To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex)
Chapter 906 When You Turned Me Down in the Past

"Yeah, you should at least give me a chance to get to know you better." Melissa nodded and looked at Alfred with anticipation. He ignored her and turned to Jenny. "Why didn't you think of giving me a chance when you turned me down in the past?"

The two women fell into silence. The atmosphere was frigid for a moment, but Jenny was quick. "That's because I know you didn't pursue me out of interest-you just wanted to compete against Alec."

Alfred had nothing to say against her claim, and Melissa let out a relieved sigh. She'd be at a loss if Alfred was truly in love with Jenny. Jenny was better in all aspects, and more importantly, she was her boss. Thankfully, Alfred wasn't truly into Jenny.

"If you have nothing else to discuss, I'll leave." He stood up without any intent to continue the chat.

Jenny didn't stop him, worried that he might cause more embarrassment. "He'd better leave now and go back to making money for me," she thought.

Melissa didn't want him to leave, but she knew Alfred wouldn't listen to her.

Soon, Alfred left the restaurant, leaving Jenny and Melissa to finish their meals.

"I hope there's no misunderstanding. His feelings for me are not what you think. You might not know his relationship with Alec Faust..."

"I know," Melissa muttered, earning a shocked glance from Jenny. "I've looked into Alec before, but it wasn't anything major."

Melissa knew the relationship between Alec and Alfred, which was why she immediately understood the situation when Jenny brought up Alec. "More importantly, even if Alfred likes you, it wouldn't lead to any misunderstanding. He's clearly not into me." She appeared rather upset.

Jenny didn't know what to say to Melissa. She went ahead and offered words of comfort, "Straight guys like Alfred know nothing about romance. As long as you don't give up, you will touch his heart one day." Jenny believed that persistence was the key to dating a straight guy.

"Okay. Even if you don't point that out, I do not plan to give up on him." After all, Alfred was Melissa's first crush. If she gave up on him so soon, it'd be embarrassing when the others learned about it. Jenny was reassured by Melissa's response-she seemed more resilient than previously thought. They dropped the topic of Alfred because it was a little upsetting for Melissa.

"By the way, has your senior left?" Jenny was suddenly reminded of the weird man and asked in curiosity.

Melissa shook her head. "I don't know. We're rarely in contact, mostly because he's hard to reach, but you can ask Alicia about him. She might know something." Then, Melissa stared at Jenny, waiting for her word.

Jenny shook her head dismissively. "That was just a random question. I'm not too interested in his movements anyway."

"Okay. But I guess he hasn't left. I don't think Alicia invited him over just to get into a fight with you. She knew that another person was involved in Jonathan's death besides you." To Melissa, the other suspect seemed to be the real culprit. She had told Alicia about her theory, but she had no idea if Alicia was receptive to it. If Alicia had listened, she would have gone after Yvonne.

At the mention of Yvonne, Jenny could not help but feel impressed by the woman. Even after receiving Jenny's warning, Brandon Britt insisted on keeping Yvonne by his side.

Jenny wondered if Brandon ever worried that she would take revenge on the Britts because of Yvonne. She decided that she had to pressure the Britts using the power of the Walters. She refused to make life easy for Yvonne-she had yet to make her pay for putting her in danger by fanning the flames during Randy Glass' bombing incident.
