"Alec! When did I allow you to kiss me?" Jenny scolded, gritting her teeth as she fumed. She wasn't his girlfriend, so what right did he have to kiss her? "Sorry. I couldn't help myself," Alec apologized. But his face clearly showed he wasn't sorry about it, and he seemed quite pleased that he'd done it.

He was still laughing, while Jenny was angry and annoyed. She pushed him away and called him a jerk before heading upstairs to return to her apartment. As she walked away, Alec was about to follow her, bu the shopkeeper stopped him.

"Young man, how do you like this photo I took of you two?" The lady smiled and showed him the picture she had just taken. She was quite proud of it.

Alec was momentarily stunned when he saw it, but then a smile spread across his face. "It's beautiful."

"I thought that sight just now was particularly stunning," she said happily, glad she didn't miss such a magical moment.

Alec took out his phone and asked, somewhat embarrassed, "Could you send me that photo? I-I want to save it on my phone."

"Of course."

Afterward, Alec received the photo from the shopkeeper and looked at it several times before leaving with a satisfied grin. However, because of that delay, he was unable to catch up to Jenny. When he got upstairs, she'd already returned home, and he could only smile bitterly outside her closed door.

Inside her room, Jenny changed out of her wet clothes that had been soaked by the snow. Even though some time had passed, her cheeks were still red.

"Jerk!" she muttered to herself.

Just as she was thinking of him, he texted her, "Do you want breakfast? I'm outside your door."

Jenny wanted to say no, but her growling stomach had other ideas. With that, she opened her door, as her starving body was craving food.

"Where did you buy the breakfast?" she asked.

"I had Vincent buy it for me." Vincent had just delivered it when he got home, so it was still warm.

Jenny rolled her eyes and couldn't help but criticize him, "It's so cold outside, yet you made Vincent go and buy breakfast for you without a care."

"He seemed to be quite happy to do it." After all, it was almost the end of the year, and he would receive a substantial bonus. So, why wouldn't he be happy?

Jenny didn't continue chastising him. After all, as the CEO of a big company, he wouldn't understand the everyday struggles of an average worker.

"Aren't you going to work today?" Jenny asked while eating her breakfast.

"I am. I'm employed at Faust Group now, so of course, I have to clock in every day." Alec meant it literally. He went there just to clock in and didn't do anything else.

Jenny took a bite of her waffle and said, "I heard that Zeke has already asked Yakov to take over the position that Xavier used to hold. It seems he intends for him to take over Faust Group, is that right?" "He may want to take over, but it will also depend on whether he has the ability to do so."

Considering the current mess the Fausts were in, Yakov would struggle to sort it out with his limited abilities. Moreover, Alec wouldn't make it easy for him.

"You always make extraordinary moves, Mr. Faust," Jenny complimented. When Alec said he wanted to take over the Faust family, not even she believed it, let alone outsiders.

But what about now?

For now, it seemed like Zeke had no intention of handing over the Faust family to Alec, but he would soon realize that he had no choice.

Alec had indisputably won this round.

Hearing Jenny's compliment, Alec was amused and rather pleased. "Why don't you take a day off today?"

"Why?" She had no reason to take a day off out of the blue.

"To help Max," Alec replied, handing Jenny his phone and showing her their chat records.

Jenny read it and was stunned for a while, and she was unable to react for some time.
