To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex)

Chapter 18 My Understanding of Alec's Character

At Parrington Hospital.

Jenny had just got off work when she received a call from Gilbert. After finding out that he was waiting at the hospital's main entrance, she quickly changed and rushed over.

"Gilbert." When she saw the man leaning against his car not far away from her, she smiled and waved at him.

Soon, she arrived in front of Gilbert, "Gilbert, why did you come here all of a sudden?"

"You wanted my help, didn't you? I came over once I received the news." Gilbert flashed a smile at her with affection in his eyes.

Jenny was shocked to hear this. "So soon?"

"Yup."

After he finished speaking, Gilbert handed Jenny the document he had prepared earlier.

"This company is interested in purchasing that batch of items from the Walker family. You should get them to contact the company."

"This..." Jenny held the document in disbelief.

This fast?

"Gilbert, you're way too efficient," Jenny couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Gilbert patted her head and said, "You asked me for a favor. Of course I would get it done."

In fact, ever since he had received that call from Jenny, he hadn't rested. It was all because he wanted to help Jenny solve her problem as soon as possible. After all, this was her first time asking for his help throughout all these years.

"That's true. Gilbert, you're the best," she said. "Let's go. Let me treat you to a meal."

"Sure, I'm going to feast." Gilbert nodded. The two of them talked and laughed as they got in the car and left.

At the restaurant, Jenny sent the document to Stephanie. It was only after she reminded her again to contact the company soonest possible that she finally allowed herself to take a breather.

"So, you're saying that because Alec overheard Stephanie badmouthing him, he decided to stop working with the Walker family?" Gilbert asked as he passed her a dish.

Jenny nodded. She couldn't help but rant, "He ended the collaboration the next day. I would never have expected that guy to be so petty."

However, Gilbert shook his head. He told Jenny, "Based on my understanding of Alec's character, he's not such a capricious person. There must be another reason why he decided to stop working with the Walker family."

"It's Alec Faust. A person who built the Faust Group up to what it is today is definitely not such a wilful and illogical person," he thought.

Actually, Jenny felt the same way too. But the timing of the situation was such that she couldn't help but think otherwise.

"What do you think the actual reason could be?" she asked. She didn't understand business stuff.

Gilbert was silent for a while before he opened his mouth. "Now that he has stopped working with the Walker family, he needs to find a new supplier. We'll find out the reason once we know the new supplier." Suddenly, everything clicked. "I'll get Zack to help me investigate."

"Alright." Gilbert nodded.

The two of them chatted while they ate. Just as they were deep in conversation, Jenny heard an irritating voice that made her frown subconsciously.

"Dr. Walter? Can't believe I bumped into you here." Faye was full of smiles. She looked thrilled.

In contrast, Alec, who was standing hext to her, didn't seem so happy. With the same dull expression, he looked as if someone owed him a million dollars. Jenny suppressed her annoyance and turned to look at Faye. "Yeah, what a coincidence."

"Why don't we share a table? The more, the merrier,” she suggested.

Jenny, however, knitted her eyebrows. She was a bit reluctant. "Is that a good idea? I don't think it's appropriate to let Mr. Faust share a table with us."

"It's Alec Faust, for crying out loud. Shouldn't he have a private room? How embarrassing would it be for him to sit at the same table as us in the main hall?" she thought.

But Faye didn't notice Jenny's reluctant attitude. She turned around and asked, "Alec, what do you think?"
