Chapter 321: Can you talk? (1/2)

As the two sisters ate, Jen told Alex everything that had been going on in her life since she left home. Why she decided to go to university, how she met Lucas, how they ended up dating and how she ended up living with him. Alex was shocked to hear that she had had a stalker that had followed her all the way to City X.

Even though she wanted to express her surprise many times she held back because she was still curious about what happened next. An hour later, two of them finished their dinner and were having some wine when Jen suggested they go for a second round somewhere else.

Jen took out her phone and asked the driver to come back and pick them up before she continued talking to Alex.

”You didn't bring a car right?” Jen asked her sister, just in case.

”No, Jake normally drives me around, he dropped me off before going home,” Alex said as she drank her wine.

”Mmmh, is he doing better?” Jen asked, referring to his behaviour after the whole drunk driving incident.

”He is much better, quieter these days, doesn't whine about things anymore,” Alex answered with a smile.

”I must call him out for lunch or something,” Jen said with a pleased expression. After they finished their wine, Jen paid for their dinner before the two of them left their private room.

They were too immersed with each other to notice how much attention they were drawing to themselves. The host brought out their coats and even went a step further of helping them put them on before the two women walked out of the restaurant.

”You hardly ever help people put on their coats,” the waitress that had been talking to him said.

”Hehehe,” the host could only chuckle as he watched the two women disappear into the car that picked them up.

”Where will you be going to miss?” the driver asked Jen once she was comfortable in her seat.

”Let's go to Elon?” Jen asked and Alex nodded in agreement.

The driver immediately pulled into the main road and headed toward the popular lounge. Jen turned to look at Alex who was busy texting on her phone and smiled happily.

”What?” Alex asked when their eyes met.

”I just missed you,” Jen said with a smile.

”Mmmh, me too,” Alex said and hugged her arm.

”So are you seeing anyone?” Jen asked and was immediately released.

”What?” she asked in confusion.

”Who can I see when I'm so busy?” Alex asked with a pout. She hadn't been able to date anyone since she was so busy in school as she was trying not to waste her sister's efforts of taking her through university.

She had a lot of suitors then, and life had been both convenient and inconvenient because of it. After university, she immediately started working with her sister on the restaurants and the business expanded even more during that time so she didn't have time to do anything then.

She only realised how busy Jen used to be when she took on her responsibilities when Jen left. Now her love life was non-existent, and she did not entertain any hopes of that changing.

”Hire capable people to help you out. Don't be like me and deal with everything yourself,” Jen said with a frown.

”But-” Alex started but was cut off by Jen.

”Don't be a control freak and do what I say, what's the point of earning so much money if you have to kill yourself to do it?” Jen asked, and Alex pursed her lips as she thought about it.

”Okay, I'll do that,” Alex agreed.

”Good, 'cause you are about to be very busy,” Jen said as she got off the car that had stopped in front of the high-rise building where Elon was located.

”What do you mean I'm about to be busy?” Alex asked she got out of the car as well. Jen did not answer immediately and laughed instead as the two of them got into the elevator.

”Aren't you going to say anything?” Alex asked as she looked at Jen's side profile.

”I'll explain after a few drinks,” Jen said as she patted her head. Alex just glared at her in response before stepping to the side to avoid her hand.

”You used to be much cuter when you were younger,” Jen said as she got out of the elevator after Alex.

The two went into the lounge where they ordered drinks before asking to go sit at the VIP area that was more secluded. Jen knew just how much people would bother them if they sat in a visible area.

”So what did you mean by me getting busy?” Alex asked after they had started drinking.
