Chapter 85
Jenna’s words were straightforward, causing Sophie to almost spit out her sip of iced tea. “Erm. It’s not a good fit”
“Why not? Isn’t my cousin handsome? He’s way better looking then James!
“I didn’t say he wasn’t handsome”
“And in terms of money and power, they’m pretty much equals.
“It’s not about that.” Sophie shook her head, “Love isn’t something that just happens because you want it to.”
“That’s it, then. My cousin has no chance”
Jenna looked genuinely disappointed. “So, what do you feel about him? Like him? Dislike him?”
“I wouldn’t say I like him, but I definitely don’t dislike him. I even think he’s a nice guy”
Jenna nodded. There was still a chance then.
At that moment, Jenna’s phone in her pocket flashed, indicating a call in progress with ‘cousin.”
On the other end, Colby ended the call, his brows furrowed deeply.
Adler, munching on pizza beside him, asked, “What’s with the grim look? Did Jenna say something to you?”
“How does one even begin to have feelings?
“Huh?”
Adler asked. “Why would she ask you that?”
Colby frowned, “So how does one start to have feelings?”
“Just keep at her. The more you pursue her, the more she’ll fall for you.”
Just as Adler finished, he suddenly looked anxious, “What’s happening? Is Jenna dating someone?”
“No.”
Colby spoke calmly. “It’s about a friend of mine. He said the girl he likes doesn’t have feelings for him.”
“That friend wouldn’t happen to be you, would it?”
Colby glanced at Adler, who mised his hands, “Okay, forget I asked.”
Colby was seriously pondering this
s when his gaze
accidentally caught Adler’s plate of pizza, “I thought you didn’t like that?”
“Well, Jenna likes it, insisted I order a portion for her, so I got one too, to see what the fuss was about.”
“And? Is it good?”
“It’s alright.”
Adler shook his head, “Last time, Jenna made me order her a blue cheese roll. This woman’s tastes are truly hard to understand.”
Colby’s frown deepened as he thought hard, then said, “I understand now.”
“What do you understand?”
Adler looked puzzled at Colby.
The next day, a knock on the door woke Sophie up. Opening the door, she saw the building’s security guard with a delivery, “Ms. Sophie, here’s your package.”
“For me?”
The guard replied, “A friend sent it.”
“My friend?”
“Who would that be? Waking people up so early in the morning.”
Jenna also got up, scratching her head and sleepily glanced at the cardboard box on the floor, asking, “What’s this?”
“I don’t know. Let’s open it and find out
Curious, Sophie opened the box, and a familiar scent wafted out
Sophie paused. Jenna sniffed and said, “Is that the smell of blue cheese?”
