Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) -
Chapter 22
Chapter 22
Rayan was slightly stunned. There were always bootlickers every day, but he rarely met competitorslike Hansen. At this time, however, Hansen was smiling and toasting him. He really sat down whenRayan invited him to. Rayan could feel the tension in the air, as if Hansen was challenging him.
Rayan was born to be a powerhouse, so he smiled politely at the moment. He raised his glass andgulped down the wine. He said generously, "I really didn't this was your territory, Mr. Richards. If Ihad known, I would have invited you to join us for lunch."
The wine slipped into their mouths and down their throat. Hansen's eyes narrowed and he smiled.Rayan also drank the wine in one gulp.
At this time, they looked peaceful and friendly, as if they were good friends that just reunited.
However, Jenna didn't think so. She felt an invisible pressure that made it difficult for her to breathe.
Guns and clubs, swords and spears!
As if she could smell the hostility in the air, she wanted to stand up and slip away.
However, Hansen seemed to have seen through her mind and stretched out a leg in front of her. Itseemed that he did it on purpose, but his eyes did not even look at her from the start.
Jenna's breathing became shallow again as she thought, "What does he want?" They were justhaving a meal. What was wrong with having a meal together as friends? Although she workedunder Richards Group, she didn't sell her body. He really was too controlling.
Of course, Jenna understood the sensitive nature of her work. After all, she was in the sameindustry, and she had even worked for the competitors before. That would understandably makepeople worry.
Sure enough, after putting down his wine glass, Hansen, who had never taken the initiative to pourwine for others, unexpectedly replenished Rayan's glass. He completely ignored Jenna and seemedto have forgotten the confrontation between them last night!
He didn't blush nor did he look nervous. Instead, he was unceasingly courteous.
Rayan was able to restrain himself very well. Since Hansen was polite to him, he also respondedcourteously. The two of them drank together, and the atmosphere seemed very harmonious.
Jenna had never seen Hansen socializing in public. When she saw them talking about casual topicsand occasionally smiling politely, she felt like a weight was off her shoulder.
Aria sat opposite them and looked at them with a cold expression.
In front of so many people, and in the presence of his beloved, he had to think about his ownreputation. Moreover, this was his own shop, he couldn't ruin his reputation!
"Mr. Whalen, I heard that you're going to get married soon?" Hansen asked casually, his eyelashesdrooping slightly after drinking a few glasses of red wine.
Jenna, who was cutting steak with her head down, suddenly shuddered and dropped the fork in herhand. It fell on the plate with a 'clank1!
Rayan was about to get married? Why didn't she know about it?
Hansen's seemingly casual remarks sounded harsh in Jenna's ears!
Since she had first met Rayan, she had never asked him about his personal affairs, nor did shewant to ask him about them. They had been getting along well with each other.
But today, after that d*mned Hansen said it so casually, she was still surprised! Although she hadnever loved Rayan before, with her natural sensitivity, she felt it was too sudden and she was evenslightly disappointed.
After all, they were so close, so why didn't he tell her that he was about to get married? She didn'twant to be overly close to an engaged man, much less cause any scandals.
"Rayan, don't forget to invite me to your wedding," Hansen said. Jenna dropped her cutlery, andHansen saw her disappointed face. He sneered in his heart, but he squeezed a sincere smile on hisface. He maintained a natural expression as if he didn't even hear Jenna dropping her utensils onthe plate.
However, Rayan's expression changed!
When he heard the sound of the fork dropping from Jenna's hand, he felt a twinge in his eyes. Atrace of panic flashed across his face, and he looked at her with a little guilt.
Jenna knew that she had lost her composure.
"I'm sorry." She hurriedly picked up the fork, but out of the corner of her eyes, she glanced over atHansen who was sitting next to her. She happened to catch his eye, and Jenna's face was burninghot. She hurriedly looked away.
The smile on Hansen's face became more obvious. In Jenna's opinion, it was a scornful andmocking smile, as if he was laughing at her for crossing the line and associating intimately with amarried man.
Annoyance, displeasure, and all types of feelings surged. Jenna felt uncomfortable and scared atthe same time, as if her whole body had been stripped naked by him and her bare self was exposedin the open.
This self-righteous guy must have thought that they had a relationship. However, what did it have todo with him? Did he have to come and rub it in her face?
"Jen, are you okay?" Rayan asked. Jenna's face was red and she looked uncomfortable. It madehim nervous and he asked thoughtfully, "The steak is already cold, how about we get anotherplate?"
At this time, after hearing Rayan's concern for her, Hansen turned his head, acting as if he just sawJenna sitting next to him.
There was a 'friendly' smile in his black eyes. The smile was full of sarcasm and complacency. Hissmile was so bright that Jenna gritted her teeth and wished she could punch him blind.
"No, thanks. I'm already full," she quickly lowered her eyes and said in a low and weak voice. Thecorner of her eyes fell on Hansen's five slender fingers, which was holding onto a wine glass. Hisbeautiful finger was tapping nonchalantly on the wine glass, and it made him look proud andarrogant.
She really couldn't stay seated anymore.
Hansen smiled calmly and looked at Rayan in front of him, who was showing a flurry of emotions.The world talked about this man being gentle, elegant, rich, young, promising, handsome, andconfident.
However, when it came to Jenna, he felt panic, confusion, pain and love.
This d*mned woman was really good at playing tricks!
Through a man's intuition, he understood the meaning in Rayan's eyes.
Hansen's heart was boiling with anger.
"I'm done eating. I'm leaving." Jenna stood up at the right time and said politely.
"Jen, wait." Rayan saw Jenna stood up and was about to leave, so he hurriedly sprung to his feet.
"Since you have finished eating, I won't bother you anymore." Hansen also stood up and smiled. Hereached his hand out to Rayan like a gentleman.
Rayan hesitated for a moment and reciprocated his gesture in the end.
The two slender hands clenched together.
Rayan was concerned about Jenna, and all his attention was on her. When he saw her exiting, hewanted to rush after her.
However, Hansen's grip on Rayan's hand became tighter. Rayan wanted to get rid of his hand, buthe was so strong that he couldn't loosen his hand, yet he couldn't just throw it off too. He could onlyhold it with a grudge and watched as Jenna left, step by step.
His eyes were sharp, and he understood what Hansen was doing, so he stared at Hansen closely.
They saw hostility in each other's cold eyes. First, it was slight, and then it intensified.
Sparks gradually appeared in Rayan's eyes. He had completely lost this round.
