Fall in Love After the Flash Marriage novel Chapter 151

Jenny goes to the 10th floor nervously. Lilian has not come back to the office. It seems Luke was back here a moment ago with the door still not shut tightly.

Looking through the door, Luke is some of tired on the chair, with a fresh cup of tea on table.

He should be too exhausted after driving over night to attend the press conference in the early morning.

Jenny keeps thousands of words in her mind but right now does not know what to say.

She knocks on the door.

“Come in.”

Luke sees there is Jenny standing beside the door and soon turns out to look more energetic.

“I take some dessert for you. Would you like to have it?” Jenny tries to break the ice.

Luke has a look at her hands with nothing at all and asks, “Where is it?”

“Oh?” Jenny is stunned and shortly finds she does not take anything here, “Sorry. I am going to get it in the meeting room.”

“No, thank you.” Luke says.

Jenny hears it just before leaving his office.

Luke continues, “Come have a seat. I have something to tell you.” Jenny waits for a couple of seconds, still turns back into his office.

There is a black sofa of genuine leather; it is greatly cozy to sit.

But Jenny is not in a mood to feel how cozy the sofa is. She is always anxious every time Luke tells her he wants to talk with her.

Luke stands up behind his desk and comes to sit on some opposite side of Jenny, with a black file folder in his hand.

“What’s this?” Jenny asks.

“Application for funds of your studio.”

Jenny hears his voice when opening the folder.

“Approved.” Luke goes on.

Then she raises her head to watch Luke, “Could you give it to Shawn?”

Normally, Shawn deals with all issues regarding her studio. Jenny knows too little about business to get involved in many details; she just needs to attend different events.

Luke looks kind of strange and says after clearing his throat, “Artists should also check a part of details. To avoid getting cheated by others.”

Jenny supposes that Luke does not believe Shawn is honest and explains at once, “Shawn is not as you imagine. She is so good to our artists.”

“I didn’t mean by that.” Luke interrupts her.

Jenny becomes confused by him. Later she asks, “So what did you mean?”

They both feel a little bit embarrassed to continue their talk.

A moment later, Luke takes two tickets out of his top inside pocket and puts on the table, “I have two tickets for a drama play on tomorrow. Will you be available to watch it?”

Jenny does not expect him to talk about this. But she is greatly excited when seeing some information on the tickets; in her eyes are full of brilliance. She cannot help shouting out, “Oh my God! It is Thunderstorm, from Sky Drama Club and being acted by Rupert Wright! I know it difficult to buy. How did you?”

“You are too happy for only two tickets. It is from my friend.”

Luke gives her a peaceful look and answers.

Jenny smiles to him with embarrassment, “Please excuse me. This is really hard to get. You might not understand if you are not interested in drama. Rupert Wright only performs in two plays every year so that even rich people hardly buy tickets. They are usually sold out immediately after starting to sell. I have never been so lucky.”

Before Luke replies, she looks at him again, with tickets in her arms and asks, “You will go?”

Luke stands up to walk to his desk and says, “Now I am not sure.”

Jenny also stands up and says to his back in great excitement, “Tomorrow 7:30p.m., I will wait for you at the gate of the theater.”

Luke says, “Hum.”

She should understand his answer now.

Out of Jenny’s sight, Luke has a gentle smile that cannot be hidden in eyes.

Shortly after Jenny coming out of his office with overjoy, Shawn asks her to take photos for the front page of the company’s magazine in photographer’s studio. It is said that the company are ready to carry out some new projects to get improved. These projects will involve artists of all ages and levels within the group. From the company, it would like to take photos of these artists with personal studio in Jade Picture and then put the photos up in the lobby downstairs in the building.

Some artists seldom stay in the company; for the job they all appear here today.

Most of them are the senior ones to Jenny in the industry. Although she walks along and keeps greeting in a respect way to everyone, she is pushed to stand in the center by those low-profiles. She feels too much nervous about this.

It takes a lot of time to finish. Then Jenny asks Shawn about being the brand embassy of Eshmour.

She has already agreed to act for two scripts. Once she starts these jobs, the directors might not allow her to leave for other events. Considering that, she would like to work for Eshmour first if both parties confirm about their cooperation.

Nevertheless, Shawn is helpless too about that and says, “I reminded them frequently. All details and contract should be ready before, but there was a problem regarding the rumor. Now everything is clarified, they still require to wait and see for a period.”

Jenny bites her lips and says with a nod, “I see.”

“Don’t worry. It makes sense. The previous brand embassy has never been gossiped, so they should think twice before entitling you. Just let them see. You need to be careful recently.”

“OK.” Jenny says.

It has been long time since her interview by Eshmour finished. In the middle, she only got a call from them with no more news. Jenny believes she failed it, but Shawn told her to wait for a while to be reevaluated. The information definitely distracts her from these agreeable jobs.

Right before leaving company, Jenny receives a call from Victoria who landed just now and will pick up baggage in the airport. On the call, she starts to complain her tough boss to Jenny.

“I cannot understand what he is thinking about! A couple of days ago, he asked me to call some cleaners at night. I did fucking it from 11pm to mid night. I should go sleep! So, you know he is insane!”

“He asked for cleaners at night? The hotel room is not good?”

“It’s not hotel! I think my boss has another girl and they live in a new apartment. Shameless!”

Victoria will become much angry as soon as she is talking about her boss. She continues, “That’s disgusting. Now I have no appetite at all.”

“Don’t you?” Jenny looks at her watch and says, “I have an appointment with Adan for dinner tonight. You will not join us?”

“Dinner? With Adan?” Victoria shouts on the call, “I have to go. Forget what I said. Send me address ASAP. I have to eat something. You don’t know how yukky the food in the air!”

“OK. I sent to you earlier today. You might not read it immediately after landing.” Jenny says.

“I will check. Darling, love you.” Victoria holds off the call.

Hearing her voice full of joy, Jenny watches her phone screen to smile.

She appointed Adan for the dinner earlier before but to be delayed by this accident. It was solved today, Adan called her to meet at once.

Tonight, Jenny does not hesitate any more to tell Adan and Victoria all about her story until she remembers Luke was annoyed with some unknown reason before.
