Fall in Love After the Flash Marriage novel Chapter 161

“What do you mean by belittling the enemy? Can you don’t beat around the bush?”

Sky looks at her scornfully.

“Am I the one beating around the bush? Sky, you are the same after all these years. You clearly like Luke but you put on a cold look. You think that you can behave like a little sister to him but you didn’t expect that Jenny would appear from out of nowhere.”

Beneath the table are her clenched fists which are turning blue. Her nails also started to dig into her flesh.

But the owner of these hands continues with her angelic smile towards the middle-aged lady, “You’re thinking too much. I’m just friends with Luke.”

“I’m sick of your indifference.” Andy couldn’t resist and scolds and then looks outside the window. “Hey, that girl has come out.”

Following the direction of her gaze, Sky looks outside and sees a petite person walking out of Eshmour’s main door, wearing a mask and a hat with a pink scarf. She stands at the door for a while and then flags down a taxi and leaves.

“Hey, haven’t you noticed that she is different from you? Don’t you think that suits Luke who is cold?”

“I don’t think so.” Sky turns and looks at Andy.

“Jealous?”

“I just feel that this woman is unworthy of Luke.”

“Do you think that you are the only one in this world that is worthy of Luke?”

Andy looks at Sky’s expression when she speaks and sees the look of disbelief on Sky’s face.

“If it was really a life partner for Luke, the most suitable should be me and not her. It’s you’re your company’s spokesperson for pearls, I believe that you will pay a price for today’s decision. When you look for me again, I will adjust the price down a little because of our relationship.”

“Having said all these, aren’t you just trying to cover your desires for Luke,” Andy says pointedly and directly at the key point of her words. She laughs and uses the teaspoon to rapidly stir the coffee, mirroring the feelings that Sky is feeling.

“But I will advise you one thing, just like the spokesperson for Eshmour, the surprise that Jenny can bring far exceeds these. If it’s not suitable for you, your persistence would be futile.”

Sky looks at Andy calmly and a chill flash across her eyes, “Cheque please!”

She walks elegantly like a princess of ancient times. Andy’s attention follows her until she goes into her luxury car. Thereafter she holds onto the back of her head and leans back into the sofa and sighs, revealing her amusement for the matter.

From the moment she knew Sky, she has always maintained that fake princess persona. Only when Luke is mentioned will she reveal her true self for a moment or two. Actually, she feels that it is alright to occasionally put down your modesty for a man.

Sky was totally unsuitable for Luke. She knows this for a while already but it is Sky who doesn’t.

Jenny comes out from the taxi and lowers her hat and walks hurriedly into Jade picture.

The first day when the office was established, the company had prepared a space especially for her. Today she officially separates herself from this company.

As she walks into the department, “Pop pop” two rounds of party crackers sound, and then numerous colored confetti drift in the air. Daniel, Michelle and Jessica’s ex-manager Tony and some staff surround a small cake and welcome her.

“Congratulations to Jenny for setting her own agency!”

Daniel has a bottle of champagne in his hands, “Pop!” and the champagne spills over the floor. Michelle pulls Jenny to the cake to blow out the candles, “Come come come, this was prepared by everyone, make a wish.”

Jenny is dumbfounded, “I just set up this agency and have not left. Why is this like a farewell party?”

“Spit spit spit, this is in celebration of your bright future and don’t ever forget me.” Michelle hugs her arm to her chest and the warm and soft feeling makes her hair stand on end. If it had been a man, he’d already have some reaction. Jenny awkwardly extracts her arm.

“Thanks for everyone’s kindness.”

Michelle laughs, “No need to thank us. It’s all Daniel’s efforts. When Daniel heard that you are leaving our department, he was very upset and even threw a tantrum!”

“No, I didn’t,” Daniel wags his finger and turns to look at her, “What are you yapping about?”

“Hey, didn’t you say that your person was going to be touched by another makeup artist and you were unwilling to lose her? What’s that about Jenny’s hair is yours and no one can touch it, didn’t you say that?”

“Hmph, I didn’t say that.”

“Then it was said by the god!”

“Okay, okay, I’ll blow the candles!” Jenny hurriedly blows the candles which adds to the atmosphere, “let’s cut the cake. I’m not leaving the company and I’ll be downstairs. If you’re bored you can look for me anytime.”

They start to cut the cake happily except for Daniel who is sulking at one side picking his fingernails.

Jenny cuts the cake and walks to Daniel, “Daniel, have some cake, you’ll lose out if you don’t eat the cake which you bought.”

“I won’t eat, how much fatter will I get if I eat them. Recently I’ve not been attending my yoga classes so I can only cut my intake.”

“No worries, I will eat with you. If I have the time, I’ll go with you to the yoga class…”

“Stop it,” Daniel rolls his eyes at her, “You’re famous now, when will you find time for your gal pals?”

Jenny bites the fork and ponders. She blinks and says, “Why don’t I sign a few more posters for you to sell, you can use the money to buy some face mask…”

“Ha…” Daniel laughs, “Do you think that you are that famous? How much can I earn from your autographed posters?”

“Then I’ll buy the facial masks for you!” Jenny pulls his hands and places the cake in his hand, “Eat, I tasted it and it’s very nice, thanks a lot.”

“Jenny, don’t anyhow style your hair, most importantly, if you need to perm your hair, you need to look for me, remember…”

“My head is your head!” Jenny completes his sentence before Daniel could finish and then they both laugh.

Shawn is by the side and she postponed the announcements for the opening of the agency. Actually, Jenny is rather free and she is happy with that. Shawn gives Jenny a piece of cake and points her lips in the direction of the office, “Serve a piece of cake to Mr. Hill. No matter what, he has been rather good to you. Leave with a good feeling.”

Jenny’s eyes look towards the door of Mr. Hill’s office.

Normally when it becomes rowdy, Mr. Hill would already be out of his office. But today he remains inside for reasons unknown.

When she ponders over those days, Jenny’s heart sighs, that kind of hurt has diminished. Her initial feelings of being wronged are gone. Now it’s just sorrow but perhaps it’s an unknown feeling, the familiar feeling of the unknown.

“Okay.” She nods. She takes the plate and walks towards the office.
