Lie Flat, Sugar Daddy novel Chapter 6

Rae left SV Hotel. She took a deep breath of the searing night wind and then walked along the road. She did have an appointment with Isabella, but she didn’t want to go anymore. Rae was in bad mood after Nia brought her so much trouble. Not to mention that she already told Jensen that she wouldn’t go home tonight, so he would probably not go back to the apartment tonight. She wouldn’t care and couldn’t care if he worked overtime at the office or planned to have fun tonight.

She just wanted a peaceful and quiet place tonight.

Rae didn’t know why she didn’t ask Jensen if what Eric said was true. Maybe she didn’t want to ruin the peace between them right now with some things from the past. Anyways, she needed Jensen’s help right now, so she couldn’t displease him.

Time passed and several days went by. The summer was getting hoter, and it’s time for the reporters to suffer the strong sun in order to follow the news.

Rae didn’t meet Jensen in the past few days. She heard from Reuben that recently nobody knew what Jensen was thinking. He invested a lot in the arms industry so he was super busy. He would only go home to take a shower and then head to the office. Rinse and repeat. Rae only knew that he was home when she saw the laundry getting piled up in the bathroom. They didn’t meet even once. Though, she was also busy. In order to expand her business and overtake Ophelia, Rae even attended every socializing events and business dinners that she used to hate the most these days. Hence, she didn’t get to see Jensen, as she left home early and returned late every day.

Not only she needed skills, but she also needed connections to do business nowadays.

Another night had passed.

Rae was going to attend another business dinner. The organizer ran a small entertainment company and wanted to invest a lot of money to train young handsome men who were promising. They wanted to request Rae to promote them online. To do a good promotion, Rae had to interact with her clients first to find out their tastes, so that she could introduce them well online and get the followers. She couldn’t simply start working right after they signed the contract.

Otherwise, to be honest, if she promoted someone and it turned out that they performed badly, she would get into trouble.

The weather was too hot, so Rae put on a red dress with spaghetti straps and fiddled her long curly hair in front of the mirror. She then put on a bit of makeup to polish her facial features. When she was content, she left happily in her heels. She called Jensen’s assistant to get her. Adam had been working for Jensen for a long time.

Rae got in the car and Adam’s phone was ringing non-stop. She felt bad, “Hey, why didn’t you say no to me when you are so busy? I could call a cab. I will tell Mr. Knight next time to get me a driver so that I won’t bother you.” Rae only called Adam because right now was a hard time to hail a cab and she didn’t want to see her sweating by the roadside.

“It doesn’t matter, just call me when you need me, Miss Jordan. This is part of my job,” said Adam as he concentrated on driving.

“Hmm? How is driving Mr. Knight’s secret lover around a part of your job? Remember to ask for a salary raise, don’t let him take advantage of you,” said Rae. She was just bored and said it without thinking.

“You’re not a secret lover, Miss Jordan. Please don’t say that.” Adam got anxious. Why did Miss Jordan still not know that Mr. Knight cared a lot for her? One time, when he was still new comer to the company, Mr. Knight arranged him to get Rae. Adam initially planned to send the documents first before going to Rae. Since it didn’t seem like it was urgent as Mr. Knight told him that Rae was only tired from shopping. But Mr. Knight told him that things about Rae was the most urgent, even if the whole company would go bankrupt, he had to satisfy Rae first.

He was shocked by what Mr. Knight said and quickly went to get Rae.

When Adam first met Rae, he thought that she really gorgeous. However, besides her beauty in appearance, she also seemed nonchalant as if she cared nothing and wasn’t afraid of anything. A beautiful lady with such a personality made people want to get close to her and understand her better.

Rae didn’t say anything. She rested her chin on her hand and looked out the window. She said that without thinking and didn’t want to hear any nonsense from him.

But Adam was afraid that Rae would stop requesting help from him and said seriously, “Miss Jordan, you have to call me whenever you need me. Oak may fall when reeds stand the storm. For Mr.Knight, he has a lot of enemies hiding out there. They almost had Mr. Knight a few days ago. So, if you want a drive, you must call me. Don’t give the enemies any chances…”

“What did you say? Did Jensen get hurt?” Rae asked after hearing what Adam said.

The business that Jensen was doing only looked nice on the surface. The truth was that the Knight family had munitions business secretly.

Jensen didn’t want to get involved, but it was already part of their family business. He was a member of the Knight family and had to take part.

Adam knew that he said something wrong. He quickly shut up, not knowing if he should continue talking or not.

Mr. Knight would blame him if he said too much. But he felt sorry for Mr. Knight if he didn’t say anything. Mr. Knight got hurt but his girl didn’t know anything.

Rae was impatient with Adam who was hesitating too long. She said directly, “I’ll get out of the car if you don’t tell me what happened.”

“…Okay. Well, when Mr. Knight went to purchase a batch of munitions, the seller took the chance to raise the price. There was an exchange of fire, and Mr. Knight got shot in the shoulder.” Adam couldn’t bear the pressure Rae imposed on him. He answered honestly but was afraid that Rae would get worried and hence he added, “Thanks God it was not so serious, The bullet didn’t hurt his bones, so he’s practically fine now.”

After Rae heard what he added, she felt reassured.

No wonder she felt like the number of dirty clothes left at home didn’t add up. Jensen was a neat freak and would change his clothes very often in the summer. But the laundry in the bathroom wasn’t that much. Jensen probably threw away some of his clothes with blood on them to prevent her from finding them out.
