Chapter 929 You'll Like Her
"I'll work hard and pay you back, don't worry, I won't ask for money from you guys," Jenna said asshe bit her lip, afraid he would misunderstand.
She had been chasing after him every day and it was already annoying enough. If she asked formoney again, he would definitely hate her even more.
"What will you use to pay them back? This is 500 thousand dollars and you don't even have a jobright now," Rhys said as he pursed his lips. He didn't know what she was thinking.
Suddenly, he remembered that she was now his personal assistant. His face turned black instantlyand the only trace of pity in his heart disappeared without a trace.
"You either go out and find a job to make up the 500 thousand dollars or go home. As long as youdon't bother me at work anymore, I'll give it to you," Rhys gave Jenna two options directly for her tochoose from.
Jenna shook her head; neither option suited her needs.
"I can continue bothering you and ask my mom for money."
She only said this just to fool Rhys because she couldn't do such an indecent thing.
She could take online courses while doing some odd jobs on the internet which could help savesome expenses until she saved up enough money on her own without having any involvement withthose gangsters who tempted their father into gambling again.
"Jenna! You really live up to your gambling family background; shameless!" Rhys stopped walkingand turned around yelling angrily at Jenna,
"Just now I saved your life but this is how you repay me?"
If he knew this would happen earlier, then he shouldn't have gotten involved in her business at all.
"At work, we won't interfere with each other's affairs. All I want is a small desk space where I canwork normally while receiving normal salary payments from my account every month."
"As far as this child goes... you should know that neither of us can refuse it."
Jenna talked about conditions with him calmly.
Rhys fell silent; it was indeed a good solution because if he really drove Jenna away, then MrsWilliams would definitely come up with other tricks later on.
"Fifteen thousand per month plus another fifty thousand if your performance is good when workingat home too."
"I only want fifteen thousand per month," Jenna shook her head firmly because if she took thoseextra fifty thousand, then what about Mrs Williams? She felt like a tool being pushed around byothers wanting different things out of them both ways possible.
Kamden had been sitting in the car, watching Rhys and Jenna, occasionally making a clickingsound with his tongue. Rhys kept insisting that he didn't have feelings for Jenna and that they couldnever be together. But judging from their current behavior, it was clear that he was just beingstubborn.
Once both of them got into the car, Kamden couldn't help but turn around to take a good look atJenna. His first impression of her was that she seemed very clean-cut and innocent - not like
someone who came from the entertainment industry.
"Drive," Rhys said abruptly, noticing Kamden's behavior.
"Alrighty then! I'll take you two back home now. You can have dinner while I go out to play at thebar. Ahh... there are so many pretty girls out there but our dear Mr. Williams won't get to enjoy anyof them," Kamden teased as he drove.
Suddenly, he felt like maybe Rhys and this girl named Jenna were actually a good match - oneworldly-wise and one innocent - perhaps they could spark something special between them.
The car quickly pulled up at the Williams mansion and Jenna got out first. Just as Rhys was aboutto open his door, his friend grabbed him by the arm.
"Let's make a bet: whether or not you will fall for Jenna," Kamden said seriously as he looked at himwith five fingers extended in front of him."If we're going to do this bet, then let's make it big: oneyear is our deadline with 500 million dollars on the line."
Rhys pushed him away, immediately saying, "Ha! You better hurry up and go inherit your fortuneinstead of being a doctor; otherwise you might end up losing everything."
How could he possibly fall for someone like Jenna? He wasn't lacking women nor desperateenough to settle for anyone who came along!
Kamden had been single for too long; it seemed like madness had taken over his mind!
Back at home, Rhys threw his bag onto the couch before announcing, "I'm not eating tonight; thereare still some things I need to handle at work so you guys can eat without me."
From now on, he would try his best to avoid any contact with Jenna whatsoever.
"You stop right there!" Mrs. Williams yelled angrily."If you don't want to come back home then don'tbother coming back here again! Why do you always act this way when you come back? Are youtrying to drive me crazy?"
What kind of sin did she commit in her past life? How else could she have ended up raising such anungrateful son?novelbin
"I'm not hungry, mom; I'm all grown-up now so naturally I know when I'm hungry or full withoutanyone reminding me," Rhys replied calmly as he turned around.
He is talking about eating, but not just about eating.
"You!" Mrs. Williams heard the undertone in her son's words and was so angry that she trembled allover.
She thought it was a good start when he agreed to get married, little did she know it was just adifferent way to deal with him.
"Mom, don't be angry. If he doesn't eat, then I won't either. When he gets hungry, I'll accompany himto eat together." Jenna put down her fork and walked over to Mrs. Williams, patting her on the back.
Looking at Rhys, she added, "If he wants to eat lunch, then I'll have lunch with him. And if he getshungry in the middle of the night, I'll get up and help cook noodles."
A smile appeared on Mrs. Williams' face as she looked at her daughter-in-law with a hint of approvalin her eyes.
I didn't expect her to have this ability.
My son had accidentally chosen her, which was good. Maybe they were truly meant to be together.
"Okay, since you'll be with him, I won't worry about it. You two are grown-ups now, if you're hungry,you'll naturally eat. If you don't feel like cooking, then just call the servant."
Mrs. Williams walked up to the dining table, sat down alone and began to eat with a contentedmood.
Rhys stormed out in anger, returning to his study and slamming the door shut with a loud bangbefore locking it from the inside.
Hearing a knocking at the door, he sneered, "The door is already locked, you better leave."
The next second, the sound of a key being inserted into the lock outside could be heard, and thedoor opened directly.
"I'm here to bring you food. Are you really not hungry now?" Jenna walked in holding a bowl.
Rhys squinted his eyes in anger upon smelling the aroma of the food.
"I shouldn't have saved you back then. I should've taken photos of you with those men and shownthem to Mom, getting you kicked out of the Williams family! Is this how you repay a life-savingfavor?"
If I hadn't arrived in time, who knows what those little hooligans would have done?
"Thank you, I..."
Jenna looked at the food on the table, her eyes slightly moist.
She had no choice but to do such a thing.
Rhys threw a fit, but when he looked up, he saw the woman standing across from him with red-rimmed eyes. It was clear she had been crying, yet there was still a sense of resilience in her gaze.
