Chapter 639

“I called because I miss you,” Jenny said, getting straight to the point. “How are you handling Pearl?”

Hugo understood that she still cared about this matter and just smiled. “How do you want me to handle

it?”

While it sounded like he was seeking her opinion, Jenny sensed something different. “Didn’t we agree

that once she goes abroad, we’ll take care of her?” In this context, “taking care of her

“I know, but it’s not the right time yet.”

Jenny’s patience was wearing thin. “Not the right time? You’ve been gone for at least a week.”

The old Hugo would never be so dismissive. He would always find a way to fulfill her wishes promptly.

Now, it felt like he was brushing her off.

“Wait just a little longer. I’m on it.”

Hearing his reluctance, Jenny couldn’t help but feel uncertain. “Get it done soon then.”

“Don’t worry, Jenny. I’ll do as you say,” Hugo reassured her, his tone gentle yet more resolute.

Jenny finally smiled. “I know you’ll always treat me the best.”

Hugo smiled in return, but inside, his heart felt cold. If he treated her so well, then why wouldn’t she

“Yes?”

Seeing the cold reception from the assistant, Jenny knew she had to use a softer approach to get what

“No way, you’re not famous enough.” The assistant immediately shot her down.

Jenny placed her hand on his shoulder and gave him a shoulder massage. “Winston, you’re the nicest

person I know. I’m sure you can figure something out, right?”

No man could easily refuse when gentle hands massaged their shoulders. The assistant found himself

distracted, his hand touching hers, though his expression remained neutral. “Why don’t you come to my

place tonight, and we’ll talk about it.”

Jenny smiled happily. “Sure, Winston.”

When Pearl woke up, it was getting dark. The room felt empty and lonely.
