Pregnant with Tycoon's Ex Kneels novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42

The whole private room suddenly went so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

lensina rarely felt embarrassed, but this was a work situation, and Stanley was her biggest client.

She reminded herself to keep work and personal matters separate.

After a moment, she pulled herself together, “Mr. Herring was just joking.”

Then, I walked in and closed the door behind me.

She had just walked a few steps when she noticed there was only one empty seat left, and it was on Stanley’s left.

The extra chairs were all taken away by the waiter.

In that awkward moment, she looked up and saw Stanley watching her calmly, his long fingers tapping the table now and then, “I can tell, you’re still afraid of me.”

Jensina fought the urge to turn around and leave, and forced herself to walk over. “Mr. Herring, looks like your reputation in the Herring Group wasn’t that great, otherwise you wouldn’t always feel like everyone’s afraid of you.”

“You were right.”

Stanley didn’t care. Ask them, who isn’t afraid of me?”

When he finished speaking, he looked at her, the corners of his mouth barely curved, “Only you weren’t afraid of me.”

The others were silent.

I couldn’t figure out what Stanley really meant.

I even thought, Stanley paying too much attention to us mortals wasn’t a good thing either!

This meal was really stressful.

Luckily, the door of the private room opened just in time, and the waiter came in one after another with the dishes.

The project leader was pretty sharp. Even though he couldn’t tell what exactly was going on between Jensina and Stanley, he was sure there was definitely something between them.

Rubin Steele raised his glass and looked at Jensina, “Ms. Warren, this project needed your Traditional Medicine Team to put in extra effort. I’ll drink first to show my respect.”

“It was what I was supposed to do.”

Jensina picked up her wine glass and clinked it lightly, “Looking forward to working well together.”

When she finished speaking, she didn’t fuss and downed the red wine in her glass.

Just had a really low tolerance for alcohol, and after a few drinks, those fair cheeks got especially rosy from the booze.

But she could hold her liquor. When she drank too much, she just sat in her seat, resting her head in her hands.

She originally thought things were still under control and she could keep up with some professional topics, but as they kept talking, the person

in front of her started to blur.

The whole person just floated up, and the head got heavy.

Rubin didn’t expect her to be such a lightweight.“Ms. Warren’s drinking…”

“She usually didn’t drink, this alcohol was too strong.”

Eduardo picked up the wine bottle on the table and glanced at it, then said, “Well, it’s getting late. I’ll take her home first.”

Jensina heard someone talking, but she felt groggy and it seemed like someone was helping her walk out.

She came with Eduardo today, and the reason she dared to drink was because she knew someone she knew was there.

As long as there were more men than women at the table, there was always alcohol.

She didn’t mind giving Rubin this favor, so that the communication in the later development process could go more smoothly.

I just didn’t expect the aftereffect of this red wine to be so strong today.

Eduardo just helped her out of the restaurant, and a black Bentley slowly stopped in front of them.

The car window was down. Stanley sat in the back seat and glanced, almost imperceptibly, at his hand resting on Jensina’s shoulder. He reminded him in a businesslike way:

“Mr. Faulkner might need to go back to the private room, Rubin still had some professional questions to discuss with you.”

When he was about to leave just now, I didn’t hear Rubin say anything either.

Eduardo frowned, “But Sina drank too much. How about I take her home first and then come back?”

“It’s okay.”

Stanley pushed open the car door, grabbed the girl’s slim waist, and said casually, “I’m leaving anyway, I’ll give her a ride.”

The tone was as casual as just doing a good deed for the day.

Eduardo wasn’t at ease, “Mr. Herring…”

“Mr. Faulkner,

Stanley looked so indifferent that you couldn’t see any emotion.“Are you afraid I’ll sell her off to some remote mountain village?”

Eduardo choked for a second, and he had also heard a bit about his and Jensina’s past from Pierre.

Before that thing happened back then, he had always been a good brother.

Thinking of this, Eduardo didn’t insist anymore, “Then I’ll trouble Mr. Herring.”

Stanley nodded and just picked the person up and put them in the car.

The sudden lift into the air made Jensina snap out of it a bit. She scrambled up on the leather seat in a panic.

My eyes were blurry, and I called out without thinking, “Eduardo…”

The car was moving smoothly on the road. The streetlights, blocked by the branches on both sides, cast dappled light into the car, making Stanley’s sharp, deep face look even colder and scarier.

“Got along well with Eduardo?”

This voice was just too familiar, so familiar that it drove away the panic in Jensina’s heart and made her let down her guard.

She leaned against the headrest, half–asleep, and admitted honestly, “Not bad.”

“Eduardo… was really nice to me.”

The man glanced at the girl’s fair, lovely face, his eyes flickering. He tried to be patient and coaxed her, “Stanley wasn’t good to Birdie?”

“Stanley?”

It was probably because no one had called her by her nickname for a long time.

It was probably just the alcohol making her nerves relax too much. Jensina muttered, feeling a bit of a sting in her nose, but even drunk, she still

held back her tears out of habit.

She pouted a little, then seemed a bit relieved, “He… he didn’t want me anymore.”

How she was heartlessly sent back to Madam Herring seven years ago, she remembered even when she was drunk.

It was too deeply rooted.
