Chapter 36 Agnes was genuinely in awe of Jennyâs adaptability. The phrase âbetter bend than breakâ couldnât be more fitting for her.
attracted She hinted at that Agnes had a charm that attracted men, which was actually a way of saying that Jared only gave her the interview because he was drawn to her good looks. This insinuation gave Jenny a way out, and she looked so innocent. If Agnes made a fuss now, it would make her seem petty and unreasonable.
Although Agnes was displeased, she didnât want a spat with Jenny The thought of the woman in front of her being a dear friend she had once sincerely cared for felt like a stab in the heart.
Agnes generously said, âItâs no biggie Iâll add your name after the interviewâ
Jenny seemed a bit taken aback.
Agnes continued, âGetting to interview Jared was a collective effort from The Journalism Society. It wasnât a solo contribution.
So, President, I hope the final byline includes all members of The Journalism Societyâ
Lily was thrilled upon hearing this She knew once the magazine was published, it would cause a big stir. Having her name on such a piece was crucial for her resume.
Lily said, âAgnes, I didnât expect you to be so generous. Thank you!â
Agnes glanced at Jenny, a flash of resentment in her eyes.
Who didnât know how to put on a show and feign generosity? Agnes just didnât bother in the past.
After exiting the elevator, Jenny said, âYou all worked hard today. Let me treat you to dinner tonight. How about Cloud View?â
Everyone was surprised at the mention of Cloud View.
It was one of the most luxurious restaurants in the city, typically patronized by the rich and powerful. Ordinary people couldnât afford it.
The other members of The Journalism Society were also excited, âCloud View, I heard the cheapest dish there costs an average personâs monthly wage!â
*Jenny, youâre indeed a rich missy, so generous.â
Jenny walked up to Agnes, âAgnes, please come and consider it my way of apologizing.â
If Agnes refused, she would appear petty.
So, in the end, Agnes went to Cloud View with everyone.
Agnes knew about Jennyâs family situation and wondered why she was splashing the cash. But Agnes didnât say much.
The dinner surprisingly cost two thousand dollars.
When it came to paying the bill, Jenny pulled out a black card.
People who owned this black card were a minority in the city, all topâtier tycoons. Everyone was surprised.
Jenny usually seemed lowâkey. Who knew she was a really rich girl?
But Agnes recognized it in an instant. It was Eltonâs black card.
Lily said, âJenny, your card is something else. To my knowledge, no more than ten people in the entire city have this card.â
Jenny deliberately placed the black card on the table in front of Agnes, then said, âReally? I didnât know. Itâs a birthday gift from my boyfriend. I just treat it like a regular credit card.â
This piqued everyoneâs interest.
Someone said, âJenny, your boyfriend must be something to gift a black card casually.â
Others said, âSo envy, your boyfriend must really love you, Jenny. Weâd love to meet him.â
Jenny blushed, âHeâll pick me up in a bit.â
Everyone exclaimed in unison, âJenny, youâre so lucky.â
Just then, the door to the private room was pushed open.
A tall figure stood at the door.
Jenny quickly said, âHeâs here.â
