Chapter 478 Good Relationship
After dinner was over, Jenny walked out of the restaurant and took a deep breath. she felt much more
relaxed after taking in some fresh air. She was still uncomfortable with social settings like these.
Burying her head in surgery or scientific research was more suitable for her.
As she was thinking about that, Derrick walked to her side without her noticing. He seemed to have
something to say to her but found it difficult to find the words. “Miss Walter.”
Jenny graduated earlier than him, so she was his senior. He felt awkward about that fact.
On the other hand, Jenny wasn’t bothered about things like that. She turned to look at him. “What do
you need?”
“Nothing, really.” Derrick smiled awkwardly, not daring to look into Jenny’s eyes. “I haven’t come to
Parrington for several years, and I feel that this place has changed a lot. I’m no longer familiar with this
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcity.”
Jenny thought to herself, “So?”
“Do you have time tomorrow? Can you show me around Parrington?” In the end, he endured his
embarrassment and asked her out.
He’d been busy working over the years, so he’d always been single. Because of his own high.
requirements for his other half, he felt that the people introduced by his family were not worthy of him.
Now that he had met such an outstanding person, he didn’t want to miss his chance with her.
He felt that although he wasn’t as good as Jenny, he was still not too shabby. After all, he worked in
Bardoff Hospital, which was definitely better than Jenny working in Parrington Hospital. At that moment,
he didn’t understand that Jenny chose to work in Parrington Hospital because it was her own choice
and not because she could only work there.
Jenny responded apologetically, “Sorry, I’m really busy. There are a lot of surgeries to be done in the
hospital. I don’t think I have the time to accompany you. But you can ask the other alumni. They should
also be here in Parrington; you can join them.”
She rejected his invitation, so Derrick left it at that. “Okay, that is understandable. I’ll contact you again
in a few more days.”
Two honks sounded from not far away. Jenny instinctively looked over and saw Alec getting down from
his car. Obviously, he’d been waiting there for a long time. Jenny didn’t expect he would appear. After
returning to her senses, she said, “I have to go. See you.”
“See you.” Derrick quickly nodded and watched Jenny walk toward Alec.
As the two got in the car and left his sight, Derrick felt a certain emotion in his heart he couldn’t quite
put his finger on. He just knew that it didn’t feel too good.
After so many years, he thought he had finally met someone who was on par with him and deserved
his companionship. Alas, she already had a boyfriend, or perhaps he could be her husband. With a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsigh, he decided that he needed to ask around to find out more.
Alec didn’t say a word as he drove. He was obviously not in a good mood. Jenny knew why he was
angry. She discreetly covered her mouth and smiled, not intending to explain anything. She wanted to
see how long Alec could hold it in.
It turned out that Alec couldn’t hold back for long.
“Who was that person just now?” he asked. Although he tried to pretend to be casual, his tone exposed
his actual mood.
Jenny smiled and leaned against the car window to look at Alec. “Well, he was a fellow graduate who
participated in the university’s anniversary celebration like me.”
“I see,” Alec answered sternly. His mood soured further. “You guys have a good relationship?” he
asked. It would be a sleepless night if he didn’t get a clear answer.
Jenny suppressed her laughter. “I would say we’re on okay terms. I just met him today.”
Alec was inexplicably relieved, but he still said, “I don’t think he looks like he’d just met you.”
Men knew men best, so Alec could tell what Derrick was up to.
