Elton frowned and turned around. "Jenny, I'm warning you, don't mess with her again."
Jenny laughed. "I haven't even done anything yet, and you're already this protective?"
Elton stared at her silently. "What do you really want?"
But Jenny just sauntered closer.
Her hand slowly rested on Elton's chest. "I've asked you out so many times, and you've always dodged. Just a mention of her name, and here you are, rushing over. But, Elton, pining for her is pointless. She doesn’t care about you, not even a little."
Elton grabbed Jenny's wandering hand and threw it off forcefully. "What happens between her and me is none of your business."
With that, he turned to leave.
Jenny looked visibly upset. "Elton, don’t bite the hand that feeds you. I'm not the same Jenny you could push around before. You're struggling with that Moon Bay project, aren't you? Just ask, and I can get you the government approval you need."
Elton frowned, looking at her intently.
A smug look flashed across Jenny's face.
