His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 174

"Mr. Hall, shouldn't you be accompanying your girlfriend? Why are you here bothering Lily? Lily is now our company's staff member, and she doesn't work for you anymore. If I were you, Mr. Hall, I would take care of my own affairs. You best be off before you lose something valuable."

Jenny's condescending tone surprised Lily. What did she even mean by taking care of his affairs and losing something valuable?

Nathaniel was also taken aback by Jenny's sudden mockery. He did not know her, so he did not know how to react.

"Ahh! I remember now. I wanted to tell you something! " After shutting Nathaniel up, Jenny finally remembered what she had wanted to tell Lily.

Lily looked at her with curiosity. "What was it?"

When Jenny was about to share her discovery, she noticed Nathaniel was still there. She turned toward him again. "Mr. Hall, don't you have something else to attend to? We’re a little busy here, as you can see, so could you kindly leave?"

Before Nathaniel could react, Jenny added, "If there's anything important you'd like to tell us, please make an appointment at our head office. First of all, we're your competitors, and second, isn't it rude of you to

eavesdrop on our company's confidential information? II

Nathaniel was flabbergasted. When did he ever try to eavesdrop on their company's confidential information? He was just trying to talk to an old friend! Since Jenny was so forthright about disliking him, he would not continue to sit there and be insulted. After all, there was always a next time!

"I'll leave you ladies, then. Let’s get together and chat another time, Lily," he bid them farewell and stood up to leave.

Lily could only roll her eyes. 'Who said I wanted to chat? The nerve of him!'

After leaving the table, Nathaniel remembered Melanie was still not back. He hurried toward the bathrooms, but he saw her walking out slowly before he got there. Even though she was still moving carefully, she looked better than before. However, she was still slightly pale and worn out.

"Mel! Are you okay? Let’s go back and get you in bed!" Nathaniel quickly walked over and held onto her. He could not help but feel sorry as he assumed she was pale because of her morning sickness. Melanie did not put up a fight and just nodded as she let him lead her out of the restaurant.

"Can you tell me now?" Lily said to Jenny as their eyes finally left the couple.

Lily had wanted to ask Jenny what she wanted to share, but Nathaniel and Melanie drew her attention until they left. She shook her head slightly as she shifted her focus back to Jenny.

"Haha," Jenny laughed slightly as she took a sip of her lemon water, "Guess what I saw in the bathroom just now?"

Lily could only stare at her. She was getting to know a whole new Jenny. This lady, who was serious, efficient, and sometimes bossy at work, was just like any other woman when it came to spreading gossip.
