Chapter 53 You Don’t Want to Be Friends with Me

Jenny got off work on time at six in the evening, which was rare.

She wanted to invite Stephanie to dinner and catch up on things with her family, but before her call made it through, a red car stopped in front of her.

The windows rolled down, and Max’s handsome face appeared in her field of vision.

“Hey, Dr. Walter. You’re probably free enough to have dinner tonight, aren’t you?” He was smiling, but Jenny could definitely sense the domineering aura on him. She couldn’t refuse.

She felt exasperated. He just couldn’t wait. The promise was only made yesterday, and he was already looking for her. It was just as well-she didn’t want to owe him for too long.

“Alright.”

“Get in.”

They went to Elcantina, a famous Mediran restaurant in Parrington.

Jenny remembered the food that Max had ordered for her last night. “You seem to be fond of spicy things.

“Yeah. What about you?” Max asked.

Because of her weak stomach, Jenny didn’t eat spicy food much. However, since she owed Max, she had to let him have his pick of food. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

“I like it,” she said, nodding.

Max smiled and said, “We have similar tastes, then. We won’t argue about what to eat in the future.”

Jenny was rendered speechless and pretended as if she had heard nothing. Once this was over, she would not entertain Max so much. She wanted to avoid getting entangled in Max’s and Alec’s drama.

In the VIP room, Max handed Jenny the menu. “Choose what you like.”

“You can place the orders. I’m not picky.” She knew little about Mediran food and had never been to this restaurant before. She didn’t know what would be good picks.

Max ordered a few dishes for them, then added a less spicy dish.

While waiting for the food, Max glanced at Jenny and said, “You still haven’t told me your name. I can’t keep calling you Dr. Walter, can I? It sounds so formal,”

“It’s Jenny,” she answered. She did not mean to conceal her name. It didn’t matter to her if anyone found

out.

“Jenny,” Max murmured. He smiled. “It sounds lovely. So that’s what I’m going to call you, then.”

Jenny hesitated. She wasn’t sure if she was comfortable with him calling her by her first name.

“To make things fair, you can call me Max.” He chuckled at Jenny, and she grimaced slightly. “Or Maxwell.

“Alright.” Jenny nodded. It was an agreement. She was still uncomfortable with it, but she couldn’t stop him from calling her Jenny.

Their food was served shortly after, and they ate in quiet.

It was at this time that Max realized she wasn’t really eating any of the food. She was only eating the

nachos.

He put down his fork and said, a little annoyed, “It seems like you don’t want to be friends with me.”

Jenny was stunned. She put down her fork and looked at him. “I…”

“You don’t like spicy food. Why didn’t you say something?” he asked.

“I’m fine. As long as you’re happy with the food,” she said.

Max’s expression shifted. He was visibly upset.

Jenny was a little annoyed by this. She just wanted to repay him for what he had done. It didn’t matter to her what she ate.

“It seems like you really don’t want to be friends with me.” His voice was chilly.

He was not a nice person to be around, especially after being rejected by Jenny so many times. His anger was creeping up on the horizon.
