Lie Flat, Sugar Daddy novel Chapter 41

"Those people can do anything when they get angry. I don't want anything to happen to you. Promise them. I can give you this part. You don't need to curry favor with me." With that, Jensen sucked her earlobe meaningfully.

Rae got it and felt moved. Jensen made a compromise so easily because he worried about her. She cracked the egg shell and put the egg, vegetable and onions into the pot. She replied, "I am not as weak as before. If they dare to kidnap me and send me to the nightclub again, I'll have them skinned!"

"Don't be joking. I am serious. Promise them." He didn't want her to act tough. They could kill her without swords.

He didn't want to say anything more. After that, he turned around and left.

Rae looked back at Jensen with her lips pursed. Though Jensen persuaded her to make a compromise, she didn't agree. If she did, that group of people would push their luck. She knew Jensen just wanted her to be safe and sound, so he compromised. She didn’t want to burden him anymore.

She turned off the fire and went out with the dish.

After they finished a meal, she went into her room, changed her clothes, and set out together.

When Rae returned to the company, the secretary immediately reported to her, " Miss Jordan, Miss Clark has been waiting for you in your office."

Karina came here?

Rae paused for a moment. For what? Break off their cooperation or quarrel? If she came to quarrel, Would Karina talk to her calmly, pretend to be bullied or abuse her arrogantly?

Rae didn't think it twice. Karina saw Rae through the window and nodded at Rae. Rae walked into the room. Rae wanted to put down her bag when she saw a new contract on the desk. It seemed that Karina was to break off their cooperation.

According to the contract, if Karina broke off their cooperation for no reason, she couldn't get any refunds and even had to compensate for Rae's losses. But it was not all Karina's fault… Rae picked up the contract and passed it to Karina without reading it. "Forget about the cooperation. You don't have to compensate. I will give the refunds to your account."

Karina laughed.

Rae was stunned.

"You will suffer losses without reading it." Karina laughed and gave the contract to Rae.

Rae was confused. She put down her bag and found that Karina wanted her to take charge of the publicity of all stars in Karina's studio.

"I have recruited more entertainers. People always comes and leaves, right? I feel it troublesome to sign contracts with you one by one if I recruit more employees. Therefore, it's better for you to be solely responsible for the publicity work. The fee is on the back. If you think it inappropriate, we can negotiate about it." Karina finished speaking, pointed at the contract and signaled Rae to read the content.

"You…" Was she wrong about Karina again?

She shouldn't have thought that Karina was very mean?

Karina was very generous?

"I can separate personal things from official business. My entertainers got more public attention after you were in charge of the publicity work. I appreciate your capability. I won’t say no to the development of my business just for personnel things." Karina said sincerely.

Rae nodded without saying more. She put down the contract.

"By the way, my father said that Jensen wanted to take all the goods from the largest arms manufacturer in Southeast Asia. The competing companies are discontent with Jensen." Karina said and smiled, "Jensen is so ambitious. This sale can bring huge profits, but he doesn't plan to share the spoils with others."

"Miss Clark, you can put it bluntly." Rae realized that Karina was implying something. Rae was willing to listen to Karina because of her sincere attitude. Moreover, Rae was interested. Jensen had told Rae about that, but Rae didn't expect it to be so serious. Without doubt, Jensen had a lot of enemies by doing so.

"However capable Jensen is, he can get better results with the help of my father… Miss Jordan, with my father's help, Jensen will be safe." Karina said to the point without aggression.

"How can your father help Jensen?" With that said, Rae conjectured, "You want me to leave Jensen?"

"That’s not what I mean. Miss Jordan, you just need to keep away from Jensen on my birthday. Ask Jensen not to stand opposite my father. My father agreed to change the place, but Jensen even required my father to stop inviting some guests. Perhaps Jensen is afraid that few people will come to your party. My father is very angry. You can consider it. I don't mean to be against you. I just don't want to see Jensen get hurt." Karina said.

Rae felt Karina's proposal was not bad. She glanced at Karina. She used to think a rich girl like Karina would overreact when facing difficulties. Rae didn't expect Karina could not only calm down for cooperation, but put forward a proposal that didn't embarrass her. Rae appreciated, "You are sensible."

Rae disliked woman who just blamed others no matter what happened. Rae couldn't understand why some woman only blamed the mistress instead of her husband when she found her husband had an affair. But Rae felt quite good that Karina didn't blame her.

The point was, Karina had no qualifications to abuse her. After all, they were not engaged.

"I'm timid." Karina mocked herself, so she dared not play tricks. She was afraid Jensen would be angry about her if he knew.

…

In the evening.

Over a party.

Jensen had told Rae that he wouldn't go home for dinner. He was standing on the terrace and smoking a special hand-rolled cigarette with a calm look. There were a lot of unnecessary social activities. Jensen had to attend some. Jensen didn't know why tonight's party was held. Anyone, it was important to maintain contacts with different people.

When Jensen finished smoking one and want to light a second cigarette. He saw Zain, Karina's father came in.

Zain put on an ingratiating smile and didn't look like a serious man.

Zain was not surprised when he saw Jensen. He didn't greet Jensen but walked over to him and said to him, "Young man, it's important to achieve the purpose. But if the means are morally wrong, you'll pay the price sooner or later." Zain still remembered the night that Karina begged him while crying. He felt sad at the thought of his daughter's stupid decision.

"Is the cruise ready?" Jensen didn't reply to Zain and said something else to enrage Zain.

Zain put on a serious look, "Jensen, aren't you afraid that I'll tell your family about that? If I did, you would get into trouble. Moreover, you have so many enemies now. Someone would like to pay a high price for your right hand. Is it worthy to be against with me for a woman?"

Jensen nodded and said casually, "Yes."

He looked quite indifferent.

"You're hopeless!" Zain hated such an attitude.

Zain felt sympathetic to Stefan, since he had a son who was infatuated with a woman.

"The fire caused by burned wiring has spread to the stage. There was a fire on the scene. Please follow me for safety." The female staff suddenly appeared at the door and spoke to them hurriedly. It seemed that the situation was serious.

A fire.

Jensen heard it and stiffened his body.

Zain had walked to the door. The female staff looked at Jensen anxiously. Jensen calmed down and strode forward. When he returned to the hall, he found that the situation was much worse than he had thought. The ornate stage had been badly burned. Though the fire protection system had been set off, the effect was bad. The curtain was burning and the hall was lit up by the blaze. The air was thick with dense smoke, which obstructed the view and suffocated Jensen.

Looking at the scene, Jensen paused. He knew he should leave at once, but he couldn't move. The scene reminded him of the horrible past.

Years ago.

When Eric was still Rae's boyfriend.

A fire suddenly broke out in the building where they were. When they found something wrong, he and Eric rushed out. While Eric felt lucky that he could run out, it occurred to his mind that Rae was inside.
