Lie Flat, Sugar Daddy

Chapter 39 Hard to Control

"Jensen, I have told my father what you told me. He agreed to change the place for the birthday party.,

but he didn't promise that he won’t invite those guests. I'll talk to him again…" Karina was afraid that

she didn’t do a good job and might enrage Jensen, so she was discreet with her words.

Jensen did not notice her discretion. He held the mobile phone and turned his gaze at Rae. Rae

pretended not to care about it, but her ears moved a bit. She must be trying to eavesdrop.

She must have seen the caller ID.

"OK." Jensen replied indifferently and hung up the phone. He stretched out his hand to pinch Rae's ear

and signaled her not to eavesdrop.

In fact, he didn’t need Karina's help. By doing so, he just wanted to teach Karina's father a lesson.

Zain put pressure on him, so he tricked his daughter in return.

Jensen just lost some money, but Zain…

Zain wouldn't let someone trick his daughter without taking any measures.

Jensen sneered and put his cellphone into the pocket.

"Anything important?" After he hung up the phone, she turned around and asked inadvertently.

Seeing her like that, Jensen gritted his teeth and wanted to beat her buttocks. Since someone else was

around, he could only let her off.

Two hours later, the event was over.

Rae walked so fast that Jensen was left behind. She was in good spirits. Rae stood beside Jensen's

car, waving to him with a smile, "Hurry up!"

"Do you have to be so happy?" Jensen rolled his eyes. Lola called Rae and asked her out. Jensen

knew Lola would give Rae a necklace. She would be more excited when Rae received the necklace, he

guessed. Thinking that it was just a deal between him and Lola, Jensen felt sad for Rae. Rae was so

nice. Why couldn't others be nice with her?"

"Hurry up. My mother rarely asks me out. I don't want to be late." Rae couldn't wait to get on the car.

She had almost suffocated in the hot car, but she couldn’t wait to set off though the temperature hadn’t

fallen to a comfortable degree. She urged Jensen to start the car.

Jensen sent her to a cafe on a busy street and headed back to the company.

Rae got off the car and stepped in.

It was weekend, so it was a little crowded. She stood at the door and watched for seconds before her

mom appeared. When Rae saw her mom, she immediately walked over. Though she came earlier than

the due time, she was a little nervous and asked, "Mom, have you been waiting long?" She was

nervous partly because of the last meeting. Last time, she shouted as loud as she could to beg her

mom to stay, but failed. Today, her mom asked her out. It was really weird.

With that, Rae pulled out her chair and sat down.

"I just came here. You can order anything you want to drink." Lola kept stirring the coffee. She raised

her chin and signaled Rae to order something. Lola suddenly smelled the smell of wine and asked,

"Did you drink last night?" Lola frowned. She didn't like a woman with the smell of alcohol.

However, Rae somehow thought Lola was worrying about her. She was like a child doing something

wrong and answered nervously, "I drank some. I won't drink coffee." Rae shook her head with her

hands on the leg, looking well-behaved. She seldom met her mom, so she didn't want to waste time

waiting in line for coffee. She looked across the table at her mom. Her mom wore thick clothes in such

a hot day, even with a thin shawl. Rae asked concernedly, "Mom, are you sick?"

Lola did not expect Rae would notice it. She was a bit amazed, but didn't feel touched by Rae's

concern, "I am fine."

Rae nodded, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Well." Lola did not forget that she was here to send Rae the gift. Lola took out a small paper bag and

passed to Rae. She said coldly, "It’s your birthday gift. I’m sorry. I've accepted an invitation from the

Clark family, so I won't go to yours."

Every time Rae's birthday was held, Lola would attend it because of Jensen.

Rae was surprised by the brand. She took a fancy to a necklace before. It was the same brand. What a

coincidence.

Rae completely ignored her mother's excuse of not going to her birthday party.

Rae took out a square box from inside and opened it.

The necklace was the one that she had taken a fancy to. Instantly, her eyes twinkled with happiness. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

She trembled with excitement and pinched the thin necklace three times before she picked it up. Rae

looked up at her mother and put down the box. That necklace had a fine gloss, more because it was a

gift given by her mother.

"Mom, why do you know I like it? I've fancied it for a long time!" Rae looked at the pendant again and

again. It must be fate, she considered.

"I bought it casually." Lola took a sip of coffee and didn't understand why Rae was so excited because

of a necklace. Since she had finished her task, Lola didn't want to stay here at all. Every time she saw

Rae, Lola would think about how Jensen threatened her and how Rae's father betrayed her. Lola put

down the cup and got up, "I have something else to do. I have to leave."

"So soon?" Rae was immersed in happiness, but her mom had to leave, so she looked up at her

instantly.

"I should go." Lola said coldly.

Though Lola promised Jensen to be gentle with Rae, Rae wouldn't care about if she was gentle since

Rae was so happy to receive the necklace. Therefore, Lola thought she didn't break her word.

"Alright, mom, go ahead. Thank you for the necklace." Rae stood up and looked at her mother. She

could not figure out what her mom was thinking. Her mom invited her out to give her a birthday gift, but

why she still turned a cold shoulder on her. Rae was confused about whether her mom liked her or not,

but she didn't dare ask. She said, "Mom, you can ask me out at any time. Take good care of yourself."

Lola did not speak but left.

Rae was a little unhappy that her mom was so cold, but she beamed when she saw the necklace in her

hand. She should be content that her mom was willing to give her a necklace. Did it mean that the

tensions between them were lessened? It was a good beginning. Everything would get better. Thinking

about it, Rae put on the necklace, left the cafe, and went to Knight Group by taxi.

…

"Who is going for this negotiation? Seriously, I can't handle that tycoon from Southeast Asia. He

projects a high-wattage aura..I am not a good choice to show the strength of Knight Group." Reuben

gave in.

"Come off it, bro. You stand here. It proves that you are very powerful." Ewan supported his glasses

and said, "I'll go there. I've investigated that tycoon and I know her well. Jensen, remember to send the

file to me."

Jensen sat on the chair with a long face. When he decided to go back to the apartment to take a bath,

Ewan called him. Ewan told him that the boss in the Southeast Asia replied and wanted to talk to them,

so Jensen had to come back to the company for negotiation. Though his clothes got dry, he could still

smell the odour of sweet on it. Jensen answered impatiently, "Your baby is one month old. You have to

handle a lot of trifles, so don't involve yourself in this business. I’m in."

The point was, Jensen couldn't guarantee he could come back safely after seeing these outlaws.

Jensen didn't want Ewan's baby to see her father disabled.

Ewan understood it and said deliberately, "Thank you for considering my kid. I worry about you. If

something happened to you, what could Rae do?"

Reuben looked at Jensen. Those who did this business were making money at the risk of their lives.

Ewan had got married, become a father and experienced a full life. Even if Ewan really died in an

accident, his wife could acquire his property according to the marriage settlement.

How about Rae?

Rae's father was lying in bed as a vegetable. Her mom disliked her. Moreover, Zain would take revenge

on her for his daughter. The point was that no legal document could protect Rae's interests. If Jensen…

Rae couldn't get a penny. Jensen was so stingy, so Rae even didn't have a credit card given by him.

Accidents may happen at any time.

"I bought an island for her last time. " Jensen knew what they hinted. He didn't dare to give money to

Rae, since he was afraid that she would run away before he had an accident.

This woman was hard to control.

"Rae didn't know it?" Ewan asked.

"I asked her to copy that contract. She doesn’t understand the language. I lied to her that a client liked

the written one." Jensen said and lowered his head to sniff his clothes. He felt more disgusted. After

that, he suddenly became serious, looked at them and said, "I haven't married her, so I won't let myself

caught in an accident. I'll go there this time. next time when I go on my honeymoon, it’s your

turn."
