Chapter 16: Jenny
Chapter 16: Jenny
Even the bag she carried had tiny pearls that shone sharply.
When she pushed her long hair to the side, it revealed a long gold earring hanging from her ear.
She stood stably despite wearing extremely high heels.
From the moment she appeared, all the men gazed at her with mesmerized eyes. Even the women were impressed by her style.
The waiters of the restaurant looked very happy when they saw her.
"Jenny, she came to our restaurant, is this a dream?" They wondered.
The woman Jenny looked around which is a natural response for everyone when first arriving at a place.
When her eyes happened to pass by Aldric's table, she looked very surprised.
It even made her lips that were shaped like the top of a heart open.
After a moment of surprise, she smiled slightly and then walked up to Aldric at a pace that could be said to be quite fast.
"Aldric, I didn't expect to meet here," she said, sitting directly in front of him while putting down her bag.
The scent of her perfume was strong, but it was a gentle scent, the kind that calmed the minds of those who smelled it.
Still, if a woman like this sat in front of you, it was hard to calm down for anyone.
However, Aldric was not bothered by anything like her beauty.
He was only bothered by her presence.
This woman was a young singer who had recently risen to fame. She is loved by many young people in the UK and Europe and her social media accounts have an average of over 10 million followers.
For Aldric, she is a woman he has known for a long time.
This is because she comes from the same village as him.
She only moved to the city earlier, around the time she was 12 years old and still came to the village occasionally although over time it became less frequent.
There was one issue that made the villagers unhappy with her.
She actually denied the fact that she was born and raised in the village.
Perhaps some of her rivals had investigated her past and revealed it to the public, but she refused to admit it, calling it slander and then fabricating evidence that she was born and raised in London.
To the villagers, this was practically an insult to their village although they understood that she was forced to do it for the sake of her career.
After all, she didn't really look down on the village.
At this moment, a waiter who seemed to be the leader of all waiters came to Aldric's table.
"Miss Jenny, what would you like to order?" The waiter was already in her 30s, but she was full of politeness when she talked to Jenny.
The latter casually replied, "cancel this gentleman's order, then give us the best menus!"
She only glanced at the waiter briefly while stroking her hair briefly before continuing to look at Aldric.
The waiter seemed a little disappointed that Jenny only glanced at her, but she forced a smile anyway.
"Please wait a moment," she said before stepping back and turning around.
"Why was my order canceled?" Aldric rolled his eyes at the woman.
"It's been a while since we've met and now that you're in this city, I naturally need to treat you, after all, you're my childhood friend," she said with a faint smile with her eyes not looking away from his face at all.
"I've heard that you're studying here, but I don't know which university. Please write your number here, so I can contact you."
As she continued, she asked for his number, handing her cell phone directly to him.
The people sitting at their table were probably surprised by her words, not expecting her to seem so enthusiastic about a man.
Even if they have known each other for a long time, a celebrity would not usually be like that to their acquaintances unless it was for special business.
Was it because the man was so handsome that Jenny was excited about him?
The young men became uncomfortable at the thought.
Meanwhile, Aldric took the woman's cell phone, writing his number on it.
This actually made him a bit uncomfortable, but he couldn't think of a reason to refuse.
In the end, they had indeed been very close in the past. It would seem like he was throwing her away if he didn't give her his cell phone number.
After finishing, he gave the phone back to her.
Now she could keep his contact.
Moments after saving his contact, his own cell phone beeped, receiving a message from an unknown number.
The number didn't even have a photo.
"It's my private number that only the people closest to me have," she said.
Her personal number, if this was sold to rich men, even more than 10,000 pounds would probably still be bought.
If not familiar with her from the start, Aldric would not have been able to get this number.
With her keeping a close eye, he naturally kept it in his cell phone contacts.
At this moment, the order Jenny had ordered finally came, enough that it filled the table.
The waiters who delivered the order couldn't help but continue to observe Aldric, thinking that he was indeed alluring that a woman of Jenny's caliber looked so friendly to him.
"Please eat, lady and gentleman," they said before leaving but with their eyes constantly glancing at their table.
Saying that they seemed to be dating was definitely not wrong, but it shouldn't have reached that point yet as they seemed to have met by accident and seemed to be exchanging contacts.
"You must be hungry, eat up!" Jenny also invited Aldric to start dinner.
She herself started eating, but only put a fingernail-sized piece of meat into her mouth.
Seeing her eat like that, Aldric became awkward as he began to eat.
After all, he was used to eating more, but here, he had to maintain his image.
Even if he ate as usual in front of Jenny without any problems, other people who saw him would definitely judge him badly, thinking he lacked decorum in front of a famous beautiful woman.
