Chapter 75 Someone is Eyeing Jennifer
However, he didn't dwell on it too deeply. In his impression, Elena was still a pretty good person.
Seeing James not continuing the conversation, Elena felt a bit disappointed.
Elena's cooking skills were quite good, and the taste suited James's palate.
"How is it, delicious?" Elena asked as she nervously looked at James and held her breath, afraid that James wouldn't like it.
James gave a thumbs up and said, "Delicious. I didn't expect you to be so beautiful and cook so well."
Elena immediately smiled with joy and sweetness, tossing her hair to the side, her eyes forming crescents as she said, "I'm not as good as you say, James, your mouth is too sweet."
Her smile was very charming, exuding a mature and sexy aura.
James chuckled, and lowered his head to eat, but soon he noticed something was off. He raised his head and saw Elena leaning on her chin with both hands, smiling at him while not touching her chopsticks.
He said, "Ernes, why aren't you eating?"
"I'm not hungry, watching you eat is enough for me," Elena replied with a smile.
James felt a bit awkward and joked, "Elena, you didn't poison the food, did you?"
Elena burst into laughter, playing along with James, pretending to have succeeded in a cunning plan, "Yes, I poisoned the food. It's too late for you now."
James looked shocked and replied, "Ernes, I can't believe you would poison me! I thought you were so kind to invite me for a meal, but it turns out you had ulterior motives. I misjudged you! Since I'm already poisoned, I might as well eat more and die full!"
His exaggerated expression amused Elena, and she laughed heartily, her laughter infectious, causing her tight T-shirt to accentuate her curves, which captivated James.
Elena was so seductive and alluring, truly a top-notch beauty.
It's hard to understand why Ernest would divorce Elena; she was truly a gem.
"James, your acting is too exaggerated. I didn't expect you to be so amusing. You crack me up," Elena laughed heartily, genuinely happy.
James felt much lighter in mood and said, "Ernes, thank you for hosting me so well."
Elena became serious, shaking her head and saying, "No, I should thank you. If it weren't for your help last time, my situation would have been dire. Ernest, that beast, is capable of anything. James, in my eyes, you are my savior."
Her gaze was intense, and she seized the opportunity to express her feelings.
James evaded her gaze, and replied humbly, "It's not that big of a deal. I just scared off Ernest and his gang."
"Not at all," Elena said earnestly, "In that situation, most people would have run away, but only you, James, came to my rescue. Thank you so much."
Then, she took a deep breath, looked at James, and said, "James, whatever you need, make sure to come to me. Remember, any need you have, as long as it's within my power, I will fulfill it for you!"
After saying this, she straightened her posture, showcasing her perfect figure.
James was stunned. He never expected Elena to say such words. He wasn't naive and understood the implications behind her words. His heart raced a bit!
He happened to be eating and suddenly choked.
Elena quickly scooped some soup for him and said gently, "Why are you eating so fast? Drink some soup to ease it."
James drank half a bowl of soup, swallowed the food stuck in his throat, and said awkwardly, "The potato is a bit spicy, that's why I choked."
"The potato wasn't spicy," Elena said, holding back a laugh.
"Uh..." James blushed, not knowing what to say, feeling awkward.
Watching James's awkwardness, Elena found him even more handsome, and her gaze softened. She was a woman of emotions, and when she encountered a man she liked, her feelings surged fiercely and intensely.
As long as James took a slightly more proactive approach, she couldn't resist.
Unfortunately, James wasn't that kind of man, which disappointed her but also made her like him even more.
In fact, Elena wasn't shameless. Initially, she just wanted to invite James over for a meal. However, when she heard James mention of divorcing Jennifer, she immediately wanted to take more moves.
If James divorced Jennifer, he would be a single individual like her, and pursuing him wouldn't pose any moral issues.
Meanwhile, in the office of the hospital director at Lindwood City Hospital, sat a middle-aged man with a big head and ears, a face full of flesh, and small cunning eyes that hinted at his shrewdness and deceit, clearly not someone easy to deal with.
" Dennis, recently, the government has issued a stricter regulation on the pharmaceutical sector. The Health Bureau is facing some hard times, and Lindwood City Hospital would be the first target," said the middle-aged man with a big head and ears, sitting in Dennis' director's seat.
Meanwhile, Dennis was making tea and offering cigarettes in a humble posture.
Dennis quickly smiled and said, "This will require Mr. Jones's generous help! For the future profits, I have prepared half a million for Mr. Jones."
"Half a million? That's not even enough for the expenses of bribe," Mr. Jones replied.
Jonathon Jones, the full name of Mr. Jones, was the deputy director of the Health Bureau, with a power just below the level of a director.
Over the years, he had maintained a cooperative relationship with Dennis, serving as Dennis's protector. Lindwood City Hospital required a large amount of medication daily.
When these medications left the factory, they were cheap, but by the time they reached the hospital, their prices were significantly inflated, sometimes by ten times or even a thousand times!
With Jonathon's behind-the-scenes operations, the costs were reduced many times over, and Dennis profited immensely. He held Jonathon in high regard, following his every command.
Dennis gritted his teeth and said, "One million! Mr. Jones, I will transfer half a million to your account tonight."
Jonathon didn't respond immediately. Instead, he leisurely smoked, exhaling smoke on Dennis's face.
" Dennis, we've been friends for a long time. You don't need to pay one million. How about this? Tonight, I booked a luxurious private room at JG KTV. Let's sing, drink, and have a good chat about this matter. Also, invite your hospital's doctor, Jennifer. I heard she sings beautifully," his already small eyes narrowed as he spoke with a lecherous smile.
Having known Jonathon for several years, Dennis was well aware of his intentions. He was setting his sights on Jennifer.
