Chapter 107
Rebekah felt a blush creep up her neck at the praise. “You said you’re leaving. Why p>
“The company is sending me abroad for advanced training. I probably won’t be back for a long time p>
“Can I still talk to you about design p>
“Of course p>
With the air cleared, the tension between them dissolved. Their relationship shifted from teacher and student to something more like friends. The gloom that had settled over Rebekah from the online attacks began to lift.
After saying goodbye to Basil, she was about to hail a cab back to the estate when she saw a luxury car pull up in front of a nightclub across the street. Jensen, dressed in a perfectly tailored black suit, stepped out of the passenger side.
Rebekah’s eyes widened. The car was a Maybach that cost well over seven figures. How could a gig worker like Jensen afford to ride in something like that?
As she watched, a woman got out of the driver’s seat. She was also in a black suit, with sharp black and gold stilettos and a chic, short haircut. She radiated the aura of a powerful executive and looked to be in her thirties. Together, they walked into the club.
Rebekah stared after them. Had Jensen become someone’s kept man?
Inside, the thumping music immediately grated on Jensen’s nerves. “What kind of deal requires a meeting here p>
Faye Hawthorne, however, glanced eagerly at the dance floor. If she didn’t have to babysit this little brat, she’d be out there in a heartbeat. “A very big one. This deal is extremely important to me if you screw this up, don’t blame your dear aunt for being ruthless p>
Jensen shot her a cool look. “It’s not business for *him* again, is it p>
Faye simply raised an eyebrow, not denying it. They headed for a private room on the second floor.
Rebekah hesitated for a long
moment before following them into the nightclub, worried Jensen might be in some kind of trouble. But once inside, surrounded by the flashing lights and pulsating crowd, she lost sight of him. She tried to call him, but her phone was dead.
Just as she was wondering what to do, a familiar figure appeared before her. “Rebekah? After what you did to my sister-in-law, you have the nerve to come here and party p>
It was Sienna, Rebekah looked up into her disgusted face. Dressed in leather pants and a matching jacket, with her pink hair in several tight braids Sienna looked every bit the rebellious teen. She was flanked by a few similarly styled friends, all of whom stared at Rebekah with contempt.
Rebekah had no desire to engage with her and turned to leave. She had to find Jensen. But Sienna quickly stepped in front of her, blocking her path.
“Where do you think you’re going, you bitch? Running away because you have a guilty conscience?” Sienna sneered. “First you steal my boyfriend, then you injure my sister-in-law so she can’t compete. How can someone as slutty and vile as you even exist p>
Rebekah fixed her with a cold stare. “Why don’t you use your brain for a second? I don’t even know your boyfriend. Why on earth would I want to steal him p>
“Maybe you’re just a desperate cougar who likes younger guys. Or maybe you just did it to spite me. A person like you is capable of anything p>
Rebekah sighed. It was pointless to argue. “I don’t have time for this p>
She tried to walk around Sienna, but Sienna grabbed her arm.
