Chapter 44

Jenny POV:

I entered the kitchen, where Tyla still sat on the floor, her eyes red from crying. I sighed and squatted beside her, my voice firm but gentle. "Stop crying and get back to work."

Tyla's eyes widened, and she slapped her cheek. "Oh no, I forgot to tell you! He ordered food, and he specifically asked for you to serve him."

I raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "What did he order?"

Tyla relayed the order, and I quickly prepared the dishes, my hands moving with precision as I arranged the food on the trays. I took a deep breath, steadying myself before exiting the kitchen.

As I approached their table, I gently placed the food and drinks in front of them. "I'm sorry for the delay," I apologized, my voice soft.

Alex didn't respond, his piercing blue eyes fixed on me, his gaze unnerving. The woman with him began eating, oblivious to the tension. I felt a surge of anger towards her, but I pushed it aside, my expression neutral. "Enjoy your meal," I said, turning to leave.
