Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)
Chapter 421

"What's wrong? You're so distracted. Can't you at least pretend to enjoy shopping with me?" Hannah found it funny. Jenna said that she was going shopping with her, but in such a short period of time, she started to feel restless. Judging from her wandering look, it was most likely that she was thinking about her husband, Hansen!

Alas, why was this woman so useless?

"Hannah, don't creep up on me like that! You scared me." Jenna saw that it was Hannah and she couldn't help but to chide her. Being frightened by Hannah, she snapped out of her thoughts.

"Hey, it's you who was distracted. You kept looking around. I couldn't see you. So, I found you here. I was just standing over here." Hannah rolled her eyes. "Can't you be more focused? What in the world are you looking for? Is your husband coming over?"

"It's not like that." Jenna pulled Hannah to the side and asked in a low voice, "Hannah, did you just hear a woman's name, Liya, being called?"

Liya? Hannah shook her head and asked doubtfully, "I didn't hear this name at all. What's wrong?"

No? Jenna was even more perturbed. The woman's voice was loud. Although Hannah was in the fitting room, it was not far away and was even closer to the two women. Since Hannah didn't hear anything, was it really her illusion?

"Nothing." She shook her head and was no longer in the mood to resume shopping.

Anyway, Hannah was so immersed when trying on clothes. Not to mention the name of an irrelevant person, a thunder would not attract her attention either.

Hannah could see that Jenna was not in the mood. After trying a few more clothes, she finally ended the shopping trip early.

Jenna drove to the underground parking lot of Collier Manor.

By the time she returned to Collier Manor with bags of new clothes, Hansen had not come back yet.

Larry had finished preparing the meal. When she saw Jenna, she went back to Richards Manor.

Jenna was deep in thought as she sat on the sofa. If the Liya she met in the mall was the employee from Richards Group, her impression towards her would turn sour as she dared to go shopping during working hours.

Liya was usually well-behaved and knew how to

please others, especially her superiors.

As for such a subordinate, Jenna actually didn't like her much. If she put all her efforts into pleasing others, she may not perform her job well.

In addition, this newly established global network studio not only required computer expertise but also personnel with good character. It was because many trade secrets of the Richards Group were in the database. There would be potential risks if they hired an unprincipled employee.

As she thought about this, she fell asleep.

When she woke up, it was almost two o'clock.

She lifted her sleepy eyes and took a look.

The house was quiet, and Hansen had not come back.

Sitting there in a daze, she was lost in thought.

Since she started working, they came back to rest every day at noon. Why didn't he show up that day? They had an appointment.

She took out her cell phone and wanted to call Hansen. She looked at the time and was afraid that he would be sleeping soundly somewhere. After all, he had been working endlessly in the evening. She decided to give up.

After having a meal and taking a shower, she went straight back to the company.

Without Hansen pestering her, she arrived rather early.

As soon as she signed in at the front desk, she suddenly thought of something and went to the 86th floor.

The global network studio was quiet.

There was still a few minutes before work. There should be no one present yet.

Jenna didn't know what she was doing there, but she came to see if the woman named Liya had left the office that morning!

She didn't think that she would be able to meet anyone there at this time.

However, when she snuck into the computer studio, the scene she saw still surprised her.

In the computer studio, a slim figure was concentrating on work. Even when Jenna walked in and stood next to her, the person did not notice her at all.

Jenna's bright eyes blinked and she lowered her head to have a look.

Liya was indeed busy with the sales procedures chart of the Richards Group.

She tilted her head slightly, narrowed her eyes, and made a soft grunt.

"Ah, Ms. Murphy, hello." Liya was startled by Jenna's light snort. When she saw Jenna, she immediately stood up and greeted her respectfully.

"Hello." Jenna nodded and looked at Liya from the corner of her eyes. She looked tired. It seemed that she had been working the whole morning.

Jenna thought for a while and said, "Aren't you going to rest at noon?"

"It's fine, Ms. Murphy." Liya hurriedly shook her head. "My house is far from here and I can't make it back at noon. All I want is to finish the task you assigned to me as soon as possible." Liya smiled and spoke seriously. Her attitude was sincere.

"Really?" Jenna smiled and praised her. "Then, you are very dedicated. You are an excellent employee of Richards Group."

"That's what I should do." Liya blushed and she hurriedly replied in a serious manner.

"Where do you live?" Jenna looked at her serious expression and asked after thinking for a while.

"My house... My house is far away, in the northern suburbs." She answered in a low voice, and a hint of sorrow flashed across her drooping eyes.

"Oh, is anyone living with you?" She asked with concern.

"My family... There's no one left in my family. There's only me and my Dad." Liya didn't expect her to ask about her family. She told her the truth.

"Oh, how is your father?" Jenna looked around the office before resting her gaze on her face again and asked.

"My father is ill," Liya said.

"Oh, he's ill, is it serious?" Jenna was shocked, her face was full of worry and she asked out loud.

Only then did Liya feel that she had spoken too much, but she couldn't think of anything to explain at the moment. She could only shake her head with a smile and say, "It's okay, my father is fine. Ms. Murphy, please have a seat. I'll get you a glass of water."

She changed the topic and was about to fetch some water for her in a caring manner.

"It's alright. I'm going to work soon. Well, although the company has a lot of work, health is important too. Don't work overtime at noon from now on. If you have no place to go, you can take a rest in the lounge." Jenna smiled and said, "If your father's illness worsens, then you should inform the company, if you're facing any difficulties. Just let us know if you need help."

"Okay, thank you for your concern, Ms. Murphy." Hearing Jenna's caring words, Liya was delighted and smiled sweetly.

"Oh, by the way, did you leave the office this morning?" When Jenna finally went out, she turned around and looked at Liya deeply.

Jenna wanted to hear her say whether she has left the company or not.

"I..." Liya's eyes widened and she immediately shook her head. "Ms. Murphy, there was no need for our department to have to head outside this morning. Everything is fine."

"Oh, that's good." Jenna's heart sank and she smiled. "Take a seat. I'm leaving."

After she walked out of the room, Jenna didn't know what to feel.

"Goodbye, Ms. Murphy," Liya said in a friendly manner, following her to the door.

Jenna went straight back to the office.

She sat on the sofa, lost in thought.

Liya's father was ill and her family was in poor condition. This was obviously the Liya she had met in the mall. She had gone shopping at Pacific Plaza, but she denied it well. There must be something strange going on!

However, she was still working overtime at noon. What was she thinking?

If Liya had told her the truth, Jenna would treat it as if it had never happened. She would think that Liya was honest, and she might even forgive her for making a small mistake. However, she was obviously lying.

In other words, it meant that Liya was not a trustworthy person.

Regardless of her intentions, she could not continue working at the global network studio.

On the surface, Liya was respectful to her superior, was polite, and thoughtful. However, she was mysterious. Such a woman was certainly potentially hazardous to the company's future.

For the first time, Jenna felt that the establishment of the network studio was too rushed. She should have listened to Hansen and developed it step by step, instead of being in a hurry.

It was impossible for her to fire Liya due to her intuition and without any evidence. This was unreasonable. So, she could only wait and watch.

Hansen was not in the office.

If he was not in the office at noon, where did he go?

Jenna felt uneasy. She had indeed encountered some strange things. She wanted to tell Hansen about it but was worried that he wouldn't believe her.

Throughout the afternoon, Jenna was perturbed. As for Hansen, he did not return to the company at all.

"Yuri, did Mr. Richards mention where he will go today?" Sitting in the office, she felt nervous. In the end, she could not help but pick up the phone and asked the secretary at the front desk.

When Yuri heard Jenna's voice, she smiled and said, "Ms. Murphy, Mr. Richards went out early this morning. He did not tell us where he was heading."

"Is there any social engagement?" Such an answer made her more worried. Generally, social engagements were held in the evening, but it could also be at noon.

"Ms. Murphy, there are no records of any social engagement." Yuri flipped through the records in hand and quickly replied.
