Jenny’s face turned pale, almost ghostly.
Henry just laughed, loud and cocky, like he owned the world.
Keith, his ever-eager sidekick, leaned toward Jenny and gave her a not-so-subtle reminder. “You should really get Mr. Ragain’s number. Don’t miss your chance. Seriously, getting noticed by him is like the luck of a lifetime.”
Girls in the company would line up just for a glance from Henry, but he never gave them a second thought.
“No, I… I really do have a boyfriend.” Jenny’s words tumbled out in a panic. She had only just started at the front desk, and already Henry, with his devil-may-care attitude, had noticed her. Tears pricked in her eyes. She felt trapped.
Henry watched her struggle, eyes gleaming with amusement. “Two hundred thousand. Just spend a few days with me,” he said, voice low and teasing.
Jenny had that kind of beauty no makeup could fake. Even in her plain receptionist uniform, her figure stood out, and there was this innocent vibe about her that drew people in. Men like Henry always wanted what they couldn’t have. Most girls in the office would give anything for his attention, but Jenny’s refusal was like a challenge.
“Mr. Ragain, please, just leave me alone. I really don’t want to,” Jenny begged, her voice breaking as her eyes filled with tears.
Henry gave a cold little laugh. “If you really don’t want to...”
For a moment, hope flickered in Jenny’s eyes.
“Just quit. Leave the company. Don’t ever let me see you again. If you change your mind, you know where to find me. I’ll be waiting in my office.”
As he walked away, Henry blew her a kiss, grinning with shameless confidence.
Keith hurried after him into the elevator. He was all smiles, trying to please. “Mr. Ragain, don’t worry. Anyone you want, you get. That’s how it’s always been.”
Henry’s mouth twisted into a sly smile. “Book a room tonight, same place as usual. I want to have some fun with that girl.”
“You got it.”
