Lie Flat, Sugar Daddy
Chapter 36: He Was Obviously Using You!

Jensen nodded.

He looked at the glass in front of him, as if he was watching the night view, but in fact he had been watching the reflections inside of it. The glass reflected a vague scene behind him, where there was a man and a woman hiding behind a chair sneakily looking towards his direction. The two of them even made secret conversations occasionally, they had no idea at all that they were already exposed. Karina's hands clenched onto the sides of her clothes on instinct, as her heart sunk in an instant. She had never tried what it felt to lose something, since she was young her family had adored her very much. It was always the case that she did not want something, but she had never failed to get anything she wanted. This was the first time that she failed to get something she wanted, and it was in fact an uncomfortable feeling. Yet she had always thought that she was indifferent, but actually, it was just that she had never met with anything she desperately wanted.

"Miss Clark, please tell your father when you go back, ask him to stop having his eyes on the James Group Building. You can have your birthday party anywhere, and you don't have to take what others have already fancied. Further, it would be best that you reconsider who to invite as your guests, or I'm afraid that at that moment the innocent guests would be in dilemma." Jensen's tone was light, from the beginning until the end he had never looked at the person beside him, as his eyes kept locking on the reflection in the glass. In fact, he had never wanted to say this to Karina in the first place, but seeing her like this, Jensen felt that it might be the right thing to say it.

Now his invitations have yet to be sent out, when both the Knight family and the Clark family invited them at the same time to attend different birthday parties, those people would surely be in dilemma. Karina heard these words, and she felt so uneasy that even breathing became difficult.

She had never encountered this sort of defeat before.

Who would dislike her?

Even Matriarch Knight, the most difficult person in the Knight family, cared for her so closely now, but no only that Jensen did not like her, why had he given her such a cruel suggestion? Karina's voice carried a few whimpers. She looked at the man who was so close to her yet feeling so distant, feeling that he was humiliating herself, "You can dislike me, but Jensen, don't you think that this sort of request is too cruel to me?" Karina suddenly thought of what she had heard of before, that the topmost level of the James Group Building would be closed for a few days every year. To the outsiders they had explained that it was for checking and maintenance purposes, but in fact it was emptied for the birthday celebration for a woman with the surname of Jordan.

When Karina heard of this news before, she did not even think of Rae, as the surname of Jordan was not uncommon. Even when Jensen had kissed Rae once just now, she had not thought of Rae. Perhaps she had silently concluded that Jensen would not have fell for that imprudent woman, Rae, and it was just a casual fling at most. Since not only did Rae speak vulgarly, but she even took photos in an exhibition, how low could she be to do this sort of thing? In the exhibition hall, Jensen and her had even...

Karina knew that Jensen did not get bitten by a bug at all, but was bitten by Rae!

Once she thought about Rae was even able to do so in that kind of place where people come and go... She did not expect her to be such a tart.

But now, as she heard vividly what Jensen had personally wanted her to do, Karina was quite confirmed. This Miss Jordan, was always Rae Jordan.

As she recalled that when she was at Rae's company, when she pretended that she had not knew herself and she had praised her genuinely, Karina felt that she was played like a fool! Anger and jealousy were mixed together in her heart simultaneously, and making her feel uncomfortable. She wanted badly to replace Rae for an explanation, but she was taught since she was young to understand that unreasonable people would only be loathed by others. Especially for women, men only liked women who were obedient.

Thinking of this, Karina took in a few deep breaths, forcing herself to calm down.

"I don't want to know if it's cruel towards you. But if you don't convey what I have said to your father, I'm afraid that I would have to take my own methods, and that would be less easy." Although he planned to allow Zain to continue messing around, but it did not mean that he would not take revenge later on.

"Jensen, you..." Karina did not expect that Jensen would actually plan to offend her father for Rae?! Jensen did not want to continue this meaningless conversation, as he stood up, planning to leave.

"Jensen..." Karina called out to him, looking at his tall figure from the back and showing a pitiful expression, as she asked persistently. "If I can do what you said, can you, can you give me a chance and date me seriously?"

Jensen did not expect that Karina would give up so fast, and it had really confirmed what he had thought in the beginning, as he felt joyful but sorry at the same time. He was joyful because this trouble could be solved easily, but sorry for that Zain, a smart business man, yet had raised such a silly daughter. At this thought, Jensen replied ambiguously, "Perhaps."

Just for this little hope, Karina went home and discussed with her father about this that very night.

In the mansion that was decorated in a European style, Zain stood before a floor-to-ceiling window, with his entire face filling with an icy expression.

"Dad, please do as I said, alright? I don't want to hold my party at the topmost level of that building. Didn't you just buy a large cruise ship? Can we have it there? I've never had one on a cruise ship. Further, didn't you say that for this actual birthday you would invite the ones from the mafia? What if we do it according to the original plan? I don't feel good about you mixing it up like this, let's not invite your business partners this time." Karina saw that Zain was angry and felt anxious inside. She was afraid that Zain would disagree, and she would lose the chance of a serious date with Jensen.

This was promised to her by Jensen, she believed that Jensen would do it, he surely would.

Seeing that Karina reminded him once again, Zain was so angry that his forehead creased deeply. He turned and looked at Karina, her reddened eyes showed obviously that she had cried. Yet this girl kept denying it, saying that something had went into her eyes. Once she came back the first thing she did was to ask him to let go of that place, the topmost level of the James Group Building, and even give up sending out the invitations to the people in the business field. He was sure that it was Jensen who flawed all his plan behind!

Or else how was it possible that Karina mentioned this out of nowhere?

This Jensen, no wonder he kept silent about the incident of his continued disturbance of the James Group Building, he was actually planning to start on his daughter?

To use a woman that liked him to do things for himself, what kind of man he was!

"This is the last time that I ask you, did Jensen tell you all this? If you tell lies again, I'll punish you by locking you up!" Zain was furious.

Karina was very obedient since she was young. To her, the most serious punishment would surely be being locked up in the small dark room to repent. Thus, hearing this, she was instantly afraid. Karina shrunk her neck, "Yes, dad, but Jensen..."

"Oh Jensen!" Zain was so angry that he began to laugh, and with one fling of his arm he hurled a priceless vase on the side to the floor and broke it! But seeing Karina who was being used by Jensen but was still helping him, he felt even more frustrated as he got even pissed off, scolding furiously, "Can you have even the slightest bit of brains? He is obviously using you now to get rid of his trouble, which is me, yet you're still defending for him like a fool?!"

Can she have the slightest bit of brains, like a fool...

Karina looked at her father who was taking his anger out on her and she took a step back on instinct. She was been excellent since she was young, and also because she was a girl, her family had always adored her greatly. Especially her father who kept calling her my dear, no matter how bad tempered he was in front of others, he would always be smiling when he faced her.

But now, her father was actually scolding her furiously, describing her as brainless and a fool!

Karina was already feeling glum inside, being scolded by Zain like this she could not even hold it in, as she cried in an instant. "Yes, I am, but what choice do I have? Dad, I rarely meet someone that I would fal for, and I want to try hard to fight for it. Jensen said that if I can do it, he would promise to date me seriously for once. Dad, I'm begging you... please help me this time. What if after being together with me seriously for a while, he would really fall for me?"

"I want to help, but Jensen is obviously playing you! My foolish daughter, do you think he would really agree to be with you? He has someone he loves, the reason why he held that topmost floor and refused to lend it to me was because he wanted to hold a party there for that woman! What he said cannot be trusted!" Zain thought that Karina did not know, so he exposed all of it!

"I know, I know about all of it... But dad, I'm begging you, please agree with me for once? I've never begged you for anything since I was young. Whatever you wanted me to learn I'll learn it, wherever you wanted me to go study I'll go, and when you prohibited me from being in a relationship, never did I hold a boy's hand. But now I meet a person that I love, could you please just allow me to be reckless for once?" Karina clutched on Zain's arm and swung it.

"Why are you so fool?" Zain's head was aching, he did not expect that merely after a few meetings, Karina would seem to be enchanted.

Besides a good face and wealth, he was a man that could let go of his bottom line for his aim. What good did he have even?

"I don't know..." Karina lowered her head. She admitted that Jensen's excellence had made him shine brighter, like a star on stage, being admired by a bunch of people always for no reason. But the most important thing was, which Karina admitted, was because of Rae's existence which kickstarted the possessiveness inside of her! Once she thought that even Rae, that lowly and cheap woman could have Jensen, then why could she not get him? She was obviously better by a thousand times over, and in no aspect that she would lose against Rae!

It looked as if the words in books were correct, that the only thing that could kickstart a woman's will to fight was a woman that was more beautiful than herself!

"Since Jensen was doing things so lowly, he better doesn't blame me for exposing this to the Knight family!" Zain hissed.

It was always him who uses others, but now another person was actually using his dear daughter...

Well!

"Don't, dad, don't. Promise me first... if Jensen really went against his word, then we'll talk about it later, alright?" Karina was afraid that her father would be reckless and she hurriedly convinced him. If she had made things so difficult in an instant, Jensen would only hate her. She wanted to win Jensen's heart, only in this way could she took the revenge on what Rae had done secretly to her.

"Whatever floats your boat!" Zain waved his hand, replying impatiently and went upstairs.

"Thanks dad." Karina saw that her father had agreed and a smile appeared on her face instantly, feeling like she saw some hope.
