2146 Side Story: Chairman Jenny’s Grand Plan

In Nassau County, New York, the former phone company headquarters no longer had the huge silver Titanium company sign.

The company employees, visitors and clients who used to bustle around the building every day were gone.

Apart from the security guards and some miscellaneous personnel, the place was now filled with researchers who rarely went out.

When Jenny bought the ten-story building, it had already been over 20 years old.

Now that over a decade had passed, it looked even older.

However, there were lush plants scattered everywhere inside the complex.

Compared with the bustle and noise of the past, there was a sense of tranquility.

The top floor of the building was Jenny’s daily residence in New York.

Except for the exquisite botanical garden on the top of the building, everything else was basically the same as when she first came to New York.

The young lady was a nostalgic person.

Her living room in the penthouse was similar to the small ‘mansion’ in Beverly Hills in Los Angeles, where she had first met Luke.

It had nothing to do with love at first sight, but Luke would tease the female chairman about it every now and then.

For example, a certain retired detective would cuff a certain female suspect and search her for contraband – this sort of ‘criminal roleplay’ hadn’t happened just once or twice.

Over the past decade, Jenny had gone from newbie to nouveau riche to bigshot to ‘royalty.’

From showing off in front of the world at the very beginning, to separating herself from most specific matters and controlling hundreds of small companies from behind the scenes, her days were very fulfilling.

At that moment, the chairman of the board was lying lazily on a large mat in front of the French balcony windows.

A tablet was playing economic news via a projection in front of her, and the news anchor was going through recent increases in tech stocks in America.

Jenny’s attention was no longer on the news.

It was a summer afternoon, and there were white clouds outside the balcony. The chirping of cicadas and birds amidst the red flowers and green trees mixed with the familiar professional news jargon.

The chairman gradually fell asleep.

After an unknown period of time, she smelled the fragrance of coffee, and her heart jumped. Only then did she feel herself being wrapped in an embrace.

Jenny didn’t need to open her eyes to know who it was.

Of course, it was impossible for anyone else to get past Angel.

She didn’t open her eyes or say anything. She simply lounged lazily and leaned even closer to Luke as she hummed softly.

After waking up from her afternoon nap, the chairman of the board was limp and didn’t want to move at all.

Thankfully, Luke had keen hearing and was a psychology expert; Jenny wasn’t worried that he would misunderstand.

Looking at this young lady who was as delicate as a Barbie doll, Luke couldn’t help but find it funny.

Back then, this person would nag him about the company’s development and future plans even when they were sleeping at night, let alone take a nap. Now, she had actually started to slack off.

But it was already early May 2019, almost a year after Thanos’s attack.

Two months after the attack, Luke and Selina had boarded a spaceship bound for the lawless planet to bring their families back to Earth after they were transported there via Space 2 before the battle with Thanos.

After that, he and Selina took half a year off and spent it at the ranch villa in Shackelford, and only started moving again recently.

During this period of time, in order to study his main body with all his stats intact, he hadn’t activated his clones again.

Without his clones to help multitask, he didn’t have enough time to spare.

Thus, Jenny had only met him a few times in the past year, and the long annual break they had agreed upon had been accumulating.

Thankfully, after returning to New York, Luke finished studying his complete form, and his clones were activated again.

With the three clones in charge of research and miscellaneous tasks, Luke could at least appear idle on the surface.

Fortunately, the chairman of the board had been busy with her career all these years, and she had a year’s worth of leave. She made up for it a few times, and didn’t bother Luke.

But today, it was already the afternoon, and she was still in her silk pajamas. She didn’t even bother to change into home clothes.

It had been more than three months since they last met. The chairman of the board had a lot of work to do, and needed a big push before she could get back to work.

Luke simply loosened his grip and considerately used the gentlest massage technique with a weak infusion of Light of Life to slowly restore Jenny’s body to its peak state.

The chairman of the board was clearly very satisfied with his massage skills. She switched from lying on her side to lying on her front so that she could relax even more quickly.

They didn’t speak. Jenny didn’t even open her eyes as Luke massaged her tense leg and butt muscles.

It wasn’t until she fell asleep that Luke stopped.

With a sweep of his Telekinesis, he sent the chairman’s sweat into a trashcan in the distance. Only then did he wrap his arms around her and pull the blanket over her.

Now that his clones had been reactivated, sleeping with the chairman wouldn’t delay his work at all.

It was just that the Level 1 clone was in hibernation for the time being, so Luke’s mental processes were divided among the other three clones, which could satisfy the psychological needs of his girlfriends.

No wonder some people said that cloning was a necessary skill for many novel protagonists.

After a soul-deep massage, Jenny slept soundly in the afternoon.

It wasn’t until the sun was setting in the west and the orange light created blazing clouds in the sky that she slowly woke up.

Familiar hands gripped her in key places. The muscles on her back felt good, and she sighed comfortably. He had been so considerate to her since the very beginning – how could she bear to ditch him?

Angel, that musclebrain, didn’t understand this sort of wonder at all! Jenny secretly turned her nose up at her bodyguard and half-best friend. She turned slightly and looked behind her.

Unsurprisingly, Luke’s grayish-blue eyes were fixed on her.

Jenny smiled. “Hi, long time no see.”

Luke smiled back. “Hm, long time no see.”

As they spoke, their heads pressed together again.

After a long while, Jenny said vaguely, “Luke, I’m… a little… hungry.”

Luke hummed and said, “That’s right. You fell asleep so quickly you didn’t eat the takeaway lunch I brought.”

Jenny said, “Get lost, I don’t want your takeaway; I want chicken.”

Luke said, “Okay. Roast chicken alright?”

Jenny said, “I want you to feed me.”

Luke said, “No problem.”
