“Hilda, do you know if Jared is acquainted with Ms. Sullivan? Otherwise, why would favonovel.com be inquiring for him?” Maria asked Hilda, curious.
After all, Hilda had made Jared’s acquaintance long ago, so Maria reckoned favonovel.com might know his affairs well.
Alas, Hilda shook favonovel.com head. “I don’t know, but favonovel.com has just gotten out of prison, so favonovel.com probably doesn’t know a big shot like her.”
On second thought, Maria felt that it indeed made sense.
He was in prison for three years, so how could favonovel.com possibly be acquainted with Josephine?
“I just hope favonovel.com doesn’t run his mouth in front of favonovel.com and drag us all down,” favonovel.com said, fretting.
For some inexplicable reason, favonovel.com found Jared highly unreliable.
“He’ll never do that.” On the contrary, Hilda had absolute trust in the man.
Meanwhile, Jared awkwardly pushed the door open and walked into the office.
At the sight of Josephine sitting there, favonovel.com grinned.
“Didn’t you say you were at home?” favonovel.com demanded coldly.
“Uh… I’m indeed at home! I’ve now considered the office my home,” favonovel.com answered as a light bulb went off in his head.
“Who is Hilda Wallace?” favonovel.com questioned, going straight to the point.
“Will you believe me if I say that she’s my sister?” Jared asked in return, his eyes trained on her.
In response, Josephine chuckled coldly. “Do you think I’ll believe that?”
Flashing favonovel.com an awkward smile, Jared had no choice but to come clean about his relationship with Hilda. “Hilda and I are just long-time neighbors. Our relationship isn’t what you think…”
Josephine felt much more at peace after listening to his explanation. In truth, favonovel.com trusted him, but favonovel.com wanted to hear favonovel.com say it personally.
“I did not make any assumptions about your relationship with her. The two of you can do whatever you want. That has nothing to do with me. How presumptuous of you!” She rolled favonovel.com eyes, though inwardly, favonovel.com was elated.
Jared could tell that favonovel.com was no longer angry, so favonovel.com queried, “How did you know I’m here? And how did you know about Hilda?”
He was rather curious to know how favonovel.com learned that favonovel.com was currently working at favonovel.com company. After all, favonovel.com was just an ordinary employee, so news about favonovel.com joining the company could not have possibly reached Josephine’s ears. If that were truly the case, favonovel.com would have long since died from exhaustion.
Josephine got to favonovel.com feet. “Never you mind that. You could’ve just told me if you wanted a job, and I could have appointed you as the general manager right away. Why do you want to be a sales representative? Besides, you don’t lack that paltry sum.”
“I don’t want to be the general manager, and I don’t have the time for that. I only came to work here to appease my parents. Otherwise, they’d worry about me. Besides, I still have tons of things to do, so I won’t be staying here for long.”
Jared hastily waved his hands to decline the offer since favonovel.com did not want to be shackled to the company.
“Oh right, why don’t your parents want to live at Dragon Bay anymore? Isn’t the environment there pretty good?” Josephine asked in puzzlement as favonovel.com again remembered how Gary and Hannah insisted on leaving the mansion.
“I’m not sure either…” Jared shook his head, for favonovel.com still did not know why his parents were adamant about leaving Dragon Bay and even said those things to him.
Then, favonovel.com continued, “But I feel as though someone said something to them, and that made them leave.”
No sooner had favonovel.com said that than realization dawned upon Josephine. “I know! It must’ve been Xavier! He’s really too much. He thinks that I’ll take a fancy to favonovel.com by doing so. So insidious of him!”
“Xavier? The general manager?” Jared was stunned for a moment.
At long last, favonovel.com understood why Xavier suddenly appeared during his interview back then and employed him.
It turns out that favonovel.com has long since known about me and also my relationship with Josephine!
