She was still using her old phone number on a new phone, so none of her contacts were saved on her new phone. However, only those who knew her in person would call her.
Without hesitation, Arielle answered the call. “Hello? Who is this?”
“Boss, when are you coming back? If l hadn’t seen your photo on social media, I wouldn‘t have known you were back!”
Recognizing Jared’s voice, Arielle chuckled lightly and replied, “I just came back and didn’t get to tell you guys yet.”
After a pause, she asked, “How is life at Maxwell University? Can you keep up?”
Jared turned solemn the moment she mentioned their studies. They had Arielle to thank for being accepted into the university. If she hadn’t tutored them, they wouldn’t have made it and studied there.
“We’re doing well, so don’t worry.”
“Good. When you come back, I shall treat you to a meal.” Arielle’s lips curved when she heard how confident Jared sounded.
Jared actually wanted to ask about his sister-in-law, but he had no idea how to start the topic.
He only parted his lips hesitantly after a while to ask, “Boss, what kind of person is my sister-in-law? Is she nice?”
“Why? Are you afraid Harvey’s wife is hard to get along with?” Arielle joked.
On the other end of the line, Jared ran a hand through his hair meekly. Indeed, that was his very concern.
Jared, Harvey, and their grandfather were the only ones left in their family. The three of them lived together over the years.
If Harvey gets a difficult spouse, I can move out and live by myself but Grandpa…
“Don’t worry. Your sister-in-law is a graceful, generous, and adorable woman. She will certainly get along with you. You should trust Harvey,” Arielle assured him after realizing that he was truly worried.
Jared finally heaved a sigh of relief.
A few days ago, he contacted Harvey and was told that his brother would be back a few days later. As it coincided with his holiday, he could take the chance to head back home to meet his sister-in-law and nephew.
After they chatted for some time, Arielle asked about Trisha.
