"Wow, you're so kind, Ms. Rivera!" Jessie smiled, throwing in some flattery.
Hesper smiled then remembered something. "One more thing."
"What?"
"You mentioned there was something you wanted to tell me when we met."
"Yes…" Jessie uncharacteristically became quiet. She pressed her fingers together and looked at Hesper with eager eyes. "Can I not tell you yet?"
Hesper sighed. "Tell me if you want to, or don't. But if you come across any problem that you can't solve, come to me."
"Alright!"
Jessie smiled. However, when Hesper lowered her eyes, her smile faded and was replaced by worry.

Renee soon got news about Jean Yates. They were completely off the mark.
"He works with Carter Wilson?" Hesper frowned as she read what Renee sent over.
The document had a clear timeline that showed that Jean used to work for Nathaniel, but then he raked up a huge debt and went to Genecity, where Carter cleared his debt for him and took him under his wing.
