“Hilda, do you know if Jared is acquainted with Ms. Sullivan? Otherwise, why would she be inquiring for him?” Maria asked Hilda, curious.
After all, Hilda had made Jared's acquaintance long ago, so Maria reckoned she might know his affairs well.
Alas, Hilda shook her head. “I don't know, but he has just gotten out of prison, so he 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 he possibly be acquainted with Josephine?
“I just hope he doesn’t run his mouth in front of her and drag us all down,” she said, fretting.
For some inexplicable reason, she 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, he grinned.
“Didn't you say you were at home?” she demanded coldly.
“Uh... I'm indeed at home! I've now considered the office my home,” he answered as a light bulb went off in his head.
“Who is Hilda Wallace?” she 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?”
