Realizing that Yasmin was picking on him, Jared looked on helplessly and didn't know how to answer her.
“Yasmin, who's a kept man? Does kept man still exist in this society?”
At that moment, a handsome man who was one point eight meters tall walked in.
“Zeke, you're finally here! Why are you always late?” Frida said in a piping voice when she saw the man.
“I was held up by a business meeting. As usual, it will be my treat to make up for it. So please, go ahead and order whatever you want,” Zeke replied with a smile as he checked out Josephine.
“This is my cousin, Josephine, and this is her boyfriend, Jared,” Frida introduced them both to Zeke.
“Hi, I'm Zeke Griffin. Yasmin's boyfriend.”
Zeke extended his hand in a chivalrous manner to both of them.
Meanwhile, Frida vacated her seat so that Zeke could sit with Yasmin.
“What are you chatting about to even broach the topic of a kept man?” Zeke asked Yasmin after settling down.
“It was just a casual remark. My cousin, who is the daughter of the richest man in Horington, found a loafer for a boyfriend.
She even bought his clothes. If this isn't the definition of a kept man, what is?”
Yasmin sighed in disappointment.
Jared grimaced. Even though Yasmin's comments were well-intentioned on Josephine's account, her incessant attacks infuriated him.
Sensing the change in Jared's mood, Zeke said to Yasmin, “Not necessarily. It doesn't matter if they come from different backgrounds. In fact, Jared seems like someone pretty capable to me. As long as he works hard, he will achieve success too. We shouldn't look down upon others.”
