After a while, Tessa left the mansion. The moment she stepped outside, Josephine and Lizbeth stared at Jared strangely.
Nervous, Jared asked, “What are the both of you looking at?”
“Is she in love with you? Why else would a superstar come personally to deliver something? I bet she's having a concert in a small town like
Horington because of you. She’s both pretty and very talented. Aren't you attracted to her?” Josephine questioned Jared with a menacing glare.
“I don't know if she likes me or not but I don't like her at all. I've already told you that I'm a loyal person but it’s your choice if you don't want to believe me. I'm going to cultivate in the next few days and I don't wish to be interrupted.”
Jared pretended to be angry and went back to his bedroom.
Josephine was startled because Jared was suddenly the one taking control of the situation. Oh no, what have I done?
“Am I too much, Lizbeth?”
Uncertain whether she crossed the line, Josephine whispered to Lizbeth.
Lizbeth was unsure too. “I don't know, but I think he's really angry. Trust is important in a relationship. If you show that you don't trust him, it's only natural that he feels upset...”
“What shall I do then?” Josephine asked as she panicked.
“Just wait and see. I think he'll probably forget about it in a few days.”
Inexperienced, Lizbeth could only suggest for Josephine to wait.
Jared heaved a sigh of relief once he went back to his room. If he didn't use that method, Josephine would have interrogated him even longer.
