“Zayne, was it you that got Mr. Lewis to help us collect our money from Glamorous Designs? Now that they’ve paid us, our company is back on its feet again. My dad said it was all thanks to Mr. Lewis.” Marian looked at him with hopeful eyes.
She was hoping that Zayne would be the one that contacted Tommy. Because if it really were him, then her parents would finally approve of her relationship with him. Besides that, her parents would be impressed by Zayne's relationship with a formidable figure such as Tommy.
“Mr. Lewis?” Zayne was dumbfounded. But he managed to react quickly and said, “Oh, yes. I did mention the issue to Mr. Lewis.
But I didn't expect him to deal with it with such efficiency. I'm relieved now that the money has been collected.”
“I would've never expected you to be an acquaintance of someone like Mr. Lewis! Zayne, you're incredible!” Maria threw herself into Zayne's arms as she shouted with excitement. She then kissed him and said, “My mom told me to bring you over for dinner! Let's see if my dad could still not look up to you after this!”
With happiness written all over her face, Maria held Zayne's arm as they walked toward the parking lot.
Jared, on the other hand, had just arrived home. Upon his arrival, Hannah asked anxiously, “Jared, how was your interview? Did they give you a job?”
“Mom, the interview was a success. I'm now a salesperson. The benefits aren't too bad.” Jared flashed a faint smile.
“Oh, that's great! We owe our gratitude to Maria, then. We should look for an opportunity to go thank them in person. I'm less worried now that you have a proper job.” Hannah was smiling with satisfaction.
Jared couldn't help but keep silent when he saw how happy his mother was.
“Jared, go and clean yourself up. Mr. Saunders has invited us out for dinner.” Gary was holding his phone when he walked into the house.
