In the past, Zoe would be exhilarated to face Jason in such close proximity. But now, she couldn't wait to get out of the place.
"You're here," Jason said quietly.
Zoe put on a pitiful look and replied cautiously, "Mr. Reed, did you call for me for any specific reason?"
Grace's expression was still confused. She did not know why Jason had made Zoe come here.
Jason smiled faintly and explained to Grace, "Sis, you still don't know about this, right? On the second night of Thanksgiving, your friend, Lina, had met Miss Stevens. She made things very difficult for your friend."
Grace was stunned for a moment, but soon she figured out the reason. That day, when they were arguing in the mall, Lina had spoken up for her. Zoe knew that Lina was her friend, so if she had met Lina, she would most likely vent her anger on her.
When Zoe heard Jason actually called Grace "Sis", her eyes had almost popped out.
And the ‘sister’ was a street sweeper, no less.
"Sis, do you want to know how she made things difficult for your friend that day?" Jason asked again.
"How... how did she make things difficult?" As she recalled the moment when Lina sacrificed herself for her, Grace's heart felt as if it had been clogged.
"Why don't we let Miss Stevens demonstrate it for us?" Jason spoke as if he was chit-chatting casually. He got up, walked to the side of the bed, and then bent down and helped Grace put on a pair of shoes.
