Given that it involved Billy, she knew she had to get involved.
"Wait, he wants to buy shares in your company? Is he friends with your dad?" Josefina inquired with a raised eyebrow.
Alex sighed, "I'm not sure about their relationship. Since my father took up with that homewrecker, my sister and I have been kicked out. Our mom passed away from the stress, leaving just the two of us."
Jade spoke up, her voice crackling angrily, "I've never seen someone so shameless. Thank you for saving my brother and me today. But our troubles are too dangerous for you. You shouldn’t get tangled up in this mess. It could ruin your life."
"Jade's right, Ms. Josefina. Please, just go back to your life," Alex added. They worried Josefina might end up in harm's way if those people returned.
Josefina pondered over the fact that Billy was involved. He was now entwined in Alex's family affairs.
Could she let Billy get what he wants?
No way! Just not possible!
"Pack your bags. You’re coming with me. You can’t stay here anymore. I have a place that would be perfect for you. I'll rent it to you."
Alex and Jade exchanged a look, hesitating.
"I'm helping you for two reasons," Josefina stated firmly. "First, as the boss, I am responsible for ensuring my employee’s safety. And second, I've got a score to settle with Billy. The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
Her words were reasoned and compelling. After a brief discussion, Alex and Jade gathered some belongings and followed Josefina.
Upon arriving at the house Josefina had mentioned, they were stunned. "Ms. Josefina, this place doesn't look cheap," Alex muttered.
