George racked his brain and finally came up with a plausible explanation, "They must've been green-eyed over Miss Josefina's beauty, got into a brawl trying to show off their skills to impress her. Guess they got a little too carried away and lost their grip on the situation."
Oliver couldn't help but give George a second look. The guy had some serious chops when it came to quick thinking. Not bad, the excuse would do.
"Your salary gets doubled this month."
George bowed excitedly, "Thank you, sir! Here's hoping you tie the knot with Ms. Josefina soon and have a couple of babies soon."
"Sir, the tech guy I contacted said he would be here by Saturday at three in the afternoon. He'd rather work alone, though—he mentioned he's got a bit of social anxiety."
"Alright, take care of the arrangements."
George nodded and stepped out to handle the business at hand.
...
After a refreshing shower and a nap, Josefina scrolled through her phone and stumbled across some news.
Billy's company had made a miraculous comeback with their new fashion line.
Billy's family had a thriving clothing business, and with Josefina's help, it had been more successful than ever, raking in quite a profit. After Josefina left, partners started backing out, and without a top-notch designer like her, Billy was as frantic as an ant on a hot skillet.
But now, their latest designs were a hit with the consumers, sending sales through the roof. And those designs looked all too familiar to Josefina. She was the mastermind behind those designs for the Antonio family.
Meanwhile, at the Antonio residence.
Ruby sat on the couch as Billy looked at her with adoring, indulgent eyes, "My dear Ruby, you're the lucky charm of our household."
