When Two Winters Met (Henrietta and Yosef) novel Chapter 339

Henrietta thought for a moment, then added, “You should focus on your work. Try to get him immigrated back here as soon as possible.”

Yosef's gaze met hers, and he leaned in to press a kiss on her lips. “Alright.”

Henrietta said no more.

Later, she found herself thinking that the reason Joaquin had given her last time was definitely not related to this “immigration” matter.

So, besides this, what else made Joaquin so confident, so certain that Yosef would go easy on the Leland family?

Were Joaquin and Aster Leland banking on the fact that Yosef and Britney had dated for six months?

That was... most likely it.

She hadn't asked about it last time, and now with this new development…

In short, her mind was a mess, so she decided it was better not to ask for now.

She still hadn't told Yosef that the Leland brothers were harassing her.

What would Yosef do if he knew?

Before, he might have dealt with the Leland family forcefully.

But she had kept quiet, not wanting Yosef to misunderstand and think she was trying to use him to get back at Britney.

Now, with Britney being a key figure in this immigration incident...

Henrietta figured that even if Yosef found out the Leland brothers were harassing her, he probably... wouldn't do anything to them now.

Before, you could say it was about old feelings.

Now… Britney was untouchable.

As they neared her company building, Henrietta's phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.

Henrietta answered, but before she could speak, a woman's voice came from the other end. “Is this… is this Henrietta?”

Henrietta paused, taking a few seconds to realize who it was.

It was Sherry Bennett.

Sherry wasn't even married to Quinton Sargent yet, but she was already addressing her so familiarly that it took her a moment to register.

Perhaps she was feeling the sting of her attempt to get closer to Henrietta being rejected.

The resulting silence made Henrietta uncomfortable, and she was about to hang up.

But then Sherry spoke again. “It's okay, I can wait for you. If you're not free this Saturday, next Saturday is fine too. We can go whenever you have time.”

Sherry's persistence caught Henrietta off guard.

Her polite refusal had failed, and now she didn't know what to say.

Henrietta remained silent, and Sherry added, “I… I was really hoping for your opinion. I don't really have many friends…”

She had put it in a way that left Henrietta with no room to refuse.

Henrietta thought it over. Since it had come to this, not going would make it seem like she was deliberately avoiding something.

Like she was deliberately avoiding the fact that Quinton was getting married.

She had already decided last time that there was nothing to avoid.

Henrietta said, “Alright. Let's do this Saturday, then. I’ll rearrange my schedule so I can go with you.”
