Chapter 281 Suspecting She Forgot to Close the Door Before Going to Bed
The woman with bruises on her face was twisting her fingers. Jensen looked at her and chuckled. “Don’t be nervous. Since you are Kisa’s friend, you are mine, too.”
“T-Thank you, Mr. Kooper.”
“No need to be so formal. Feel free to call me Jensen,
as Kisa does.”
“Okay, Jensen,” Lea said, looking less nervous than she had just been.
Jensen scanned her with a smile. “How did you end up waitressing at the party yesterday?”
“I…” Lea tensed up again.
Kisa brought out the finished dishes and could not help but laugh at the scene. “Jensen, don’t be so serious with her. She will be scared.”
Jensen smiled helplessly. “I’m serious?”
“No, no, no, Mr. Kooper…”
“Hmm?”
“I mean Jensen.” Lea changed her tone in a panic. “Y- You are not serious at all.” She could not even speak properly because she was nervous.
Kisa brought them both over to the dining table with amusement and said to Jensen, “Lea used to take part -time jobs to supplement her income. I think a friend of hers must have introduced her to waitress at the
party yesterday.”
Lea nodded her head. “Yeah, yeah. My friend said there was a recruitment for temporary waitstaff, so I signed up for it.”
“Thanks to Lea yesterday. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had any evidence against Carolyn and Sharon.”
Lea smiled coyly. “I wasn’t of much help, mainly because I didn’t know at first that the person they were going to target was you. Otherwise, I would have warned you in advance. Good thing you are okay.”
“Lea was implicated because of this incident. So Jensen, I’m thinking of hiring her as my assistant and bringing her to stay with me.”
“Hiring her as your assistant?”
