Nicole and Justin graduated from the same university. But because her results were not good enough, her job wasn’t very favorable. She worked as a property agent at a property agency.
Josie waited at the café below Nicole’s workplace for an hour. Her hot coffee had completely cooled down when she saw Nicole coming with her bag on her back.
“I’m so sorry to keep you waiting. I should have gone to visit you instead, but I was too busy. I just came back from a house tour with a client…” Nicole said apologetically.
She was quite pretty, but long hours of work had drowned her in fatigue. She was not in a fair condition.
Josie gestured at her to take a seat. “It’s alright. I work overtime often too. I understand.”
Nicole looked a little embarrassed as she continued, “May I know… What’s the matter?”
“Right. I heard that you are getting married to Justin soon.”
“Yes… That’s why I’m working so hard,” Nicole replied shyly.
Josie could tell that Nicole was a down-to-earth person. She was a good girl. “I hope you don’t mind me being straight with you because Justin and I are not biological siblings.”
Nicole nodded quickly. “I know. Justin told me.”
“Then I shall get straight to the point. His mother is going around collecting money for your marriage with Justin. She even wants to cut off his father’s medical expenses for it. I wouldn’t have come to you if things were not so serious.”
