I waved my hand in response and turned around to leave the room. “Forget it. Mr. Fuller, if you’re so nostalgic about the good old days, feel free to look for your old friend. After all, Rebecca will be more than happy to take you in.”
I couldn’t help but spurt out some rancorous rant once we talked about Rebecca.
Fortunately, our conversation ended because Ashton didn’t respond to it.
Surprisingly, Joseph was already in the living room when I came out. It appeared that he had been waiting for quite some time.
My eyes darted from him and the wardrobe at the back. After a while, I said expressionlessly, “Have you heard everything?”
At that moment, Joseph only lowered his head but did not speak.
I was irritated when he refused to answer me at the wrong time.
As such, I crossed my arms in front of my chest and said with a stern face, “You might not want to listen to me, but I’ll make it clear anyway. Your boss and I are a family. Please don’t keep things as secrets from me as though you are wary of an outsider. Get it?”
Usually, I wasn’t naggy and wouldn’t continue to ask something that I wasn’t supposed to know. However, since Joseph always kept things from me, I couldn’t help but confront him directly.
“Got it!” Joseph replied with his head high. Besides, he was only gazing at the ceiling instead of me.
Although Joseph had answered me, I still felt that it was rather weird. Is he trying to play games with me? Could it be that he promises me now but intends to only follow Ashton’s orders as usual?
“You—”
“What Mrs. Fuller wants is what I want.”
As I wanted to threaten Joseph, Ashton suddenly came up to me. At that time, he looked gentle with his casual outfit and loose hair.
Since Joseph didn’t respond, Ashton added, “From now on, you have to tell Mrs. Fuller everything that she wants to know.
Hearing that, I felt a sense of relief and held my head high.
