Chapter 1815She was still using her old phone number on a new phone, so none of her contacts were saved on her
new phone. However, only those who knew her in person would call her.
Without hesitation, Arielle answered the call. “Hello? Who is this?”
“Boss, when are you coming back? If l hadn’t seen your photo on social media, I wouldn‘t have known
you were back!”
Recognizing Jared’s voice, Arielle chuckled lightly and replied, “I just came back and didn’t get to tell
you guys yet.”
After a pause, she asked, “How is life at Maxwell University? Can you keep up?”
Jared turned solemn the moment she mentioned their studies. They had Arielle to thank for being
accepted into the university. If she hadn’t tutored them, they wouldn’t have made it and studied there.
“We’re doing well, so don’t worry.”
“Good. When you come back, I shall treat you to a meal.” Arielle’s lips curved when she heard how
confident Jared sounded.
Jared actually wanted to ask about his sister-in-law, but he had no idea how to start the topic.
He only parted his lips hesitantly after a while to ask, “Boss, what kind of person is my sister-in-law? Is
she nice?”
“Why? Are you afraid Harvey’s wife is hard to get along with?” Arielle joked.
On the other end of the line, Jared ran a hand through his hair meekly. Indeed, that was his very
concern.novelbinJared, Harvey, and their grandfather were the only ones left in their family. The three of them lived
together over the years.
If Harvey gets a difficult spouse, I can move out and live by myself but Grandpa…
“Don’t worry. Your sister-in-law is a graceful, generous, and adorable woman. She will certainly get
along with you. You should trust Harvey,” Arielle assured him after realizing that he was truly worried.
Jared finally heaved a sigh of relief.
A few days ago, he contacted Harvey and was told that his brother would be back a few days later. As
it coincided with his holiday, he could take the chance to head back home to meet his sister-in-law and
nephew.
After they chatted for some time, Arielle asked about Trisha.
Jared stuttered when Trisha’s name was mentioned, so Arielle immediately realized something was
wrong.
She asked, “Did you get into a fight with her?”
Jared massaged his brows.
I wish we got into a fight.
“No!” Jared sounded frustrated as he explained, “One day, our friends joked that Trisha was my
girlfriend, and I refuted them firmly. She happened to overhear our exchange and stopped talking to me
ever since. I went to her, but she refused to see me. She has also ignored my calls and texts…”
Arielle couldn’t hide her surprise.
It looks like Trisha has fallen in love with Jared.When did that happen? I don’t even have an inkling.
“Jared, be honest with me. How do you feel about Trisha?” she asked.
Jared was taken aback by the sudden question.
Feelings? Aren’t we just friends?
What else should I feel? What does she mean by that?
Does she think that Trisha is in love with me just like my friends? That’s impossible. I didn’t even sense
anything!
“Boss, do you think that Trisha is in love with me?” Jared asked carefully.
“If I’m not mistaken, yes,” came Arielle’s answer.
Jared felt helpless to hear her answer.
What should I do?
I don’t want to get into a relationship for the time being.
