Even though she didn’t say anything, Jazz got a shrewd idea and guessed, "Is it because of your brother?"
She was still silent, which made him think that she acquiesced. Jazz said immediately, "I can give you money!"
Essa asked, "Why do I need your money?"
Jazz frowned and stared at her closely. " Then why do you want his money?"
"If nothing happens, I will marry him in one month, so I will take his money for granted. There's nothing going on between you and me."
Jazz was in a bad mood when he heard what she said. Essa looked at the time and
said, "It's time to go to work. I have to go now."
Leaving him behind, she walked towards the company. She was in a bad mood too because the date was completely screwed up.
When Essa went to work in the afternoon, she was anxious and absent-minded.
When she returned home in the evening, her mother asked her about her date today.
Essa did not answer truthfully. After a moment of silence, she shook her head and picked up the soup.
Originally she had some hope. But after Jazz ruined her date, she thought about it and felt that he was a busybody.
Her mother didn't say anything else. She couldn't show partiality to Winston and keep pushing Essa for Winston's sake.
After dinner and a shower, Essa lay in bed. Her phone rang at this time. She leaned over to pick it up. The call was from Jazz.
It was very late. Why was he calling?
Thinking about what he had done this noon, Essa was filled with anger and resentment, so she deliberately hung up the phone.
