“Are you interviewing him now, Michelle? Stop with all the questions, and let's have dinner instead!” Yolanda hastily said to Michelle to save Hilda from the embarrassment.
Alas, Michelle remained persistent. Staring at Hilda, who wore a conflicted expression, she continued asking, “Hilda, is your boyfriend's former profession a secret? Is it something you can't say, such as him having been to prison?”
This time, she made things clear without beating around the bush any longer.
When Hilda heard that, surprise promptly crept into her features. I've never told anyone about that. How could she possibly know about it?
She then shifted her gaze to Yolanda as the latter had just learned that Jared had been to prison last night.
Yolanda, too, had surprise etched on her face. In the end, she swung her eyes to Yvonne with fury blazing in them. “Was it you who spouted that nonsense, Yvonne?”
I told her about it last night, and Michelle now knows about it, so it must have been her who spilled the beans!
“How is that spouting nonsense, Yolanda? I was just stating the facts!”
Yvonne didn't bother making excuses but admitted to it right away. That had Yolanda hopping mad, but she was also worried at the same time since Yvonne was also aware of her being an escort.
If she were to let the cat out of the bag now, I'm never going to be able to hold my head up in public!
Afraid that Yvonne would also blab about her if angered, she didn't comment further.
