Andrea was surprised. “Why did he give you an ATM card?”
Arielle replied, “He said it was to thank me for coming here to teach him.” With a sigh, she continued, “I told him I'm not taking the money and have him keep it, but he insisted I take it.”
Hubert chuckled. “If that’s the case, then take it. With your name, it doesn't matter where you teach. They can't employ you if they don't offer you at least a five-figure salary.”
The salary Hubert was referring to was on a monthly basis.
Arielle nodded with agreement.
“That's true. I'll take it then.”
She accepted the money with a good conscience on that note.
“Mom, I have something to tell you,” she recalled meeting the detective the other day and whispered something into Andrea's ear.
“Is that true?”
Arielle nodded her head with a wide smile.
She was waiting for the detective to knock on her door. Maybe then I'll have a chance to reach Vinson via the phone. She couldn't help feeling excited at the thought.
“What are you two whispering excitedly over there? It must be good news with that happy look on your faces.” Hubert questioned, catching the two women whispering.
Arielle leaned against Andrea and winked at him playfully. “I'll have Mom tell you later at night.”
“Cheeky!” Hubert laughed as he shook his head. He returned his attention to the medical book in his hands. With no access to the internet, there was nothing better to do.
“San, do you want me and your dad to accompany you tomorrow?”
“Do you guys want to go?” Arielle couldn't selfishly decide on their behalf.
Before Andrea could reply, Hubert said, “Of course we're going. It's so boring to stay here.”
