"Try it out and you'll know if it's serious or not."
"Uh... it's okay then." Jason laughed dryly.
Hah, how could he want them to divorce? He would not be Lancaster's relative anymore if they got a divorce. His relatives and friends would not comply with him nor would they address him as "Mr. Frey" anymore.
He would not do something that posed no advantage t o him!
"Alright, Jason, I'm still working, that's all." Yvonne pulled her phone away from her ear.
"Wait, wait, hold up, sis!" Jason called her frantically.
"What more?"
"Sis, I won’t be going to Henry for money but you should at least give me some still. I'm treating a few clients to a meal now. Send me some money and let m e foot the bill."
Yvonne was amused despite her rage. "You don’t even have the money to foot the bill and you're treating your clients to a meal? Jason, why are you so capable?"
Hearing the taunt in her words, Jason roared in anger, "This has nothing to do with you. Send me $1,500 right now or I’ll ask mom to go to you."
Yvonne's expression stiffened.
Her mom? No way! If she came, she would definitely cause another scene!
"I don’t have $1,500.1 only have $300 left." Yvonne palmed her forehead in fatigue.
"$300?" Jason exclaimed, "Sis, are you trying to shoo off a beggar? How could $300 be enough?"
"Then figure it out yourself. I just bought a camera. I only have $300 left. Take it or leave it!" Yvonne made herself clear.
If something happened to her family or her brother, she would do her best to gather some funds for them. For trivial matters like this, she would stave it off, if not give something small as a gesture, as long as her mother did not come to pester her about it.
"Sis, what did you get a camera for?" asked Jason.
Yvonne put him on speaker and tossed her phone on the table. "For an overseas team building."
"Overseas?" Jason perked up. "Sis, which country are you going to?"
"Don't know."
"Take me along. I’ve never gone out of the country."
Yvonne furrowed her brows together. "Why am I taking you along when it's my company's team build? Alright, I’ll send you the money. That's it."
Hanging up, Yvonne transferred the remaining $300 she had in her card to Jason.
Looking at the balance notification that the bank had texted her, she laughed humorlessly. "I’m without a cent now."
Tap, tap, tap... The sound of her door being knocked came up promptly.
Yvonne looked up and went over to open the door. "M r. Woods?"
"Miss Frey, Mr. Lancaster is looking for you." Joe gave her a small smile while standing outside the door.
"Did he say what it's for?" asked Yvonne.
Joe shook his head. "Mr. Lancaster didn't elaborate.
You'll know when you go to him, Miss Frey."
"Okay, I'll be on my way now. Thank you for letting me know, Mr. Woods."
Yvonne smoothed down her business attire and headed for the CEO office next to hers.
"Mr. Lancaster, you were looking for me?" Yvonne entered.
Henry put down his pen and spoke up coldly, "Why are you here today? Your sick leave is still ongoing, isn't it?"
Having considered that she had just gone through an operation, he had specifically given her a month off work so that she could stay in the villa and recuperate.
Look at her now, she was reporting for work the next day after her discharge!
Did she even care about what he said?
"Uh..." Yvonne scratched her head, not expecting Henry to be looking for her due to this matter. "I'm fine now. It's quite boring to not do anything for the whole day too, so I might as well come to work. I've just become a secretary too, so I’ll be burdening my seniors if I don't keep up."
