Angeline looked at Zayne, hoping that he would say some words of comfort to Josephine, but he merely looked down on his plate of food. Nobody could see the expression on his face.
Angeline continued, "Josephine, if you don't go back t o Tourmaline Estate, where else could you go?"
"I'll rent a room and look for a job," Josephine replied.
Once upon a time, she was the carefree young lady of the Ares family. Now, she had to live her life like a commoner. How tragic was that?
"Sigh. If you look for a job, you're gonna have to start from the bottom of the hierarchy of the corporate ladder. Those higher up bosses only seek to keep control of their powers and love to order newbies around like slaves. You'd need to serve them coffee and tea and order their meals without any form of appreciation,” Angeline lamented.
Jay turned to look at Angeline with a look of pity.
"Angeline, did you do that before?"
Of course Angeline did those kinds of jobs before. Back then, she was a single mother to two children, seeking a living in a foreign country.
It was as if Josephine had matured within a night and said, "Big Sis, don't worry about me. I'll go through it
even if it's difficult."
Zayne suddenly said, "Why do you need to look for a job? Just ask your brother for help to get you one in Grand Asia."
Jay continued to eat his meal with poise as if he had not heard a word Zayne said.
Angelina deliberately made Josephine's situation as pitiful as it could be only to gain some sympathy from Zayne. He could not foil Angelina's plan.
Josephine looked at Jay who had no intentions of stepping in and dejectedly said, "Big Brother isn't responsible for taking care of me, neither could I give him more trouble."
Jay said, "It's good for you to gain some experiences.”
Zayne,
Josephine was in a foul mood and had no appetite to eat. She put down her cutleries and said to everyone else on the table, "Everyone, please continue to enjoy your lunch. I still have something to do, so I'll make a move first."
