Stunned by Joshua's request, Yannie stared at Joshua in disbelief. "Mr. Lynch, are you...serious?"
That morning, Luna had just told her to keep her distance from Thomas, and she refused it. All of a sudden, Joshua wanted her to get close to Thomas?
"Yes. After much consideration, you're the perfect person to do it," replied Joshua.
Joshua had seen how Yannie blatantly crossed Thomas in the morning. Thomas even took the initiative to suggest having more contact with Yannie in the future while making them promise that Yannie had to be around when he discussed business matters with Luna.
Yannie would have ample time and reason to get close to Thomas. Moreover, Thomas would loosen his guard on her because Yannie hated him. It would not cross
Thomas' mind that Yannie wanted to be close to him because of another reason.
Thus, Yannie was the best choice.
Joshua stood up and took out a black card, placing it on the coffee table. "This card has seventy-four thousand dollars in it. This is the deposit. Once it’s done, I’ll pay you another seventy-four thousand dollars. You can use the money to take care of your mother, and she doesn’t have to work as a nanny at such an old age."
Yannie bit her lip as she ogled the black card on the coffee table. Her heart started to race. 'Seventy-four thousand dollars, added with another seventy-four thousand dollars? That’s a total of one hundred fortyeight thousand dollars!’
The money was enough for her to buy a house in a nice suburb. With the remaining money, she could take care of her mother, and they would live better!
From the day she was born, they had been living in a shanty town. They did live a happy life, but their finances had always been tight. Since her mother was getting older, her body was weakening, too. Who knew what would happen in the future?
