After a busy morning, Josie stretched and looked at the time to realize it was time for lunch. Her colleagues had gone to the canteen.

“Josie, let’s have lunch together.” Alice, Josie’s colleague, called out to her.

“Coming.” Josie hummed in response and switched off her laptop.

Right when they turned a corner, an unexpected guest showed up, which caused the smile on Josie’s face to disappear at once.

“Josie.”

Jenny’s voice was indifferent so that one couldn’t tell her emotions, but Josie knew she must be up to no good to come and find her in the office at this hour.

Josie asked Alice to go ahead first while she and Jenny went to the balcony.

“What is it?” Josie asked directly.

Jenny blurted mercilessly, “Don’t play dumb, Josie. Regarding your brother’s wedding I mentioned last time, you have to fork out the money as soon as possible.”

“I’ve told you – I have no money. There’s nothing I can do to help.”

“Josie, don’t force me to cross the line. If you wish to continue working here peacefully, you better give me the money. Otherwise, you shall bear the consequence.” Jenny threatened coldly.

Josie clenched her fists as her face darkened. Jenny ignored her and continued, “Since you’ve gotten married, the in-laws should more or less give some betrothal gifts. I’m not asking for much – ten thousand. As long as you give it to me, I’ll help you settle things with Jack. Otherwise, all I want is the money; I reckon Jack is more than willing to give that to me.”
