“Bis Sis Schuler, that wouldn’t be appropriate. I can stay at the dormitory…” Tiffany said in a flustered tone.
“It’s alright. Don’t be afraid. I’m lonely when I’m home alone. You can keep me company at home.”
A sincere smile flashed across Wendy’s face.
Jasper and Dawson were way too busy nowadays. She had nobody to keep her company when she arrived home. She had nobody to rant to.
After all, she was a woman. Furthermore, she had such a heavy workload. She wished to have a true friend who could accompany her as well. She hoped that she had someone to talk to whenever she was tired.
Tiffany had left a pretty good first impression on her. She had already begun to treat her as her own younger sister.
“Tiff, listen to Wendy! It isn’t easy for you to live outside on your own,” Jasper said.
“In that case…”
“It’s decided, then. You can stay with us. It wouldn’t be safe for a young girl like you to live outside on your own.”
Tiffany nodded in a daze due to Jasper and Wendy’s persistent persuasion.
Tiffany followed Jasper and Wendy back home after they left Hello Hotpot.
She was beyond shocked the moment she arrived at Wendy’s house.
“Oh my God! Big Sis Schuler, you have such a big house!”
Standing at the door, Tiffany looked at the wide central living room. The magnificent house was a villa that consisted of two separate floors.
A huge crystal chandelier that shone brighter than the shiniest treasure from Tiffany’s dreams hung from the ceiling in the center of the room. Everything was beyond her imagination.
“Why are you standing at the door? Come in,” Wendy told her with a cheery smile on her face.
“I… I’ve never seen such a big house in my life. Everything is way too pretty. I’m afraid that I’ll dirty the furniture,” Tiffany said in embarrassment, her cheeks beginning to blush.
“The cleaners will tidy up and clean the place every day.”
Immediately, Wendy pulled Tiffany into the house.
Although Wendy wanted to treat Tiffany well, she knew how to take care of a young girl’s self-esteem as well. Wendy was a wise woman.
“You don’t have to worry about anything when you’re staying here. However, you’ll be staying in one of the guest rooms and you’ll have to clean up the room yourself.”
Tiffany nodded heavily and said, “Alright, Big Sis Schuler. I’ll make sure to pay attention to the cleanliness of the room.”
Wendy chuckled and said, “Come on, I’ll bring you to your room.”
Jasper’s mood was lifted when he saw both of them walking upstairs while happily chatting.
Putting aside the complicated fate of Tiffany’s past and present lives, Wendy really needed someone she could talk to.
Wendy’s life usually revolved around her home and the office. In the office, she would be swamped with work.
Back at home, Dawson was getting busier and busier with his own work, so he was rarely at home. Wendy did not have anyone to talk to except for her unreliable bodyguard, Fallon Murray.
Now with Tiffany at home, it would be a good thing for Wendy.
After taking a shower upstairs, Jasper sat down in his study. He was just about to handle some business matters when he received a phone call from Brac County.
“Mr. Laine, this is Lucas Wadler.”
“Lucas? Why are you calling me so late at night? Did anything happen?” Jasper asked with a slight frown.
Lucas was a talented senior manager in the shipbuilding industry whom Jasper had hired from Harbor City through his connections with the Laws.
His parents did not know how to operate and manage the shipyard in Brac County, which was the reason why he hired Lucas to lead the team working in the shipyard.
“Mr. Laine, I’m calling you because a situation has arisen over here. I thought about it for some time and I think that I should report it to you.”
