"No… No… I don't know him," Mrs Parker replied. She looked very flustered following Joanna's question.
The way she refused to look at Joanna's face made Joanna suspicious.
[What could she possibly be hiding?]
Joanna shifted her gaze to Chris standing outside.
Judging from the way he stood she couldn't tell whether or not he was pretending not to be looking in their direction.
"So when are you willing to start working?" Mrs Parker quickly changed the topic.
The way she changed the topic so hastily showed there was something she was hiding.
"When am I willing to start work?" Joanna repeated in astonishment. Her heart began beating hard against her chest.
"Are you trying to tell me that I am hired?" Joanna asked dumbfounded at the turnout of the event.
Mrs Parker frowned, "Are you not willingly?" Mrs Parker asked.
Joanna startled her when she suddenly jumped to her feet.
