Joseph Thompson was away on a business trip last week and hadn't returned yet, so Jaylene still stayed at her mother's home, where her mother prepared lunch for her to take to work every day.
Ever since her colleague Hannah Taylor met Joseph, she had become less arrogant recently. Even when she saw Jaylene, she would have a fake smile on her face, no longer as sarcastic and mean as before.
Now, Jaylene had the position of assistant director, so she was not under the authority of Hannah, the team leader, and they didn't interact much in daily life, reducing friction.
On Tuesday, a very ordinary day, Jaylene was about to have her lunch when Director Ricky Lewis knocked on the door and asked, "Jaylene, are you free tonight?"
"Tonight? Yes." Jaylene hesitated briefly but answered truthfully.
