After returning to Bay City from the brook, Jaylene obediently went back to work at the start-up. Since her resignation wasn't approved, she couldn't keep taking time off, even though Romney gave her the privilege, saying she could take leave anytime.
Actually, the permission to take leave any time was mostly granted for Joseph's sake. Now, who didn't know that she, Joseph's ex-wife, had returned to his side out of sympathy for him?
After Alisha found out that Jaylene went back to work, she couldn't help but say: "You are Joseph's fiancee now. Why should you go back to work? Doesn't he give you money to spend?"
Jaylene laughed at her words. Of course, Joseph would give her money, but there was a price attached to it and it couldn't be used casually.
Moreover, it always felt wrong to use the money given by others, as if she was living off someone else's wealth. She still thought it was much more reassuring to spend the money she earned herself.
