Dorian heard Alex's voice, but before he could ask, Josefina calmly replied. "I'm heading back now."
After hanging up, she turned to Dorian, "I need to get back to the office. I'm taking off."
"Don't worry, I'll give you a lift," Dorian offered gallantly. "We came together, and it's rush hour now. Hailing a cab would be a nightmare."
"Thanks, Dorian," she nodded gratefully.
"My pleasure."
As they walked towards the car, Dorian looked at his sister with an adoring gaze and made jovial conversation while they were walking.
Their cheerful banter didn't go unnoticed. Lauren, who was at the hospital to pick up some medication for her blood pressure that had spiked after a rollercoaster of emotions, caught a glimpse of the siblings.
Billy wanted to cut expenses, so he dismissed several house staff, leaving only one to cook and clean the rooms. Some tasks had to be done personally by Lauren now.
Lauren stood beside Ruby, both noticing the scene of Josefina and Dorian chatting and laughing.
"Looks like Josefina's got herself a new man. No sense of propriety," Ruby sneered.
Lauren, with a mouth full of bitter words, egged her on, "Ruby, quick, take a photo. Later, I'll find her, and we'll use the picture to blackmail her. Then we won't have to pay that ten million dollars."
"Mom, you think that'll work? We have to hand over that money by noon."
"We've got a few hours yet. Hurry up and take the picture before they leave."
