Tara’s response made Jonah raise an eyebrow, seemingly caught off guard. He calmly scanned her up and down before asking, “Why did you turn him down?”
Tara met his gaze with confusion. “Why can’t 17”
Jonah paused, the sternness between his brows softening slightly, “Have you heard of
Walker Group?”
Tara searched through the original host’s memories and the novel’s plat but found nothing. It seemed that Jasper truly had little significance in the story
“No, I haven’t.”
Upon hearing her response, Jonah’s expression remained unchanged as he continued, “Waller Group’s market value is close to two quadrillion dollars, and he’s the company controlling figure.”
When Tara heard this astronomical sum, it was impossible not to feel envious. However, aside from that, no other thought crossed her mind.
“Mr. Walker is indeed outstanding,” she complimented politely.
“So, do you regret not giving him your number? Jonah asked leisurely.
Tara shook her head. “Mr. Pearson, rest assured, I’ve had no thoughts about you or the other three gentlemen since some time ago–much less your friends.” She had no intention of reliving the original host’s tragic ending, so there was an urgency in her tone, as if she were afraid that Jonah might think she hadn’t given
Jonah stared at her calmly, as indifferent as ever. “You may leave.”
Tara immediately tumed and exited his room. She wasn’t at all surprised by Jonah’s question. After all, with her looks, she could easily leverage it to climb the social ladder. She figured that he was subtly warning her not to get any ideas. at least not about his friends.
Tara retumed to the first–tioor kitchen and put the cart back in place. Her shift was nearly over, so she beaded to the time clock right on schedule. After clocking out, she ran into Betty.

Tara was surprised. After all, Terence adored Stella, the female lead. So how could be bear to reprimand her? There hadn’t been any significant mistakes tonight, had there?
Betty continued, “Rumor has it that Mr. Oakley gave Stella a warning for behaving inappropriately in front of guests, which greatly displeased them.”
Without giving Tare a chance to say anything, Betty whispered, “At the party tonight, I saw Stella tearing up in front of Mr. Swain and Mr. Wilhelm. She seemed upset about them inviting many women to the party.”
Betty had probably been holding in this information for a long time, so she spilled everything immediately.
Noticing her eager, gossipy expression, Tara stifled a laugh before sobering. “Don’t gossip about such things in the future. It’s not good.”
It sells found out that Betty was gossiping about her, she would undoubtedly scheme to love her fixed.
Betty nodded vigorously. “I told you only. Why would Stella act like this? she couldn’t understand it at all.
fara simply replied, “She has her reasons. Now, go get some real.”
