Chapter 174

So stupid, Amanda, do you have to bring a pauper home because I want you to hook up with the rich man I introduce to you, yesterday?” she berated her furiously.

Amanda bit her lower lips in frustration “Mom, stop, he isn't my boyfriend, he is my boss” she cried out, her mother, on hearing her outburst kept quiet.

“Your boss?” she reiterated, trying to ascertain what her daughter was insinuating, she squinted her eyes on Jo, he noticed he is very young, she glared at her daughter.

Feeling cheated “I thought your boss is Old Bill, then who is this?” she tilted her head towards the direction of where Jo was standing, Arial bit her lower lips, feeling flustered.

Jo feeling the atmosphere was tense, stepped forward “Ma'am, I have a gift for you” he said, smiling, he stretched forth his hand, and brought a package, wrapped in Gucci package.

Amanda's mom eyes widened in shock, she grabbed it, feeling impressed.

Amanda calmed down, Jo turned to her with a smile, she bit her lips feeling ashamed of giving such reception to her boss “I will be on my way” Jo said.

“Let me escort you out” she volunteered, Jo shrugged and strode out of the apartment, with Amanda trailing behind.

Amanda's mother fumbled with the package, her excitement heightened the moment she unwrapped the package.

They didn't realize someone taking photographs of them, Arial pulled away from his arm, and poured more liquor into her glass, and gulped it down.

Jo felt his phone beep the moment they came down from the building, Amanda rubbed her palms together nervously “I am sorry, Sir, my mom is always like that” she said, Jo nodded.

He shrugged, “you don't have to worry, I have a proposal from you, do you want to take your father's company from the hands of your uncles? I can help you do that, if you are willing?” Jo proposed, her eyes widened in shock.

She lowered her head, realizing that, it won't come cheap “sir, I can…” Jo sensing the discomfort she is “you have just accompany in the company's expansion project” he interjected her statement.

“Think about it” he added, and turned around, walked to his car, and hopped in, he pulled out his phone from his pocket, and gritted his teeth.

He dialed the number over the man he had sent to trail Arial “send me the address” he said, and drove down
