Chapter 878 I Wonst Put You On The Spot (1/2)

Sitting back on the couch helplessly, Jean heaved another sigh.

If she had known it would be so cumbersome, she would have asked Zed to be with her.

At least she wouldn't have been bored.

However, Jean thought that if Zed were here, Elizabeth would slobber away on him rather than pick her wedding dress, which made her think that having Zed around wasn't a good idea after all.

From the corner of her eye, Jean could see Toby patiently standing nearby. She smiled and waved at him, thinking that maybe he could save her from her boredom. 'I could probably kill some time by talking to Toby, ' she thought to herself.

”Mrs. Jean, what can I do for you?” asked Toby, walking to Jean in a hurry.

”Relax, I just want to chat with you because I feel bored,” Jean consoled him with a smile.

”Chat with me?” Toby was a little embarrassed, and eyed Jean with a confused look on his face.

”Can you tell me the story of how Gregory, Terry and you ended up working for Zed?” Jean asked, remembering something Toby had said to her before. ”Zed saved you or something, right? But I just don't seem to understand. You seem to be strong enough to protect yourself. Or perhaps you have another identity, just like Zed?”

Jean said softer and softer, staring at Toby with curiosity.

Biting his lower lip, Toby looked a bit troubled. His eyes wandered around the room quickly. ”I don't think it's appropriate to talk with me about Mr. Zed,” Toby said with a sigh as he looked at Jean sympathetically. ”I just used to make a living some way else,” he continued. ”Then, Mr. Zed came along and saved me. That's when I started to follow and work for him.”

The answer he gave implied that Toby didn't want to tell Jean the whole story. But, knowing that he couldn't simply refuse her directly, he had to tell Jean something.

If she went on asking, it would be more difficult for Toby to answer.

Although she was curious, she had to stop prying and invading Toby's privacy. It was impolite to keep asking.

She wouldn't even have talked to Toby in the first place if it weren't so boring.

With that, Jean heaved another heavy sigh. ”Fine,” she said, ”since you don't want to talk about it, I won't put you on the spot anymore.”
