Chapter 874 - Charlies nurse (2/2)
”Your dad?”
”Mhm…”, Ellie confirmed. ”Do you remember when we spoke last time I mentioned a woman who Jasper fired?”
JoAnna wrecked her brain and had to admit after few seconds: ”Not really. Remind me.”
”She is Jasper's ex, and still interested in him. Also, it seems that she has his father's support.”
”Sounds like trouble. How does your father fit into that story?”
”He gave me evidence how that woman hired someone to follow me.”
JoAnna frowned. ”Do you want me to take care of her?”
Ellie pinched roof of her nose while thinking that her father said the same. ”No. But I would like to hear your opinion. You are handling so many women who are after Jeff, so I hope that you have some advice I can use.”
”OK. First answer one question: do you like him?”
Ellie was confused. ”I don't understand. Why does that matter?”
”It does. Jasper is a handsome young man with a good background. No matter how you look at him, he is a good catch. I can guarantee that there is more than one woman after him. Each of those women will have her own strategies and it's headache-inducing to keep them away. But if you like him and you want to fight for your relationship, then it's worth it. If you want my advice here it goes: talk to him. That woman is pursuing him and since she is his ex, he can give you relevant information to get her out of the picture.”
”I don't know how to talk to him about this.”, Ellie admitted.
”Tell him what you told me. That she hired someone to follow you and start from there. See what he says. In case he chickens out, let me know and I will take care of her.”
JoAnna sighed at the silence coming from Ellie's end.
”Ellie, I know that you are used to doing things by yourself, but a good relationship requires teamwork. And I'm still waiting to hear you say that you like him.”
”Isn't it obvious?”
”I don't know. To me it sounds that you are still on the fence. Say it.” JoAnna taunted Ellie. ”Come on, say it and jump over that fence into looooove! Say it!”
Ellie was not sure how to respond. There is no way she will give in to teasing, no matter how persistent JoAnna is. ”If I'm going to say it, shouldn't he be the first one to hear it?”
”No one will know. This is just between the two of us… Hey! Are you backing out now? Say it! I want to hear you say: I like Jasper!”
Ellie laughed. ”You know what? My break is over. I got to go. Catch you later!”
JoAnna stared at her phone. ”I can't believe she hang up on me!”
JoAnna sent Ellie number of angry texts before letting go of her phone.
