Miriam would be lying if she said she wasn’t mad . The two traitors had promised to search for Teresa together with her , yet after finding her , those two guys didn’t even bother to let her know .
Benny retorted , “ If I remember correctly , at first it was only me and Jonathan who actually looked for Teresa . Didn’t you say Teresa messaged you , told you she was doing okay , and then you said you wouldn’t look for her anymore ? ”
Miriam clicked her tongue and said , “ That’s not the same thing at all , don’t twist it . Just hurry up and give me Teresa’s number . ”
Benny seemed a bit at a loss . “ If you have something to say , I can relay it for you , all right ? I promised Teresa that I wouldn’t give out her number . If I go back on my word , I’ll lose her . ”
Miriam fell silent for a few seconds . “ Alright . I won’t call her . Just tell me , is Teresa really doing okay ? ”
“ She seems alright , ” Benny replied .
“ Really ? ” But Miriam still wanted to see for herself . She wanted to see with her own eyes how Teresa was doing , to give her a hug , and talk to her about everything she’d been holding in .
In Everport . Teresa glanced at the calendar – June 13th was almost here . That was Miriam’s birthday , and Teresa had circled the date to remind herself .
As it happened , Jonathan had asked her to come to his office , so she thought she’d ask him to pass on the birthday present she had bought for Miriam .
Teresa said , “ I got Miriam a watch for her birthday . Could you give it to her for me ? And don’t tell her I’m staying here . I don’t want to interfere with her dating Edward . ”
Jonathan frowned . The watch Teresa bought for Miriam cost approximately the same as the one she had given to him . This meant that , in her mind , he and Miriam were of equal importance .
He took out his phone and checked the official prices . It turned out that his watch was actually two thousand less than Miriam’s . Jonathan’s face darkened instantly . “ Why can’t you give it to her yourself ? Do you really plan never to go back to Nareigh ? ”
“ Just help me give it to her , will you ? ” Teresa said . “ And here , this is the money for the Porsche you bought me . I transferred it from another account to this card . ”
Jonathan pushed the card back towards her . “ Take it . Don’t make me shout at you .”
“ Why are you shouting at me ? You’re my ex – husband , not my husband anymore . Your money belongs to you ,” Teresa replied .
“ It’s just a minor matter , ” Jonathan mumbled , not wishing to engage in an argument about it .
Teresa shook her head . “ A few million might not mean much to you at present , but given the current state of our relationship , it just doesn’t feel right .
“ When we were together , I would accept whatever you gave me . But now that we’re no longer a couple , you keep spending money on me , and I have nothing to give you in return . So please , just take it back . ”
Only then did Teresa ask Jonathan why he had called her to the company , and what exactly he wanted her there for.
Jonathan said, “ You’ve already quit your job , right ? If you don’t want to go back to Nareigh , just come and work at Apex Group . I’ll arrange an easy job for you . ”
Teresa shook her head . “ I’ll handle my own job search . Thanks . ”
Jonathan stared at her , clearly confused . “ Aren’t the Teresouth Group dividends enough for you ? Why bother taking a teaching job ? ”

Teresa’s eyes flickered . To be honest , it was simply because Michael’s kindergarten was close by , and she wanted to find something to do to keep hersatt- from getting bored .
All she said was , “ I just happen to have a teaching license . It would be a shame to
let it go to waste . ”
