With his concern about the wounded Ash as the excuse, Dexter shamelessly persisted in staying.
For the sake of Sofia who looked contented, Ash said nothing though she was unhappy.

“Jewel, Dexter just told me that you work at Calvert’s company. I know I shouldn’t be interfering, but your dad is aging. He is impulsive sometimes, so why don’t you join his company and help him?” Sofia persuaded.
Instantly, Ash knew that Dexter must have said something to Sofia.
She thought with contempt, “How sly Dexter is! He just declared bankruptcy and now is instigating Grandma for my help.
“I don’t know much about business. He said that he would start a new company in my name, so give him a hand, won’t you?” Sofia urged. Ash clenched her fists and asked, “Did he? Did he say so?”
“Yes. I don’t know what that means, but Jewel, life isn’t easy for him. We came from the countryside, and it cost us a lot to reach where we are,” Sofia said.
Ash lost patience with Dexter, and regret got her. “I should have tackled him once and for all,” she thought.
Sofia gave a lengthy talk. In short, she wanted Ash to get along well with Dexter and show him more patience.
Tired, Ash said, “Okay, Grandma. I will go to work since he is here with you.” She couldn’t stay under the same roof as Dexter for another minute.
“No. Your arm is wounded. Calvert told you to take a good rest at home, didn’t he? Do you want a scar on your good arm? All my bad…” Sofia said.
In the end, Ash managed to convince Sofia and left for work.
“Boss, Samantha is a frequenter of a beauty salon. I checked that salon and found nothing suspicious there,” Eleanor in black reported.
Given the terrifying scar on Samantha’s face, this news didn’t surprise Ash. “Anything else?”
Eleanor shook her head. “No. Nothing suspicious. Usually, her itinerary includes only her house and that beauty salon.”
Eleanor had suspected that Samantha was up to something bad during her long stay in that beauty salon, but Eleanor couldn’t find anything like the hidden doors there after a thorough search.
“Boss, what do you think of a new target?” Eleanor was tired of tailing Samantha like a detective. She couldn’t give full play of her potential in this tedious job.
Her dejected look amused Ash. Ash asked, “Do you feel bored?”
Eleanor nodded honestly. “More than that. I can’t get a sense of fulfillment from this task. Boss, I miss our life abroad.”
“What do you think if I buy you a plane ticket?” Ash asked.
Eleanor shook her head like mad. “Boss, I didn’t mean that. I just think that our life abroad was fulfilling. Boss, don’t get me wrong.” Her eyes sparkled with earnestness.
Ash tapped Eleanor’s head and then said, “I know. People here like evidence. If you feel bored, I will give you another assignment.”
