Chapter 40: Meeting an Heiress

“So, how do you know Hayden?” Josh asked as he tried to make light conversation with me.

Unknowingly, he’s causing both Hayden and me much discomfort. I glanced over at Hayden, begging him to answer the question. I bet Hayden had decided not to tell anyone about our strange living arrangement and relationship. I mean, even I decided not to tell anyone about our bizarre situation.

“She’s just a girl that I know…” Hayden answered vaguely.

“Oh yeah?” Josh replied, clearly dissatisfied with Hayden’s vague answer.

Thankfully, Josh didn’t push the topic any further and switched to asking me random questions about myself instead such as what I was up to lately. He showed genuine interest when I told him that I’m studying art. Overall, Josh and I seemed to get along just fine, and he was a very sociable person.

“Do you have a good memory by any chance?” Josh asked out of nowhere.

“I guess my memory is decent…” I replied, a little surprise at his seemingly random question.
