A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 302

Chapter 302 Do You Enjoy Being A Kept Man

Josephine and Frida chatted incessantly, as they had not met each other in a few years.

“Josephine, which company does your boyfriend own?” Frida inquired.

“He isn’t my boyfriend!” Josephine shook her head.

“Cut the crap. I saw it with my own eyes. If he wasn’t your boyfriend, would you have sat with him and let him hug you? Did you sneak out without your dad’s knowledge?”

Frida grinned cheekily at Josephine.

“No, my dad knows that we’re here in Yeringham,” Josephine explained at once.

She was worried that Frida would assume that she was eloping and give William a call.

“Hey, handsome, which company do you own? Since Josephine has the hots for you, you must really be something, huh?” Frida asked Jared mischievously. She was no longer afraid of him.

Jared smiled plainly. “I don’t own any. I’m unemployed and relying on your cousin for living expenses. In fact, she bought me these clothes.”

Indeed, Josephine was the one who bought the suit he was wearing.

“A kept man?” Frida let out a Freudian slip.

“Frida, stop spewing nonsense!” Josephine glared at her before giving Jared an apologetic look. “Jared, I hope you don’t mind. My cousin can be overly frank sometimes.”

Jared simply smiled. “Good, I like people like that.”

“It’s useless for you to like me. I’ll be your relative soon!” Frida teased.

Jared responded with an awkward chuckle. Even though she has a sharp tongue and straightforward character, she does resemble Josephine quite a bit.

Soon, the three of them arrived at a restaurant. After parking the car, Frida led Jared and Josephine inside.

“Yas, stop asking. He’s…”

Frida pulled Yasmin aside and whispered a few words into her ear.

Yasmin’s face visibly darkened after that. In fact, the way she looked at Jared had drastically changed.

“Josephine, you have to be careful in choosing a boyfriend. You’re attractive. I’m sure you have many suitors. You’re still young, so you have to keep your eyes out for those who will seek to deceive you, or else it will be too late for regrets once you’re married.”

Even though Yasmin was speaking to Josephine, her words were clearly aimed at Jared.

“Yasmin, you have misunderstood. Actually—”

“There’s no need to explain. I know everything. I was once your age,” Yasmin interrupted.

She then turned to Jared and sneered, “What’s your reason for being unemployed? Do you enjoy being a kept man?”
