"This is just the introduction, so you would be paying three hundred dollars. We will talk about the fee for the main services I would be delivering. I'm sorry to remind you of this," she smiles. "You're a VIP client, so you would be paying a bit higher." She notified Derek. Her choice of fees, most of the time is by merely looking at your worth and what you want, to consider if you can afford or not.

He stares at her intensely while waiting for her response. "I wasn't born with it, I developed it over time to cope with depression and distraction." "What do you mean?" He asks since he doesn't understands. "When I was a teenager, I always had series of crushes on guys and most of them weren't reciprocated, they didn't even seem to notice me because I wasn't rich. Sometimes I had depression over this and even when I grew older to my late teens, I would always be distracted from my work trying to get a guy know about my feelings." She pauses and thinks about it, what she is saying, how she felt those days. Then she continues. "I'm really grateful to God for giving me the ability to let go and not feel any crush towards anybody. Now I don't have to try figure out if someone loves me or try to get a guy's attention."

The meeting was just to point out her wrong to her, Derek let her know that Bianca was the lawyer that would be handling the case but didn't introduce Jaria as his secretary but his Mistress which got Tahlia extremely jealous. Her plot was aimed at including Bianca for being the one working against her with Derek but when he heard of Jaria, her heart immediately began to beat in sincere hatred and conspiracy for her.

Son-in-law: The Billionaire's Reign Chapter 29: A visit to Jaria's family
Jaria clears her throat to answer his question. "Well," she starts. "The loss occurred about eight years ago but the pain is still as fresh as today, I really miss those brothers of mine whenever I look at their pictures at home." It sounds so pitiable for Derek, he imagines himself being in such condition. "Wait! Brothers? They were all males?" He thought that perhaps since they were much, it would be a combination of both males and females, or at least one female would be among. Jaria shakes her head. "No, I was the only girl. It's only now, my parents brought another girl. She is a domestic assistant but I often see her as my sister. I heard that they adopted a guy, kind of an adoption," she shrugs his shoulders. "But he is thirty, this is what they told me." It's gonna be the first time she is going to be seeing him and her heart is pumping so fast. Her mother told her few weeks ago that he looked so much like his first brother and if he had lived, would be thirty years now, jus
