"Tell me the truth now, why are you still engaged to Patricia?" She asked.

Jason tilted his head, he had to admit he was surprised and taken aback by her question. Should he tell her? Could he tell her? If he told her he needed to remain close to the Lee family then he would have to tell her about Paradise. He could and wouldn't do that. Telling her about Paradise would not only make her a liability but put her in unnecessary danger. So he decided to subtly change the subject while giving her vague answers. 

"Why all of a sudden?" He asked approaching her, very cautiously. 

"You said you were only engaged to her because your father threatened your inheritance. Aren't you already chairman?" She asked.

"Is that really the only reason your asking me?" He asked and she gave him a puzzled look in return.

"That doesn't seem like the reason, are you perhaps jealous?" He asked in a low tone.
