What actually happened

Jim who was expecting Joshua to desperately justify himself was shocked with Joshua's reply, he wanted to find a loophole which was possible only if Joshua spoke more but instead his reply was on point and Jim was now not sure if his opinion of Joshua is right or wrong.

On the other hand, Amara was impressed with Joshua's answer, if he would have tried to justify himself, she would have rather thought he is just like other associates and would have thought her opinion was wrong but with this kind of reply she was now surer that this guy is not what he seems to be.

Jim and Amara initially had similar thoughts about Joshua but one reply from him was able to partially convince Jim that he probably is wrong but with Amara it had an opposite reaction, he couldn't change her thoughts even a bit and rather her doubts of him just increased.

James then again asked Jim, "What do you think now?"

"Now I feel maybe I was overthinking. I am not sure to be honest" Jim hesitatingly answered and Joshua laughed in his heart as what he wanted happened.

"Boss?"

"If you think he would be a good addition to our gang, you are free to recruit him" Amara didn't say if her thoughts changed or not but just asked James to make the decision, Joshua was taken aback by her answer as he was still not sure if he was able to change her opinion of him or not and it kind of drove him crazy.

Amara believes in keeping your friends close and your enemies closer. Right now, she is not sure if Joshua is a friend or an enemy but at the moment, she believes he is an enemy and she wants to keep him closer to know him more.

"We already know his skills and he seem to be a smart person so we can recruit him but before that Joshua I want you to tell me how did you know that Russo gang wanted those diamonds and how were you able to get hold of them before us, you need to explain everything in detail and only then we will hire you after running a background check on you."

"So, this background check will happen only after I explain everything?"

"Yes"

"And if I choose to not share it then?"

"Then the door is there" James pointed at the apartment door indicating he would have to leave.

So, Joshua decided to tell them what actually happened.
