Perhaps it was just a random attack, but Ash could not let something like that go until she knew for certain. "He was still working for Gerald the lender, right?"
Joe spoke in a hushed tone. "Yeah, but you should stop asking about it. Who knows what they are involved in these days? It would do you no good to go poking into their business. From what I have heard... Gerald is really angry, so something big must have happened."
Ash nodded slowly as she took in his words. "Got it. I understand."
She realized that poking into everything any further would only create problems for her especially if it reached Gerald's ears that she was going around asking things that she should not be involved in.
Poking into someone's business like that was just one way to get a her on their back.
She could not afford to gain the attention of someone like that, especially since she did not wish for her life to be disrupted with everything that was already going on.
