Celeste never felt any sense of admiration or respect for Mina, but when she heard what happened next, she couldn't help but feel just that.
Mina, despite all the wrongdoing she had done towards Celeste, had qualities in her that Celeste wished she had too.
Jordan explained that after that fateful night, his outlook on life changed.
He didn't just want to be a lackey; he wanted to be a boss too. He wanted to be someone worthy of Mina, but more importantly, he wanted to be able to afford her. Because, understandably, she was high-maintenance in every sense of the word.
When Jordan wasn't working, he was either warming up to his father, who was turning more into a friend to him, or he was serving Mina as her personal bodyguard, which her father paid him to do with her mother's recommendation.
Back then, her parents and Erickson's parents were quite close, so they knew well who Jordan Everhart was.
