Overhearing the chat, Josie was keen to learn more. "Are you a millionaire?" she asked the Australian. "I thought you just had £100,000! How can you be a millionaire? There's no way you could be a millionaire, you haven't done anything."
He queried: "Millionaire in what? Assets? Or cash?" explaining that in terms of assets he is indeed a millionaire.
"My ex was a millionaire, then," said Josie. "You don't seem really, really wealthy anyway. Apart from all your nice clothes. But I just thought you were an idiot with money."
She still didn't appear to believe him, however. "But... you're just comfortable, aren't you?" she probed. "Yes," he replied. "But I don't work, do I? I've been to London three times. My car was £87,000. Work it out."
"Have I just hit the jackpot?" laughed the 25-year-old, who began fishing for more information. "Why is it important?" asked John James.
"Because I want to know. You ask me things about myself," she replied, as he tried to change the subject by asking what day it is.
"When I was saying buy me a scooter and a car, I was only joking, mind," Josie told him. "I know," he replied, as she added: "Then again, if you want to..."
Putting the topic to rest once and for all, he asked: "Why am I wearing a **** dress?" before making a move to get out of bed.

Maybe his 'wealth' is the root of many of his issues! Perhaps he has had some bad experiences with the good-looking girls who have ended up being after his money! Maybe he thinks a plainer, less attractive girl like Josie is likely to be less money grabbing and more appreciative of him! It is all beginning to make more sense!
If that is the case - I think he is wrong - because everything suggests that Josie is not as innocent and honest as she has lead him and us to believe. He is too close to the situation - and needs to get to know her better in the real world before rushing into any such rushed and ill-advised judgements!
