Allie was heartbroken by Sheldon's attitude. She had even considered refraining from such drastic measures if Sheldon would discuss things with her.
However, he did not even do her the courtesy of hearing her out. Worse still, he was parading other girls in front of her as if he had forgotten they had slept together not long ago and that she had carried his child.
“Aren't you afraid that I would tell your mother, Mr. Ford? I believe Mrs. Ford would want to know about her son's antics.”
Sheldon scowled. “Are you threatening me? Wake up! She's my mother, and she will take my side no matter what I have done. Do you really think she would take a servant's side over mine? I only slept with you from having too much to drink, yet you wouldn't leave me be. What do you want me to do?”
Allie did not bother to argue with Sheldon any longer. She decided to endure the humility as she needed the job. She believed Sheldon's heart would soften with time for her.
It's no use saying anything else. Sheldon would just think I'm forcing him.
Judy watched as Tobias lit a cigarette.
Then, he tossed the pack to her.
He expected a girl who had been on the streets since her teens to know how to smoke. True enough, Judy's fingers moved with the finesse of a veteran smoker.
Gripping the cigarette by its filter with her teeth, she waited for Tobias to light the cigarette for her, but he did nothing.
What the hell? Aren't you supposed to light the cigarette of whoever you're offering it to? So Tobias is like that. Although he's never showy, his bossy presence follows him around and makes him uncomfortable to be around.
Judy examined the layout of the study and found a bookshelf several meters tall behind him. Her neck grew sore from looking at the top shelf.
