Chapter 57
The door slammed, and Mister Quinn left. Meredith sat up with difficulty. She looked at Josiah mockingly.
“Mister Josiah, you transferred me here to be an escort, to sell my body and drink with customers, yet you keep messing up my work. Don’t tell me that you can’t bear to watch your ex-wife sleep with other men?”
Josiah squinted his eyes and looked at her half-opened skirt. He felt the flames of anger raging in him, especially when he heard her provocative words. He put out the cigarette in his ashtray and looked over at her. He gazed at her coldly.
” Meredith, all it takes is a hundred thousand dollars for a pervert to sleep with you?”
“Mister Josiah, have you forgotten? My last transaction was only three hundred dollars. That man was much more of a pervert compared to Mister Quinn.”
Meredith smiled and continued, “Mister Josiah, you clearly can’t bear to watch me sleep with other men. Why are you forcing yourself to do so, then?”
“Are you trying to provoke me?”
“Since when have you not been angry with me each time you see me? Do you still need me to provoke you?”
“Meredith, drop dead!”
“Mister Josiah, don’t be such a child. I’m in need of money. Not only do I owe you over two hundred thousand dollars for the Lafete, but I also owe the hospital a bunch of medical fees.”
Meredith forcefully withdrew her tears and met with Josiah’s eyes defiantly.
“Furthermore, I have never thought of selling my body. You were the one that forced me to do so. But now, I’ve started to like this way of earning money. Please don’t disturb me from earning my keep.”
Josiah gritted his teeth. He was speechless.
