Chapter 670Meredith remained silent.How was that considered something interesting?Meredith took a quick glance at Josiah then teased him sarcastically, “Congratulations, Mister Josiah.”“What’s there to congratulate about?” Josiah replied. He then leaned in closer to her ears and whispered, “The new secretaries even said that they want to play with me in bed. Isn’t this much more interesting?” Meredith tightened her grip on the fork, looked at him, and asked, “Do you need me to make room for you guys?”“There’s no need for that.” Josiah kissed her on the cheeks and went on, “I’m not telling you this to show off, I just wanted to remind you to keep a good watch on your husband, if not you might lose him someday.”“Pft…” Meredith pushed him away and said, “If that happens, I’d be the happiest.” Josiah shook his head and said to Nia, “Did you hear that, Nia? Your Mommy is saying words that she doesn’t mean again.”Nia could not understand her parents’ conversation so she could only smile.She was happy to see her father kissing her mother.As they were staying in a secluded area, it was hard for Meredith to call for rides. She also did not want the driver to drive her back and forth from work. Hence, she bit the bullet and brought a car pamphlet for Josiah.“Just a heads up that I’m planning to get this car.”Josiah looked through the pamphlet. It was a car that cost around one hundred thousand dollars.Meredith went on, “I know you have a lot of cars in your garage but they are all too expensive. I don’t want to bring attention to myself at work.”“And, I will make sure to pay you back once I have the money.”In fact, she could buy the car with the card that Josiah had given her. But she still thought that it was only right to let him know. Josiah looked at her, arched his brow, and asked, “How are you going to pay me back? With your body?”“Who knows? Maybe I might get married to a rich man?”Josiah’s face darkened instantly. “Meredith Leighton, do you still want to buy the car?”“How is it that only you can provoke and tease me?” Meredith scoffed, “I told you that you have nothing to hold against me anymore. So you better watch yourself.”Josiah sighed and put the pamphlet aside.“You’re right. I might have let you get your way too much.”Seeing how he was putting the pamphlet aside, Meredith frowned. “So do you agree or not?”“The safety features are not too good for this model. Let’s get another one.” Josiah looked through the internet and then handed the table to her. “Let’s get this one instead. The safety features are better and four hundred thousand dollars is still within the middle-class range.”Looking at the pictures, Meredith thought that the car was okay. “I’ll have Yoseph settle this. You don’t have to do anything.”“Okay, thanks.”Meredith was about to leave but was stopped by Josiah.“I’ve just lent you four hundred thousand dollars and this is your attitude?” Josiah was looking at her with a displeased expression on his face. “I don’t expect you to pay me back with your body. But it’s not too much to ask for a hug or a kiss, right?”Meredith’s lips curled up into a smirk. “Haven’t you been taking advantage of me by using Nia as an excuse?”“That’s a different case.” Josiah stood up from his chair and lifted her onto his desk. He then put his forehead against hers. “I want you to make the first move.”Feeling his warm breath on her face, Meredith felt as if her breath was taken away.Yet at the same time, she felt frustrated with herself.Could it be that Josiah had recently been nice to her? She was starting to fall for his seduction.Even if she was being forced, she did not feel a strong resistance toward him anymore.Meredith wanted to stop herself from acting this way.She reminded herself that it was Josiah who caused the death of her mother and he was also the devil that trampled her and Nia under his feet. She should never forgive the devil.
