Chapter 340 It’s His Freedom
Josie asked, despite knowing the truth. “Why were you at the hospital?”
Dexter did not release his grip.
Irritated, she had no choice but to continue. “Was I in the way of your date with your fling and bugging you?”
Dexter ignored her words and exposed her. “There’s nothing to be afraid of if you didn’t do anything wrong. Where were you the past few days?”
“The hotel, the company, the hospital, the mundane nine-to-five.” She refused to tell the truth.
He grabbed and forced her to face him. He looked at her furiously. “You know what happens if you lie to me, Josie.”
The woman could only hold his stare and spat word by word, “Aren’t you already aware? I was taking care of Arnold. Do you really need me to spell it out?”
She felt his grip on her tighten as if he wanted to choke the man. “Who told you to do it?!”
“Who gives you the right to question my actions? I didn’t even question you anything about you and her.” Josie threw caution to the wind as though she was unafraid of the repercussions. “I told you before, I’ll show you I can be Mrs. Carter.”
He stared at her momentarily before releasing her with a scornful laugh. “Didn’t you see it today at the hospital? Summer is the one Arnold likes.”
“Is that so? I didn’t notice it. She deliberately changed the attention to the topic. “And here I was, thinking. that she likes you. She keeps throwing herself at you. You don’t need to be such a gentleman.”
His expression became listless. “Why? Are you hoping that I will get together with her?”
“It’s your freedom, whoever you choose to be with. I have no say in it.”
As she turned away, the words left her mouth without her thinking.
Isn’t it always this way? He hadn’t treated me with respect before.
She spoke up after a moment of silence. I’m well aware of my position. We both have things we need. You don’t need to be considerate of me. I know my place.”
She was not the best at maintaining relationships, whether personal or business.
