Josie finally realized that something was wrong. She turned around and beckoned at the maid behind her, asking silently: What’s wrong with him? The maid shook her head. She looked afraid as if she was not allowed to answer that question.
Josie had no choice but to muster her courage and step forward. She asked carefully, “Mr. Russell, did I upset you again?”
She suddenly felt as if she was trying to tame a tiger.
Dexter was difficult to tame. The look on his face terrified people.
“Go on. Tell me. What were you doing outside so late? Did you go on a date with Dr. Sander again?”
The sarcasm in his words and mockery in his eyes ruined Josie’s good mood. She demanded angrily, “What do you mean? I’ve told you that Dr. Sander and I are only friends. You make it sound as if I have a scandal with him.”
Dexter glared at her. “Am I wrong?”
“… Rascal.” Josie could not help but curse under her breath.
She had not had dinner yet, and it was a long journey home. Her mood was not good, and she was ridiculed as soon as she got home. She almost lost her temper. She stood there for a long time and dared not approach Dexter anymore.
“… I thought you would understand, but it was just a fantasy of mine.”
After that, Josie turned around to head upstairs.
Dexter was at a loss for words. He raised a finger and pointed into the air. With a cold tone, he said, “Don’t take my kindness for granted. You are not as important as you think.”
He stormed upstairs furiously after he finished speaking.
Who should be the one losing their temper now? Josie pushed her hair to the back and told the maid, “Hurry, pour me a glass of water. I can feel the fire in my head right now. It’s burning me to death.”
The maid quickly passed her a glass of water.
“Madam, I’ve stayed here for a long time. You are the first person I met who dares to argue with Mr. Russell.” She gave Josie a thumbs-up as she looked at Josie in awe.
“I didn’t want to argue with him. Didn’t you hear what he said? He’s too domineering! What a bad temper he has!”
