Rebecca rolled her eyes with irritation, pretending not to see Joseph.
I was left in awe upon seeing that. What’s going on? Now that Ashton and Rebecca have buried their hatchets, Joseph becomes the one who suffers?
Noticing the puzzlement in my eyes, Joseph turned awkward as he immediately changed the topic. “Mrs. Fuller, let me escort you down.”
Upon saying that, he made a gesture inviting me to leave.
I did not give it much thought as I followed him.
After I took a few steps, Rebecca suddenly voiced out abruptly. “Hold on…”
Joseph halted his feet and turned around. “Ms. Larson, is there anything?”
Rebecca uttered pridefully, “Nothing, but my assistant is on leave today. I want you to take her place for today.”
Joseph nodded. “No problem. Let me escort Mrs. Fuller down first, and I’ll be right back.”
Upon saying that, Joseph displayed a professional smile and intended to continue escorting me. Before he turned around, Rebecca lifted her hand and slapped him.
Joseph’s face darkened instantly. Yet, he did not dare to resist due to his status.
If Ashton was like a wolf, then Joseph was like a mastiff. Even when he did not speak his mind, he had such a domineering charisma on him.
However, Rebecca showed him no respect as she walked up and poked at his forehead. “Who do you think you are? How dare you ask me to wait? I want you to take her place right now!”
Even Ashton would never treat Joseph with such humiliation.
