“Yes, Sir,” Mister Wesley then guided the executives to another room.
Mister Yoseph then closed the door slowly.
Josiah remained seated lazily on the couch in the same position. He lit up a cigarette and leaned back on the
couch.
Meredith shifted her gaze unconsciously, not wanting to admit how attractive he looked.
“Miss Meredith, why are you on my tail? Do you perhaps want to pick up where we left off?” Josiah puffed out a ring
of smoke. Meredith gritted her teeth, trying to tamper down on her rage.
“Or have you been playing hard–to–get all this while?” Josiah asked, “When I get close, you run away. Now that I‘ve
stopped, you can‘t help it but want to flirt with me, yes?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMeredith was baffled with rage.
“Josiah, you‘re overthinking. I only came here because I want to ask you about this.”
She pushed the tablet toward him so that he could see the content. Josiah took a quick scan of the tablet, then
looked up at her, and asked, “Ah, didn‘t Mister Yoseph already explain this to you?” Meredith was wordless with
rage. “He did, but now I want you to delete this post.”
“Why? This post clearly benefits both you and me, why would you want to delete it?” “Because this is unfair for
Charlie. You shouldn‘t smear his reputation just because he‘s not here anymore.” “Smearing Charlie‘s reputation?”
Josiah scrolled the tablet and added, “I‘ve checked the post and I don‘t see any sentence that is discrediting
Charlie.”
He pointed at one paragraph and said, “And here, I clearly wrote that Charlie loves Meredith and because of that,
he chose to pretend that he had lost his memories and even risked his life to save her.
“Then why did you write that Charlie took me overseas when I was at my lowest? And that I didn‘t love him but only
felt indebted to him? These words are discrediting Charlie, aren‘t it?”
“This is a fact. I am not smearing his name.”
“You–”
Josiah‘s gaze slowly darkened. “Meredith Leighton, stop blindly taking Charlie’s side just because you feel guilty
toward him, or think that I am smearing his reputation on
purpose.”
Meredith did not know what to say.
“Of course, you won‘t admit to anything now. In any case, the public‘s sentiment is leaning toward your side and
you‘ve got what you wanted. You can now take down the post right?”
“Do you think that I am the only one benefiting from the post? Don‘t you think that you‘re able to hunt me down
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfreely and as you please because the public‘s opinion of you has turned for the better?”
“Josiah Shelby, I don‘t need you to use such a tactic to achieve this!”
“Have you already forgotten how it feels to have bad eggs thrown at you?” “I’d rather be thrown at,” Meredith
seethed and stared furiously at him, “so, please take the post down right now.”
Right then, someone knocked on the door, followed by the waiter‘s voice, “Mister Josiah, sorry to disturb, but can I
come in to serve the dishes?”
“Come on in.” Josiah put out his cigarette, then looked up at Meredith and said, “Since you‘re already here, come
join me.”
“Josiah Shelby, I am not here to get a free meal.”
“I know. You‘re here to talk about the post with me. We‘ll talk about it after eating.” He then pointed at the seat
opposite him and said, “Take a seat.”
