Chapter 1092
"I never thought that Nia would like Lucy. I'm relieved." Josiah looked at Meredith once more, looking at her
complicated gaze. " But why don't you seem happy? Do you not like Lucy?"
"It's not important whether I like her or not. As long as you like her, Mister Josiah."
"But compared to you, I still think you're more suited."
"You said that she was prettier than me in front of her just now." Meredith did not realize how sour her tone was.
Josiah sensed it. He started to be pleased.
Turns out, the hard-to-get play act by Yoseph and Wesley that he dismissed a moment ago was not completely
ineffective.
"When did I say that?" Josiah asked.
"In the lounge." Meredith realized what she had said, she immediately added, "Mister Josiah, don't be mistaken. I
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwasn't eavesdropping, and neither do I have the habit of making out with people in public. It was just a
coincidence."
The mischievousness on Josiah's face was even more intense.
"You even eavesdropped on Lucy and I making out?"
"I already said it, I accidentally heard it." Meredith looked away.
The mad person in front of her could repeatedly remind her of what happened in the lounge, but she did not want
to think about it at all.
"So...you're jealous?"
"Do you think that's possible?" Meredith calmly retorted.
"If you're not jealous, why did you replace Lucy as my partner?
Why didn't you let me and Lucy dance the opening act?"
"It's for Nia. I don't want Nia to see her Daddy suddenly finding her a stepmother."
"Because of Nia, you lost all your logical thinking. Your IQdrops down to zero. You didn't even do a basic check and
you immediately jumped out to be my partner?"
Meredith was so furious she was at a loss for words. "Josiah, what do you mean by that?"
Josiah chuckled. "Meredith, Lucy has a boyfriend. You slander her and me. What difference is there to the people
who scold you for being loose on the internet?"
"I..." Meredith was speechless by his words.
After a while, she said, "Josiah, how dare you talk about me. You knew that she has a boyfriend, yet you still fool
around with her in the lounge. Don't you feel guilty?"
"Since when did you see me fooling around with her? Or did you only hear it?"
"I heard it with both ears."
"Is that so? Are you sure you didn't mishear?"
Meredith was speechless at his question, she gradually came to her senses.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Who is Lucy's boyfriend? Jayden Shelby?" Meredith asked.
"Yes."
"So, she..." Meredith was instantly awkward.
Could she have misheard?
She kept hearing Lucy calling Mister Shelby. Was she referring to Jayden and not Josiah?
She remembered that the man's voice was hoarse and flirtatious. It was also very soft. At that time, she did not
identify if it was Josiah or not. She only heard Lucy calling out Mister Shelby.
Thus, that Mister Shelby she was calling was Jayden, not Josiah?
The more Meredith thought about it, the hotter her face felt.
She never thought that because of a misunderstanding, she not only stood up to be Josiah's partner, but she also
had made herself the butt of the joke for him to laugh at.
"You..." Meredith asked unsurely once more, "You weren't doing those deeds with Lucy in the lounge?"
"What sort of deeds?"
"Those between a man and woman."
