Josiah showed up at the dining hall right at lunchtime. Scanning the place, Josiah did not see Meredith around. He was about to ask Lily if Meredith had left,
Lily then greeted, “Sir, lunch is ready.”
Taking a look at the table full of dishes, Josiah had already gotten his answers.
Lunch was prepared by Meredith,
Looking at the dishes, memories of Meredith dressed in the provocative nightgown suddenly flashed across his mind. Josiah seethed, “Get Meredith over here right now!
“Miss Meredith is in the middle of doing laundry.” Carefully, she asked, “Sir, is the food not to your liking? I can call Miss Linda to come over and prepare other dishes for you.”
“I said get Meredith over here,” Josiah repeated. Lily had no other choice but to go get Meredith.
Shortly after, Meredith showed up in front of him.
She was dressed in a faded white-colored tee shirt. The loose tee-shirt only revealed her slender neck.
Josiah thought that Meredith looked much better dressed like this.
But he went on to mock her, “Weren’t you barely wearing anything earlier? What’s with the long shirt and long trousers now?”
Meredith did not know why she was being called over, but she replied patiently,” You said that you don’t want to see me dressed in a revealing manner, didn’t you? So I’m just doing as I’m told.” “Meredith Leighton, it’s weird that you’re being so obedient.”
“What else can I do? I need this job.” Taking a glimpse at the dishes on the table, she asked, “Did you call me over because the food is not to your liking?”
Adjusting his collar, Josiah said, “I want you to serve me.”
Meredith was wordless. She wanted to tell him that there was no need for her to serve him when there were only three different dishes. He could have easily picked what he wanted to eat.
But she guessed that Josiah might be trying to make it hard for her. Hence she could only bite down her tongue and do as she was told. Walking over to him, Meredith sat down next to him and started serving him. She served him while Josiah ate silently. Surprisingly, he did not try to make it hard for her.
Meredith was surprised.
After he finished, Meredith handed him a napkin before clearing up the table.
After doing the dishes, Meredith realized that Josiah was still sitting at the dining table. Ignoring him, she walked out of the dining hall. “Hold on!” Josiah called out to her.
Stopping in her tracks, Meredith turned around to look at him. “Yes, Sir?” “Tell me why you’ve returned,” Josiah asked.
Josiah thought about the reason why she had returned when her mother had passed away, hated him a lot, and when she could have asked Liam for help.
She had no reason to come back just to be humiliated again by him. Plus, she even tried to seduce him. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
“I thought I told you that I needed the money. My daughter is still in the hospital. “Looking right into his eyes, Meredith went on, “But of course, it would be great if you could use me and pay me for my
service.” She was actually begging him to buy her service. Josiah thought that it was utterly strange.
Josiah’s tone hardened as he said, “Meredith Leighton, don’t let me find out what tricks you have up your sleeves. I will not go easy on you.” “I hear you loud and clear, Sir. If there’s nothing else, please excuse me.” She then walked out of the dining hall.
