Chapter 286


    Then, they turned on the warm yellow recessive lights. Although it didn''t bright up as much, at least the


    room didn''t seem as arousing as it was.


    Andrea was also in the room, sitting quietly next to Austin. Meanwhile, Josiah also brought a girl with


    him. She was wearing a knee- length blue skirt, and she seemed familiar to me.


    Then, I realized that it was Chloe. I couldn''t help but frown, because she was sitting so close to Josiah,


    and they seemed intimate.


    I couldn''t exactly describe how I felt. Although Josiah didn''t know about Monique''s pregnancy, she-


    pregnant —was hiding from him in the countryside. Yet, Josiah seemed like he was in a rtionship


    with another woman.


    Most importantly, Chloe wasn''t someone as simple as she looked. She was infatuated with Hendrix


    before, but now she had her eyes on Josiah.


    With so much to think of, I sat down with them. Hendrix and Josiah began to talk about thepany''s


    affairs, and I couldn''t join the


    conversation. I looked at the few people in the room, and I must admit that although Andrea was


    annoying, she was a proud girl. She never took the initiative to socialize when it was unnecessary.


    On the contrary, Chloe had been very heedful to keep pouring wine for the men when their sses


    emptied. She was smiling all the time, and she would even chirp into the men''s conversation from time


    to time.


    The disgust in Andrea''s eyes was more intense as time went by. After another pour of wine for Austin,


    Andrea got up and snapped at Chloe, "Miss Hammer, go out and buy me some light snacks. I didn''t eat


    much for dinner, and I''m a little hungry now."


    The three men didn''t pay attention to it, but Hendrix looked at me and asked, "Do you have anything to


    eat?"


    I thought for a moment and shook my head, "I''m still full." At that, Hendrix got back to his conversation.


    Meanwhile, Chloe''s face was a little ugly. Looking at Andrea, she stered on a smile and said, "Miss


    Burton, you can order food delivery if you want to eat something. It''ste now, so it wouldn''t be safe for


    a girl to go out alone." "I don''t like anything avable for food delivery. Why didn''t you want to go buy


    for me? Are you afraid that I won''t give you money?" Andrea was stubborn.


    She had always been like this. After all these years, I had already gotten used to it. The other three


    men were the same.


    However, Chloe wasn''t used to it. In her opinion, Andrea was making things difficult for her on purpose.


    Among the few people in the room, she was the only one that Andrea could boss around.


    Chloe''s face fell, but still, she tugged on Josiah''s sleeves with a smile. She said gently, "Josiah, do you


    want to eat something? Since I''m going to buy something for Andrea, I can buy something for you while


    I''m at it."

    Frowning, Josiah glimpsed at Andrea and asked, "Didn''t you have dinner?" He was cold-tempered. If


    he didn''t want to be gentle, he was indifferent to most people.


    Andrea nodded and said naturally, "But I''m not full."


    "Won''t you go on your own?" Josiah said straightforwardly without much emotion.


    His words made Andrea and Austin unhappy. Andrea pulled a long face and asked, "What''s wrong for


    me to ask her to go buy something? She''s just a working girl. Why do you care so much?"


    "Yes, she''s a working girl. And what are you?" Josiah retorted unsparingly, "Andrea, don''t forget who


    you are before."


    Before Andrea reunited with Valerie and Pedro, she was just an orphan who had no one to rely on.


    Andrea waspletely at a loss for words. "Josiah, why do you despise me for a woman!"


    "Do you think you can boss people around just because you''re rich now?" Josiah sneered. "Do you


    really think that we''ll wait on your hand and foot forever?"
