Chapter 369Chapter 369
“I agree with her on this,” Liam added, “Miss Meredith would especially need close friends like me to be
around.”
He then passed another glass to Josiah.
“So? Should I drop by and pay her a visit?”
“Forget it.
I have no plans on introducing you to her again.”
“Why? I really want to meet her,” Liam whined, “you‘re not that narrow–minded now, are you? I mean, I
used to help her out, don‘t you remember? She…” “Shut up!” Josiah cut him off annoyedly, stood up
from the couch, and said, “I‘m leaving now.
Enjoy your night.”
“You heartless bastard,” Liam threw an empty beer can at him and said, “guess what, the more you
don‘t want me to meet her, the more I want to go see her…”
Before he could even finish his sentence, Josiah was already long gone.
Quinley smiled at Liam, got onto her feet, and followed Josiah.
She found Josiah in the parking lot.
“Mister Josiah, are you leaving now?” “Yeah.
What‘s up?” Josiah asked.“Oh, it‘s nothing.
I thought of asking when it‘ll be more convenient for you so that I can drop by to visit Meredith,” Quinley
smiled and went on, “I wanted to talk to her more at the party but she was badly surprised by Maeve.”
“Miss Quinley, I thought I‘ve made it clear that Meredith will not be taking guests for now.” “Not even
me?” Quinley nodded disappointedly, “Okay then.
Perhaps some other time when she‘s feeling better.” She said goodbye to Josiah but suddenly turned
around and asked, “You‘re heading home, right? Do you mind giving me a ride?” Josiah wanted to
reject her but Quinley glanced over at one of the men who were in the bar, and she looked frightened.
“Mister Josiah, I…I‘m a little scared.” Josiah followed her gaze and noticed a man who was staring at
her.
He then said, “Come on in.
Quinley immediately got into the car.
In the car, Quinley quietly stole a glance at Josiah.
With his eyes shut, Josiah had his back leaned against the car seat.
The faint streetlights outside the windows were shining on his perfectly–sculptured face, accentuating
his distinctive facial features.
novelbinThis was the first time Quinley got to see him at such a close distance.
It was also the first time that she was sharing a ride with Josiah.
She tried to compose herself and said, “Mister Josiah, thank you for agreeing to give me a ride.I appreciate it.”
“Don‘t mention it.” Josiah kept his eyes shut.
“I knew that you weren‘t as cold as what they say,” Quinley smiled and went on, “if it weren‘t for you, I
wouldn‘t be able to get away from that pervert at the bar earlier.”
Josiah did not respond.
He looked like he was slightly drunk.
And a man who was drunk would easily give in to temptation.
Quinley cleared her throat, reached into her bag, took out a perfume, and sprayed a little on her wrist.
She then pulled up the hems of her skirt a little.
Josiah did not show any response and Quinley got impatient.
Because they were about to reach her house.
Quinley guessed that Josiah was not doing anything because of the driver.
When they drove past a drug store, Quinley said to the driver, “Sir, could I ask you for a favor?” Walter
was slightly startled.
“What is it, Miss Quinley?” “Do you mind getting me a box of aspirin? I‘m feeling a bit light–headed.”
Walter took a look at Josiah through the rear–view mirror.
Upon seeing Josiah not saying anything, he pulled over to the side of the road.
“Give me a moment, Miss Quinley.“
