Chapter 1066 Staring into his eyes, Meredith paused before finally saying, “Josiah, I am really glad that you’re being reasonable. I hope that you’ll keep your word.”
She then turned around and walked back into the house.
Looking at Meredith who was walking away, Josiah thought to himself that it should not have ended this way.
Should Meredith not be disappointed after hearing that he was giving up on her?
He was worried that he might have been too into the character.
As soon as he arrived at the office, Josiah immediately vented his anger on Mister Wesley.
He blamed Wesley for coming up with the dumb playing hard-to-get idea and that he had lost the precious opportunity of being able to spend time with her last evening.
Feeling awkward, Mister Wesley scratched the tip of his nose and replied, “Sir, you’ve just merely started. You’d need to be more patient.”
“This is just the start?” Josiah was rendered speechless.
It was already hard for him to pretend that he did not care, how could Wesley expect him to keep pretending?
Meredith, his loved one, was just right within his reach but he had to show that he hated her. It was simply torturous for Josiah. “Sir, if you really want to get Miss Meredith back, you’d have to be patient,” Mister Wesley explained, “and besides, you’ve already started the plan, and you can’t possibly want to give up now.”
“Just think about it, if you run to Miss Meredith right now and tell her that it was all just a show, don’t you think that she will only be angrier and blacklist you from her life?
“Even though…this is not the first time that she’s blacklisted you, but it’s not something good right…” Josiah gave him a cold glare. “Is it so embarrassing to be blacklisted by my own wife? I don’t think so.” “Urm...you’re right, Sir. It’s not embarrassing at all to be blacklisted by your wife. It’s an honor.”
Feeling speechless, Wesley had no choice but to leave Josiah’s office.
Turning around, he noticed Yoseph who was looking at him sympathetically.
For the sake of keeping this job that paid him well, Wesley had no choice but to plead with Yoseph. “Mister Yoseph, you must help me this time. I’d be dead if I lost this job. I have a family to take care of and I really can’t afford to lose this job.”
Mister Yoseph shrugged his shoulders, “Good luck, Mister Wesley, you’re on your own. Or perhaps you can think of a way to make Miss Meredith accept Sir soon.”
“What can I do with someone as stubborn as Miss Meredith, when she is not even the slightest bit swayed by Sir?”
“Then why did you teach Sir about the hard-to-get technique?” “Mister Yoseph, if I remember correctly, you supported this plan too.”
