Meredith opened her eyes slowly and vaguely, she saw a man.
He was as good-looking as Josiah but he had a slightly different vibe about him. Josiah had this
imposing charisma that intimidated most people but the man in front of her eyes carried this warm and
gentle vibe with him.
Rubbing her eyes, she asked, “Who…are you?”
“Liam Sheldon, Josiah’s best friend.”
“Ahh,” replied Meredith as she adjusted her body, closed her eyes, and continued sleeping.
“You know me?” Liam smiled. “Of course, who doesn’t?” Meredith added, “I still remember that I beat
you in that wine tasting competition.” Meredith did not remember Liam simply because she only had
eyes for Josiah back then. But who knew that the only man that held her heart was also the man who
made her life a living hell. “So you do remember about that.” Liam tapped her shoulder gently and
continued, “Hey, enough with the sleeping. Come have a chat with me.” “Sure thing, one hundred
bucks for a minute.” Meredith still had her eyes closed.
Liam was rendered speechless.
“Didn’t you just say that you’re not a hostess?”
“As long as there’s money, I don’t mind being one.” “Really? Liam teased, “Alright then, I can afford one
hundred for a minute. Let me buy your ten minutes then.”
“Deal.” Opening her eyes, Meredith stared at him. “What do you want to talk about?”
“Let’s talk about wine, shall we?” “Sure. But pay me first.” Meredith reached for her phone and opened
her QR code on WhutsApp. “Add me as your friend and you can find me when you need me.” Right
then, Josiah was coming down the stairs and saw how Meredith was asking Liam to add her on
WhutsApp.
His gaze clouded and with a kick, he flung Meredith’s phone away from her hand.
Gasping in shock, Meredith quickly covered her hand that was in pain.
Liam too was startled. At the sight of Josiah’s cold expression, Liam frowned and said, “Are you nuts
Josiah? Why did you kick her?” Josiah ignored him. His gaze was still fixed on Meredith whose face
was scourged in pain.” You’re something else, aren’t you? You’re selling your service at my place?”
Liam snapped, “What’s wrong with that? Why should she only seïl her service to you?
Aren’t you being selfish and unreasonable?” .
Josiah continued to ignore Liam. He dragged Meredith away from Liam and seethed, “Aren’t you a little
too greedy? You’re being paid four times your salary for working here and it’s not enough? Why?”
Meredith was feeling nauseous after being dragged violently by Josiah but she stood up straight and
stared right into his eyes. “Josiah Shelby, you should know better how urgent I am in need of money.
Weren’t you also the one who forced me to sell my body? So what does it matter to you to whom I sell
my service?”
She then turned toward Liam and said, “Liam, just ring me up whenever you need me. I will be sure to
satisfy your needs if you pay me handsomely.”
Liam looked at her and then turned to look at Josiah who turned red from anger.
Even though Josiah did have a nasty temper, Liam was not afraid of him. Nodding his head, Liam
answered, “Sure, I’ll bring you over to my place tonight. What can you do about it?”. His last sentence
was directed to Josiah.
