Chapter 1017 Only Know How to Bully Me
Joseph flashed her a bright smile and started unbuckling his belt. "I'm gonna take a shower."
Cassie was stunned as his pants hit the floor.
Even though he still had his underwear on, just one look made her face turn even redder.
"Why are you so shy? It's not like you haven't seen it before," Joseph teased, raising an eyebrow.
"No, I haven't seen you impotent," Cassie shot back, bracing herself.
Joseph, used to the jabs, shrugged. "So what? I have plenty of ways to make you happy."
"You pervert," Cassie snapped, glaring at him. "Put your clothes on and get out. Who allow you shower here?"
"I didn't shower last night, and I feel gross," Joseph replied.
As he bent down to remove the last piece of clothing, Cassie couldn't take it anymore and slammed the door behind her.
She sat in her leather chair, fuming.
Charles and Bobby from PR came up to discuss a land project in Whisperlyn City.
Thinking about Joseph in the lounge, Cassie had no mood for work and tried to brush them off.
But Charles and Bobby were determined to discuss the matter thoroughly.
Ten minutes later, the lounge door suddenly opened.
"Cassie, can you help me put on my clothes?" Joseph walked out barefoot, with her pink towel wrapped around his waist. His hair was still wet, and water droplets dripped from his hair onto his muscular chest, leaving Charles and Bobby dumbfounded.
Cassie's mind went blank, her face flushed with embarrassment. "Don't get the wrong idea."
"I see," Charles quickly said. "Mrs. Brooks, don't worry. We won't say a word about this, and it definitely won't reach Mr. Foster."
"Yes." Bobby nodded vigorously. "It's actually quite normal. I've seen it a lot. For someone of your status, having multiple male companions is normal."
Charles added, "Exactly, nowadays, which wealthy man doesn't have a few lovers outside? Even though you're a woman, it's the same."
"We won't disturb you any longer. We'll leave now. You take care."
Watching Charles and Bobby leave quickly, Cassie felt helpless, thinking, 'What nonsense are they talking about? What do they mean by having multiple male companions is normal? They were flattering me to the point of losing their morals.'
"They are quite knowledgeable." Joseph chuckled, walking over to her, still smelling like her shower gel.
It was clearly a shower gel meant for women, but on him, it didn't seem out of place at all, instead, it was filled with ambiguity.
Cassie, shorter than him, could see Joseph's sexy Adam's apple, and further down, his solid chest.
Cassie's brain heated up, and her beautiful face turned completely red, either from embarrassment or anger. "Joseph, who said you could use my towel? And why did you come out?"
"Didn't you hear me? I asked you to help me put on my clothes," Joseph said innocently. "As for the towel, you didn't give me another one. Why be so distant? I used to use yours all the time."
"That was in the past; things are different now," Cassie said, rubbing her forehead. "You have hands and feet; can't you dress yourself? You're doing this on purpose."
"No, didn't you see how swollen my hand is?" Joseph waved his swollen right hand in front of her. "I can't bend my arm."
Cassie looked at his arm and sneered. "You must have gone through a lot to come here with such an injury."
"If you don't help me, I'll have to leave like this." Joseph sighed.
Cassie glanced at his exposed state again, feeling a headache. If he went out like this, news about her and Joseph would surely be trending tomorrow.
In the end, she resigned herself and walked towards the bedroom. "Come in first."
Joseph followed her in and locked the door.
Seeing the closed door and then watching him pull off the towel, Cassie's mind went blank again. "Joseph."
"If I don't close the door and someone sees, you'll blame me for it," Joseph explained innocently, but the smile on his lips was infuriating. "By the way, could you help me put on my pants too? Thanks."
"I'm not doing it." Cassie was so angry that she didn't know where to place her eyes. "If you have the guts, go out like this."
"Okay, I'll go." Joseph turned and put his hand on the doorknob, opening it.
Seeing him about to pull it open, Cassie rushed over, slammed the door shut, and locked it again.
Joseph looked at her, smiling. "Cassie, thank you."
"Joseph, do you have no shame?" Cassie was really starting to not understand Joseph.
"Cassie, I do have shame, but my hand really hurts." Joseph blinked his innocent eyelashes.
In the end, Cassie resigned herself. After all, she had never dressed him before. She lowered her head and reluctantly helped him put on his clothes. Her movements weren't gentle, but Joseph still smiled, especially seeing Cassie's beautiful face blushing so vividly.
She had once been his wife, after all. How could he have been so foolish not to cherish her?
When Cassie stood up to help him with his shirt, Joseph couldn't hold back any longer and hugged her.
When Cassie realized it, she was furious. "Joseph, didn't you say your hand hurt?"
"It does hurt. Can't you see my face is pale from the pain?" Joseph answered with a hoarse voice. To hug her, his entire injured right arm felt like it was being torn apart.
Cassie noticed his pale face and hesitated.
In that moment of distraction, Joseph kissed her.
She knew he wouldn't behave. Cassie cursed in her mind, 'This bastard.'
Cassie reached out to push him, but his clothes weren't fully on, and her hand touched his skin.
She instinctively pulled her hand back from the warmth.
Joseph took the opportunity to push her onto the bed behind her.
Cassie glared at him, her eyes red. "Joseph, is this what you call love? You only know how to bully me. If you really love me, show me some respect instead of making me feel guilty towards David every time. You always do this, just like on the island last time."
