Chapter 298
"Cassie was clueless about his intentions, but she held her breath and replied to David, ""Yeah, I just took a shower. I didn't hear the phone.""
""I missed you. You haven't called me all day."" David asked gently, ""Do you miss me?""
The tension in the bathroom plummeted; Cassie's eyes widened when the man bit her ear unexpectedly.
She shot a murderous glance at Joseph's infuriatingly handsome face; he just smirked and pulled her closer, brazenly burying his face in her neck to plant kisses.
David inquired again, ""Why aren't you speaking? Don't you miss me?""
""I... I've just been swamped these last few days,"" Cassie managed to say while holding back.
""Have you secured that property?""
""Not yet."" Cassie bit her lip as Joseph started kissing her lips.
She dodged; he pursued.
David said with concern, ""It's a shame I'm not there to help.""
Joseph's kisses left Cassie feeling uncomfortable, but David continued, ""I'll be in New York soon; we can work on it together, okay?""
""Cassie, why aren't you speaking?""
Cassie was kissed breathlessly, managing only a faint ""Mhm"" before swiftly snatching her phone. ""Something came up; I've got to go.""
After quickly hanging up, she shoved Joseph away with fury burning in her eyes. ""Joseph, you're too much.""
""Am I?"" Joseph scoffed, ""When I used to call you, were you doing the same with him?""
""I wasn't! You're being unreasonable. The shower is ready now."" Cassie stormed off; her heart couldn't take any more of this.
""Bring me some clothes,"" Joseph commanded coldly from behind her.
""I'm not doing that...""
Before Cassie could finish her sentence, she watched Joseph take off his shirt to reveal a well-built and attractive physique underneath.
He glanced back at her with a devilish grin. ""If you don't go, then I guess your dad might enjoy that video I have.""
""Fine, stop! I'll go,"" Cassie snapped, quickly ducking her head and storming out. At the door, she inexplicably turned back for one last look, only to see him tossing his pants aside.
Her eyes stung as she turned and entered the walk-in closet. After reluctantly picking out pajamas for him, Cassie moved back to the bathroom door. There, she saw Joseph lying in the tub, eyes closed, with eyelashes resembling peaceful, resting butterflies, and his well-defined chest glistening with water droplets.
It’s said that beauty is cultivated in the bath, and this man was no exception to this luxurious indulgence.
Her heart pounded at the sight, and she overlooked a small step at her feet. Tripping over it, she tumbled into the bathtub, landing squarely on his chest.
Joseph's eyes flew open as Cassie, now soaking wet, struggled atop him. Drops of water trailed down her cheeks, creating an alluring spectacle.
Embarrassed, Cassie's eyes widened as she said, ""I'm sorry, it wasn't on purpose; I'll leave right away.""
""Can I trust you?"" Joseph pulled her towards him and wrapped his arms around her from behind, resting his handsome face on her shoulder, his breath heavy. ""You were trying to seduce me to win the deal, right?""
Cassie was taken aback. The thought that he would even consider that left her flustered. ""I wasn't!""
