Chapter 108 Taking Advantage of Me?
Josephine gave her a look, but she didn't catch on and continued, "Stuart isn't a good person either. He just bullies you. Josephine, what's wrong with your eyes?"
She glanced over and felt something was off. When she looked closely, she screamed in fright.
"Keep talking." Stuart said from the passenger seat, his face stern and expressionless. He asked, "How am I not a good person?"
Caught bad-mouthing Stuart behind his back, Claudia, who was already thin-skinned, felt so embarrassed she didn't know what to do.
Josephine wasn't afraid of Stuart hearing anything; what Claudia said was true and not exaggerated.
However, talking about introducing her to other men in front of Stuart was indeed inappropriate.
Josephine spoke up, "Claudia, sit tight. I'll take you home."
Claudia never liked Stuart. She thought Stuart's face was always cold; although he was handsome, he was intimidating. She didn't understand what Josephine saw in him.
She obediently sat back and didn't dare to look forward.
Stuart didn't like Claudia. To him, Claudia was just a clueless brat, a spoiled girl who only knew how to cry after her family went bankrupt.
Such a woman was worthless in his eyes.
He didn't understand why Josephine was so close to her.
She kept talking; Stuart found her noisy. Talking behind someone's back also showed poor character.
After dropping Claudia off, Josephine helped her carry her luggage upstairs.
Claudia felt very ashamed. She apologized, "Josephine, I'm sorry."
"Why say that?" Josephine adjusted her collar and patted her. She suggested, "Get some rest. I'll treat you tomorrow."
Claudia asked, "Will he argue with you?"
"No," Josephine said, "Don't worry. I'm living with Andrew now; he wouldn't dare."
He definitely would argue.
However, there was no need for Claudia to know that.
She went downstairs, got in the car, and didn't even look at Stuart.
Stuart grumbled, "The space is too small. Can the seat be adjusted?"
Josephine said, "Yes, you can adjust it yourself."
"I don't know how," Stuart said, "This isn't my car; I don't know where the adjustment is."
Josephine glanced over.
His long legs were cramped, looking quite uncomfortable.
However, even if the seat was adjusted, his long legs would still have little room in this small car.
Josephine said, "You chose to come along, so deal with it."
Despite her words, she leaned over to adjust the seat for him.
The adjustment switch was on Stuart's right side, so Josephine practically had to lie on top of him.
She found the switch, and the seat slowly moved back. She asked, "Is that better?"
Looking up, she noticed Stuart's expression was off.
Josephine belatedly realized the sensation under her hand was unusual.
She looked down and saw her other hand pressing between Stuart's legs.
In just that moment, Stuart had reacted; she could clearly feel it under her hand.
Josephine's hand recoiled as if burned.
She quickly tried to get up, but Stuart grabbed her. "He said, Tease me and then try to run?"
Who teased him!
Josephine pushed him. She demanded, "Let go!"
Stuart asked, "You threw yourself at me and took advantage of me; now want to leave?"
Josephine retorted, "Who took advantage of you?"
Stuart held her hand. He quipped, "You touched such a private place; isn't that taking advantage?"
"You!" Josephine was furious. She asked, "What do you want?"
"Nothing much," Stuart said, "You touched me, so I'll touch you back. Fair, right?"
Not fair at all!
Josephine was about to curse. She questioned him, "Is sex the only thing on your mind?"
Stuart held her, not letting her go. He remarked, "With a body like yours, once we're divorced, I won't get to hold you anymore. So, I can't let myself miss out now."
Josephine didn't expect him to say such things. Even though she knew he saw her as a tool for his desires, hearing it so bluntly, disregarding her feelings and dignity, was shocking.
Josephine took a deep breath. She said calmly, "Fine, let go of me. Let's go home first."
Stuart said, "Isn't it more exciting in the car? I remember you liked it last time."
"Shut up!" Josephine wanted to slap him. She insisted, "Go home!"
Stuart was just teasing her.
The car was parked outside, not in a private garage.
Besides, Josephine's car didn't have the privacy features his cars did.
Maybe he should get Josephine a new car.
He let her go and casually asked, "Are you working tomorrow?"
Josephine had been working every other day recently.
She worked today, so she didn't have to work tomorrow.
However, she planned to treat Claudia tomorrow and had promised to have dinner with Laura and Liam.
Josephine replied, "Not working, but I have plans."
"What plans?" Stuart asked, "No time at all?"
"Do you have something?" Josephine asked.
"Morning or afternoon," Stuart said, "Give me half a day."
Josephine was about to say something when Stuart added, "Or we can discuss what Claudia said earlier."
Josephine frowned. She relented, "Fine, tomorrow morning."
Stuart was satisfied. He said smugly, "See, that wasn't so hard."
Josephine started the car and angrily drove home.
Andrew was already resting. He had been meeting many people these days and was tired.
Josephine walked ahead; Stuart occasionally glanced at her.
She was clearly angry, her lips slightly pouting, looking full and moist.
Upstairs, as soon as Josephine entered the house, she was pulled back. A tall figure pressed down on her; Stuart kicked the door shut.
He pinned her against the door and kissed her.
Josephine wasn't short, but she seemed petite in front of the tall Stuart.
Stuart enveloped her, kissing her, lifting one of her legs to wrap around his waist.
"Hold on tight." his voice was low and husky. He teased, "I won't be responsible if you fall."
No matter how she struggled, it only excited him more.
"Claudia said what? She wants to introduce you to a man?" Stuart's tone was icy. He asked, "If you didn't have such thoughts, she wouldn't act on them. Josephine, am I not satisfying you? Is that why you're thinking about others?"
Josephine glared at him. She quipped, "Even if I think about it, it's just thoughts. Unlike you, Mr. Haustia, who has not only a first love but also a mistress. So impressive!"
Stuart sneered, "Anyone would think you're jealous."
Josephine would never admit she was jealous.
She said, "And you? Telling me not to think about others, are you jealous too?"
Stuart's face darkened. He stubbornly denied, "Impossible! I could never be jealous because of you. Josephine, you should be grateful your body is still useful."
Josephine closed her eyes. She shot back, "Fine, Mr. Haustia has a good body too. I won't lose out."
Stuart gritted his teeth. He said, "You really need to be taught a lesson!"
