Still Loving You Nonetheless

At the sight of the spilled red wine on the floor, Miss Josie asked carefully, “Sir, did Merelyn do something that upset you? I’ll apologize…” “There’s no need for that.” Josiah interrupted her and ordered, “Have her serve more customers, and, starting from this moment, she is not allowed to leave the club until she clears her debt for this bottle of red wine.” Josiah then walked toward the door. “No!” Meredith ran toward him, grabbed the sleeves of his shirt, and begged, “Sir, I can’t be locked up here! I…my family is in the hospital and I have to take care of her, please, I beg you…

Meredith was crying now.

Puzzled, Josiah arched his brows. “Family? You still have family?” From what he knew, the Leightons had cut ties with her when he pressured them to do so three years ago “Yes…” Meredith sniffled.; “Tell me, who else do you have?” “My…my mom.” Wiping away the tears on her face with the back of her hand, she added, “My mom had not been well since she was kicked out from the family. Sir, my mom had always liked you and treated you well. You…shouldn’t do this to her.”

“Is there anyone in Jehovah City that doesn’t like me? So what? That didn’t stop them from stabbing me in the back.” Josiah pushed away from her hands and continued walking out. Meredith froze. What should she do?

What about Nia? Not only was she losing her salary, but she was also losing her freedom. Miss Josie did not know what to say. Putting her hands on Meredith’s shoulders, she said,” Merelyn, I’m sorry that you got entangled with Mister Josiah.” “Ma’am, you have to help me. I really can’t be locked up in here.” With tears rolling down her cheeks, Meredith begged. Miss Josie shook her head. “The only way that I can help is to have you serve customers that are slightly better. As for the rest, I really can’t do anything about them.” After Miss Josie left, Meredith felt a churning pain in her stomach and at the same time, nauseated.
