Chapter 15
Irene had already set her mind on confronting Isaac, but she was more or less apprehensive about actually doing it.
Scenes of his violence still flashed in her mind!
Taking a deep breath, she mustered her courage and strode into the house, and she opened the door to find Mrs. Watson waiting for her, smiling. “Welcome back.”
“Yeah,” Irene murmured as she peeked inside, spotting a figure on the couch but not his face.
“Mr. Jefferson is in,” Mrs. Watson said then.
Irene changed into loafers before entering, forcing a smile as she offered a greeting. “Mr. Jefferson.”
Isaac lowered the magazine he was reading to look at her and chuckled. “Mr. Jefferson?‘”
She was refusing to divorce him, and yet trying to act distant?
Was she playing hard to get?
Irene ignored it. Having apologized before, she said earnestly again, “I didn‘t mean to touch your stuff. I‘m sorry.”
“Did you really think that ‘sorry‘ would make me forgive you?” Isaac said, leaning back languidly on his couch and
folding his legs angrily.
For some reason, he was actually pleased that she had to speak respectfully and act so wary around him.
Bullying her was somehow amusing. If Irene knew what he was thinking, she would be cursing at him for being a deviant!
Sadly, the reality was that she was now a miserable worm who had to prostrate herself and beg for her survival.
Irene watched him for two seconds, and decided to brace herself and curry favor with him just to keep her job.
She brought him a cup of tea, smiling. “Mr. Jefferson, please don‘t hold a grudge over someone as insignificant as me.”
The smile on her face did not quite reach her eyes, and Isaac growled in disdain, “What an ugly smile.”
Irene was actually trying to relax her expression, but there was no way she could relax around him. Biting her lip, she worked hard to satisfy him and bent herself backward. “Sorry.”
