Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 81

The whole bathroom was filled with steam as heat permeated throughout the shower room. Through its blurry glass door, one could see how hormones dictated the impulsive behavior of a woman as her tender body leaned against the back of a man.

"I thought I could wait for you forever. I'll always be by your side, but it's different now. Everleigh is back. Theodore, I'm really afraid."

Her sobbing voice was mixed with the sound of running water, hinting at her hidden fear.

Josephine had been doing a good job at hiding this side of her from Theodore.

It was easier for a weak woman to gain a man's pity, especially when she told a man that she could not live without him or when she would do everything just for him.

Many men would lose their minds under such pressure.

The sound of running water inside the bathroom stopped abruptly as Theodore turned off the shower. Silence took over, making Josephine's sobbing all the more audible.

"Is this the reason why you tried to get rid of her from Ocpeace City?"

His voice carried a deep, emotionless and shuddering tone.

Josephine's sobbing stopped in an instant, "What?" "Didn't you pressure Mr. Lawson so that he would extend Everleigh's work suspension?"

The man's voice echoed in the spacious bathroom. His question sounded more like a verdict. He usually had all the answers to all of his questions.

"Theodore, I..."

Before Josephine could finish her sentence, her hands were pulled back. The force pushed her back by two steps, immediately separating her from the man in front of her.

Theodore wrapped his bath towel around his body. From the moment Josephine had entered the bathroom, he had not looked at her at all. Before he went out, he said coldly, "Put on your clothes. Let's talk outside."

Josephine's face darkened from humiliation as she watched Theodore leaving her mercilessly without even looking at her. Her heart was burning with hatred and envy towards Everleigh.

If it was not for Everleigh, Theodore would never treat her indifferently.

The night deepened as dark clouds covered the moon, blocking all traces of light from it. The pitch black sky unintentionally gave out a dull and unusual feeling.

Josephine had taken off her clothes before she entered the bathroom. By the time she came out, a bath towel was wrapped around her. To her dismay, Theodore was nowhere to be found inside his room. A gust from the open balcony blew against her. She looked towards its direction and found the back of a tall man. He held a lit cigarette and was deep in his thoughts. What was he thinking about? She would probably never find out.

Josephine found her clothes lying on the sofa. She hesitated, but in the end, she decided to pick them up and put them on.

She was aware that Theodore was never a patient man, especially if he had to deal with women. If it was not for her sensibility and good behavior, she would not have gotten to where she was now, regardless of how long she tried.

The wind was unforgiving at the balcony as it constantly blew at the lit cigarette held by the man. He had not smoked too much of the cigarette yet, but it was already half-spent.

"Theodore," Josephine's voice came from behind Theodore; her tone was nervous.

Theodore gave her a sidelong glance. When he saw that she was already dressed, his expression softened a little. "Go home early. I'll have a driver help you with that."

Josephine lowered her head, looking uneasy. "Yes, I admit it. Everleigh is still being suspended because of me. I want her out of Ocpeace City."

Theodore frowned.

In his mind, Theodore knew Josephine had all the qualifications to do what she had done. He hated it when his woman interfered with his affairs, but if he stood from her point of view, it was not hard to understand why Josephine would feel uneasy.

It made sense that she would do such a thing.
