Chapter 255 Who Did He Think He Is Sam escorted her to the door when they arrived at the villaâs courtyard and then. drove away.
Deirdre stretched out her arms to feel for the sofa when she heard the sound of a light being turned on upstairs. She looked in the direction of the second floor abruptly.
She was gauging who it was when she realized instantly after sensing the oppressive feeling they emanated.
âCome upstairs.â
Brendan spoke in an ice-cold tone. He opened the door to his room, and Deirdre braced herself and walked upstairs with stiff movements.
She was flung on the bed by force as soon as she entered the room. The man leaned on her, his cold eyes bursting with terrifying evilness.
âDeirdre, do you think that you can lord over me recklessly just because Iâve been treating you well over the past few days?â Brendan spoke in an icy tone. He was furious beyond comparison at the thought of the womanâs smile earlier. âI gave you freedom and tolerated you as much as I could, yet you ended up defending a man that you were just acquainted with for less than half an hour? Youâre really capable of accepting anyone. It was fine when it was Sterling, but that man? Who does he think he is?!â
He said in a mocking tone, âOr are you trying to prove your charm after your disfigurement by exhausting every means possible to seduce a man?â
Deirdreâs face turned pale all of a sudden. Her chest was burning in reaction to Brendanâs insult and lack of trust.
âHave you lost your mind?â
She shoved Brendan, her chest hurting from anger. âI am disfigured but Iâm not shameless enough to seduce a man at my workplace! Itâs fine that youâre filthy and vile deep inside, but why do you have to imagine that everyone is as insufferable as you!â
âIâm vile and filthy deep inside?â
Brendan sneered. I have indulged her so much that she has now turned into a sharp- tongued woman.â
âYou shall experience how vile and filthy I am then.â
The next afternoon, Deirdre woke up and felt coldness filling her chest at the thought. of everything that had taken place yesterday.
The manâs coldness and unscrupulous behavior felt like knives slashing her body. She pulled the blanket around her body tighter and heard a knock on the door.
âMay I come in, Deirdre?â
It was Maeveâs voice. Deirdre hastily composed herself, calmed down, and answered, âSure.â
Maeve entered the room and saw the conspicuous love bites on Deirdreâs neck. She immediately realized what had happened, smiled, and said, âI was just wondering. why you werenât awake yet. Sam has grown impatient from waiting downstairs, so I thought I would call out to you. Youâre going to be late for work.â
âWhat time is it?â
Deirdre only realized how hoarse her voice was after she spoke.
âItâs almost four.â
Deirdreâs pupils constricted. She struggled to get up from the bed while Maeve passed her an outfit. âI brought you an outfit. Put it on first.â
âSure.â
Deirdre kept her head lowered to hide her red eyes. After she got dressed, she went downstand and got into Samâs car to head to the restaurant.
The waitressâcomplaint yesterday had been effective because she was summoned into the managerâs office for a discussion as soon as she arrived at the restaurant.
The manager implied that he hoped that Deirdre would not be inattentive at work, as it was forbidden to offend a customer in the service industry.
âItâs fortunate that the customer didnât make a big fuss. Otherwise, I wouldnât be able to put an end to this incident if the boss found out about it.â He then said, âThe customers here are all influential figures.
You must be on guard at all times, and if this happens again, I will need to evaluate if you are fit to continue working here.â
The managerâs meaning was clear. She would be fired if this were to happen again.
Deirdre had never imagined that she would lose the job. It was highly possible that there were other reasons behind this apart from Brendanâs behavior.
She bit her lower lip tightly and promised, âDonât worry, sir. I promise that it wonât happen again. Iâll be careful.â
