"Honey, how's the wound on your head? Does it still hurt? Joshua and I came to apologize. We even made your favorite beef soup."
She handed me a thermos with concern, then coquettishly added, "Honey, please don't be angry anymore, okay?"
Smack! I raised my hand and smacked the thermos away.
The soup was now splashed everywhere.
Seeing this, Cindy's face was filled with shock and she immediately burst into tears of grief.
Behind her, Joshua glared angrily and tried to argue with me, but she stopped him.
Several employees began to murmur. "I really don't know what the boss is thinking. Just because the boss's wife bought egg yolk custard tarts, he's being so aggressive, threatening to divorce her."
"Yeah, the boss's wife keeps compromising and trying to please him, but it's useless. Maybe the boss already has someone else and she's making a scene on purpose."
"By the way, Joshua is a really good brother. Yesterday, he stood up for the boss's wife and even got into a fight with the boss."
Hearing this, the customers' gazes toward me gradually turned to disgust.
They said they might know me, but not with my heart. They even said that I disguised myself too well, but I was actually a real jerk.
I remained cold and kept urging Cindy to leave.
But Joshua suddenly dropped to his knees before me with a thud. "Noah. Please, don't blame Cindy. I got into a fight with you yesterday because I was impulsive. If you want to punish me today, just take it out on me!"
Everyone who witnessed Joshua's action gave him a thumbs-up. They thought he was kind-hearted and highly responsible. At the same time, they saw me as lacking integrity and being far too petty.
Cindy clenched her fists. She hoped I would let it end here and not cause any more trouble.
Yet, with a look of utter disgust on my face, I turned away, fetched a basin of water and directly threw it all over Joshua.
Everyone was stunned.
Cindy's beautiful eyes widened in an instant and she flared up in anger. "Noah! Have you lost your mind? Joshua is kneeling before you and this is how you treat him?"
"He deserves it." I smiled coldly, without a trace of regret on my face.
This made Cindy tremble with rage; she staggered back several steps, nearly collapsing to the ground.
Joshua wiped his face and was just about to speak when his phone rang.
