Chapter 929
After Maisie was busy at work for a while, David came and greeted her in her office.
Subconsciously, David's presence reminded Maisie of the sex with Ezra. If David had not set up the dinner with Steven, Ezra would not be there, and thus, would not drink a lot (neither did her), and Maisie would not have had sex with Ezra last night. Turning the clock further back to the days when David had not sent Ezio's photos furtively to Ezra's father, it was obvious that Ezra would not have known Ezio and gone to Grafstin to find her and the story ended.
David was such a brother who would spoil rather than accomplish things.
Therefore, she shook her hands at David, frowning with impatience, "Go back to your office and don't show up again."
Otherwise, she would let her fists do the talking.
As a sister, Maisie had never lashed out at David, nor had bullied or beat him, since they were kids. But now, when she thought over the stupid things that David had done over these days, Maisie regretted not beating him hard.
But in reality, David had changed her life completely.
David was depressed due to Maisie's ruthlessness. He walked over and leaned on Maisie's desk, asking worriedly, "Maisie, what's up? What happened?"
Before Maisie could say anything, David became angry. "You're not being bullied by Ezra, are you?"
Maisie looked at her brother.
Ezra did "bully" her for the whole freaking night, thanks to David.
Out of anger, Maisie grabbed a folder next to her to hit David on his should. "You don't need to worry about me. Go back to your office and work!"
It was a gentle hit aiming to frighten David out of her office.
David looked at her in astonishment, murmuring, "Maisie…"
Maisie was about to say something, yet she found Julian standing at the door of her office. She was embarrassed to let Julian witness the stupid sibling fights.
"Good morning, Mr. Hughes." Maisie put down the folder in her hand and stood up to greet Julian.
David also turned around and greeted Julian reverently, "Good morning, Mr. Hughes."
Julian glanced at Maisie and David, and said to Maisie at last, "Come to my office."
Then he walked away.
Julian knew from the bickering that Maisie was in a bad mood, too, due to last night. She was not indifferent, so Ezra was not the only one who was depressed.
Maisie glared at David and followed Julian to his office, leaving David in her office rubbed his shoulder, frustrated.
Although Maisie did not hit him hard, it was the first time Maisie hit him - that was hurt.
David thought to himself in a huff, "Ezra must irritate Maisie!"
He went out of Maisie's office and back to his. As soon as he sat down, he called Ezra, "Did you bully my sister?"
Ezra acknowledged on the phone languidly, "Yes. Violently."
When David heard this, he was on fire. "Ezra, I'll let my sister divorce you right now!"
No wonder Maisie threw a tantrum at him this morning. That explained everything and Ezra was behind this. David had long known that Ezra was a bad guy, who showed his true color just after a few days of living with Maisie.
Faced with David's rage, Ezra said calmly, "On the bed."
David was struck dumb, not knowing he was embarrassed or angry.
Stunned for a while, David cursed, "What? Are you insane? What a shameless piece of shit!"
Ezra sneered, "Since you put me in guilt, I must be convinced of it. Right?"
"Psychopath," David was furious.
"David, I've got something on you. Believe it or not, I will immediately tell your sister about the girl." Ezra started to warn David.
Ezra was sure that David did not want Maisie to know about it because she would have sympathy for him.
David was not in a situation where he loved someone, yet the other one did not love him back; instead, David was scared. That girl was sincere and kind, though a bit straightforward. Obviously, David loved her, but he always betrayed his feelings and stayed where he was.
Ezra guessed that David was probably abased by his origin and his parents, and thus, he flinched.
David was mad at Ezra, "You're really despicable!"
David was confused about how Ezra knew about his secret and how Ezra found out the girl he had been hiding it well all these years.
Ezra ignored David's curse. "I don't care what you do. You must get Steven out of my life."
On second thought, Ezra changed his mind. "Forget it. It might be good for me if he stays."
Thanks to Steven and the dinner last night, Ezra spent a wonderful night with Maisie. Despite the fleeing Maisie today, Ezra didn't lose anything in the end.
David felt Ezra was fickle and abnormal, so he simply hung up the phone.
In Julian's office, Julian talked with Maisie about work instead of Ezra. After all, Maisie was not familiar with many changing policies after a long absence from the job. Julian filled Maisie in with these things, which meant, Julian thought highly of Maisie.
Maisie was deeply touched and swore in her heart that she would never mess with her work, no matter what happened in the future.
Maisie went out after they finished their talk. Maisie sighed with relief since Julian didn't talk about Ezra, which was a lucky surprise; otherwise, she would be quite embarrassed.
During the break, Maisie brewed herself a cup of coffee and powered on the phone nervously. She was afraid of Ezra's calls since he must be in great anger.
But Maisie could not keep her phone off all day, because she was worried about her son and Daisy. She wondered whether Daisy had successfully 'escaped' with her son. If Ezra did not allow them to move or kept Ezio, it would be a big problem.
As soon as Maisie thought of the possibility that Ezra kept her son, she dialed Daisy's number. Maisie left in such a hurry this morning that she had not even considered this.
