After listening to what Julian Carter said, laughter deep and low escaped from Joshua Hughes' broad chest, wiping away the gloom he'd been feeling these past days. This was truly too funny; that woman had the audacity to make a demand that was simply unbelievable.
Damn it, you're fierce. Because of you, that woman made such a request, and I'm still laughing like this.
Julian Carter's face was livid. "Is it that funny?" he said through gritted teeth, nearly bursting with anger. He had never seen a boss like this; aside from being generous with money, he was severe to the point of being appalling. He'd run around for his boss's affairs, only for his boss to react like this. Did he even have an ounce of regard for his subordinates?
