Chapitre 39: Beethoven and "Jingle Bells"

The big wall clock alongside them made a regular sound. The air reeked off a faint smell of cigars that came from Joseph.

This special smell mixed with his evil and aggressive male aura, which made Isabella extremely nervous.

"Last night..." Joseph said.

"If you want to smoke, let me help you!"

Before Joseph could speak, Isabella interrupted him, being afraid that Joseph would mention the fact that she hit him.

"My grandfather doesn't allow me to smoke in your presence."

Joseph tilted his eyes and sneered, "Isabella, you really want to set me up every second..."

"No!"

Isabella hurriedly denied, "How could I be so immoral? I didn't know that Charlie is so upright! Don't think so badly of me! Take it easy!"

"Take it easy..." Joseph snorted coldly, "Take what easy? Well, you remind me. Since I'm bored, why don't we have something exciting?"

"Exciting?"

Isabella paused. An arm hooked around her and she was pulled into Joseph's embrace.
