The End of Us

Chapter 5.

Tim felt his heart quiver.

How eerie!

"Complete parking?" questioned Anaya.

Tim gave a nod. He continued to eye Joshua suspiciously, fearing that the latter might come over and stomp all over his head.

"Leave now."

Joshua obstructed Anaya and Tim's path as they entered.

Will he be your next victim? I take it that he is a toy for boys? You are starting to lose interest in guys.

Tim was the "him" in question.

Joshua felt a wave of guilt as soon as he spoke in that manner.

It seemed as though he was envious.

"Tim is a great guy," Anaya replied, her smile vanishing. Please refrain from passing judgement on others. Furthermore,

"My taste for men is always bad, else why do you think I can marry you the bastard?" Anaya asked as she moved to stand at Joshua's side.

Then, Anaya entered the hotel's hallway without turning around.

Tim followed quickly since he thought Joshua was still staring at him, which made him feel scared and nervous.

Joshua kept his eyes fixed on the two until they entered the lift and vanished.

"Jamar, I want all that man's information," Joshua then gave the command.

Jamar nodded, a peculiar light flickering in his eyes as he said yes.

I apologise for keeping you waiting, Mr. Chowne.

Devin was sitting in the room when Anaya entered.

"Even I just got here. Devin got to his feet and pleaded, "Ms. Dutt, please.

Anaya sat down.

The two exchanged pleasantries. "Ms. Dutt appears quite young, but I feel you must be extremely experienced; otherwise, Mr. Dutt, your grandfather, will not grant this assignment to you," replied Devin, taking a sip of coffee.

In an indirect way, Anaya sensed Devin was doubting her abilities. Devin did not think she was a wise decision. for collaboration.

beside Anaya.

Jamar suddenly had an idea.

Not a single proof? How come I can not make any?

Anaya was shocked to see Joshua as she left the hotel.

It seems like Joshua was waiting for someone.

Joshua approached Anaya even though she wanted to turn away and ignore him. Standing next to Joshua would likely cause someone to freeze to death due to his extremely chilly aura.

How come he was still upset? Anaya pondered. Even after she ate a healthy lunch, Joshua refused to calm down.

Anaya paused, waiting for Joshua to arrive.

She was feeling upbeat and had no desire to verbally abuse Joshua any longer.

Joshua surprised Anaya by approaching and giving her a slap.

Luckily, Anaya retreated quickly and missed the onslaught by a short margin.

It was challenging. The slap created a breeze that blew in Anaya's face.

3/4

Joshua had to have thrown all into that slap.

Should it fall across her face...

Good on you, Joshua! You know how to get the better of a woman. Fearful and icy were Anaya's eyes.

Joshua had also hit her in a past life.

However, that was following Lexie's return to the nation.

Anaya had changed, but she dared not resist at that moment.

Even if the cops would take her away, Anaya would not bite off a chunk of Joshua's flesh if he succeeded in slapping her.

With Anaya's comments, Joshua became somewhat composed. He pulled back his hand. However, his demeanour remained gloomy, and he appeared as though he was a ticking time bomb.

"Anaya, you seem like the right choice! I wanted to know why you desired a divorce. It appears that you have already become involved with someone else! Well done!
