Josephine stared straight at the elevator buttons, not even bothering to glance back. Her voice was cold when she asked, "What's there to talk about?"
"It's about us, of course."
"There's nothing left for us to talk about. If you have something to say, take it up with Mr. Brown."
The mention of their divorce lawyer immediately darkened Zayn's expression. "Don't bring him up again. Him—and that driver from yesterday—if I see them again, I'll beat them up. Every. Single. Time."
Josephine shot him a sharp look. "What the hell is wrong with you? If I had your skills, I'd just punch whoever annoyed me too."
"You don't need them. Just tell me who you want to punch, and I'll do it for you."
"Oh?" Josephine's voice dripped with sarcasm as she met his gaze. "Alright then, I want to beat Nadine to a pulp."
Zayn froze.
Her lips curled into a mocking smile. "Look at you, all freaked out. Relax. I was just kidding. How could I have the nerve to punch your sweetheart? You'd probably come running to avenge her, and I'm not up for that fight."
All of a sudden, he pulled her into his arms and murmured, "You're the only one who matters to me…"
"Let go of me!" Josephine shoved him away, disgusted by his sickly sweet words.
Right then, the elevator doors opened, and she stormed out without a backward glance.
