"How do you expect me to answer your calls when you treat me like nothing?" Joanna raged, leaving Alex dumbfounded.
"Excuse me?" He was getting everything in reverse, waving away the waiter assigned to serve them for the night.
Alex wanted Joanna to be well taken care of without developing any emotions for him, so where did he go wrong?
Joanna let out a frustrated sigh before she began to lash out. "Tell me, am I just a random woman or your wife?" She was not afraid of showing her anger, which was still surprising to Alex.

"I've never treated you like a random woman."
