Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 10

“Josie, let’s have lunch together.” Alice, Josie’s colleague, called out to her.

“Coming.” Josie hummed in response and switched off her laptop.

Right when they turned a corner, an unexpected guest showed up, which caused the smile on Josie’s face to disappear at once.

“Josie.”

Jenny’s voice was indifferent so that one couldn’t tell her emotions, but Josie knew she must be up to no good to come and find her in the office at this hour.

Josie asked Alice to go ahead first while she and Jenny went to the balcony.

“What is it?” Josie asked directly.

Jenny blurted mercilessly, “Don’t play dumb, Josie. Regarding your brother’s wedding I mentioned last time, you have to fork out the money as soon as possible.”

“I’ve told you – I have no money. There’s nothing I can do to help.”

“Josie, don’t force me to cross the line. If you wish to continue working here peacefully, you better give me the money. Otherwise, you shall bear the consequence.” Jenny threatened coldly.

Josie clenched her fists as her face darkened. Jenny ignored her and continued, “Since you’ve gotten married, the in-laws should more or less give some betrothal gifts. I’m not asking for much – ten thousand. As long as you give it to me, I’ll help you settle things with Jack. Otherwise, all I want is the money; I reckon Jack is more than willing to give that to me.”

“That’s enough.” Josie retorted. “No matter what you do, my reply is the same – I have no money.”

With that, Josie turned and left, leaving Jenny, who stood stiffened at the spot. Her chest was heaving. She never thought that Josie would still turn her down after she went all out.

Very well, Josie. Don’t blame me, then.

“You’ll regret this, Josie.” Jenny scoffed with a sly look.

Little did they know that a figure walked out slowly from the corner right after they left. The woman wore a smirk on her face that was filled with surprise.

So, Josie is actually married.

Josie lost her appetite after the episode with Jenny, so she had a quick lunch and went back to the office.

However, when she entered the office, she noticed many were secretly gazing at her while discussing among themselves.

“I can’t believe she’s someone like this.”

“She’s already married, so it must be true. This shows that she has been dating someone before this but has been pretending that she was single.”
