Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1012

His eyes were pitch black, his gaze light and faint.

Josie's breath hitched, her mind going blank. She saw the man quickly avert his gaze as if he hadn't seen anything at all.

Immediately after, he casually replied, "Hmm, interesting. She seems like someone with a strong support system, who can act boldly and fears nothing."

Josie didn't have any hope for that company.

Every time she visited Rivodia, she would spend a night there. Her identity didn't attract as much attention as it did in Wavery, allowing her to act without any reservations.

She carried Paul's photo, inquiring everywhere.

She had a feeling that his disappearance was related to Rivodia.

That day, she was sitting in a small pasta restaurant, enjoying her meal, when she received a call from Scott. "Ms. Warren, are you free? I'd like to invite you for a meal."

Josie glanced at the pasta in front of her, grinning. "I'm eating. If you have anything you want to tell me, tell me on the phone."

"You've been quite popular lately. I thought you wouldn't answer my call," he joked.

Josie couldn't bring herself to laugh.

"Scar had disappeared for several months, only to reappear in Rivodia," Scott stated, getting straight to the point.

Josie halted abruptly. "Where?"

"Rivodia," Scott repeated. "I'm just informing you of the progress. I'll notify you if there are any further developments. By the way, where are you now?"

Rivodia. Josie didn't respond directly. She pursed her lips. "Sergeant Buncho, I'm hanging up now."

As the sun was setting, the television in the restaurant was broadcasting financial news. She glanced at it absentmindedly, only to suddenly catch sight of Dexter's figure.

He appeared on television during a broadcasted meeting. His eyes resembled a serene spring, forever restrained and calm.

That was the first time she had seen Dexter's figure again after so many days.

However, the content of the broadcast was not good news for him. After Josie listened carefully, she roughly understood.

At the time, Dexter held forty-nine percent of the shares, and so did Isaac.

Josie replied word by word: I apologize, but I might have to postpone for two days.
