Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1013

After carrying the bag for a while, Josie's wrist began to ache. She handed everything over to Moses.

He immediately took it, looking at her tentatively, his gaze resembling that of a puppy.

Josie continued to walk ahead while Moses and the others followed closely behind, maintaining a brisk pace.

She said, "Take me to meet Dexter."

Russell Group was on high alert, with everyone in the building feeling threatened. When Josie set foot in the place once again, a sense of long-lost familiarity washed over her.

She had initially thought that she wouldn't have the opportunity to come back.

The lights in the penthouse office were bright. The secretary led Josie inside. As she looked up, she saw a mountain of files piled up on the desk, and various documents and items scattered around the rest of the space.

No one had cleaned up the mess.

The office was completely empty, yet the secretary didn't dare to proceed further. She cautiously said, "Mr. Russell should be in the lounge."

Taking a deep breath, Josie decided to go in.

The atmosphere within the room was oppressive. The door to the lounge was half-closed, and inside, it was pitch black, devoid of any light.

Earlier, in the car, Moses had been like a child tattling to their parents, telling Josie many things about Dexter.

He talked about how Dexter negotiated with major shareholders, how he kept the project going under immense pressure, and how he stood firm against the media without giving an inch.

All of those required tremendous mental strength, yet Dexter single-handedly shouldered everything, not revealing a shred of it while she was recovering.

"Josie, to be honest, if nothing had gone wrong on the wedding day, Russell Group wouldn't have ended up in this vulnerable position again. That day, Mr. Russell still insisted that we do everything in our power to bring Justin back. He's been drinking quite a lot lately due to social obligations, which led to gastrointestinal bleeding. Josie..." said Moses.

Josie stood at the doorway, suddenly overwhelmed by a profound sense of helplessness.
