Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 103

Chapter 103 She's Gorgeous, but Are You? 

The streetlight shone into the car, illuminating the sinister look of the man – it was Arnold. 

Propping his elbow on the car window, he examined the woman behind Dexter and teased, “What a coincidence to meet you again, Miss.” 

Josie was caught off guard being recognized by Arnold and felt her scalp tingling as he stared at her. “We meet again, Mr. Carter.” 

Placing his hands at the back, Dexter looked down upon Arnold and uttered, “I should be honored that you came to Mandarin Oriental the moment you returned to Wavery.” 

Arnold chuckled with a hint of anger. “The news of you getting all worked up for a woman has spread in the circle. Of course, I have to come and support your business. 

Josie carefully observed the two men’s expressions. She thought Dexter had handled the matter but didn’t expect it to have spread. At the same time, she was worried about becoming the target of public attention. 

Dexter’s expression was indiscernible, but he seemed unaffected by Arnold’s remark. “I didn’t expect you to believe the rumors.” 

“I didn’t believe it, but seeing this lady standing behind you just happened to catch my eye.” Arnold smiled and asked Josie, “Are you here today to report to Dexter also?” 

Josie gazed at him. I’m here with Mr. Russell to attend to some work matters.” 

Arnold appeared to be a playboy, seemingly unpretentious, but people like him were more dangerous because one couldn’t tell their evil intentions. 

“Miss Warren, have you read War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy?” 

Josie didn’t understand why Arnold asked the sudden question. “I’ve not read it, but I have a rough idea of the plot.” 

“But are you familiar with the romance between Prince Andrei and Natasha?” 

Josie stole a glance at Dexter’s expression while contemplating how to answer Arnold. “Only the gist of it. 

“Despite his father’s objection and his poor health, Prince Andrei still proposed to Natasha, only to be betrayed later on. In my opinion, it shows how deeply in love he is. You’re lucky to be Natasha, Miss Warren.” Arnold commented with a mysterious smile.
