Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1098

Inside the venue, Dexter couldn't reach Josie on the phone and decided to leave.

The speech had ended, and Arnold stepped off the stage, blocking the path of the man who was leaving. "Mr. Russell, we meet again."

"So, your speech was so enlightening that you plan to give me a private lesson, huh?" Dexter put away his phone, responding calmly without changing his expression.

"You must be joking. My modest skills are hardly worth showing off in front of you, Mr. Russell," Arnold said with a smirk. "From the moment I met you, I felt a connection. I wonder if I have the honor of having tea with you."

People were coming and going. A chilling glint flickered in Dexter's eyes. "If all you have is chamomile tea, then no thank you."

"There's more, of course."

In the secluded reception room, filled with vintage artifacts, the tea Arnold had prepared was no longer chamomile.

"Actually, Mr. Russell, the reason for inviting you today is not just for tea, but to watch a play."

Dexter toyed with the cup in his hand, his expression unreadable. "Is it the scenario I'm thinking of?"

"Let's see if we're on the same page." Arnold chuckled lightly, signaling his assistant to turn on the television.

It was a surveillance feed. In it, Josie was seen holding Scar hostage, surrounded by people.

Dexter furrowed his brow.

"Is it?" Arnold asked.

"You understand me as always, Mr. Mills."

Arnold began to laugh.

"Mrs. Carter, I can't say anything when you do this to me," Scar spoke with indifference.

"Then go ahead. Let them all kill me! The moment you lay a hand on me, my people will immediately spread the news! Go ahead and give it a try."

Scar took a deep breath. He dared not gamble anymore. He could only stare blankly in the direction of the surveillance camera.

The two individuals in the office could discern the helplessness and plea for help in his eyes.

Arnold didn't pay any attention to it. He chuckled and said to Dexter, "She has certainly grown up in the last two years."

Dexter's lips quirked up. He asked teasingly, "You know your subordinates. Do you think he will speak?"

"No one can deny the importance of their loved ones' lives. This only demonstrates that he possesses a sense of conscience."

"Are you not going to say anything?" Josie exerted more pressure.

Scar shut his eyes. "I will speak."
