Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1141

As she spoke, she briskly walked over to the car, slid into the seat, and slammed the door shut.

“Are you f*cking satisfied now?” Josie ripped off her earpiece and threw it on the ground.

Arnold was still smiling. “I wasn't joking just now. Charles is no small fry, Josie. You are of great importance.”

“Thanks. For your mess, I've exhausted the connection that could have ensured a lifetime of wealth and prosperity for me!”

Josie was genuinely furious. If it weren't for Arnold's threats, she could have kept Charles as a resource for any future emergencies, instead of acting so rashly.

“Can he protect you?” Arnold sneered disdainfully, “He's just a mayor for now, but in a couple of years, he won't be. The one who can truly protect you is...”

He drew out his words, finally giving up. “Forget it.”

Just then, Josie's phone chimed. It was a message from Charles confirming that everything had been arranged. They were to meet the day after tomorrow for two hours.

She handed it over to Arnold, her thoughts drifting until she broke into a laugh. “I'm quite curious. How are you going to pull off dressing as a woman?”

Arnold glanced around, a plan forming in his mind. “Want to know?”

She remained silent.

“Stop hanging around with Dexter. Come with me instead. You'll understand in due time.”

When Josie stepped out of Arnold's car, Laura was still standing in the same spot, her skirt billowing in the wind. She was seemingly lost in thought.

Josie waved at her and quickly drove off in her own car.

Late that night, Dexter was still awake. He sat on the carpet, leisurely sorting through Grape's toys, thoroughly enjoying himself.

Upon hearing the sound, he didn't lift his head. “Is it done?”

“Yes. Everything went smoothly with Laura and Charles. The meeting is set for the day after tomorrow. We'll have two hours.” Josie quickly stepped forward, not understanding. “Will Arnold personally attend?”
