Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1161

Josie was injured, and for a good while, Arnold ceased to bother her. Perhaps he knew he was in the wrong, having broken the rules, and was intentionally waiting for her wounds to heal.

Her arm was injured, greatly slowing down the progress of the design sketches. Seeing that she couldn't even lift her hand, Lachlan simply told her to forget it and focus on her recovery first.

Josie, seated in his office, half-jokingly asked, “What, are you taking on the responsibilities from Mr. Mills' side for me?”

Lachlan set down his cup of coffee. “Aren't you close with him? Alice, I've noticed that your connections back home are more extensive than I've imagined.”

Josie's smile faded. “They're all entanglements from the past.”

“Even if you don't seek help from Robyn, Dexter will sort things out for you, right?” Lachlan sounded somewhat jealous. It seemed he had heard quite a bit about the situation.

Josie didn't plan to always rely on Dexter. Paul's medicine was almost finished, and she had to take the initiative.

“Lachlan, you've crossed the line.”

Her expression was unreadable, and Lachlan realized this. He nodded, then retrieved a salve from the cabinet and placed it before her. “This will be beneficial for your wound. Give it a try,” he suggested.

Just then, a commotion arose from outside. Laura had arrived, bringing with her an abundance of pastries, which stirred a wave of excitement among the employees.

Josie didn't take the salve; instead, she walked straight out.

In the crowd, Laura spotted Josie. She approached her and asked, “Why are you still working despite being injured? Doesn't your wound hurt?”

“Quit acting!” Josie laughed lightly. “Would you have come here if you knew I wasn't around?”

Her straightforwardness made Laura feel somewhat embarrassed. “I heard about the incident at the country club. How did your final check-up go? I was worried, so I came to see you.”

Josie rested her hands on the railing, gazing down at the river view.

“Arnold learned about the news so quickly that night. Was it you who informed him?”

At that moment, Josie's phone rang. Mallory had sent a message that read: Guess who got suspended from the country club.

Josie replied: Who?

Mallory answered: The country club owner. Guess who the owner is.
