Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1178

Dexter was watching her.

In the end, Josie came clean, “What Arnold meant was he will no longer provide me with medicine if you make a move.”

Upon understanding, Dexter slightly bowed his body, filling up the glass with wine as he asked, “Knowing I would make a move, why did you still tell me?”

Even Josie herself didn't know how to respond. Indeed, she could act as a double agent, secretly serving Arnold while keeping Dexter in the dark. This way, the chances of obtaining the medicine would have been greater.

“Those goods are likely to devastate countless families. I didn't want to see that happen. If Paul were awake, he wouldn't have let me do this either,” Josie responded earnestly.

It was not so much about being noble. Since her family had fallen apart, she simply felt that she shouldn't ignore someone in need for her own benefit.

There was admiration in Dexter's tone as he asked, “Have you ever thought about why those higher-ups would reveal their plans in front of Arnold? Haven't they ever doubted this apparent 'Robyn'?”

Upon hearing this, Josie was taken aback. It was indeed strange. Wavery held Arnold in high regard, so it was impossible that they hadn't given him a heads up in advance.

“Why? Are you suggesting that there are moles among the higher-ups, deliberately leaking information about Vipera, to put it on alert?”

Dexter took a sip of his wine and said, “It's too early to draw conclusions now.”

“Would you take action, then?”

In fact, the dilemma had now fallen squarely on Dexter. Once he made a move, Josie would be exposed, and Arnold's probing would succeed.

“Do you want to make a move?” he asked all of a sudden, his eyes bright after having a drink, as he looked at her.

Josie furrowed her brows, momentarily at a loss. “Of course.”

“The answer is right here.”

Josie was puzzled, and as their eyes met, she realized what he meant. “I'll go.”

He tilted his head back to finish his drink, gently placing the empty glass on the table as he said, “The specifics need to be discussed with Scott and others. You need not worry. This matter will be resolved to the greatest extent possible.”
