Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1254

Josie nodded gently. “I know. Thank you for liking me.”

The boy was instantly exhilarated, his face lighting up with excitement. “Can I take a picture with you, miss? I've been a fan of yours since your first work in Sumanthova. I never thought I'd meet you here.”

Josie's lips curved into a smile. “Are you also a designer now?”

“Yes. You are my goal.”

Josie chuckled. “Come on, then.”

She subtly shifted her body, positioning herself beside the boy. She watched as he raised his phone, his other hand resting lightly on her waist as he smiled at the camera.

He was overjoyed to have gotten a picture with her, bowing and thanking her repeatedly.

Following such a turn of events, Josie's mood significantly improved, the gloom from Shirley making things difficult for her earlier all but gone.

“Why did you take so long?” Laura, standing below the stage, asked with a laugh.

“I bumped into a fan.”

Josie was a touch embarrassed when she said that. Laura patted her on the shoulder. “They've already started on the stage, Maestro. In my opinion, their skills can't compare to yours.”

It was an impromptu work that wasn't meant to be taken seriously, but one could still discern a degree of skill from it.

After admiring the designers on the stage for a while, Josie suddenly noticed two slightly older elders in the center of the stage, who appeared calm and composed. “Who are they?”

“You don't know? They're veterans in this industry. They haven't produced much work in recent years, merely making appearances occasionally to mingle with the public. Oh yes, they're Shirley's aunt and uncle. So, I was genuinely frightened when you started contending with her just now.”

What contending? Clearly, she was one-sidedly putting me in a difficult position.

Upon giving it some thought, Josie recalled that there were indeed two experts with the family name of Ross in Wavery. Unexpectedly, they turned out to be Shirley's relatives.

“This cocktail party is hosted by them?”

If the Ross family were to learn that even the legitimate wife is here, they'd undoubtedly be beyond proud. No wonder Shirley was so arrogant just now.
