Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1297

Maverick's eyes widened. He was momentarily confused. He didn't recognize Dexter until he approached him.

The wine glass he was holding dropped to the floor, splintering into fragments that scattered onto Josie's legs.

“You...”

At that moment, someone recognized Dexter. “Dexter Russell? It's Dexter Russell! What is he doing here?”

Felix had already turned around, closing the door behind him. His demeanor suggested that he was about to take care of some matters.

Josie's gaze was unfocused, and her thoughts were clouded by the effects of alcohol.

“M-Mr. Russell, why have you come in person? I... wasn't informed.”

Maverick reacted quickly, but the alcohol was still affecting him. His thoughts were becoming lucid, but not entirely.

“We truly apologize for the oversight. Please have a seat.”

Dexter directed his gaze at Josie, who appeared to be in a stupor. His eyes seemed to harbor a tempest, emanating a daunting presence that appeared to decrease the atmospheric pressure around him.

The person he couldn't stand to inflict even the slightest harm upon was now here suffering the utmost indignities.

Just as everyone was unsure of what was going on, Dexter suddenly smirked. He adjusted his tie and casually took a seat among the crowd. His voice was low and cold as he said, “The Olsen family's drinking culture is quite wolfish.”

Anyone could tell that this was a welcoming gift for the daughter who had returned to the Olsen family.

“Mr. Russell... Ms. Warren insisted on drinking. She said it was to apologize for her own lack of consideration. If you don't believe me, you can ask her. Isn't that right, everyone?”

Most of the people present had sobered up significantly. They were all aware of the relationship between Dexter and Josie, but what took them by surprise was that Dexter would stand up for his ex-wife without any hesitation.

Apart from overseeing the operations of Russell Group, he had been out of public view for a considerable period. Surprisingly, his reappearance was for Josie.
