Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1357

Laura looked down and forced a smile. “Stop kidding around. Old Mr. Olsen didn't give me any heads up.”

With a hint of apology in her voice, Josie said, “I'm to blame. You know how I am. I often act on impulse, just showing up without warning. But telling you now, it's not too late.”

Only then did Laura reach out to take the piece of paper. Josie's position was written clearly on the paper. As it turned out, Josie was Laura's special assistant.

Seeing that, Laura smirked. “So, they're sending you to keep an eye on me, huh?”

With her hands clasped behind her, Josie said playfully, “How could that be? The last project wrapped up smoothly, and I found it quite addictive. So, I want to dive in again.”

Laura's smile was somewhat obscure. “What about your design? Aren't you working on it anymore?”

“You know, I've won awards both nationally and internationally. It's not as exciting anymore. Venturing into new areas could be quite interesting.” Josie innocently asked, “Do you not welcome me?”

“Oh, that's not it. I've told you before, you're welcome anytime.”

After Laura finished speaking, she ordered someone, “Prepare an office for Ms. Warren.”

Ms. Warren... Josie smiled and said, “There's no need for all that fuss. I think this place is quite nice. Just put a desk for me right here in this corner. It will be convenient for you to call me. I'll be at your service whenever you need.”

Laura frowned. “I'm not sure this is a good idea. If we put your desk here and Old Mr. Olsen finds out, I'll be the one getting scolded.”

“What's wrong with that? I came here to be an assistant, not the boss.”

From her words, it seemed as though Josie was really there to gain experience.

In less than half a day, the news had spread throughout the entire corporation. A special assistant had suddenly appeared alongside Laura. This assistant, it turned out, was the daughter that Mark had been searching for.

Suddenly, everyone had a clear understanding of what it meant.

Those who had never taken sides before all flocked to the rooftop, using various pretexts to catch a glimpse of this person named Josie.

In essence, the employees thought Mark intended to use Josie as a means to intimidate Laura.

When Josie heard this gossip, she just laughed it off and said, “Being considered a decorative piece isn't so bad. At least it proves that I'm beautiful.”

They were blissfully engaged with each other, oblivious to the fact that Laura, who had been observing everything from within the office, was wearing a heavy expression.

So many days had passed without any news. Even Laura was becoming restless. What on earth is going on?

The following Monday, as per usual, the meeting commenced at nine o'clock.

During that period, there were numerous voices of apprehension.
