Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1391

Morgan would be willing to accept a deal only if it benefited him.

Josie took the elevator up to the top floor. She stared at her emotionless reflection in the mirror. Over the years, she had interacted mainly with businessmen, individuals devoid of emotions. She was gradually becoming numb to it all.

Laura was not there. Only the office housekeeper was present, tidying up the office.

Upon seeing her, the other party was somewhat taken aback and frightened. “Ms. Warren...”

Josie chuckled. “What are you afraid of? I don't bite.”

The other party swallowed hard, choosing not to comment.

“Where's Ms. Brandel?”

“She had some errands to run, so she went out.”

Josie, holding a contract in her hand, nodded slightly. “I'll give her a call.”

The phone rang on the other end for a good thirty seconds before it was finally picked up. Laura's breathless voice came through. “Hey... Josie.”

“What's that sound over there?”

“I'm hiking with a client. He's so difficult to handle.”

“Hector asked me to bring up the contract. It needs your seal.”

“Just leave it there. I'll seal it when I get back.”

“We need to hurry. The contract signing is soon.”

It seemed as though Laura was still catching her breath, fragmented sounds escaping from her mouth as she tried her best to hold back.

She didn't have much capacity for thought and said, “The official seal is in the second drawer of the desk. Seal it yourself.”

Josie had a vague idea of what was happening on her end, but the situation here was more critical and there was no time to ponder further. “Is it in accordance with the agreement?”

“Saying that just seems so formal. I trust your judgment in handling matters.”

Josie responded with a hum and swiftly ended the call. She was unsure whether she was letting herself off the hook or if she was sparing the other person.
