Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 319

Chapter 319 Make Him Give Up

Josie saw Matthew's expression gradually turn grim, but he soon appeared normal again.

"I know."

Josie was surprised by his response. "You knew?"

Matthew rested his dominant hand on the steering wheel and seemed exhausted. "Jo, there's probably no one in the world who understands you better than I do. That includes him. I have witnessed your joy, anger, and tears for three years. You are terrible at hiding your emotions."

He understood her too well. Josie knew it was pointless to put up a front before him. She had no choice but to show him her true self.

"When did you find out?"

Matthew smiled bitterly and looked at the setting sun. "It's in your eyes whenever you look at him."

Josie thought she hid it well. In actuality, her affection for Dexter was so evident that any bystander could see it.

Silence followed. Josie looked down and said, "I'm sorry. Honestly, I knew you had feelings for me since long ago."

Matthew smiled slightly. "How did you know?"

She did not want to tell him that it was Dexter who kept reminding her.

"There's nothing to be sorry about. You only can't return my feelings. That's nothing to apologize for," Matthew replied without looking at her. His hands shook slightly on the steering wheel. "Is he good to you?"

"Good?" Josie muttered, "Sometimes, he's so good to me that it feels like he's willing to bring down the stars for me. However, when he's mean…" He could be cruel.

"A prominent man like him must have plenty of ways to deal with someone." Matthew was a good judge of human character. He pitied Josie and felt helpless about her situation.

Josie could not deny that Dexter had many methods at his disposal if he wanted to punish someone. Still, he had not done anything to her. However, even his scolding was enough to make her depressed.

The employees in the design department were used to her coming to work late. As the superior, she had freedom in choosing when to go to work. However, that did not stop people from discussing her. They wondered why she had recently become careless about work and behaved as if she did not fear anyone.

Josie's phone rang while she reviewed a project during the daily meeting. She glanced at the screen but did not answer it. However, everyone stared at her curiously, so she had no choice but to excuse herself. She answered the call before she could get out of the meeting room.

"The first prize?" Josie whispered in disbelief.

Alice could not resist her curiosity and leaned closer to listen in. "Is it the first prize for Interior Design Awards?"

Those words sent the meeting room buzzing with excitement. "My goodness!"

"Josie is the first prize winner for this year?"

However, the first-prize winner did not seem excited. Instead, her expression turned grim.
