Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 321

Chapter 321 It Wasn't Her

Laura sat still and answered emotionlessly, "He ran off."

Josie recalled that Laura's father looked like an elegant gentleman. "He ran off?"

Laura laughed and looked heart-wrenchingly pitiful. "What do you expect? He has always been an irresponsible man. He abandoned my mother and me once. What's stopping him from abandoning us again?"

It felt cruel that her family secrets were exposed at this moment.

"What about your grandfather? I remember he…"

"He's hospitalized for cerebral hemorrhage. No one knows whether he will survive." Laura's tone remained indifferent as if she was merely a bystander.

Josie was stunned. She did not expect Laura to be going through such severe matters. "How did the family go bankrupt?"

Laura no longer had the patience to answer her question. She pushed herself to stand up. "Why are you here?"

"What do you think?" Josie's tone was also impatient. Her predicament was not enough reason for Josie to forgive her.

She stared at Josie before breaking out in laughter. "I don't have time to play a guessing game with you. You better get straight to the point."

Josie observed Laura. Her gaze seemed calm and open. There was not a hint of guilt from having done something wrong.

"What is it, Josie? Are you here to laugh at me?" Laura continued through gritted teeth. She seemed on the verge of a mental breakdown.

Josie took a deep breath and sensed something was wrong. "You haven't been to work for many days. As the supervisor, I have to check if something is wrong."

Those words seemed to calm Laura's mood considerably. She looked away and said, "I've been absent from work for so long. Dex must be angry with me."

He's not angry with you at all. In fact, he even got mad at me because of you. Josie thought to herself. Then, she said, "He's not angry, but I am."

"You…"

"Let's have lunch."
