Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 326

Chapter 326 Marriage of Convenience

Josie understood something. "I was right then." She stood up and went to the window. Her back profile seemed melancholic. "I should have listened to you and not trusted Dexter. Unfortunately, it's too late."

She could not see his face from her position. On the other hand, Arnold sipped some tea and said, "I'll give you some money. Can you help me pass it to Laura?"

"Why won't you give it to her yourself?"

"I'm granting you a favor, Ms. Warren." Arnold lazed in his chair and smiled nonchalantly.

Josie leaned toward him. Her hair swayed before his nose. She said, "Mr. Carter, please me."

"I've been doing that all this while."

Later, Josie returned to her hotel and was informed by the receptionist that someone upgraded her room to a suite.

Josie stood before the floor-to-ceiling window that overlooked the city. She knew Arnold did it.

He always cared for her, but Josie was unsure whether she could trust him.

She considered herself a selfish person. Ever since she witnessed Dexter's true colors, she decided not to trust anyone.

Once Arnold transferred the money to Josie's account, she invited Laura to meet. Then, she brought up the matter straight away. "You're probably short on money. Arnold told me to transfer the money to you. It should help you deal with urgent needs temporarily."

Laura looked unwell. She shrank further into her chair, but her gaze was calm. "It's a lot. I can't accept it."

"Seems like you still have some pride. However, as someone who experienced something similar, your future will be even more difficult."

Laura suddenly looked into her eyes. "Josie, Dex also transferred money to me last night."

Josie did not expect to hear his name suddenly and looked down instinctively.

"Do you know why they're helping me?"

Josie shook her head.

Envious? Josie considered silently. Her life was not as perfect as Laura thought.

Josie was stunned. Wedding? Next week? That's too soon!
