Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 41

“Thank you so much for today, Dr. Sander. I wouldn’t know what to do if it wasn’t for you. I’ve tried all the tricks I know to deal with her, but they were all ineffective. Turns out that hitting her works the best.”

Josie thanked Matthew earnestly.

Matthew smiled. “Well, do you plan to thank me just like that? Or will you show me how grateful you are?”

Josie looked at the time. Her eyes sparkled as she said, “Why not I treat you to lunch? You do not have a shift now anyway, right?”

“That’s great. But your makeup…”

Only then Josie remembered her ghost makeup. She cursed under her breath and rushed to the nearest restroom. “Wait a moment, Dr. Sander!”

Matthew’s eyes twinkled as he smiled.

In the Italian restaurant.

The chili mussels were so spicy that Josie could not even close her mouth. She raised her glass and had a toast with Matthew.

“Do you know how good it felt when you hit her? I have wanted to slap her over the past ten years, but I never dared to. You helped me achieve my dreams.”

Matthew put his hands on the table and smiled, “I cannot imagine you being in that hell for ten years. I’m more than happy to help you achieve your dream.”

“Sigh… Finally, something good happened.”

“What’s wrong? Is everything alright?”

Josie opened her mouth to speak, but no words could describe what she was going through. “Oh, it’s all just work.”

Matthew caught a glimpse of her frustration. He pursed his lips. “Is it related to your father’s two hundred thousand?”
