Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 453

Chapter 453 An Overwhelming Gift 

“It’s for you, Mrs. Russell. Mr. Russell knows you’re setting up a new company without many clients yet, so he wanted to give this to you.” 

Dexter had an extravagant surprise for her. With this alone, they could sustain the studio for two quarters. 

“Help me to thank him,” Josie tried to hide her smile, but her eyes gleamed with joy. Why didn’t he tell me anything yesterday? 

After Larry left, Josie noticed Paul looking outside the office window with an indiscernible expression. Josie approached him and asked, “What’s the matter, Paul? Aren’t you happy for your daughter?” 

“Of course I’m happy,” Paul answered, holding onto a walking stick. “I’m proud to see how far you’ve come.” 

“I have greater heights to achieve,” Josie said, her voice light but filled with conviction. 

“Have you decided to be with him forever?” Paul asked out of the blue, without referring to Dexter directly. 

Josie’s lips curled into a smile as she nodded her head. “I’ve thought about it. I’m willing to go through thick and thin with him.” 

Paul mulled over what she said as he patted her head. After a deep sigh, he said, “It’s your choice. If you’re willing to stay by his side unconditionally, I’ll support you.” 

Suddenly, Alice shouted from the outside, “Jo, there’s another flower basket for you. Come and take a look.” 

“It must be Laura’s friend.” Josie walked out and saw a huge flower basket placed at their entrance. Her eyes widened in shock when she read the card attached to it. 

The card was imprinted with the words, ‘Congratulations on your opening. 

And there was a signature below, “Arnold Carter. 

He hadn’t shown up in a long while, and Josie had entirely lost touch with him. His sudden appearance today made her heart sink. 

The summer weather was as unpredictable as ever. The sun had been shining brightly just a few hours ago, but now a thunderstorm was raging overhead. The rain fell in torrents, and 

An Overwhelming Gift 

there was no sign of it letting up anytime soon. 

A young lady with curled hair framing her gorgeous face stood in front of the villa with an umbrella. She had been there the whole day. 

The villa was located by the beach. In the brief flash of lightning, the villa appeared, its unique and beautiful design silhouetted against the night sky. 

The young lady was Summer. 

She stood there with a determined glare. Hope was dwindling, but she refused to give up. She would hold on to any slight chance, no matter how small. 

Vaste was a target for acquisition. With sufficient capital, it wasn’t totally out of the question that they would strike. 

The company interested in taking over Vaste was one which can never be underestimated the Carter Group. 

Arnold wasn’t going to back down anytime soon. The revelation of this news meant that he had everything under control. 

Rumors had been going around that Arnold decided to go against her because Summer wouldn’t budge at his attempts to pursue her. Therefore, he was adamant not to waste any more time on her.
