Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 54

“That’s a solution – leaving Wavery.” Josie clapped.

Nicole hesitated. “But… my identity card is still with him. What will happen to my job and my parents if I leave? What if he finds my parents?”

“Which is more important, your life or your job?” Dexter asked impatiently. Indecisive women had always irritated him. “Ignore your identity card – just tell the police that you lost yours and make a new one. Don’t worry about your parents. We are still here, and don’t forget about the police. He can’t do anything to them.”

He had the natural air of a leader and was used to giving orders. Nicole nodded weakly, not daring to look at him. “I’ll leave tomorrow morning. But I haven’t told my parents about this. I don’t want them to worry about me.”

Josie sighed and comforted her. “Think about that when you’re safe. Don’t let anyone know where you are going, okay?”

Nicole finally calmed down and thanked them profusely.

When they left the hotel, Dexter finally got some fresh air. Next to him, Josie sighed. “Now I know how she stayed with him for three years.”

Nicole was an indecisive woman, while Justin had been taking the lead in their relationship. It’s no wonder she’s fooled by him.

Dexter turned to her. “Can you stop sighing? You’ve been doing that the entire evening – it’s annoying.”

Josie joked, “I didn’t expect you to know that we can get a new identity card that way. I thought you only take private jets when you travel.”

“Unlike you, I have common sense. Even though I take private jets, I’m still a human.”

For the first time, Josie didn’t argue with him. “Okay, okay. Thanks a lot, Mr. Russell. I might have lost my cool if you weren’t here tonight.”

She didn’t expect that he would help her out.

He smiled and opened the door for her. “Good to know that. Shall we go back now?”

She smiled and replied tentatively, “I’m worried that Justin might find her here. I’d like to stay with her tonight. I’ll only be relieved once I see her leave.”

There was an ominous silence.
