Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 84

Chapter 84 A Risky Acquisition 

At this time, Josie realized that what Claire cared about wasn’t the bonus. It was the sense of achievement from trying hard. 

Ivy’s voice rang faintly. “Mr. Russell, the board of directors is waiting for you.” 

Josie looked up and saw the man in the seat of honor. He buttoned up his coat, and his gaze met hers. He frowned subconsciously, and he felt slightly uneasy. 

“Let’s go.” 

“What? Claire really said that?” Alice cried out in surprise back at the design department. She didn’t shy away from criticizing Claire. “Who does she think she is? How shameless of her to brazenly take credit!” 

Josie pulled Alice’s arm. “It’s fine. What’s done is done. It’s enough that I can get 

the 

money.” 

“How can it be fine? Your hard work has gone down the drain again. Don’t tell me you want to spend the rest of your life as a subordinate in the design department? You clearly have a better future!” Alice said resentfully. 

“What else can I do? Should I look for Mr. Russell and argue about it? He has to attend to numerous affairs every day. How would he have the time to deal with such a minor issue?” Josie said sarcastically. She lay on her desk and shut her eyes. I’m going to take a nap. Let’s not discuss it further.” 

Alice was dumbstruck. 

When Josie shut her eyes, she saw Dexter’s emotionless face in her mind. He had been with her as she completed the project, but he said nothing just now. He had silently acknowledged Claire’s actions. 

For a split second, she felt that she was so upset because of his attitude. 

“It’s too risky to acquire Landon. You will need half of Russell Group’s capital flow. It’s too risky, Dex.” 

The elderly man before Dexter kept trying to convince Dexter. The man smoked one cigarette after another and came to a conclusion. 

Dexter lifted his cup and tasted the tea. It was slightly bitter. He didn’t like it. 

“Granduncle, you’re old. You should be enjoying retired life at home. Who asked you to convince me? Tell me. I’ll deal with it.” 

The old man Dexter called ‘Granduncle‘ tapped his walking stick forcefully. “No one asked me to do anything. I’m a part of the Russell family, so it’s only natural for me to advise you. You’re risking everyone’s jobs!” 

Upon hearing that, Dexter put down his teacup, and it made a sound on the table. “Without taking risks, Russell Group wouldn’t have become what it is today!” 

The old man, who had been through countless hardships, was intimidated by Dexter’s imposing manner. He was momentarily dumbstruck. 

“Granduncle Wesley, you don’t have to care about such things. If you’re free, keep Grandpa company. He’s ill and needs people to be with him. After that, Dexter stood up. “Ivy, send him off!” 

“Dex! Dexter Russell!” Wesley Russell raised his hands and stopped Ivy from approaching. Tm telling you 

that I firmly oppose your acquisition of Landon. Don’t forget that I still own shares I can team up with the other shareholders and overthrow your decision. It’s not necessarily out of the question!” 

Dexter laughed when he heard it. There was a smirk in the corner of his lips. “You can try 

The old man left in a rage. He didn’t allow anyone to help him.
