Chapter 121 A Trap
“Who is it?”
Dexter asked in his deep and gravelly voice.
Josie appeared from the dark and slowly walked into his office’s soft glow of light. “Are you always this alert, Mr. Russell”
Her canvas bag was slung over her shoulders, and her work outfit was simple. Nonetheless, the office was large and luxurious, with a high ceiling and an open view of the city. Josie felt like a small fish in a big pond.
Once he saw her, the scowl on his face faded. “Why didn’t you return to Mason Garden?*
Josie put her bag down and went closer to him. Her finger rested on his furrowed brows as she said, “I was on my way back, but I decided to wait for Mr. Russell as I saw the lights at the top floor were still on.”
Dexter grabbed onto her hands without losing the frown on his face. “I see you’re no longer afraid of getting caught.”
Josie shook her head. “Isn’t it thrilling to have an office romance?”
She leaned in closer to him, leaving almost no gap between them. Dexter narrowed his eyes when he sensed a familiar smell from her body..
“You’re still a little blunt. You love to call me Mr. Russell whenever you seduce me.” Dexter pushed her away softly with a look of disdain masking his face. “A man’s desire cannot be easily awakened with stiff flirtation.”
Josie had no intention of seducing him. Instead, she tilted her head slightly and asked, “I feel this is right up Mr. Russell’s alley. Or else, why would you let me handle the Sylmark project?”
She had her cards out on the table, but Dexter seemed uninterested. He stared at the antique clock in his ” office. It was five–hundred–year–old antique worth hundreds of thousands. Its design was marvelous.
“There’s no one better fit for this position than you. You shouldn’t act naive when you’ve got what you wanted easily.”
Josie fell silent. This must be why he doesn’t have any friends. Who would want to be close to him when he has such a wicked mouth?
