Chapter 141 Grandpa Knows
Dexter puffed on his cigarette and looked at the woman inside the room through the smoke.
She seemed very nervous even though the meeting was online. As she spoke, she revealed an appropriate smile and apologized before she started her presentation.
“You haven’t dug deep enough. Ask around and investigate if anyone has a grudge against Josie in the design department.” He looked to the side. “I remember the new head doesn’t. seem to like her much.”
Ivy’s heart sank. “She… is the head, after all. I don’t think she needs to do such a thing.”
“People are greedy. Perhaps she felt dissatisfied that I made Josie the project’s main designer.”
“Let me investigate her recent calls.” Ivy understood that there had to be a conclusion from the investigation.
Dexter answered her indifferently without looking away from Josie. Ivy looked over and couldn’t help herself. “Mr. Russell… If I may say something.”
He answered, “Mm.”
“Why did you choose Josie?” Ivy gritted her teeth and asked the question that had been on her mind for many days. She didn’t feel like Dexter would really fall in love with Josie.
Ash from Dexter’s cigarette fell on the floor. It was as though the question came as no surprise to Dexter. He merely said, “She’s suitable.”
Ivy didn’t ask what about Josie was suitable. It was already inappropriate for a personal assistant like her to ask about her boss’ private affairs. His answer made her relax slightly. Thankfully, Dexter just thought that Josie was suitable. He wasn’t in love with her.
Ivy didn’t say anything for a long time. Dexter put out his cigarette. “Is there anything else?”
“No. I’ll be leaving, Mr. Russell.”
Josie’s design was successfully approved in the meeting. She closed the laptop happily and saw him enter the room. She smiled and asked him, “You didn’t secretly manipulate this, did you?”
“Why aren’t
you
confident in your work?”
“By the way.” Josie suddenly thought of something. “Dexter, has my mom… looked for you?”
Her mom had threatened to look for Dexter back at the beauty salon. There had been no news in the past few days. Was Mom just being arrogant?
Dexter looked away and answered indifferently, “No.”
That’s good.
Josie was discharged the next day and returned to Mason Garden. On the way back, Dexter suddenly received a call. “Dex, what happened? Was Jo in an accident?”
Henry’s voice was loud. Dexter put his cell phone further away and furrowed his brows. “How did you know, Grandpa?”
Josie raised her head, perplexed.
“The Late Wavery News reported on it. They said that an accident happened at Russell Group’s entrance and even included photos!”
