Chapter 155 I Have Planned in Advance
Dexter never showed up the following week. He never returned to Mason Garden and seemed busy with the matters involving Westin.
Marilyn was indignant on Josie’s behalf. “Even if he’s busy, he should try to come home to sleep. He has gone overboard. I must talk to his grandfather.”
Josie knew she had angered Dexter and stopped Marilyn. “Dex is busy. There was a time when he didn’t come home for a month due to work. Don’t worry, Marilyn.”
“It wouldn’t have mattered usually, but you are injured. As your husband, he should at least. come home to see you.” Marilyn was confused by Dexter’s behavior.
Josie resisted laughing. Why doesit feel like I’m the daughter of the family and Dexter, the son-in- law?
“I’m almost recovered and will be able to get out of this cast after a week.” It was uncomfortable not being able to move freely. She could not wait for her injury to be healed.
“Josie, you don’t have to hide it from me. Is Dexter seeing another woman?” Marilyn asked softly. She looked worried.
Josie knew nothing about this. She stammered, “I don’t think so…” Dexter seemed busy every day and had no trace of other women on him.
“You’re right. Dex has always been devoted. You don’t have to worry about this.”
Josie considered. Even if Dexter has another woman, I can’t do anything about it anyway.
Suddenly, she received a message from Alice. ‘Do you know about this? An order came from above stating that Claire was dismissed from her position. Guess what the reason is. It’s because she committed a crime!’
Josie did not expect the matter to be dealt with so quickly that an order came from the higher-ups in less than a week.
‘Now, everyone is guessing whether you will take over her position. After all, you recently secured a major project and are the most viable candidate. But I think this position is jinxed. It’s all right even if you don’t get it.”
Josie finished reading the message and hesitated briefly before opening her messages with Dexter. Their conversation was still stuck on the previous topic. She typed a couple of words. “Thank you.”
