The Epic Blind Date with My Boss novel Chapter 157

Chapter 157 He Loved Someone 

Josie breathed a sigh of relief when she realized it was easier to talk to Dexter than she expected.

She watched him place another slice of orange in his mouth and asked, “Is it sweet?”

Juice burst from the orange slice as he chewed, but it was not as sweet as the smile before him. He nodded slightly and answered, “It’s okay.”

Josie sensed he had moved closer and rushed to maintain distance between them. “Let me peel another one for you.”

Dexter reached out and grabbed her wrist, stopping her. “I have enough.”

Josie froze immediately and looked at his hand on hers. She quickly pulled her hand away and considered briefly before saying, “Dexter, I didn’t arrange to meet with Arnold that day. He cornered me. I will try my best to avoid him from now on.”

She had pondered about the matter and thought she needed to explain it.

Dexter placed the last slice of orange in his mouth and asked, “Do you like him?”

While he sounded casual, Josie was shocked by his question. “Why do you ask?”

Usually, servants were busy with household chores downstairs, but they had all disappeared. Josie and Dexter were the only ones in the room. Their voices sounded hollow in the vast

space.

“Arnold is known throughout Wavery as a womanizer. He seems respectable, well-mannered, and capable, so he has no problem getting any woman he wants. Furthermore, any woman. he interacted with couldn’t help falling for him,” Dexter explained casually. “You met him alone a few times. Are you sure you never felt anything for him?”

Josie laughed and unfurled her hands, revealing the intricate lines on her palms. “Sounds like I should fall in love with him?”

Dexter did not respond.

“No, not even once,” Josie answered firmly. “Although Arnold seems admirable, I keep feeling that his gentleness is only a mask he shows the world. In actuality, he is hiding his greed beneath that mask. Moreover, he approached me intending to exploit me. I’m afraid of him and can never love him.”
