Patrick was dumbfounded at the sight of Dexter. He let go of Josie, making her fall to the ground.
Dexter could guess what had gone on.
“Mr. Davidson, you’re–”
“She’s our colleague. She had too much to drink, so we planned to send her to a room upstairs to rest.”
However, his explanation fell on deaf ears. Dexter ignored him and scooped Josie up, leaving Patrick stunned.
“Sir, you…”
He was silenced by Dexter’s cold stare. Then, he merely watched Dexter bring Josie away.
Josie squirmed in Dexter’s arms. “Don’t move,” he said with a frown.
Sure enough, she became still.
Amidst her grogginess, she tried to open her eyes but couldn’t catch a good glimpse. Then, she slid into a comfortable position and fell asleep.
Dexter placed her in his car. After seeing that she had fallen asleep, he locked the car before returning to Patrick, who was explaining the situation to Oliver and Alec.
He jolted when he saw Dexter approaching him sternly.
“What’s wrong, Mr. Davidson? Can’t you handle such a simple matter? I think we will call off the deal.”
“N-No, it’s not that…” Patrick stuttered.
