The Epic Blind Date with My Boss novel Chapter 267

Chapter 267 Making Her Happy

Josie was taken aback by his condescending tone. She felt her voice catch in her throat but forced herself to remain collected. “Are you going to tell me or not?” she asked.

The wine arrived at the table. “Are you threatening me?” he asked, pursing his lips.

Josie didn’t know how to reply. She was struggling to understand his behavior. At times, he was easygoing. But other times, he was cold and distant. She took a deep breath and said, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t feel like telling me. Who knows? I might not even be interested to know anymore by the time you feel like telling me, Mr. Carter.”

Her witty attitude made it hard for anyone to get mad at her.

Arnold placed his glass on the table and leaned forward. “What happened to your neck?” he asked, his eyes narrowing.

She wore an off-the-shoulder top that exposed her rosy, wind-chapped shoulders.

“I went to battle.” Josie wasn’t interested in continuing this conversation.

“Did you win?”

Josie stared scornfully at Arnold. “Mr. Carter, I suggest you focus on drinking your overpriced wine,” she commented.

Arnold smirked at her. He then turned to the man who had just opened the door, his lips curling into at knowing smile.

“Arnold, I’ve been looking for you everywhere. Turns out you’ve been hiding here this whole time.”

His voice sent a shiver down Josie’s spine. She didn’t dare to turn her head around.

Arnold wasn’t surprised to see him. He leaned back in his chair and said, “Your speech was a hit. There was no room for me to join in the crowd. Luckily, Mrs. Russell was kind enough to buy me a drink.”

“Really?” Dexter leaned closer to Josie and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. His stare was cold and aloof. “That’s generous of her.”

Josie tilted her head and peeked at Dexter’s face. “I thought I would accompany Mr. Carter,” she said. “He seemed bored.”

She wanted to dispel his suspicions about her relationship with Arnold, fearing that he would get angry again if he thought she was still involved with him.

Dexter smiled at her. “You did great.”
