Dexter glanced outside and replied, “Do you want to be struck by lightning?”
Josie was stumped before she said, “But do you know what staying back means? I will be entering your territory. Don’t you hate it when I enter your room?” The two cannot sleep in separate rooms under Henry’s surveillance.
So this was what she was worried about.
Dexter was amused when he saw her acting awkwardly. He deliberately teased her. “It’s alright. This isn’t Mason Garden. I’ll allow it.”
Before Josie could refute it, a maid walked over towards them with a blanket in her arms. She said gently, “Please follow me.”
“Ah…”
She opened the door and explained with a smile, “Although Dex seldom stays at home, we keep his room clean.”
Josie braced herself and entered Dexter’s bedroom. It had a Nordic-style design—clean and simple. It was just what he liked. His huge bed looked comfortable.
He seemed to get along with the people here very well since they called them ‘Dex .’He did not put on airs.
This was Josie’s first time entering her boss’ private space. She felt a little afraid, yet bizarre at the same time.
“Thank you, Marilyn. I will do the rest.” Dexter spoke, saving Josie from the awkwardness.
Marilyn nodded and glanced at the two youngsters teasingly before she left.
Josie felt the urge to hide.
Dexter patted Josie’s head, amused. He said, “I’ll shower first ”
I’ll shower first. It sounded like part of a conversation a new couple would have before experiencing their first intimacy!
Josie blinked, “What about me?”
