The Epic Blind Date with My Boss novel Chapter 320

Chapter 320 Bankruptcy

Alice saw Josie’s aloofness after hanging up and complimented her non-stop. “Jo, you’re brilliant. You won Interior Design Awards’ first prize at only twenty-three years old! Do you know what this means?*

“My goodness. Why isn’t Laura here? I need to make her regret looking down on you!“

Winning the prize was an incredible achievement for a twenty-three-year-old woman. One should know that the youngest winner was twenty-eight before Josie broke the record.

As the winner, she would become the new standard in the design industry for the following year.

“Say something? Are you in shock?” Alice tugged Josie’s arm.

Josie glanced at the anticipating crowd and said calmly, “Let’s continue with the meeting.”

“Huh.”

“D”mn, why is she acting like she’s better than everyone.”

Josie did not have the mind to care about the whisperings around her. Her mind was preoccupied with what the committee had told her on the phone. After telling her about her winning, they added. “We have blacklisted Claire from the competition for life for committing slander and plagiarizing your work. The -whole industry will soon boycott her, so don’t worry.”

Such swift action could only mean a certain someone had a hand in this.

Just now, Josie desperately wanted to scream that Claire was not the instigator. Instead, the real culprit was Laura, who won second prize.

However, she could not say it.

After the meeting. Josie stopped Alice and asked, “Did Laura come to work recently?”

“I’ve never seen her even once. I thought both of you arranged to be late and skip work together. The design department is having some difficulty without its two key figures.”

Josie felt guilty upon hearing that. “Something happened recently, I won’t be late again.”

She had relied on wise sayings to sustain her for three years while her father was severely ill.

Men are unreliable, so one might as well depend on oneself. Moreover, one can afford to lose a man but not work.

Unfortunately, Dexter is my boss. He can fire me from my job whenever he wants.

No wonder the company doesn’t allow office romance….

Josie could not help but feel afraid after his cruel words to her. She could not yet hand in the divorce agreement for her father’s sake.
