The Epic Blind Date with My Boss novel Chapter 35

Dexter arrived at his office early today, even before Ivy had prepared his breakfast. 

Ivy panicked for a moment. She hurriedly prepared some toast. This was what she made for Dexter daily. He was always too busy to take care of his meals.

“Mr. Russell, I’m sorry, I arrived late today. This is your breakfast.” Ivy said carefully.

Dexter was expressionless as he studied the financial reports for the first quarter of the year.

“I’m early today. I’ve eaten. You can have it.”

Eaten? Ivy was a little surprised. “… Okay.”

She picked up the plate and peeked at Dexter. Just at that moment, she saw a ring on his finger!

It was on his ring finger.

Its meaning was clear.

Ivy lost concentration for a moment. The plate in her hand slipped and fell onto the ground. Hot coffee spilled all over her. “Ah!”

Only then did Dexter raise his eyes to look at Ivy. He frowned in dismay. “What’s the matter?”

She has always been steady and rarely made such elementary mistakes. What is wrong with her today?

“I’m sorry, Mr. Russell. I did not sleep well last night. I lost myself for a moment. I shall ask someone to get this cleaned immediately.”

Dexter was a little annoyed. “Go. You can ask for sick leave the next time you feel unwell.”

He had always been like this; empathetic yet strict, kind yet cold. He was a professional at work.

Ivy stood still. Her eyes reddened, and she started to tremble.

“What’s wrong? Is there anything else?” Dexter frowned even harder.
