The Epic Blind Date with My Boss novel Chapter 358

Chapter 358 She Was Jealous

“Josic, Dexter said, his voice calm and composed. “If people found out Summer was with me after she got drunk, her reputation would be destroyed.”

He had no choice but to bring her home.

“Her reputation? Didn’t she lose it when she locked you in the hotel room?” Josie asked, her eyes flashing with anger.

Dexter stared at her in disbelief. “Do you know what you’re saying?”

Josie couldn’t hold back her true feelings. She knew she had stepped over a line when she saw Dexter’s piercing glare.

She turned around hastily, ready to leave the room. I’ll leave now,” she muttered.

Dexter grabbed her wrist tightly, stopping her from leaving. His vigorous action accidentally pulled at her wound, causing her to wince in pain.

Dexter gripped her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze.

Dexter’s gaze was sharp and grim, his expression resolute.

He stood close to her, and Josie inhaled the clean, fresh scent of his skin.

Dexter’s face was a paradox of softness and coldness. His features were naturally clear and clean, yet they exuded a chill that made others admire him from a distance.

He was the kind of man who would have many admirers, even if he didn’t have the wealth and power he had now.

Josie felt her heart swell as she saw him up close for the first time in a long time.

Dexter locked his eyes on hers and asked, “Are you jealous?”

Josie froze for a moment, taken aback by his question. “Me? Jealous? Of who?” she stammered.

She was glad that he couldn’t hear the pounding of her heart.

Dexter leaned in close, his lips brushing her ear. “Josie, you came here to find me because you’re jealous,” he whispered.

Josie felt heat rising in her cheeks as Dexter’s words washed over her. Her anger had melted away. replaced by a warm and unfamiliar feeling.

“You’re blaming me for saving Summer.”

Josie stood frozen in place, her heart hammering in her chest. Dexter’s words had cut through her like a knife, exposing her deepest feelings.
