The Epic Blind Date with My Boss novel Chapter 38

Phil’s forehead was covered in sweat. “Ms. Miller, did I say anything wrong just now?”

Ivy crossed her arms in front of her. Her face was gloomy as she answered, “Don’t worry. Just stick to your answer if Mr. Russell asks you the same question. He’s always serious at work. He will not take it personally.”

“I know.” Phil still felt uneasy. “But Josie and Mr. Russell, they seem…”

“No!” Ivy interrupted suddenly. “Mr. Russell doesn’t pick on people. He focuses on the matters itself.”

She could pry into the truth and act as if nothing had happened. But it was different for others. She would not allow anyone else to know Jodie’s relationship with Dexter!

“Okay…”

It was the weekend tomorrow. Jodie did not plan to sleep early. She made supper with Julie to pass the time.

Julie nodded enthusiastically. “Mrs. Russell, you are an expert in the kitchen. It looks delicious.”

Josie nodded proudly, “I grew up in a less fortunate family. I lived from hand to mouth, so I made my meals to save money. I learned how to cook in time.”

Jenny never did any chores. Most of the time, it was Paul who cooked. But Josie did not want Paul to get too exhausted from both work and home, so she did most of the chores at home.

Josie poured the drink she had made into a glass. She glanced outside, but she did not see anyone.

“Julie, does Mr. Russell often come back this late?” She had never seen Dexter come home early after staying at his place for so long.

“Yeah. Mr. Russell is always busy with work. Sometimes, he only gets home in the early morning. Before you moved in, he would sleep in hotels whenever he got drunk outside.”

This sounded weird to Josie, but she did not want to overthink it. She did not like to think after work.

No wonder Dexter was so successful. He worked very hard.

“Mrs. Russell.” Julie nudged Josie and winked at her. “You made so many delicious dishes tonight. You must have done all this for Mr. Russell, right?”
