Chapter 406 Don’t Disappoint Me
Josie put her hands into her pockets and smiled lightly. “I’m leaving.”
The man in a cotton shirt put his hands behind his back as he stood on the patio. He watched Josie’s car drive further away, and his loving gaze disappeared when the car vanished from view. He became the aloof Dexter Russell again.
He sat at the dining table and continued eating his unfinished breakfast calmly. He asked his secretary on the phone, “What’s the schedule for this morning?”
“You have to participate in a meeting regarding the list of board members of the newly listed company on the market under Russell Group. You must also find the time to meet the intellectual property rights president.”
“Push everything to the afternoon.”
“Alright.”
Carter Group’s competitive bidding was held in the morning on the tenth floor of a particular hotel.
Josie was attending on behalf of Carter Group. While waiting, she received a call.
It was from Summer. “I heard that your father woke up!”
News had spread fast. Josie kept calm. “I didn’t think you would be so concerned about my father, Ms. Olsen. He did wake up.”
Summer seemed to be playing with something. Josie heard something knocking into each other on her end. “News about Dex going to the hospital to visit your father was kept confidential. Are you afraid of someone finding out?”
“Because Grandpa doesn’t know. If he does, he will rush us to have a wedding.” Josie ignored her insinuations and justified the decision.
“Really? You’re very thoughtful.” Summer sneered. “But since your father is awake, you no longer have to rely on Dex. Isn’t it the right time to free yourself? Don’t tell me you’re too attached and can’t leave him, Ms. Warren.”
This made Josie freeze. She gripped the proposal tightly. After a moment, she said, “Guess where I am right now, Ms. Olsen.”
Summer was dumbfounded and didn’t say anything.
“I’m at a competitive bidding on behalf of Carter Group.”
Paul had woken up, but she didn’t dare to relax. Dexter was too fickle, Arnold was too siy, and Summer was untrustworthy. None of them could guarantee her safety. She had to send Paul away from Wavery before she could completely relax.
