Chapter 409 How Did You Offend a Superior?
Dexter’s secretary was waiting for him in the backseat of the car in the garage. After she finished reporting about work to him, Moses stopped the vehicle by the side of the road, and Dexter shut his eyes. He looked exhausted.
Before the secretary exited the vehicle, she said cautiously, “Mr. Russell, Mrs. Russell called me today. She seems to have been looking for you.”
Dexter opened his eyes almost instantly. His gaze was ominous. “When was this?”
“At night.”
Dexter picked up his coat and looked for his personal cell phone. When he turned it on, he saw a few unread messages.
His brows furrowed tightly. “What were the results of Carter Group’s competitive bidding?”
“As expected, they won.”
Dexter instructed Moses to drive to Paul’s house.
It was late, and all the lights were turned off. Dexter waited outside the house and didn’t go in. Under the glow of the streetlight, he seemed dignified yet lonely.
Moses couldn’t help but ask, “Why don’t you explain it to her?”
“I missed the chance to. Anything I say after that is just an excuse.” Dexter massaged his temples and sighed ever so subtly.
Josie was on the last train when her cell phone vibrated. It was a text from Dexter. I was too busy at work and didn’t look at my cell phone.
After a while, she received another message. ‘Sleep well.
She turned off her screen. She knew Dexter was swamped and didn’t look at his cell phone. She empathized with him, but their divide seemed to grow for some reason. However, they were clearly trying hard to bridge the gap between them.
The following day, Josie received a call from Alice. “Jo, I heard the security guard say you came to Russell Group last night but couldn’t go in. Why didn’t you call me? I could have helped you.”
Josie paused, and she felt unspeakably pained. “It wasn’t important. Thanks anyway.”
“Why are you so polite with me?” Alice sighed. “We haven’t met in a while. Do you want to have dinner together?”
