Chapter 458 Have It Covered
“You had your eyes on that project. Everyone else thought you crashed the stock market to target Josie and me, but your real target was Xanthe and Wyatt.”
Their eyes met, and Dexter’s smirk widened. He didn’t say anything in response to Arnold’s claims, but his eyes glinted with malice.
“You’re sharing the profits from a project you don’t even care about?” Arnold asked incredulously.
“I’m afraid you couldn’t handle anything more.”
With one final word to share with Arnold, Dexter commented, “Stop being so unserious in your relationships.” After a short pause, he continued, “Try to win their hearts. The Olsen girl might not have been the one for you, and the new one you’re caring for doesn’t look easy.
He was referring to Heather.
Dexter’s words suggested that he had no interest in Summer.
Arnold’s smile faltered. He was a shrewd judge of character, and his eyes could see right through Dexter’s intentions.
“I have it covered,” Arnold answered dryly.
Dexter’s eyes were narrowed with exasperation as he walked out of the office, his lips pressed into a thin line.
Heather leaned against the wall outside Arnold’s office. As soon as she saw him, she smiled and said, “Mr. Russell.”
Dexter nodded in greeting, his expression unreadable.
A pale hand blocked Dexter’s path as he entered the elevator. “Mr. Russell, you left something behind,” the woman said, gasping for breath. “Mr. Carter asked me to give it to you.”
It was a portfolio.
Dexter took it from the woman and said, “Alright, in an icy voice.
Dexter had ordered Moses to send the portfolio to Vaste’s office. “Mr. Russell, are you headed to the Russell Group or Mason Garden next?” Moses asked.
Dexter answered with a single word, “Home”
Moses immediately understood what he meant.
