Josie finally realized that something was wrong. She turned around and beckoned at the maid behind her, asking silently: What’s wrong with him? The maid shook her head. She looked afraid as if she was not allowed to answer that question.
Josie had no choice but to muster her courage and step forward. She asked carefully, “Mr. Russell, did I upset you again?”
She suddenly felt as if she was trying to tame a tiger.
Dexter was difficult to tame. The look on his face terrified people.
“Go on. Tell me. What were you doing outside so late? Did you go on a date with Dr. Sander again?”
The sarcasm in his words and mockery in his eyes ruined Josie’s good mood. She demanded angrily, “What do you mean? I’ve told you that Dr. Sander and I are only friends. You make it sound as if I have a scandal with him.”
Dexter glared at her. “Am I wrong?”
“… Rascal.” Josie could not help but curse under her breath.
She had not had dinner yet, and it was a long journey home. Her mood was not good, and she was ridiculed as soon as she got home. She almost lost her temper. She stood there for a long time and dared not approach Dexter anymore.
“… I thought you would understand, but it was just a fantasy of mine.”
After that, Josie turned around to head upstairs.
