Chapter 512 Unfamiliar Body
Meanwhile, Dexter gave instructions to Russell Group research team in London
“I will fight to the end if I have to. Therefore, make sure no problem arises with the funds I need
The research team noted his instruction and waited for him to continue
He paused before saying. Tm going to get some sleep. No one is allowed to disturb me
The crowd laughed in good nature.
Dexter slept less than four hours every day for many days now. The urgency of the matter kept him at work. Even machines could not withstand such work intensity.
He let himself fall onto the soft king-sized bed and buried his face partially in the pillow. He could not resist checking his phone, but Josie did not call him.
The remorse and longing he had been suppressing surged throughout his mind and rooted deep in his heart.
He had no idea how she was doing.
Forget it. Dexter put down his phone. It feels insincere to explain or apologize over the phone. I might as well timil until I return home to talk to her.
After a while, he let go of his thoughts and fell asleep.
He had a good sleep.
At dawn, as the sky was about to brighten, Dexter heard soft footsteps in his half-awakened state.
The person seemed careful not to wake him and tried to be as quiet as possible. It was a woman. She filled the glass on his bedside table with water.
His longing and desire grew with sudden intensity. Dexter smirked slightly and made a daring guess:
Only Larry has a copy of my room card and would not give it to anyone except Josie.
Dexter immediately got off the bed and turned on the light. The light came on and illuminated Heather’s pitiful expression.
Her clothes were a mess, and tears fell from her eyes. She looked at him as if he wronged her. “Mr. Russell. I didn’t know it was you, I came to the wrong room.
Dexter felt an intense migraine as he looked at the mess before him. He was on the verge of collapse.
The desire in his body faded away. His expression turned stern as he buttoned up his shirt. “How did you get in?”
Even though Heather was sad, she was more fearful of Dexter and answered frankly, “Your door wasn’t locked.
At this moment, Dexter recalled that he was too exhausted last night and forgot to lock the door after closing it. Anyone could have gotten in.
Dexter picked up his car keys from the bedside table and said solemnly, “No one is to know what happened here. I mistook you for someone else, and I’m sorry. However, all I can do is apologize.”
