Chapter 541 Accuse of Stealing
Josie came to a sudden halt, her eyes widening in surprise. “How did you recognize me with my mask?” she asked.
Larry’s eyes gleamed with surprise and delight. “Of course,” he said. “Mr. Russell has been searching for you for the past two months. I can recognize you even if you were wearing a helmet.“
Josie glanced in Gareth’s direction. Her voice was filled with urgency as she said, ‘T’ll explain another day. I can’t be seen here right now.”
“Don’t go,” Larry pleaded. “we’ve been looking for you for so long.” He stared momentarily at Andy before grabbing Josie’s wrist. He was holding onto her as if his life depended on it. “You have to at least see Mr. Russell before you leave.”
He then led her towards Dexter.
Josie wanted to disappear into the ground. “I really can’t,” she replied, shaking her head.
As they were struggling in the hallway, they caught Dexter’s attention. Dexter glanced up, followed by Summer, who did the same.
Josie immediately turned around, hoping to avoid being seen.
Summer recognized her instantly and looked towards Gareth nervously. She saw his face flash in surprise and said carefully, “Dex, this isn’t the appropriate occasion for this.”
Dex didn’t listen to Summer and started walking over to Josie.
He started walking quickly but slowed down as he got closer to her.
Arnold was carefully observing the scene that unfolded before him the whole time. He wanted to protect Josie but had to stay put because Zach was about to leave his seat. Without hesitating, he called out to Zach. Zach, let’s have another toast.”
Zach froze at his spot. “You must be really pumped up tonight.”
“Summer announced that she had something big to reveal to everyone later. Aren’t you curious?”
Zach’s steps came to a halt, and he decided to stay with Arnold.
Dexter stood before Josie. Suddenly, Summer’s voice cut through the air. “What are you wearing?!”
As soon as Summer’s scream rang out, everyone slowly gathered around them.
Dexter stood frozen in place as Josie turned around. She was stunned to see the man she hadn’t seen in a long time standing before her.
Their eyes met as if the world around them had stopped.
It only took one moment for them to fall for each other again.
