The Epic Blind Date with My Boss novel Chapter 555

Chapter 555 Let’s Pretend We Don’t Know Each Other

At the end of the corridor, two women stood facing each other, enveloped in an unusual atmosphere. Josie lowered her head and spoke first, “Mrs. Hadey, I apologize for ruining Summer’s birthday banquet that day.”

Claudia examined her closely, unable to accept the fact that this soft-spoken woman before her was her daughter’s rival in love and Dexter’s wife.

“You’ve taken me by surprise,” she responded coldly.

Josie nodded in agreement, “I am equally surprised.”

Claudia’s gaze fell upon the beaded Buddhist bracelet on Josie’s wrist, her thoughts indiscernible under her mask of a dignified woman.

“Dexter has treated you well,” Claudia stated plainly.

Josie hesitated for a moment. “Well…perhaps,” she spoke uncertainly, as even Josie herself was uncertain of Dexter’s feelings.

“That child has grown up under my care. He is naturally distant, so if he treats you this well, it means you are someone he truly cares about,” Claudia said with bitterness. “I’m not surprised that he chose to marry

you.”

Josie understood that Dexter’s feelings for her all came down to her appearance. She explained, “I know I bear a resemblance to your missing daughter and Dexter and she shared a special bond from their childhood.” D

Upon learning that Claudia was Leanne’s mother, Josie immediately understood that Claudia had lived in the temple to seek solace in the absence of her daughter.

Claudia smiled slightly as she spoke, “I have to thank you for what you did that day. Zach might have caused even greater trouble if not for you saving Laura. The scandal surrounding the Olsen family would have been immense.”

“Domestic violence is truly despicable, Mrs. Hadey. Please, do everything you can to keep him away from Laura, Josie responded with genuine concern.

Moved by the sincerity in her gaze, Claudia sighed. “Once Laura has fully recovered, I will make arrangements to send her away from Wavery.”

Josie breathed a sigh of relief.

“In the future, we may still cross paths in Wavery, but let’s pretend we don’t know each other,” Claudia suggested, leveling her gaze at her.

“I understand,” Josie replied, her voice steady despite the heaviness in her heart.

Claudia nodded in acknowledgment and left, leaving Josie to collect her thoughts. Taking a moment to compose herself, she returned to Dexter’s side.
