They walked out side by side and exchanged their misgivings softly. “This can be solved with a phone call. Why does Mr. Russell want us to go in person?”
“Forget it. Mr. Russell must have his reasons.”
At that moment, Dexter’s ‘reason’ was fast asleep on the couch.
Dexter wanted to laugh, and he did. He laughed in rage.
He was sending people away on her behalf, but she was sleeping peacefully here.
After a sleepless night, Josie was exhausted. She fell asleep as soon as she was on the couch but couldn’t sleep well. Her long black lashes trembled, and her tiny mouth was slightly pursed. She was no different from a child.
She had no airs and graces when she slept, and the baby fat was apparent on her face. From this angle, she looked more like Lily from back then… Dexter was engrossed as he watched her. He couldn’t help but lean closer and reach out a finger to poke her face.
It was very soft.
He didn’t notice the smile he had on his face.
“No! Don’t hit me!” Josie suddenly cried out loud. She had awoken in fright, and her body shivered subconsciously. She bumped into the man before her, and her lips brushed across his face because of the proximity.
Josie’s eyes widened, and she looked disbelievingly at the scene before her.
The two of them were very close. They breathed lightly into each other’s ears.
Dexter’s heart sank. The lips that had touched his were very soft. They were so supple that it made him want to go closer.
Her breathing was rushed, and her warm breath sprayed into his ear.
His brows wrinkled tightly.
Josie jumped away quickly, covering her lips with her hands as she stuttered, “I! You! I don’t know! I fell asleep! I didn’t know you were in front of me… Wait, what were you doing?”
Dexter stood up and touched his face with his fingers. “… I was going to wake you up.”
“… Oh…” Josie didn’t know what to say.
