Chapter 607 Old Things
Josie was puzzled and cautiously reached out to hold his hand. “Wha… What’s wrong.
Prompted by Josie, Dexter cast a quick glance at the woman by his side. Her clear. gaze reflected innocence and a lack of awareness regarding the harsher realities of human nature.
With an abrupt change in demeanor, he uttered, “Stop talking to me from now on.”
Startled by his sudden shift in attitude, Josie jolted back her arm. A perplexing sense of resentment swelled within her.
Meanwhile, Dexter was followed by a group of individuals as they exited the meeting room.
Larry couldn’t bear to see her clueless and defeated look; he pulled Josie aside and explained, “Don’t blame Mr. Russell. If anyone else had done what you just did, and if it were me that did it, I would have been dead by now.”
Josie blinked, confused and startled, “That bad?”
Out of courtesy and adhering to business etiquette, Dexter escorted Morgan to the exit.
As the cold air lingered outside, Morgan nonchalantly accepted a scarf from his assistant, “Well then, Mr. Russell, we shall excuse ourselves now. Until next time.”
Dexter’s impatience was evident as he emitted an intense frustration.
He was about to walk away when his attention was suddenly drawn to the scarf in Morgan’s. hands. In an instant, a surge of anger filled the air.
To his shock, the scarf bore the initial Jo.
Morgan sensed a subtle change in the atmosphere and paused in his movement. “Do you also. happen to fancy this scarf, Mr. Russell? I’m sorry, but I can’t give it to you. It was a gift from an old friend.”
The two men locked eyes from afar, their mutual animosity tangible.
“Not at all. I don’t fancy outdated things-I only appreciate what’s current.”
Morgan turned and walked away, “Well, old things have their own charm.”
Meanwhile, Josie’s scalp tingled as Larry briefed her on the situation.
Dexter had brought her to this event to showcase her status. Still, she unknowingly caused a catastrophic disaster for Russell Group.
It was her fault. She shouldn’t have let Morgan get to her.
Now, the resulting public pressure would all fall on Dexter.
Josie pushed open the door and strutted into the CEO’s office.
