Chapter 69
Josie stiffened for some time before mumbling, “I’m sorry, Ms. Jones. I admit – I backstabbed you out of my personal interest. Please accept my sincere apologies.”
A soft laughter emerged on the other end, accompanied by the sound of the sea breeze. “I don’t blame you. He might never come to meet me if it weren’t for you. Now, I can finally move on. You’re a kind girl. I believe you can design a cover that can touch people’s hearts.”
Josie was relieved to be acknowledged by Shannon. She could only keep thanking her.
Suddenly, Shannon asked, “The man with you that day isn’t your boyfriend, am I right?”
“Yeah… He’s my boss.” Josie was embarrassed.
Shannon laughed. “Your acting skill has room for improvement.”
After hanging up the call, Josie remained in a daze for a moment before she squealed in excitement and trotted to Dexter’s room. She knocked on his door, hoping to share her happiness with him.
Dexter was about to go to bed. When he opened his door to see the woman whose face turned red from excitement, he was stunned. “Don’t say anything first.”
Josie nodded.
“Did you obtain the copyright?” Dexter asked astutely.
Josie jumped with exhilaration and couldn’t hide her joy. “I can finally start my design! I’ve gotten the project!”
Leaning against the door, Dexter wore a subtle smile. Josie embraced him excitedly and quickly let go of him.
“Thank you, Mr. Russell. If it weren’t for you, things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly. Oh my gosh! I’m so happy!”
Dexter’s body froze for a second as the warm sensation left him. He smiled and said, “Congrats.”
“Thank you!”
Josie answered naturally, “Okay. I’ll get ready.”
Josie stood numbly at the spot as her heart pounded heavily. She almost fell for his gentle gaze just now! Why did he show such emotions?
