The Epic Blind Date with My Boss novel Chapter 703

Chapter 703 Keeping Leanne Close

“Is Russell Group planning to restructure the Design Department?” Josie probed.

Dexter’s arm, which was snug around her waist, slackened slightly. “You’ve managed to piece it together.”

“To be more precise, Russell Group has its eyes on restructuring the entire construction division, which would inevitably involve the Design Department,” Dexter explained.

A frown graced Josie’s forehead. “But hasn’t the real estate market in Wavery already reached its saturation point? Didn’t they decide to step back from that?”
