Chapter 112 Aren't You Married to Him?
Josieâs heart sank. She knew that Dexter wasnât there.
She sighed and announced, âItâs alright. Iâll leave now.â
Calvin pulled her back by her back collar, asking, âMs. Warren, donât you know Dexâs schedule?â
âHow would I know?â Josic answered. She was already feeling frustrated she couldnât find Dexter, but he had to question her about it.
âArenât you married to him?â Calvin asked indifferently.
Josie looked unbothered by his question. But all of a sudden, her eyes widened in shock, âDexter told you?â
âNo, but your reaction tells me itâs true.â
Calvinâs lips curled into a mysterious smile, secretly content with his discovery.
Josie took a deep breath and lightly punched his chest in frustration. âYou tricked me!â
How could he act like this? Not only is he unserious all the time, but heâs also even got such petty tricks up his sleeves.
He grinned at her reaction and moved his hands behind him. âI know everything that happens in Wavery. The woman who could make Dex lose his cool and risk his partnership must be someone very special to him. How can I not be attentive to my friendâs relationship?â
Josie felt like a helpless fish at the mercy of the man slicing and dicing her life.
âWhat relationship is thereâ¦â She spoke under her breath, still feeling exasperated by Calvinâs approach. âIs that not true?â Calvin moved closer. âSo, why are you so concerned about Dexâs safety?â
Josie froze at the spot. She wanted to refute it, but the only words that left her mouth were, âThatâs not the truth! I have no time to cater to your nonsense.â
âFollow me,â Calvin turned around.
They went into a private elevator and stopped on the third floor. Calvin brought her into a quiet private room.
When he saw her distressed state, Calvin gently reassured her. âDonât worry. The same thing wouldnât happen twice, Stay here quietly and wait for someone to fetch you home.â
Without waiting for an answer, he closed the door and left.
She wanted to leave, but the memory of the cruel incident here rooted her to the spot. She shook the thought away and decided to stay, knowing it would be easy to get into an accident in this dangerous place.
Josie sat on the sofa, pondering her unpredictable actions. She was determined to enter this place, but now she wasnât sure why.
Dexterâs meeting wasnât held in Heaven on Earth but in the villa of one of Landonâs executives, Mr.
York.
Ivy held onto his coat as she circled around the living room. Dexter had been inside for two hours.
Mrs. York poured a cup of tea for her. âMs. Miller, donât worry. It can take a long time when they are discussing a complicated matter.â
Ivy looked down; her gaze rested on Mrs. Yorkâs wrist. She wore Cartierâs new bangle, which sparkled and gleamed in the light.
âMr. York treats you really wellâ
Mrs. York raised her eyebrows and put on a warm smile. Is that so? Is it really obvious?â
Ivy chuckled softly and replied, âMost men leave their wives once theyâre at the peak of their success.
But Mr. York is still loyal. You must be someone he adores very much.â
âMs. Miller must be joking. He only did something any man should do. Thereâs no need to praise him for such trivial matters. Mrs. York spoke in a calm and composed voice, her words a testament to her elegance. She looked at the studyâs door and said. âMr. Russell is also a good man. Does he have a âgirlfriend?â
Ivyâs eyes jurned gloomy. âThat is Mr. Russellâs personal matter. Iâm not sure.â
Mr. York was sharp and went straight to the point. âYou seem like a kind and gentle woman that any man would adore. Also, I can see the love and respect in your eyes when you look at him.â
But Derter couldnât notice it.
