Chapter 141 Grandpa Knows Dexter puffed on his cigarette and looked at the woman inside the room through the smoke.
She seemed very nervous even though the meeting was online. As she spoke, she revealed an appropriate smile and apologized before she started her presentation.
âYou havenât dug deep enough. Ask around and investigate if anyone has a grudge against Josie in the design department.â He looked to the side. âI remember the new head doesnât. seem to like her much.â
Ivyâs heart sank. âShe⦠is the head, after all. I donât think she needs to do such a thing.â
âPeople are greedy. Perhaps she felt dissatisfied that I made Josie the projectâs main designer.â
âLet me investigate her recent calls.â Ivy understood that there had to be a conclusion from the investigation.
Dexter answered her indifferently without looking away from Josie. Ivy looked over and couldnât help herself. âMr. Russell⦠If I may say something.â
He answered, âMm.â
âWhy did you choose Josie?â Ivy gritted her teeth and asked the question that had been on her mind for many days. She didnât feel like Dexter would really fall in love with Josie.
Ash from Dexterâs cigarette fell on the floor. It was as though the question came as no surprise to Dexter. He merely said, âSheâs suitable.â
Ivy didnât ask what about Josie was suitable. It was already inappropriate for a personal assistant like her to ask about her bossâ private affairs. His answer made her relax slightly. Thankfully, Dexter just thought that Josie was suitable. He wasnât in love with her.
Ivy didnât say anything for a long time. Dexter put out his cigarette. âIs there anything else?â
âNo. Iâll be leaving, Mr. Russell.â
Josieâs design was successfully approved in the meeting. She closed the laptop happily and saw him enter the room. She smiled and asked him, âYou didnât secretly manipulate this, did you?â
âWhy arenât you confident in your work?â
âI didnât mean that. Do you know what one of the leaders complimented me?â Josie wanted to laugh, but it tugged on one of the bruises on her face. She grimaI She looked like a child seeking praise after acing a test.
Dexter laughed lightly. âDo you want to rest in the hospital or go home?â
Josie thought about it earnestly. âDo people at the company know I was in an accident?â
âNot only do they know, but they also know that I stepped in to settle the matter. Youâre remarkable, Ms.
Warren.â
She could already imagine the rumors that were going around. âOh no. Theyâre not spreading rumors about us, are they?â More importantly, the rumor was true. She didnât want to face it. âI think I want to go home. Itâs boring to stay in the hospital.â
At this time, she suddenly came to her senses. âBut what about arm, no one will massage him.â
my dad? With my fractured âThereâs the care worker,â Dexter said. âI also told Calvin to let Justin out for these few days so he can take care of your dad.
Thatâs right, thereâs Justin. Josie relaxed. Perhaps it will be more effective when Justin personally repents at Dadâs bed.
âBy the way.â Josie suddenly thought of something. âDexter, has my mom⦠looked for you?â
Her mom had threatened to look for Dexter back at the beauty salon. There had been no news in the past few days. Was Mom just being arrogant?
Dexter looked away and answered indifferently, âNo.â
Thatâs good.
Josie was discharged the next day and returned to Mason Garden. On the way back, Dexter suddenly received a call. âDex, what happened? Was Jo in an accident?â
Henryâs voice was loud. Dexter put his cell phone further away and furrowed his brows. âHow did you know, Grandpa?â
Josie raised her head, perplexed.
âThe Late Wavery News reported on it. They said that an accident happened at Russell Groupâs entrance and even included photos!â
