Chapter 204: Chapter 204

Chapter 204 The Man Saving the Damsel in Distress Laura was good at acting, and Josie was amused Josie was tired from standing in her heels, so she leaned against the wall.

“Getting married is my personal matter. Don’t you know now?” Russell didn’t seem to understand. He took a napkin and wiped Laura’s tears, “What’s the point of finding out now? Laura pointed at Josie. “It’s her. She doesn’t have any status or good looks. How can she marry you? Are you roleplaying as Prince Charming from Cinderella, Mr. Russell!

Since Laura was pointing at Josie, Josie didn’t care. She stuck out her tongue at Laura and answered in low voice. “Because I’m shameless,”

“What the heck!” Laura heard it. She wanted to scratch Josie’s face with her freshly manicured nails.

Dexter held Laura back, and his expression was no longer relaxed. “Where are your manners?”

“Mr. Russell!”

That’s enough. Do you not have anything to do? Just take care of yourself. Leave.”

Laura saw Dexter defending Josie, so she stamped her feet in a fury. She said, “I’ve told Summer about this.”

Josie tried to recall how often she had heard Summer’s name.

Dexter casually took out a pack of cigarettes while asking. “Are you threatening me?”

“No… I just think you shouldn’t be with this woman.”

“Even if it isn’t Josie, it won’t be Summer.” After that, he shouted, “Ivy, send her off.”

Ivy opened the door and entered shortly. “Ms. Brandel.”

Laura took a deep breath. She was almost out of breath from her rage but didn’t dare to say anything. She walked to Josie and gritted her teeth. “Watch out!”

Josie didn’t care.

She didn’t expect Laura to raise her voice suddenly. “Even if I were to apologize, I would apologize to Mr. Carter. The alcohol was spilled on his suit. It was nice for the man to save the damsel in distress. Mr. Russell, your pampered wife is quite capable,”

Josie’s heart immediately thumped. She subconsciously looked at Dexter’s tall and straight figure.

After Laura left, Dexter turned. The cigarette was between his lips, and he signaled for her to take a lighter.

Josie slowly came to her senses. She picked up a lighter from the table before lighting his cigarette. She felt nervous.

When she was about to pull back, he caught her hand. “Rescuing the damsel in distress.”

The Man Saving the Damsel in Distress Josie shivered slightly. “It was a coincidence. Arnold happened to see me.”

Dexter examined her, and his gaze was unclear. “Why didn’t you tell me yesterday?”

“It seemed like you knew her well, so I didn’t dare to say anything. I didn’t want to make more trouble.” Josic stood upright forcefully so she would still look poised.

“Arnold treats you quite well.” Dexter didn’t say anything else. Josie didn’t know how he felt.

Josie didn’t dare to ignore him. She went closer. “Are you jealous?”

Dexter puffed on the cigarette harder than usual and only explained after a moment, “Laura is the daughter of a long-time family friend. She’s connected to me in a few ways and like a younger sister.”

She never imagined he would explain on his own accord and was slightly surprised. “I’m guessing that she must be close to Summer. Mr. Russell, do you think that the woman will destroy me?”

This amused Dexter. He held the cigarette in his mouth between his fingers and raised her chin. “If something like this happens to you again, come to me.”

Josie nodded at once.

“Have you eaten?”

“No.”

“Let’s eat.”

Dexter held her hand and led her to the break room.

He saw the woman behind him ambling, seeming very unwilling. She wasn’t like the calm and collected. Mrs. Russell just now. She seemed more like a child.

Dexter could only console her good-naturedly. “Those people you met just now are in high positions. They won’t spread rumors.”
