Chapter 311 Iâm Willing to Step Down Dexterâs chest burned with raging fury. His tone turned icy cold, âWhy are you here?â
âTo get your signature.â Josie touched his chest and helped him button up his shirt. She showed no reaction to the hickeys on his chest. âI didnât mean to interrupt. You should have a good talk with her later. or she will be sadâ¦â
Dexter grabbed her hand before she could finish speaking. He narrowed his eyes. âDoesnât it bother you?â
Josie looked at him and asked, âWhat should I be bothered about?â
Dexter leaned down slightly and was momentarily stunned as he looked into her sparkling eyes. Sheâs right. What do I want her to be bothered about?
He frowned and replied calmly, âAsk me, and I will explain.â
Josie closed her eyes before opening them again. She looked alluring as she said, âBut Iâm not interested to know.â
Dexter/knew what she was feeling. âWhat do you want me to do then?â
âIâm willing to step down from my position if needed,â Josie answered frankly.
âWhat did you say?â Dexter growled.
âIâm willing to step down if neededâ¦â
âI dare you to say it again!â
âIâm willing toâ¦â
A strong masculine scent suddenly assailed Josieâs nostrils. Suddenly, her lips were forcefully sealed by a kiss.
He bit her lips and pushed his tongue against her teeth, forcing them to open. Then, his tongue dived in, filling her mouth with a familiar taste. However, she immediately pushed him away.
Their chests rose and fell from exertion. At the same time, they glared at each other fiercely as if seeing their most hated enemies.
Josie breathed in. Her head felt dizzy. She was unsure why she pushed him away. All she knew was that she felt disgusted in the brief moment they kissed.
âJosie, are you jealous?â Dexter opened his eyes and asked earnestly.
Josie shook slightly as she looked at how stern Dexter was despite being in a ladiesâ room. He leaned down slightly and seemed serious about his question.
Seeing him like this struck a massive blow to her confidence. She laughed in anger. âExcuse me, Mr.
Russell. Why would I be jealous about that? You were only making out with a woman in the ladiesâ
room. It didnât develop beyond that. All that happened was that she kissed you. Iâm not that petty.â
Dexter pressed a hand to his forehead upon hearing her. He took a few steps closer and explained, âA business partner tried to scheme against me. He sent the woman to trick me into coming here. I didnât know she would be here.â
Josie calmly retreated a few steps. âIs that so? With your level of intelligence, you must have known that it was a trap, right? Yet, you still chose to come here.â
How far would they have gone if I hadnât shown up?
Josie was usually not that quarrelsome. She would normally tone down once he explained. However, she did not do that this time but disputed with him.
Dexter did not think he had done anything wrong, and his patience ran thin. He narrowed his furiously gleaming eyes. âJosie, have you had enough?â
Iâve only just started. He already canât stand it?
Josie wanted to laugh. Hearing his harsh words against her made her determined to argue back. âI suppose I can stop now. If I were to bring up all your scandals, it would take days. There would be no end to it. After all, you have so many female companions.â
On the other hand, I, his legal wife, am as insignificant as an ant to him.
Her words caused Dexter to burst into fury. He almost cursed out loud. âJosie, why are you still holding it against me? Iâve dealt with the plagiarism matter for you. You didnât lose anything.â
Dexter still thought he had done a great service for her. That made Josie feel even more dejected.
