Chapter 479 Negotiation Meeting Arnold paused as he buttoned his cuff. He wrinkled his brows. âWhy is she here!
For businessâ
âIs she in a tough spot!â
âNo.
Arnold walked out of the room. âThatâs good.â
Time passed, and the atmosphere on the first floor was utterly boisterous. A popular, scantily-clad girl band danced frantically and sensually on a large stage. Offstage, everyone raised their glasses. Some were exhilarated, and some only sat as they drank. They were cut off from the outside world and were nonchalant.
On the other end, Josie lamented that Arnold had created a great atmosphere. She found the reception and wanted to book a private roomâs hot springs but was notified that she needed to reserve in advance.
Those fellows didnât lie.
She was just about to look for Angel and Jade. She turned around, and someone tapped her shoulder while calling out softly, âMrs. Russell.â
Josie was surprised. She turned and saw Larry in the light. âYou.â
Larry pulled her to a corner. âWhy are you here?â
âI came to deal with work, of course. He Is Dexter around?â
Larry nodded. âCome with meâ
Because of the low light, Josie sprained her leg as she walked down the stairs. She suddenly felt a piercingly painful sensation. It hurt so much that she was about to cry.
The door of the luxurious private room opened on the top floor, and the man was leaning against the couch. His face was partly dark, and his demeanor was dignified yet threatening. He had a neat appearance.
Dexter had just finished a call and frowned when he saw the woman limp.
Josie asked Larry, âDo you have an antiseptic spray?â
Larry came to his senses. Iâll look for it now.â After that, he immediately found a small medical box, located the spray, and gave it to her.
Josie took it from him and walked to Dexterâs side miserably. It was hard to conceal her guilty conscience.
I sprained my leg Dexter was calm. He knew her ploy but didnât object. He took the bottle from her.
Josie immediately raised her legs up cleverly and put them in his lap His voice was ice cold. âWhich leg âThe left leg. Ah, not so hard⦠It hurts.â
âHow did you sprain it?â
âI walked too fast because I wanted to see youâ¦â
The manâs eyes darkened, and he glanced at her solemnly. His hand on her ankle was warm. âDonât try and flatter me. Why are you here today?â
âIt was Lauraâs job, but she was injured, so I could only come on her behalf. You wonât blame me, will you?â She often acted coy around him these days.
Dexter rubbed her ankle. âLittle vixen.â
Josie leaned against his neck and felt very secure. âWhy are you here? I heard that this is Arnoldâs place.â
âItâs clearly for business and a negotiation meeting.
Before she could nod, Larry added, âMr. Russell announced for a mid-way break when he knew you were around. He has to go on.â
Josieâs eyes lit up. Dexter was displeased at Larry, but before Dexter could say anything, his work phone near the couch suddenly started vibrating.
Josie was surprised. She fished out the cell phone from the crack behind her and turned to look at the caller ID before giving it to Dexter. She had a haughty tone. âWho is it? Thereâs no caller ID.â
Dexter took it from her and deliberately wanted to infuriate her. âMy mistress. Do you believe that?â
Josie smiled and didnât say anything because he had already answered the call.
Andy left the room.
