Chapter 167 Let Her Be Your Assistant
Josie was also confused by Dexter’s action. She could not understand why he did it. If Arnold did not save her, that horse would have collided with her and killed her.
Dexter remained cold and indifferent as he brushed the dust off his clothes. Then, he smiled vaguely, “Did you hear that? Arnold treats women like queens. It’s not bad for you to follow him. Once, he held an engagement ceremony in Carter Group to court a woman. It was an enviable sight.”
Arnold’s expression changed visibly as Dexter spoke. His smile was not as easygoing ast before. “Dexter is jealous of me. I’ve dated many women, but he’s alone all these years. I wonder who will get married first.”
Josie’s heart skipped a beat. She sensed there was a deeper meaning to his words.
Meanwhile, Dexter removed his riding clothes and put on his coat, ignoring Arnold.
However, Arnold refused to give up. “Dexter, I like this employee of yours. Can I have her as my assistant? I had many assistants before, but they are not as innocent and soothing as this lovely lady.”
“Since you already have Ivy as your assistant, I guess it won’t affect you much if you lose such a junior employee.”
“That’s no problem at all.” Dexter turned to the side and looked at Josie as he walked past Arnold. “You should ask her yourself if you truly want her.”
Josie felt threatened by his intimidating gaze and said, “I’m honored to have a chance to work
for Mr. Carter.”
Dexter smirked and touched the roof of his mouth with the tip of his tongue. He did not reveal his thoughts about her response. Instead, he said, “In that case, you should follow Mr. Carter home.”
He strode toward the exit after saying that. Josie’s heart clenched as she watched him leave.
Suddenly, Arnold stepped in front of her and blocked her sight of Dexter. He smiled and said, “Seems like you have to come home with me today.”
Josie returned to the Maserati and sat in the front passenger seat in a daze. She rubbed her fingers on her phone and pondered over the matter. That’s just great. Not only did I forget to tell him about Claire and Phil. I even got myself into more trouble.
you Thinking? It was now evening. The light from the set Unlock succeeded Arnett with colorful hues. His side profile reminded Josie of a fund
You’re wondering why Dexter tried to crash his horse into you.”
Arnold correctly guessed what Josie was thinking, but she refused to admit it. “I was wondering whether you will send me home.”
Arnold was surprised by her response. “Don’t you know women all over Wavery desire to share my bed?”
“I know.” Josie took a deep breath before continuing. “But I think you’re a righteous. gentleman. You won’t behave inappropriately with someone like me.”
“A righteous gentleman? Who told. you this?”
“Rumors say you pulled all stops to pursue a woman in the past. I feel I can trust such a dedicated man,” Josie replied, choosing her words carefully.
Arnold sneered and drove the car to the ground floor of Carter Group building. “Did Dexter tell you this?”
Josie shook her head slowly.
“You don’t have to hide. After all, I have never hidden anything from you.” Arnold exited the car and opened the door for Josie. “Furthermore, you’ve guessed incorrectly. I’m not a righteous gentleman.”
Josie looked at Carter Group’s sign and asked, “Where are you bringing me?”
It seemed every president had a lounge in their office. However, Arnold’s lounge was in a completely different style from Dexter’s. Moreover, there were all kinds of alcoholic drinks. in the room. It was a dazzling sight.
Arnold poured a glass of red wine and swirled it. “I’m serious about what I offered, Josie. Do you want to join Carter Group? You don’t have to work as an undercover.”
