Chapter 186 Fell Asleep
What does he mean? Not only is he attending, but he is also bringing me along as well? Is he announcing our relationship?
Incredulity colored her eyes. She got away from his grip and announced, “I won’t go.”
“Try it.”
With that, he left the room resolutely and slammed the door lightly.
The lighter he closed the door, the more furious he actually was.
Left alone in the room, Josie couldn’t fall asleep. It was only around dawn that she finally slept, but countless worries still lingered in her mind.
The next day, she was woken up quite late in the morning.
She felt embarrassed about it, especially because of Henry’s presence.
He didn’t blame her at all. Looking at the dark circles under her eyes, he said, “Looks like you didn’t sleep well last night.”
It was impossible for her to leave the house alone with him there, so she got into Dexter’s car and left with him to Russell Group.
She shut her eyes to rest; partly due to her lack of sleep, and the other to avoid speaking with him.
Unexpectedly, she dozed off in the warm and cozy car.
She had no clue how she was able to sleep for so long without any dreams. But when she woke up, it was dark around her, and the seat was lowered down completely. She noticed a blanket on her body which kept her warm.
She rubbed her eyes as she slowly sat up. After looking around her surroundings, she noticed she was still in Dexter’s car, but he was nowhere to be seen. The car key was still in the ignition, perhaps left there on purpose to allow her to leave easily.
She patted her forehead, annoyed and relieved that he didn’t lock her in the car.
When she looked at the time, she was surprised that it was already in the afternoon.
Josie took the keys and locked the car while thinking resentfully, Why didn’t hewake me up?
future development was held.
Dexter was sitting at his desk with a row of experienced managers in front of him. While they were discussing the subject, their drinks were being refilled by the secretaries. constantly.
However, Dexter seemed distracted by another screen showing the footage of his car. Josie was still sleeping soundly in the car, occasionally turning around.
I increased the temperature in the car before leaving and left the window slightly open. There wouldn’t be any problems, would it? He then looked at the time. It’s almost lunch hour soon. How is she still asleep?
The managers noticed that he was growing visibly more irate. Interrupting his thoughts, they said, “Mr. Russell, are you still with us?”
Dexter cleared his throat and repeated what they had just reported despite being distracted momentarily.
Noticing they had just committed a faux pas, the managers stopped questioning him. Fortunately for them, Dexter was in a good mood that day.
“Let’s call it a day,” he concluded.
As the managers filed out of the room, Ivy stopped taking the meeting minutes and asked, “Is it time for lunch, Mr. Dexter?”
He closed the cap of his golden-plated fountain pen and placed it on the table. Just when he was about to get up, he saw Josie being stirred awake from the screen.
She seemed confused and dazed upon awakening but soon folded the blanket and placed it neatly aside. Then, she took his keys and got out of the car like a confused squirrel.
Ivy saw a small smile creeping up on his face, one he probably didn’t even notice himself. The genuine smile broke through the indifferent mask he usually put on.
After two seconds of pause, the mask resumed as he announced, “Let’s go.”
Josie also went to the company cafeteria directly. As soon as Alice saw her, she waved.
“Ms. Warren!”
