Chapter 209 An Expert on Romance
But of course, when Arnold’s assistant came to fetch him to his office shortly after, the girl immediately went from energetic to reserved. Are you a big shot?”
Arnold was fascinated by her astonishment. He finished the bagel in his hands and gave her a name card. “You can apply for a job at my company if you’re interested.”
He thought a girl like her was rare to come by after meeting many hypocrites.
After that, Lillian came to apply for a job, and he hired her. He placed her by his side.
Josie was slightly surprised when she heard it. She teased him. “You really are fond of women. Mr. Carter. It’s no wonder Mr. Russell says you’re an expert on romance.”
“Compared to these people, I like your tenacity more, Arnold said flirtatiously.
Josie couldn’t take it and dared not look at his bright eyes. “You think too highly of me. Mr. Carter. I’m just an ordinary woman. Don’t put me up on a pedestal.”
Arnold looked at her closely. “You’re ordinary indeed.”
It was pretty rude. Josie almost choked.
“But I like it. Josie, I wasn’t just testing Dexter when I asked him for you the past few times.”
This made Josie vigilant. Before she could say anything, a loud honking noise suddenly rang behind them. Arnold reacted quickly and shouted, “Be careful!” He pulled her to the side.
The roads were slippery since it was snowing. The two fell to the ground and were covered in snow. A car lost control and drove into the railing. It was trapped, and there was smoke.
Josie was trembling in fear, and she couldn’t come to her senses for a long time.
Arnold breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was okay. He lay back in the snow, relieved. “Thankfully, I have quick reflexes. Dexter would kill me if you died when you were with me.”
Smoke was billowing in front of them, and Josie shut her eyes at once. Thank you. I will remember that you saved me.”
Arnold smiled. He looked up. “Will you agree to everything I ask you to do?”
This person is fearless. Josie poked his chest viciously. “I won’t do anything that goes against my principles!”
Arnold winced. “You owe me a favor. I will redeem it from you when I need it.”
Josie regretted it. She had just wanted to go for a walk but now unexpectedly owed Arnold a favor.
The fire and police departments arrived quickly, and Arnold immediately led her away. “It’s very troublesome to be interrogated. I don’t want to waste time.”
It was windy at night, and few people were on the road. He held Josie’s hand and ran wildly to the end of the road. His heart beat furiously.
Josie was forced to follow him. She could only see his figure from behind as she gasped. She suddenly felt that she was back in her teens.
After a long time, Arnold stopped running. He let go of her hand. “How are you going home?”
“The driver is waiting for me.” Josie looked down and quickly walked to the car. She turned back halfway. “Arnold.”
He listened calmly.
“You’re not allowed to sensationalize what happened today. You can’t take advantage of me.” She was worried that she would trouble Dexter.
Arnold’s smile dimmed. He said in a low voice, “Are you so worried about Dexter? Don’t worry. I’m not him. I’m not so despicable.”
“You’re the vile one,” Josie retorted softly. After that, she quickly ran to the driver waiting for her. The driver asked, “Did your gathering go on for so long, Mrs. Russell? Mr. Russell has called and asked if you’ve returned home.”
Josie’s heart sank. “What did you say?”
“Just like you instructed, I said you’re home.”
