Chapter 161 Helping Out
The man seemed to notice Josie as she turned away. He pushed Claire into the car and walked toward where Josie was hiding. The sound of his footsteps gradually came near.
Josie closed her eyes and thought she would cause a commotion and run if he came too close. However, as the man was about to reach her hiding place, a big hand covered her mouth, causing her to widen her eyes in shock. Then, she saw a figure appearing from her side.
The person’s face gradually came into view. It was Arnold.
He wore a suit and a pair of leather shoes, making it seem like he was here for business matters. His face seemed intimidatingly cold when he was not smiling. He glanced at her and pulled her behind him.
Then, he walked out of the hiding spot toward the man, behaving like he was only passing by.
“Mr. Yves?”
The middle-aged man, who was called Phil Yves, instantly relaxed his expression. He was confused briefly before recognizing Arnold. “Is that you, Mr. Carter? What brings you here?” Phil immediately extended his hand for a handshake.
Arnold played with car keys in his hands before shaking Phil’s hand. “I came to the hospital for a checkup. I thought you seemed familiar but couldn’t recall who you were. Then, I realized it’s you, Mr. Yves.”.
Phil smiled even wider than before. He let down his guard and said, “It’s me who should have recognized you sooner. I didn’t expect to see you here, Mr. Carter. We have only met briefly. before this. I’m honored that you remember me.”
Arnold walked past him and looked at the Mercedes Benz. “You’re doing pretty well.”
He smirked and continued, “Russell Group must have paid you handsomely.”
Phil suddenly appeared awkward. “It’s still okay.”
“What brings you to the hospital, Mr. Yves.”
“Oh… I came here with a relative. It’s also for a health checkup.”
Arnold nodded politely and seemed no longer interested in the conversation. He retreated
and said Anyway I’ll take my leave first.
Phil nodded, eager to be on Arnold’s good side. He watched Arnold leave. Then, he stood on his toes to look more closely, ensuring he did not miss anything.
I don’t think Mr. Carter is the kind of person who would hide someone like her. I must have been
mistaken.
Soon, Phil entered his Mercedes Benz and left the car park. Josie finally breathed a sigh of relief. She did not expect Arnold to show up suddenly or that he would help her. She said worriedly, “That… That man is the manager of Russell Group’s human resource department!”
Arnold stood relaxed against the car door. “I know.”
Josie was suddenly stumped. There was something even more unbelievable that she could. not discuss with him, such as why Phil and Claire were together. Are Mr. Yves and Claire a couple? But Russell Group prohibits office romance. Furthermore, Claire committed many crimes. Since they are a couple, could Mr. Yves be involved in my car accident?
I need to find out about this.
Josie desperately wished that Dexter was with her and not Arnold.
“Ms. Warren, even though we didn’t team up, I still helped you. Aren’t you going to thank me?” Arnold playfully tapped on his car.
“Thank you.” Josie woke up from her thoughts. “Unfortunately, I have to deal with urgent. matters, Mr. Carter. Let’s chat another time.”
She immediately tried to run to chase after the car, but an arm blocked her way. “Get in my
car.”
Josie pursed her lips.
Arnold liked to show off and loved driving sports cars. His blue Maserati attracted much. attention as it cruised on the road. Josie sat stiffly in the front passenger seat. She recalled. that Dexter preferred to keep a low profile and drove a Porsche for work matters. He would only drive a sports car in his personal time.
Arnold sped up and soon caught up with Phil’s Mercedes Benz. Josie was surprised. “Mr. Carter, how do you know they are on this road?”
Arnold turned the steering wheel and did not answer her question. “Can you call me Arnold?”
