Chapter 163 Her Turn to Help
Josie was stunned. Does he want to see me fight with Claire?
“Erm, I don’t have my bodyguard today. I’m too weak to fight her.”
Arnold glanced at her phone and realized it was an old model that came out many years ago. There were a few cracks on the screen. It seemed Josie was a frugal person. “Why are you scared? Aren’t I here? It will be two against one. We can easily win.”
Josie did not dare to cause trouble, especially when Dexter was not around. Moreover, she was with Arnold, a man of dubious intentions. “Forget it. It’s the company’s internal matter. I better investigate it further.”
She forcefully snatched her phone back and discovered there was no reception. It meant her photo was not sent out. She had no choice but to request Arnold to turn on his mobile hotspot. It was embarrassing.
Then, she pursed her lips and considered before saying, “Mr. Carter, you’re overthinking. I only desire to do my best for Russell Group and have zero interest in being Mr. Russell’s wife. Please don’t get me into trouble with Mr. Russell. I don’t want to lose my job.”
She spoke sincerely. Her words sounded like something any employee would say.
Arnold smiled slightly upon hearing her and became interested in her expression.
“Mr. Carter?” She could not figure out the meaning behind his smile.
“Arnold,” Arnold corrected.
Josie was rendered speechless. Suddenly, Phil came out of the racecourse and no longer the documents. He quickly entered his car and sped away, leaving the place with Claire.
Josie saw Arnold sitting still and asked tentatively, “Should we leave? You can drop me by the road, and I’ll get a taxi to send me home.” What bad luck. Why do I always get into some unexpected situation whenever I bump into him?
However, Arnold unlocked the doors and exited the car. “I helped you. It’s now your turn to help me.”
Josie soon found herself being led ahead by his arm around her shoulder. She sensed she would be dragged into some conspiracy. “I can’t ride a horse.”
“I’ll teach you.”
he ratecourse was around the size of two soccer fields. Usually, o
get in, but a uniformed staff rushed over upon seeing Arnold. He opened the door and greeted respectfully, “Good to see you, Mr. Carter Junior.”
Josie could not resist her curiosity and whispered, “Why did they call you Mr. Carter Junior?”
“Have you considered that maybe I have a father?”
Oh, so that’s why.
They entered a car arranged for them and sped toward their location. The driver said, “Mr. Carter, Mr. Russell has been waiting for some time.”
Mr. Russell? Did he mean Dexter Russell? He’s here?
Josie panicked when she pieced together that they would be meeting Dexter. She gripped Arnold’s wrist. “What’s the meaning of this?”
No wonder he knew where Mr. Yves would be going. He is supposed to meet Dexter here.
Arnold was slightly astonished by her reaction but soon became curious. “Why are you so afraid of him? It’s not like he can do anything to you.”
That’s not the issue. The problem is what he will think when seeing me show up with another man. It will be hard to explain.
“I’m Russell Group’s employee. It will be unseemly if I keep being seen hanging out with the head of Carter Group. Mr. Carter, please understand my situation and let me out of the car,” Josie forced herself to explain despite being on the verge of tears.
“Hanging out. I like this word.” Arnold grabbed her hand and said, “You showed different. sides of yourself to Dexter. Sometimes you behaved submissively and acted cute to coax him. Other times, you seemed rational and serious. Yet, you always behaved professionally with me.”
“However, your progress is too slow. I can help you to speed up your growth when required. Do you wish to try?”
Josie could not understand what he was talking about and was not interested. She desperately wanted to jump out of the car.
