The Epic Blind Date with My Boss

Chapter 736 I Miss You Too 

Hearing no response from Dexter, Josie repeated, “Dexter, are you there?”

“Would… you fall in love with Arnold?” It was the first time Dexter had asked such a question.

Josie was stunned. At the same time, she sensed the loneliness of a man who was isolated at the and realized that he had fears like any ordinary person.

“Why did you ask?”

Dexter fell silent at her question. Josie sensed his cold and intimidating demeanor even though she could not see him.

“Of course, I won’t, Dex. I only care about Paul right now.” Josie sighed. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“In that case, why did you get Moses to communicate with me instead of asking me yourself?”

Dexter went straight to the point.

Josie was briefly confused before wanting to laugh. She did not expect him to be bothered about such a matter. “Why? Do you miss me, Mr. Russell?”

Dexter hung up. Two minutes later, he sent her detailed information about La Oriele, including a message. ‘Be careful, and don’t act recklessly.

Josie read the information for some time. It detailed La Oriele’s businesses that were against. the law. While La Oriele looked beautiful and law-abiding on the surface, it secretly carried out prostitution and black-market trading. The amount involved was shocking.

It was no wonder that Arnold sought Robert’s help to clear some goods.

Josie messaged back. ‘I miss you too.”

Unbeknownst to her, Dexter, who was sullen, suddenly smiled upon seeing those words.

Heather happened to enter the office at this moment and was stunned to see his smile.

However, Dexter was alert and realized someone had entered. He saw who it was and withdrew his smile. “You’re here early.”

Heather smiled. “Yes. I bought dessert during lunch break. Want to try it with me?”

It was still break time. She entered the office with cakes, smiling so cheerfully that Dexter could not refuse her.

In some ways, they could be considered friends outside of working hours.

“You like dessert a lot,” Dexter observed Heather, seated on the couch, suddenly recalling hist suspicion toward her in Rivodia. It was because she had eaten a birthday cake downstairs at the hotel.

Heather smiled and ate a spoonful of cake. “Yes. My old life was difficult. I needed desserts to cope.”

She spoke casually as if her past no longer bothered her.

Dexter closed his eyes and concealed his emotions.

“Dex, does Mrs. Russell like desserts?” Heather asked suddenly.

Dexter looked at her and saw her smiling at him as usual. “Not really.”

Heather nodded vaguely and offered him her cake. “Want to have a taste?”

Dexter did not like desserts and did not accept her offer. “Did Summer give you trouble after losing that project?”

Heather paused briefly before shaking her head. “No… But Dad was furious and gave many the projects to my brother.”

Her brother was Zach Olsen.

Dexter unconsciously interlinked his fingers on the table. “Your brother has always been undependable. Is your father okay with that?”

“What do you mean? But Laura is with him. She’s intelligent and willing to help Zach with work. Dad recently held her in high regard.”

Dexter arched his eyebrows. “Laura?”

“Yes.” Heather brought half of a small cake and had nearly finished it.

“Seems like she’s doing much better in the Olsen family nowadays.”

“What do you mean?”

Heather appeared innocent that Dexter could not detect any sign of pretense. He smiled. The Olsen family likely kept her out of the shady matters involving their family.

“It’s nothing. He stood up and continued, “If you like desserts, I’ll ask my chef to bring some for you.”

“That will be wonderful.”
