Blind Date Turned Proposal

Chapter 213

Chapter 213 Wavery News

It was as though Josie had been set free.

Ivy handled Russell Group’s annual meeting as usual. She worked neatly and tidily, making the proper arrangements. No one else had a say

It was too cold. Josie carried a stack of documents and walked into the department from the outside. Her hands were slightly red. Kevan, who was having a drink at the side, went up to her at once. “Let me help you, Ms. Jo.”

After working together for some time, he stopped calling her ‘Ms. Warren’ and called her ‘Ms. Jo’ instead. Josie didn’t turn him down. She smiled and let him help her. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Alice went to her and pointed at Kevan’s figure. She said meaningfully, “This fellow has potential and is willing to work. He’s a good kid.”

Josie pretended not to understand Alice’s implied meaning. “That’s right. I’m planning to take him along for the next project. He’s a good newcomer.”

Alice clicked her tongue and sighed. “Don’t tell me you didn’t understand what I meant. It’s trendy for older women and younger men to date these days. I think he has feelings for you.”

Josie felt exasperated, annoyed, and amused. She rolled her eyes. “Don’t joke around. I’m married. Why would I date a younger man?”

“Save it. You keep saying you’re married, but why haven’t I seen your husband? He has never picked you up from work. I’m even suspecting that you’re lying to me. Is he disabled, or does he not exist?”

Alice felt aggrieved as she spoke. She could tell that Josie felt guilty. I’m not lying… I’m really married. As for him being disabled…”

If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have fabricated a disabled persona for her husband.

“Actually, you’ve met him.” Josie smiled craftily.

“Don’t talk nonsense. When have I seen him? Why don’t I remember?”

“In any case, you have.” Josie smiled and walked into her office. She didn’t say anything else, leaving Alice baffled.

The weather was cold, but the office was warm. Josie quickly warmed up as she sat in her seat and slacked off. Suddenly, a notification popped up on her cell phone. It was news reporting that Jesse Abbott had committed tax evasion.

Josie was startled. She opened Twitter and was shocked to see the Wavery News account tweet reporting that she had committed tax evasion.

Jesse was first on the trending topics. Everyone was surprised as they discussed it online.

‘Oh, my god. If I remember correctly, she just started to get famous.

“Tsk. Did she think she could keep it under wraps? She has pretty good resources on hand.'”

‘Russell Group was willing to pay a penalty to terminate her contract. It’s because of this

Jesse was immediately considered unscrupulous. The laws regarding celebrities have grown more constrained in recent years. They would be shut out of the industry if they did something unethical. Jesse would be utterly blacklisted now that it was reported in the news.

Josie held her cell phone and sighed. Ivy had previously told her that Dexter terminated Jesse’s contract because he had discovered Jesse’s illegal behavior. It was true, after all. It also meant that he wasn’t punishing Jesse for her sake.

She took a deep breath and was thankful she hadn’t made assumptions.

Someone said that Jesse had long been doing such things. Her company had tried to keep it under wraps but to no avail. It leaked out in the end.

So that’s the reason.

Josie leaned against the chair and looked at the snow outside the window. For some reason, she thought of Arnold. His smile was dazzling that snowy night..

He was also the one who kept warning her not to trust Dexter too much.

Everything was proving to be true, but what could she do? She had a fuzzy feeling in her heart when she thought of Dexter.

It was as if she had a sense of belonging.

Jesse didn’t have anything planned today, and she wouldn’t have any work schedule in the future.

Jesse was still asleep at noon. After calling multiple times without anyone answering, her manager went directly to her house. Before she broke Jesse’s door down. Jesse finally answered the phone. Her voice was weary. “Why are you here? I’ve already been shut out.”
