Blind Date Turned Proposal novel Chapter 948

"Mr. Lockhart," Dexter's voice drawled out, "What about you?"

Seth was taken aback. "What?"

"Have you ever considered sitting in my position over all these years?"

Dexter's eyes were as sharp as a knife's edge, capable of piercing straight into someone's heart.

Seth was startled before ingratiating lines carved his face. "Mr. Russell, my loyalty to you has never wavered over all these years. Not even for a second, and the heavens can bear witness to that. Moreover, I've always believed that Russell Group can only continue to thrive under your leadership!"

He spoke with absolute conviction and flattery. Seeing Dexter withdraw his gaze, he continued, "Rest assured, the shares in my hands will never be sold to Mr. Harrison."

After hearing this, Dexter's expression remained unreadable. He ordered his men to see the guest out. Once Seth had left, Larry stepped forward and whispered, "Should we keep an eye on Mr. Lockhart?"

Dexter hummed in agreement, picking up his coffee cup and taking a sip.

Larry hesitated for a bit, then added, "Mr. Russell, please don't take this the wrong way, but Ms. Warren also holds some shares of Russell Group."

The meaning of the words was apparent.

Before, Josie had never considered meddling in Russell Group's affairs, but since Larry suddenly brought it up, she belatedly recalled that she did indeed possess some shares of Russell Group.

When they divorced, Dexter personally gave her one percent of it.

But what can this one percent do?

Dexter probably felt the same way and said, "Hers doesn't count." He didn't want to involve her in the intricate and complex internal affairs.

The conversation ended, and Josie took off her headphones, sitting in a daze. Just then, her phone rang. It was a call from Morgan.

The voice from the other side was as languid as ever. "Are you with Dexter?"

Josie walked barefoot to the balcony. With a hint of helplessness in her voice, she grumbled, "Why do you ask when you already know?"

Dexter's gaze fell on her bare, pristine feet. Josie was reminded of past instances when he had scolded her for not wearing shoes, and she subconsciously brought her feet together.

"Why are you here?"

"To get my clothes."

After they parted ways, nothing in the room was moved, including the items in the closet.

Josie let out a sigh, bypassed him to shut the laptop, and waited in silence.

Dexter took his clothes and went into the bathroom, and the sound of water carried into the room. Josie's phone vibrated, indicating a message from Morgan. It read: The Bastille Group and Russell Group are currently vying for the remaining projects after the Carter Group's dissolution. If possible, can you help me find some documents?

Josie scrolled down, viewing the content of the documents. She had seen them before in Dexter's study.

Perhaps fearing her reluctance, Morgan sent another text: Russell Group might not necessarily need these materials, so there's no need to feel burdened. I've helped you a lot, Jo. Help me out just this once.
