Chapter 219 Groping
After leaving Dexter’s office, Josie stood still and said to Ivy, “Ms. Miller, I apologize in advance for any
mistakes.”
Ivy stood upright and smiled insincerely. “It’s just an annual meeting. It’s nice to have another pair of hands to help.
I have many things to do anyway. Thank you for sharing the burden with me.”
Since she had said that, Josie’s smile widened.
Josie didn’t understand Dexter’s thoughts, but he must have had his intentions for doing such a thing. Moreover, it
was good to train herself.
Josie needed help, so she chose two trustworthy employees in the design department, Alice and Kevan. She
considered the latter and felt she should give the young person a chance.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Ms. Jo. you’re already the head of the department at twenty-two years old. It’s a big deal,” Kevan said with a smile
while working.
“Twenty-two years old isn’t young for a woman. More female college graduates are emerging, and I will be
replaced sooner or later, Josie replied with a bitter smile while working.
“How can that be? The experience that comes with age is incomparable.” Kevan was unconcerned. “I like older
women.”
“Are you going back for the holidays, Kevan?” Josie thought of his résumé and the background investigation done
on him. He wasn’t local and didn’t have a great family background. He had come from a rural area.
Kevan was startled and quickly answered, “Do I need to work overtime? I don’t have to go home.”
Alice snorted in laughter. “Don’t worry. Although working in Russell Group is stressful, the company treats us well.
We don’t have to work during the holidays. Ms. Jo is just concerned about you.”
Kevan scratched his head and glanced at Josie shyly. She was moving swiftly and packing up. A gentle smile was in
the corner of her mouth.
“I should be going home. My parents miss me.” He asked, “Are you going home, Ms. Jo?”
“Of course. My family is here.
He wanted to say something but stopped. After that, they left the office together. “I heard that your father is in poor
health, Ms. Jo. You can call me at any time if you need help.”
Josie patted his head. “You don’t have to worry. I’m fine.”
Dexter saw this scene when they walked to the entrance of the office. The man beside Josie looked honest. She
patted his head like she would a puppy.
The signal lights of his car flashed, and Alice immediately noticed it. “Jo, isn’t that Mr. Russell’s car?”
Josie looked over and immediately denied it. “How would I know? I don’t know. Who cares…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey parted at the intersection, and Josie walked to the bus stop. She only sneaked back secretly after. Alice and
Kevan had left. She got into the car while no one was looking and looked like a thief.
“Why did you stop your car at the office entrance?” She patted her chest. Her heart was beating furiously.
Dexter narrowed his eyes and saw how helpless she looked. “Who was that man just now?”
Josie was taken aback before she understood who he was referring to. She said, “It’s Kevan Quiring. He’s newly
employed and has just passed probation.”
“Do you grope new hires?” His voice was cold, and it terrified Josie.
She took a sip of water and looked down. “It was subconscious. I won’t do it again.”
The car drove, and Dexter answered emails on his laptop. He didn’t say anything, and he still had a dark
expression. He ignored her. xo.com fast update
Josie carefully went closer to him. He shut his laptop and met her gaze. “What’s up?”
“Where are we going, Mr. Russell?” she asked boldly.
