Blind Date Turned Proposal

Chapter 22

“Alright. Don’t bring her up again.”

The colleagues exchanged gazes and remained quiet. However, Samantha was even more sullen. She wanted her brother to take revenge for her, but he ignored her.

Josie is such a thorn in the *ss. I’m going to make her life so hard – just she waits.

Patrick’s resignation changed the atmosphere of the design department; it wasn’t as depressing as before.

The manager from the human resources department walked over.

“Hi guys, I’m here to announce a new manager.”

Everyone looked at her.

Samantha walked over with a smile.

“We have decided to make Samantha the interim manager to complete our current projects.”

Samantha lifted her chin haughtily. “Thanks for understanding, everyone. I will lead our department in a better direction.”

Alice resented the new change.

“Why is she the new manager? She acts all high and mighty even after stealing Josie’s designs. Isn’t she worried about karma?”

“Alice, it doesn’t do you any good to badmouth her. Be careful of crossing our new boss,” another colleague said.

Alice lifted her head and looked at Josie, who was not far from her.

Josie was looking at her laptop solemnly.

“What’s wrong, Josie?”

Ever since the virus attack, her laptop had not been functioning well. It was a virus that couldn’t be killed by a regular anti-virus program. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“My laptop is not working.”

“Isn’t it fixed?”

She shook her head. Obviously, the thief wouldn’t want to leave her a workable option. Because of that, her job was affected.

“Don’t worry about it. I will find someone to fix it after work. It should be fine.”

With that, she shut it down. Suddenly, Samantha appeared and threw a bunch of documents on her desk.

“Josie, tidy these documents up today. I want them on my desk before the end of the day.”

Samantha turned around and walked away without even giving her an opportunity to reply.

Josie was speechless. Since Samantha was her boss, Josie had to take her orders.

Samantha’s sidekick was impressed to see that. “Wow, Sam. You’re the only one who can do that here.”

Samantha beamed widely. “Take note of how you address me.”

“Yes, Ms. Robson.”

Samantha was elated. She still had no idea why she was promoted to manager; many other candidates were more qualified than her. She couldn’t believe her luck.

Nothing can stop me from being lucky now.

“Let’s have dinner with the girls tonight.”

“Sure, Ms. Robson.”

Josie dealt with the paperwork the entire morning. Finally, the height of the documents was decreased by a third. She stretched and looked at the time – it was already lunch hour.

“Let’s go for lunch, Alice.”

Alice quickly shut down her laptop and went to the office canteen with Josie.

The atmosphere at the canteen was different from usual, but Josie was oblivious.

After taking the food, she saw Dexter eating at a table just as she sat down.
