Chapter 58
After a moment, the three of them looked at each other but quickly responded, “We’ll go right now.”
They walked out side by side and exchanged their misgivings softly. “This can be solved with a phone call. Why does Mr. Russell want us to go in person?”
“Forget it. Mr. Russell must have his reasons.”
At that moment, Dexter’s ‘reason’ was fast asleep on the couch.
Dexter wanted to laugh, and he did. He laughed in rage.
He was sending people away on her behalf, but she was sleeping peacefully here.
After a sleepless night, Josie was exhausted. She fell asleep as soon as she was on the couch but couldn’t sleep well. Her long black lashes trembled, and her tiny mouth was slightly pursed. She was no different from a child.
She had no airs and graces when she slept, and the baby fat was apparent on her face. From this angle, she looked more like Lily from back then… Dexter was engrossed as he watched her. He couldn’t help but lean closer and reach out a finger to poke her face.
It was very soft.
He didn’t notice the smile he had on his face.
“No! Don’t hit me!” Josie suddenly cried out loud. She had awoken in fright, and her body shivered subconsciously. She bumped into the man before her, and her lips brushed across his face because of the proximity.
Josie’s eyes widened, and she looked disbelievingly at the scene before her.
The two of them were very close. They breathed lightly into each other’s ears.
Dexter’s heart sank. The lips that had touched his were very soft. They were so supple that it made him want to go closer.
Her breathing was rushed, and her warm breath sprayed into his ear.
His brows wrinkled tightly.
Josie jumped away quickly, covering her lips with her hands as she stuttered, “I! You! I don’t know! I fell asleep! I didn’t know you were in front of me… Wait, what were you doing?”
Dexter stood up and touched his face with his fingers. “… I was going to wake you up.”
“… Oh…” Josie didn’t know what to say.
“Aren’t you leaving?”
The door of the break room was open. It seemed like Dexter had things under control.
Josie didn’t wait another second. She immediately picked up her bag and ran out. The sound of her heartbeat almost drowned out everything else.
Dexter’s head was starting to hurt. He slammed the break room’s door fiercely. How outrageous. His heart was racing furiously because of Josie.
Josie took the elevator down to the twenty-seventh floor, and she felt her soul floating behind her. Did I just kiss Dexter?
Is that considered a kiss? It shouldn’t be… We just touched lips for 0.00001 of a second.
So why is the sensation lasting so long? Why isn’t it going away?
“Josie! Why did you just arrive? Do you know that you’re an hour late? This can be considered absence without leave!”
Claire berated her sternly as soon as she stepped into the design department.
Josie’s eyes had lost focus, and she didn’t hear a thing. “Huh? Oh.”
“… Forget about your perfect attendance record this month!”
“Okay.”
Claire and the rest of the design department were slightly surprised.
Josie cared about her perfect attendance record so much. Was she okay with it?
Upon seeing her act strangely, Claire couldn’t be bothered to deal with her and turned to return to her office.
Alice hit Josie’s head with a file. “What’s wrong with you? You look like your spirit has left your body. Did you bump into a ghost?”
Josie drank a big gulp of water and waved her hands. “You might not believe it even if I told you. It’s more absurd than bumping into a ghost.”
Alice was dumbstruck. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Josie was muddleheaded the entire morning because of this episode. When she ate lunch, she suddenly thought of something. Who is Dexter? He’s met every type of woman and won’t take this seriously. Since he won’t take it seriously, why am I brooding over it?”
As she thought about it, she became a lot more relaxed!
