Blind Date Turned Proposal

Chapter 14

“Josie.”

Josie was stunned to hear Dexter’s voice. He walked to her and pulled her hand. “It’s already after working hours. Why haven’t you gone home?”

She wanted to escape his grip, but he increased his strength as he looked at the scarred-face man.

“What’s up with you guys?”

The man snorted coldly. Since Dexter was alone, he didn’t treat him as a threat.

“What? Gonna be a hero? Let’s see if you’re up for it.”

With that, he attacked Dexter with a club.

Dexter narrowed his eyes. Just when the club was an inch away from his face, he grabbed it before throwing a punch at that man.

The man grunted and groaned, clutching his cheeks.

The rest of the group didn’t catch what had just happened. They looked at the situation in stunned silence.

The scarred-faced man pointed at Dexter. “You played dirty!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Dexter crushed his hand. Everyone there could hear his bones crack.

“Now you know who you shouldn’t cross.”

“Ouch!”

The man groaned in pain.

“Bro, I’m sorry. I’ll never do it again.”

Dexter finally let go of him after hearing that.

At that moment, a security guard from the company rushed over.

“Call the police. Let them sit in jail for a few days.”

“No! Please let us go!”

No matter what they said, Dexter’s resolve remained the same. He looked at Josie and asked, “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.” Then, she winked at him. “I didn’t know you could fight, Mr. Russell.”

After complimenting him, she realized they were still holding hands and quickly let go.

“Thanks. Since it’s late, I’ll be heading home.” With that, she wanted to leave, but he grabbed her hand again.

“I think we are going in the same direction. I’ll send you back.”

Then, Josie was thrown into the car as though she were a pet. She wanted to complain but quickly shut her mouth after seeing his expression.

No one uttered another word on their way back until the car was parked in the garage.

As Josie unbuckled her seatbelt, Dexter asked, “What was that?”

“Hmph?”

Then, she realized what he was referring to. “It’s not a big deal.” She didn’t want to elaborate on the rumors in the company. “Thanks for helping me out.”

Dexter frowned. “Are you sure it’s nothing?”

Josie quickly smiled. “Yes. It’s nothing at all.” novelbin

“Give me your phone.”

Though confused, she handed her phone to him obediently.

He punched in a series of numbers. Soon, his phone rang.

“This is my personal number. If you are in any trouble, you can call me directly.”

Josie was stunned to see that. “This… isn’t appropriate, is it?” she said softly.

“Yeah?”

She quickly took her phone back. “Nothing. Thanks, Mr. Russell. Can I get out now?”

After getting his approval, she quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car. In no time, the sound of a car engine roared. Right after that, the car was gone from the garage.
