Chapter 187 Go Home Alone
Josie stumbled. “Please don’t call me that! It’s embarrassing!”
“Ms. Warren,” Alice teased. “Aren’t you taking today off?”
Josie sat down with a frown. “A-Am I?”
Alice choked on her drink. “Are you experiencing memory loss because of all those all- nighters? You posted the message in the
group chat.”
Josie took her phone to verify the information. She read the message that was sent under her
name.
I’m taking the day off. Put the rest of the documents on hold.
There was a torrent of replies after that message.
‘What’s wrong?”
‘Did something happen?’
‘Is everything ok?’
Josie sighed as she knew who actually sent the message. Who else has access to my phone? And the commanding tone…
Josie dug into the meal as she silently cursed herself for falling asleep.
Why did he take the day off for me? Does he really think I can sleep for the entire day?
On the other hand, Jesse was on the trending page again, using her injury to gain popularity. However, surprisingly, she didn’t mention Dexter anymore.
She mentioned it was just an accident in her post, but she couldn’t deter the netizens from being Sherlock Holmes.
‘It’s clearly done by someone else on purpose!’
‘I feel so sorry for her. Who’s that sick perpetrator?’
Alice flared up when she read the post. ‘What a b*tch!”
Soon, #JesseWasScalded was trending.
Upon seeing that, Josie decided not to pay Jesse a visit. We are even now.
“What did Arnold want from you yesterday?”
Alice looked slightly shy. “He asked about the entire story. It looks like he is quite concerned about you.
Do you think he likes you?”
Josie choked on the soup she had been drinking. “Stop your wild fantasies.”
When it was time to get off work, Ivy suddenly appeared at Josie’s office. In an unfriendly tone, she said, “Mr. Russell has another dinner tonight. The driver will be with him, and he asked me to pass this key to you, along with the message – “Take care when you drive home.”
Josie didn’t care about the message at all. To her, Dexter was merely doing that to avoid getting a lecture from Henry. She nodded and flashed a fake smile at Ivy. “You’re not planning to kill me, are you?”
“I’m not that stupid,” Ivy replied through gritted teeth.
Josie drove slowly in the rain, but her mind was cluttered with different thoughts.
It never rains but it pours. Against her wishes, she got into an accident.
Thud!
She slammed the brakes immediately as her dazed eyes shifted into focus. Then, she got out of the car in a fluster.
To her dismay, she accidentally bumped into the car in front of her.
The other driver was a young man. In fact, he was only a teenager, to be more accurate.
He crossed his arms as he looked at the huge scratch on his car.
“Are
you blind? How did you get your driver’s license? Are you blind?” he bellowed.
Josie was stunned after being yelled at. When he stopped, she replied apologetically. “I’m sorry. This is completely my fault. Have you called the police? I’ll pay for all the damages.”
She was lost in her thoughts just now.
“Of course I did.” He looked at her car disdainfully and rolled his eyes. “Do you know how much my car cost? This is the latest model from BMW – a gift from my grandfather! Do you have the money to pay me back?”
His rude demeanor made it difficult to have a level-headed discussion with him.
