Chapter 293 Answering the Reporters’ Questions
Josie backed away and avoided his gaze. She rolled onto the bed at the side, and Dexter didn’t stop her. He subconsciously protected her injured leg.
Josie mumbled softly, with her back facing him. “I want to sleep for a while.”
Dexter left the room and gave her space.
He sat on a leather couch and smoked. The nicotine entered his lungs, and it calmed him. It also invoked slightly sore feelings.
He had never felt such emotions for many years.
He had risen through the ranks over the past few years. He was devious, ruthless, and he fought with many people. Even with the praise of thousands and an enormous fortune, he wasn’t the least bit happy.
His heart had always been empty, and he had nowhere to go.
But it seemed like he did now.
Josie’s leg was injured, and she couldn’t leave the house. Dexter drove and brought her to the villa they had previously stayed in.
The peach blossoms planted after New Year’s showed signs of growth. It was thanks to the gardener Dexter had employed. Young, fine, green leaves sprouted from the branches, looking full of life.
Josie crouched down and sized them up with the light. He caught her smile.
While Dexter served her food in the living room, Josie watched a video of her interview. It was after the live stream had ended, and she was in a simple white sweater, looking very energetic.
She was very photogenic. She was also thankful that she didn’t show any fear.
The reporter finally asked about the recent news about Russell Group’s construction site. She was momentarily silent in front of the camera before she started speaking skillfully.
“I previously read “The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind’ by Gustave Le Bon. In it, he says that the public has never longed for the truth. They turn a blind eye to evidence they don’t like. If they’re tempted. by falsehoods, they would be willing to worship fallacies. The person who provides them with an illusion. will become their master. Still, they will sacrifice whoever destroys their hallucination.”
This was a smack in the face for everyone who had listened to gossip and public opinion.
Dexter passed her a spoon and smiled. “Walter has also said that the same news sounds utterly different to certain people. Everyone understands things differently because they have different experiences. Everyone will process and feel things in their own way.”
It differed slightly from what she had said, but it had a similar meaning. They were perfectly in sync.
Thankfully, she understood. “The study of public opinion?”
They didn’t back down since they were fair and didn’t fear rumors. This was why Dexter was in favor of Josie revealing her identity.
The video was still playing. The reporter casually discussed Russell Group’s operations before changing the topic to recent news. “Ms. Warren, may I ask what you think about the various rumors surrounding Mr. Russell?
Josie’s lips immediately felt warm, and she unconsciously glanced at the man across from her. His eyes dazzled.
She reached out to turn it off, but she was too late. In the video, she spoke confidently. “I believe in Mr. Russell’s choice. He is a wise man with great foresight.”
She had clearly expressed that she was utterly on Dexter’s side.
Many comments commended her. ‘Everything else aside, I think Josie Warren is so confident. I love her!
In front of the computer, Dexter was looking at Josie with a faint smile when she looked up again.
