Chapter 13: Chapter 13

Everyone was shocked to see that.

It was rare to see Josie, usually soft-spoken, lose her temper.

“You– Josie, just you wait. I will make you pay.”

With that, the female colleague left, and the crowd dispersed.

Alice grabbed Josie’s arms worriedly.

“Samantha Robson seems to have connections. Will we be in trouble?”

Josie didn’t overthink it. She would usually steer clear of trouble unless it were necessary to intervene.

This time around, Samantha had stepped over the line.

“It’s she who offended us first. It’s okay. Let’s get back to work.”

After calming Alice down, Josie went back to work. After that incident, everyone else stopped talking about Josie behind her back.

Finally, Josie found peace of mind.

When Josie finished her work, she stretched and looked at the time. It was almost time to get off work.

“I’m going back now, Josie,” Alice said.

Josie waved to Alice. “See you tomorrow.”

After Alice left, she shut down her laptop and went to the ground floor. As soon as she exited the company building, she was surrounded by a group of men.

The group leader was a tanned man with a scar on his face.

“Are you Josie Warren?”

Josie took a deep breath to calm herself down.

“Who are you? What are you doing here?”

He snorted. “You bullied my girl, didn’t you?”

With that, he took a step forward. Josie’s expression hardened, but there was no fear. “Who’s your girl?”

“Stop playing dumb with me. You know very well what you did. I’m just here to give you a warning today. For your information, my fists aren’t for nothing. If you dare to touch my girl again, that is.”

With that, he clenched his fists and flexed his biceps.

At the same time, Dexter came out of his office and overheard a conversation between a few colleagues. When he heard Josie’s name, he paid attention to them.

“I can’t believe that b*tch dared to slap me. Even my parents have never hit me. How dare she! I will make her pay.”

“Calm down, Sam. Didn’t you ask your brother to block her?”

“Hmph! I told him not to go easy on her. He will teach her a lesson that she will never forget.” A ruthless look flitted across her eyes.

The other female colleague jumped when she noticed Dexter.

“Hi, Mr. Russell.”

Dexter walked past them impassively. When he left, Samantha heaved a sigh.

“He didn’t hear us, did he?”

“Don’t worry. It doesn’t matter, even if he did. Josie is a nobody. Do you think Mr. Russell would even notice her?”

Samantha heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing that.

However, Dexter frowned when he entered the elevator. As the number decreased, he felt uneasy.

Where is this feeling coming from? He thought, still frowning.

Before he could figure it out, he had arrived at the ground floor. As soon as he walked out of the company building, he saw a few burly men blocking Josie.

He immediately made a call as he walked toward them.

“I’m going to teach you a good lesson,” the man with a scar on his face threatened.

Just then, another voice rang behind him.
