Chapter 137 Solved It for Her He put both hands into his pocket. âThereâs no harm. Iâm going to take a look.â
It was a minor meeting, but the woman had been a nervous wreck yesterday. Dexter couldnât help but smile when he thought of Josieâs tone.
On the twenty-seventh floor, a group of people were gathered at the entrance of the meeting. room. He stopped. âHas the meeting started?â
Claire looked at Ivy, who was behind Dexter. Claire was sweating profusely. âMr. Russell? Why are you here?â
âIâm asking you a question.â
No one thought Dexter would attend the meeting, so they left one by one.
Jo⦠Josie isnât here yet.â Claire didnât dare to raise her head.
Ivy stood upright and asked in surprise. âWhat did you say? Itâs ten oâclock. Where is she?â
At this time, Alice came out of the meeting room. Her legs immediately felt weak when she saw Dexter.
Oh no. Josie is done for this time.
Claire immediately pulled her. âSince youâre the closest to Josie, tell us. Where is she?â
Alice had no way out. âShe⦠Twenty minutes ago, she told me she was on the way and asked me to stall.â
âWhat nonsense! Is she playing around with such an important meeting?â Ivy rebuked furiously.
Dexterâs face darkened, and he told Alice, âCall her.â
âI⦠I tried⦠Sheâs not picking up.â
Dexterâs expression changed completely, and his mystifying eyes became dark and fierce. He walked out and used his personal cell phone to make a call.
âWhere is she?â
The other party was surprised. âWhat? Hasnât Mrs. Russell arrived at the office?â
âWhat do you mean?â Dexterâs voice slowly deepened.
He hung up shortly, and there was a coldness around him. He walked past everyone and opened the meeting roomâs doors. His awful expression instantly became serene.
âWe meet again, Riley.â Dexter extended his hand.
âWhy are you here, Mr. Russell?â Riley Spence, who was in charge of the Sylmark project, stood up, surprised upon seeing Dexter.
Other leaders around Riley also stood up. Most of them felt impatient from waiting but never expected Dexter to appear.
âHow is our coffee? Weâre sorry for making you wait.â
Riley shook Dexterâs hand and sighed with a laugh. âYour employee must be important since we must wait for her, Mr. Russell.â
Dexter admitted it with a faint smile. âThe employee suddenly met with a mishap, so she canât attend todayâs meeting. I apologize on her behalf. I will buy everyone a meal next time to make amends. I hope you can understand.â
Everyone cried out in surprise. âA mishap? Whatâ¦â
Regardless if the reason was valid, Dexter had personally appeared to solve the matter. They had no reason to get angry, for Dexterâs sake.
âI will send someone to deliver the design tomorrow. We will make it an online meeting.â Dexter said politely. He continued patiently, âI hope that this episode today wonât affect our partnership in the future.â
No one dared to say a word after what Dexter said. It was advantageous for them to owe Dexter a favor.
âItâs alright. Our health comes first. I hope that your employee can get well soon, Mr. Russell.â
After leaving the twenty-seventh floor, Dexter rushed to the parking lot while Ivy ran to catch up with him.
His cell phone rang. âMr. Russell, we found Mrs. Russell. She was involved in an accident on the road in front of Russell Group. Her injuries arenât fatal, and sheâs currently being treated at City Hospital. It was a Mercedes Benz who ran into her. The identity of the car owner is currently being investigated.â
âContinue investigating and detain that person!â Dexterâs voice echoed in the parking lot, sounding intense and murderous.
Ivy couldnât help but cower. She didnât dare to say anything the whole way.
Dexter didnât intend to hide Josieâs identity in front of her any longer.
