Like a lion waking up, Dexter opened his eyes as these words were spoken.
Zachariahâs pupils dilated, âDid I guess right?â
The look in Dexterâs eyes turned slightly gloomy. âDonât make wild guesses.â
The two of them had known each other for many years, so their friendship was deeply rooted.
Zachariah could guess what he was thinking with considerable accuracy, which was why he was able to handle every matter so smoothly.
âIâm just saying. Josie and Liana are worlds apart, so be careful not to choose the wrong path.â
Perhaps it was due to his family background, but Zachariah always looked down on Josie. She had no influential family background, and she was seen as being out of her league by marrying Dexter.
Morcover, her actions later on only worsened Zachariahâs impression of her.
She was nowhere near as precious as the one from the Olsen family.
Upon hearing those words, Dexterâs eyes grew colder and more ruthless. âIâve never thought that Iâve chosen the wrong path.â
Zachariah hesitated for a moment, not quite understanding what he meant. Who exactly did he choose?
Dexter stood up and said, âI have drunk chamomile tea many times, but I have tasted nothing special.
Take it out of my office.â
Noticing that he was clearly upset, Zachariah didnât dare stick around any longer. He closed the box of tea leaves and took it away. As he reached the door, he ran into Larry, who greeted him respectfully, âMr. Shaw.â
Zachariah raised an eyebrow at him and asked, âDo you like chamomile tea? Iâll give you some.â
Larry smiled awkwardly and glanced at Dexter as he replied hesitantly, âNo one in Russell Group likes this tea.â
âI actually think itâs okay. Your boss is in a bad mood, so Iâd advise you not to say any further unless itâs something positive,â Zachariah said half-jokingly.
âAre you done?â Dexter raised his voice, clearly exasperated.
Zachariah clicked his tongue and quickly slipped away without saying another word.
Larry stepped forward and reported, âMr. Russell, our ople have lost contact with Sky Palace. All things considered, however, Arnold couldnât possibly hide someone in a place like a club. Itâs too conspicuous Dexter stood before the floor-to-ceillag window, overlooking the traffic and pedestrians below, who seemed as insignificant as ants. The look in his eyes was gloomy and inscrutable.
He said in a deep voice. âThe most dangerous place is often the safest. Have your men keep a close eye on his gang âIâll arrange for surveillance.â
After Larry finished his report and was about to leave, Dexter suddenly called cut to him, âWas there a Larry pondered for a moment before replying, âYes, but thereâs no updates. Iâm not sure if itâs because thereâs no progress in the investigation, or if he has encountered some obstacles.â
âWhatâs his name?â
âScott Buraho.â
Find a way to keep him investigating. Itâs easier to get things done at the club with the involvement of the police.â
Larry took note of everything, glancing at Dexterâs indifferent silhouette. Suddenly, it didnât seem so cold anymore, but rather, it carried a touch of warmth.
âMr. Russell⦠You sure are concerned about Ms. Warrenâs matters. Itâs just a pity that-â
Dexter lowered his gaze and finished the sentence for him, âItâs a pity she doesnât appreciate my efforts.â
On the office desk, there was a pot of sunflowers that were about to bloom, its buds emitting a faint.
fragrance.
This was the flower Josie had once picked from the greenhouse and placed on his desk. She said that she hoped when he was tired from work, seeing this flower would remind him of her, and he wouldnât feei so exhausted.
âDonât leave me, Dexter.â Her words, her laughter, and the vivid look in her eyes still lingered in Dexterâs. heart.
Back then, their relationship was still strong, and they hadnât reached the point of divorce.
Dexter closed his eyes.
She probably never imagined that they would end up in such a situation.
