Chapter 919 The Fifteenth Caught off guard by the question, Angel paused for a moment, then shook her head. âNo.â
With a smile, Josie said, âItâs no good for you to miss someone else while already having a boyfriend.â
Angelâs face instantly turned half-red. âThatâs not what I meant. I was just⦠curious.â
Ryan indeed appeared to be a calm and composed man, quite different from Jadeâs style. Considering their similar ages, it was understandable why Angel would be attracted to him.
âRegardless of the circumstances, we must handle relationships carefully so as not to hurt othersâ
feelings.â After Josie finished signing, she put the pen away and smiled.
Angel revealed an embarrassed expression, struggling before she finally said, âWill you believe me if I said I didnât initiate it?â
Josie furrowed her brows.
âRyan was the one who started it.â
Josie immediately stood up, ready to open the door and confront the person outside. However, Angel grabbed Josieâs hand and shook her head, âDonât put me in a difficult position.â
It took Josie a while to calm down. âWhy didnât you refuse?â
âHe threatened me, but⦠I actually found myself enjoying it,â Angie confessed, her voice laden with guilt.
Josie understood.
She chuckled self-deprecatingly. âIsnât that just human nature?â
Angel asked, âWhat about you? Have you ever wavered?â
That question stumped Josie, leaving her somewhat dazed. âHave you ever heard a song?â
âHmm?â
âIt went something like âGrant her the complete experience that you canât give meâ.â
Josie hesitated before, but one man never left her heart.
Somberly, she muttered, âPromise me youâll return and make it clear to Jade that youâre determined to break up.â
Angel agreed.
After Angel left, Josie couldnât help but call Morgan. The call was quickly answered on the other end.
With a hoarse voice, he asked, âWhatâs up?â
That time, it was Josie who was puzzled. âWere you sleeping?â
Morgan didnât respond directly. He merely rustled softly for a moment. âWhat do you want to tell me?â
âManage your own staff. Donât mess with my people.â With that, Josie hung up the phone, leaving Morgan completely baffled on the other end.
As night fell, Josie sat by the window, staring blankly at the black computer.
After a long while, she finally turned on her computer and put her headphones back on.
Her palms were stained with sweat, fearing she might hear inappropriate sounds between a man and a woman. However, what she heard was Markâs voice.
âDexter, always leave room for retreat when you do things. Wavery canât always be dominated by you alone.â Those words were spoken by Mark in a serious tone, indicating anger.
Upon hearing that, Dexter replied casually, âBoth are your sons-in-law. How can you show favoritism?
Are you trying to back Arnold?â
Mark said, âYour grandfather has passed away, and Iâm teaching you how to handle matters. In the future, Russell Group and even the entire Olsen family will be entrusted to you. How can I be at ease if youâre so extreme?â
Dexter seemed to take a sip of coffee. âMr. Olsen, Iâm delighted to hear you say that. However, I suspect some people may take issue with your words.â
Mark was filled with anger toward Dexter, yet there was nothing he could do.
âThe wedding is set on the fifteenth. Itâs a big day, so you should take good care of your health, Mr.
Olsen,â Dexter said before getting up and leaving.
What Josie heard next was the sound of footsteps.
She remained silent in the darkness. It seems that the marriage was truly settled.
Meanwhile, Heather had been waiting for a long time, so when she spotted Dexter, she clung to his arm. âWhat did father say to you?â
