Chapter 95 Determined Josieâs face reddened in anger and embarrassment. T⦠Of course, I canât compare to your extensive experiences!â
âWho told you I have extensive experience?â
Josie was about to retort but was taken aback at the same time. Itâs hard to believe heâs not a pleasure seeker. But to think of it, Iâve worked in the company for three years but have never heard of scandals about him and other women. At most, there were some baseless rumors about him and Ivy. Since we married, Iâve not seen him be close with other women.
While Josie was lost in her thoughts, Dexter looked down upon her from a close distance.
She lifted her face and was caught off guard by the close proximity. Before she could say anything.
Dexter stroked her face gently.
âHow capable of you. You nearly caused me to lose a business opportunity.â
âIâ¦â Josie trembled as she couldnât stand the increasing temperature from their physical contact. âI did know you were there too.â
In fact, it wasnât his plan to head to Heaven on Earth. Yesterday, he was about to leave his office when he received a call from Ivy informing him that the senior executives of Landon planned to meet up int Heaven on Earth. So, he changed his schedule, not expecting to bump into Josie.
âDo you know how you would end up if I wasnât there?â
Josie shivered under Dexterâs touch. âWill I die?â
âOn this earth, there are means far more brutal than making you die.â Dexter growled threateningly when Josieâs bloody look last night resurfaced in his mind.
Only then did Jose realize how fortunate she was. She stood frozen momentarily, realizing how harrowing last night had been. It was her first time experiencing the closeness of death. At that moment, she understood that nothing was more important than her life.
At that thought, she held Dexterâs warm hand.
âIâm legally your wife now. Youâll protect me no matter what, wonât you?â Josie mumbled with watery eyes. looking pitiful. She was a good actor and knew that the best way to control a man was to gain his sympathy.
Dexter retracted his hand after staring briefly at Josie. âYou may be excused from work before your injuries recover.â
Josie fluttered her eyelashes and asked cheekily, âWill you help me apply for leave?â
âMmâhmm.â
âAnd under which identity?â
âWhat do you think?â Dexter didnât intend to bother with her, so he took his phone and walked out of the room.
Josie slumped onto the ground as darkness crept in. Caressing the gauze on her face, she was determined.
to cling to the powerful Dexter at all costs.
Perhaps, Josie could no longer separate her life from his ever since they were married. His world was complicated â getting rid of a notorious loan shark was a piece of cake for him. Josie would have died a terrible death if it werenât for him.
When Dexter called Phil from the Human Resource Department to apply for leave on behalf of Josie, Phil was surprised. âYouâre Ms. Warrenâs husband?â
Dexter let out a cough and concealed his original voice. âYeah. She just had surgery.â
âWhat surgery is that?â
âAn appendectomy.â
Phil chuckled. âI see. Alright.â
Dexter wondered why Phil was amused by his answer.
Just then. Josie carefully passed a bottle of water to Dexter from behind after opening the like to have some water?â
He didnât receive the bottle but looked at her bare feet. âArenât there slippers at our home?â
cap. âWould Josie was used to walking barefoot at home. She had a complicated feeling when she heard Dexter mention âtheir home, but she smiled frivolously and uttered. âWhy donât you carry me to get a pair of slippers?â
âYou might be able to seduce Alex Lane with that look, but not me.â
