Dexter kept his word. Every day after that, he started going to and leaving work together with Josie.
Their time never matched up, Josie didnât want him to wait for her since she was troubling him.
But she never knew that Dexter was an early bird. She had to wake up two hours earlier daily. He would work in the car while she dozed off at one side.
Just like that, she was forced to be the earliest employce in the design department every day.
âJosic, has... your dadâs condition worsened?â Alice was torn for a long time and finally asked amid the anticipation of Team B colleagues.
Josie was drowsy and wasnât feeling herself. She said, âWhat are you saying? Of course not.â
âYouâre the earliest to arrive and the latest to leave daily. Youâre almost a model worker. Even if it is amazing, you canât do this...
Or are you trying to move Claire with your sincerity so she can give you the beverage companyâs project?â
âCanât just purely adore my job...â Josie almost couldnât keep her eyes open but was still stubborn.
Alice was puzzled. âNo way. Youâre the most antiâcapitalistic person in our department. When have you ever not left work on time? But recently, youâve worked at least two hours of overtime. Mr. Russell will give you an award when he sees you like that.
What on earth is going on?â
Josie couldnât even force a smile. She almost couldnât hold on anymore.
She was working overtime for two hours because she was waiting for everyone in the office to leave before she went up to the top floor to look for Dexter. After all, he hadnât gotten off work. She would go to his break room to wait and sleep.
He was swamped. He had conference calls and online meetings one after another. He also had to sign contracts, review project progress, check product details, and so on... Most importantly, Dexter didnât seem to feel tired. When he finished his work, he could even knock on the break room door and taunt her. âAre you sleeping comfortably on my couch?â
Josie would usually wake up from her dreams in surprise. âAre... are you off work?â
Dexter would usually reveal a smug expression at this time. âIt looks like the five tubs of ice cream in my refrigerator will expire.â
Josie was dumbfounded.
When she thought about it, her lips couldnât help but curve. She answered Alice, âI dare say that no one in the company works overtime more than Mr. Russell.â
Fortunately, working overtime every day for two hours wasnât wasted. Josie was making progress on one of the projects she had been working on. It was a hundredâyearâold wine factory that was outsourcing. After looking at her plan, they were delighted and hoped she could participate in designing the label.
If this project went through, Josie wasnât thinking of a bonus. It was the five tubs of ice cream in Mason Gardenâs refrigerator! It was finally almost the day to eat them. Haha, I would never let them expire!
âWhat are you giggling about, Josie?â Claire tapped Josieâs desk impatiently with some documents.
Josie came to her senses. She coughed lightly and tilted her head in confusion.
Claire threw the documents in her hands onto Josieâs desk. After that, she leaned close to Josieâs workstation. âDidnât you want the beverage company project? Here you go.â
Josie raised her brows. âWhy? Iâve asked you for this project a few times, but you refused to give it to me. Why are you giving it to me now?â
The beverage company had an incredible corporate vision. If the project succeeded, Claire could make a name in the advertisement design circle.
Josie thought Claire refused to give it to her because Claire wanted the opportunity for herself. Josie had given up and was prepared to throw herself into the wine factory project, but Claire suddenly did this. ·
There must be something fishy going on!
âYouâre amusing. Youâve been asking for it every day, but you donât want it now that IâmTsk.
Josie raised her brows. âIâm not saying I donât want it. There has to be a reason, right?â
âThe edits they want suit your style, so Iâm willing to give you this opportunity,â Claire said arrogantly, seeming selfless and generous.
Josie didnât believe her. Everyone in her department was sly. How could Claire easily let go of something valuable?
âBut Iâm already following up on a new project. Iâm afraid I wonât have time to take over.â
âYou have no right to reject it. Our superiors have discussed this project, and Iâm your manager. You can leave if you donât accept the work I appoint you. The design department doesnât need you.â
Claire was telling her to take it or leave.
Josie ran her tongue across her teeth and said craftily, âI can take over, but say what you want to in front of me. Donât come and manipulate my design after Iâve taken over.â
Claire sneered and walked back to her office without saying anything.
After Claire left, Josie flipped through the documents apprehensively as she thought about how to turn down the wine factoryâs project. She undoubtedly would not have enough energy if she accepted it, so she had to give one up.
A male colleague from Team A suddenly walked over and stopped at Josieâs workstation. He looked like he had something to say.
He had pursued Josie in the past and had always been weak and cowardly. He drifted apart from her after discovering she had gotten married. But now...
âWhatâs up?â Josie asked impatiently, venting her rage on him.
He glanced at Claireâs office and quickly said, âThe company of this project doesnât have the IP copyright. Itâs with the bossâ exâ
girlfriend. Claire has talked to her a few times but to no avail.â
After that, he disappeared into the washroom.
Josie suddenly understood. The cover design was involved with copyright problems. If the bossâ ex-. girlfriend didnât yield, they were done for. It was pretty tricky. No wonder Claire had given it to her.
âHow cunning.â Josie took a sip of water irritably. She explained it to the wine factoryâs boss in a message and turned him down tactfully.
The other party expressed regret but scarcely realized that it also pained her.
Alice rolled over on a chair, feeling aggrieved. âI knew the wolf in sheepâs clothing wouldnât have good intentions! How can the copyright be with the exâgirlfriend? What do you plan to do?â
Josie was also thinking about it. She guessed the couple had set up the beverage company together early on, and the exâ
girlfriend took the copyright with her when they broke up.
Relationship problems and business rivalries were complicated.
âNever mind. Iâll try my best.â
No matter what, Josie was interested in the project not only because it had good prospects but also wanted to prove that she could succeed in a project that Claire couldnât!
At ten at night, Dexter opened the break room door and raised his brows unexpectedly. âThe sun is rising from the east.â
Josie wasnât sleeping today. She was before her laptop brainstorming. Her hair was in the way, so she pulled it into a ponytail, revealing her exquisite features.
At this time, Dexter suddenly realized that she was quite pretty.
He walked to her, and his expression suddenly turned nasty. âYouâre on Twitter?â
Josie raised her head. âCorrection. To use professional jargon, Iâm doing due diligence!â
She dug out the beverage companyâs bossâ sock puppet Twitter account. She discovered it was filled with his dating stories, but it was last updated three years ago. That must have been when they broke up.
âWhy are you looking at this?â
âTo see if I can find the reason for their break up.â
