Chapter 808 Up For A Meal âMs. Jo, Morgan is really impressive. Iâve seen the articles about him. Heâs a standout from the powerful Bastille family.â Angel leaned towards Josie, whispering softly, her eyes never leaving the man on the stage.
Josie was apathetic about the info. âHeâs a posthumous child of the Bastille family. The entire Bastille family will belong to him in the future.â
After all these years, she still remembered those words.
âReally?â Angel was confused, âBut I heard that the Bastille family has a second scion, Shawn. Heâs been quite ruthless in the past six months. Morgan stood out after escaping Shawnâs. relentless pursuit and trap.â
Shawn? Josie wasnât quite sure, for her focus was on Wavery. She had no interest in keeping. up with the news about the Bastille family.
âIt seems that Morganâs attendance at such an event today confirms his position as the head. of the Bastille family is secured.â
Josie felt utterly bored as she listened. The look in Dexterâs eyes earlier lingered in her mind. It was clear and indifferent, yet meaningful.
Once the formalities were over, the significant political and business figures began to delve into work, discussing future collaborations. In every sentence exchanged, hundreds of millions worth of assets were involved.
Josie wasnât interested in that. She only used that as a pretext to come to Rivodia and had not intention of starting anything there.
However, Dexter seemed quite interested. He sat in his seat, yet group after group of people kept coming up to him to chat as if he held a cornucopia instead of the mess that was Russell Group.
âMr. Russell, itâs truly a feat to get a free slot in your schedule.â A hearty voice belonging to a bald man sounded.
âMr. Jablon, itâs only natural that I meet you first upon entering your scene.â Dexter extended his hand, his movements somewhat restrained, possibly due to a shoulder injury.
Mr. Jablon, Eugene, didnât seem to care about the awkward movement. Instead, he turned to the side and said, âThis is the Mr.
Bastille I often mention to you. He is one of the most. prominent figures in Rivodia. Even the higher-ups treat him with respect.â
His words were filled with pride.
O 1/2 Morgan stepped forward with a smile. âMr. Russell and I go way back.â
Dexter nodded with amusement twinkling in his eyes and shifted his position to face Josie. âMr. Bastille is well known for his decisive and swift actions. Iâve always admired him.â
âItâs thanks to Mr. Bastille that Iâm able to secure this position,â Morgan said with a meaningful look. âHow about this? Letâs go out to dinner tonight. The meal will be my treat. Itâs a good setting to have a discussion.â
âThatâs great to hear! I heard Mr. Bastille was famed for being a big eater during his school days. How about that, Mr. Russell?
Letâs follow Mr. Bastilleâs lead tonight, shall we?â
Eugene seemed carefree and had a heart of gold.
On the other hand, Dexter was nonchalantly indifferent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. Thus, they took it as a tacit agreement.
âSince itâs my treat, letâs include everyoneâs staff as well,â Morgan suddenly suggested.
Josie, who was observing from the sidelines, was startled by his suggestions and then found. she was under everyoneâs scrutiny.
She attended the conference under the name of Russell Group. When he mentioned Dexterâs employees, she naturally considered herself as one.
Dexter stared into the distance and replied, âIt depends on the employeeâs wish.â
Morgan also turned his gaze at her. Eugene found it strange but also looked at her curiously.
Josie raised an eyebrow, fully aware of their ill intentions. However, it wasnât a good time to refuse. âItâs my honor,â she answered.
It was decided just like that. After the conference, Morganâs car took the lead, guiding the vehicles behind him to the most famous hot spring clubhouse in Rivodia.
Once they were settled, the server asked the type of pool they each preferred.
When it was Josieâs turn, she was about to respond when a voice interrupted, âMedicine pool. Sheâs not in good health.â
Morgan, standing at the very front, was the one who responded, sounding incredibly natural.
