Chapter 103 She's Gorgeous, but Are You?
The streetlight shone into the car, illuminating the sinister look of the man – it was Arnold.
Propping his elbow on the car window, he examined the woman behind Dexter and teased, “What a
coincidence to meet you again, Miss.”
Josie was caught off guard being recognized by Arnold and felt her scalp tingling as he stared at her.
“We meet again, Mr. Carter.”
Placing his hands at the back, Dexter looked down upon Arnold and uttered, “I should be honored that
you came to Mandarin Oriental the moment you returned to Wavery.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtArnold chuckled with a hint of anger. “The news of you getting all worked up for a woman has spread in
the circle. Of course, I have to come and support your business.
Josie carefully observed the two men’s expressions. She thought Dexter had handled the matter but
didn’t expect it to have spread. At the same time, she was worried about becoming the target of public
attention.
Dexter’s expression was indiscernible, but he seemed unaffected by Arnold’s remark. “I didn’t expect you
to believe the rumors.”
“I didn’t believe it, but seeing this lady standing behind you just happened to catch my eye.” Arnold
smiled and asked Josie, “Are you here today to report to Dexter also?”
Josie gazed at him. I’m here with Mr. Russell to attend to some work matters.”
Arnold appeared to be a playboy, seemingly unpretentious, but people like him were more dangerous
because one couldn’t tell their evil intentions.
“Miss Warren, have you read War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy?”
Josie didn’t understand why Arnold asked the sudden question. “I’ve not read it, but I have a rough idea
of the plot.”
“But are you familiar with the romance between Prince Andrei and Natasha?”
Josie stole a glance at Dexter’s expression while contemplating how to answer Arnold. “Only the gist of
it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Despite his father’s objection and his poor health, Prince Andrei still proposed to Natasha, only to be
betrayed later on. In my opinion, it shows how deeply in love he is. You’re lucky to be Natasha, Miss
Warren.” Arnold commented with a mysterious smile.
After saying that, Arnold leaned against his seat and raised his car window. Then, he sped away, leaving
a wisp of smoke from the car exhaust.
Josie asked Dexter anxiously, “Did I say something wrong?”
She could only see his jaws but couldn’t see his expression clearly due to the backlight. Nonetheless,
she perceived a tinge of contempt.
“Ignore him. He’s been stress recently working on a project and came here to vent his anger.” Dexter
walked toward the car park.
Josie didn’t understand Dexter. She felt something was off and quickly caught up with him. “Do many
know that it was you who saved me in Heaven on Earth?”
