Chapter 207 A Chance Encounter

Work at the Sylmark construction site had started not long ago and was supervised strictly. How can something

happen out of a sudden?

Josie immediately furrowed her brows. “Is it critical?”

“The hospital is trying to save the victim. I don’t know the severity yet. I have to go to the hospital to check.” On the

other end, Dexter seemed to have lowered his car window. The sound of wind blowing into the car was slightly loud.

“You don’t have to worry. You just have to return to Mason Garden safely

He was worried about her because the roads were slippery since it was snowing.

Josie could only answer, “Alright.”

The driver arrived quickly. After she got into the car, he asked, “Are we returning to Mason Garden, Mrs. Russell?”

She was looking at her cell phone, and Kevan had sent the location of their restaurant. She thought of his warm

invitation from just now and wanted to go for his sake. She pondered and said, “Not yet.”

Since it was snowing, it was nice to eat warm pasta. The team sat around the table with wine and hot plates of

pasta.

“Congratulations on passing probation, Kevan. Continue working hard,” Josie said with a smile as she raised a glass

to him.

Kevan clinked his glass against hers and thanked her gratefully.

After three rounds of wine, everyone relaxed gradually and started gossiping about other departments.

“I believe the year’s biggest news belongs to none other than Claire. Russell Group forbids office romance. How did

she dare to date Mr. Yves? How reckless of her.”

As the person said it, they nudged Josie with their elbow. “As a matter of fact, you’re pretty lucky, Ms. Warren. You

wouldn’t be the head if Claire didn’t go on the wrong path.”

“Yeah, right. Two department heads left consecutively. It seems like this position was destined for Ms. Warren.

This sounded malicious, and it was clearly taunting Josie. Alice couldn’t take it and wanted to answer, but Josie held

her back. “I’m lucky, but you need to learn to grab opportunities that come. Isn’t that right?”

They looked at each other and said nothing more. However, they resented each other.

Josie understood that people would be dissatisfied with her since she was in a high position. She wasn’t interested in

proving either of them right or wrong. Colleagues were just colleagues at the end of the day. They wouldn’t become

friends who understood each other.

Kevan saw the tense atmosphere and said, “So Russell Group forbids office romance…….

Someone couldn’t help but laugh, and the attention was on Kevan. They started talking about it.

Josie was distracted. She looked down at her cell phone and wanted to text Dexter asking him how things were. But

she thought he might not be in the mood to reply, so she didn’t message him.

Alice saw it. “What’s up with you today? Is something wrong?”

“It’s nothing. I don’t quite like gathering like this.” Josie looked for an excuse. At this time, the waiter served them

tiramisu.

“I’m sorry to disturb you. Since this is the first snow day in Wavery, here’s a complimentary slice of tiramisu for

everyone. We hope that it will bring you luck.”

Wavery was in the south, and eating tiramisu on special occasions was customary. Everyone liked its significance, so

they quickly scarfed down the cake.

Josie looked out the window. It was snowing. An apartment was opposite the restaurant, and few people left their

homes at such a time. But at this time, someone opened the doors. A woman dressed thinly walked out, and an

unusual man followed her. He looked familiar.

Arnold Carter?!

Why is he here?

Josie was lost in thought. She stared at them attentively. Perhaps it was because of how entranced Josie was looking

at them. Arnold happened to look up, and his gaze met hers.

“What are you looking at with such focus?” Alice also looked over, baffled.

Josie snapped out of it. “Oh, it’s nothing. I saw someone familiar.”
