Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter)
Chapter 1171 Lingering Feelings

Arnold's face was dark and gloomy. "Mr. Dalton is outside."

The women's restroom was situated right next to the men's restroom.

A jolt went through Josie's heart.

From outside came the steady sound of footsteps. Josie wanted to take a look, but Arnold pulled her back. "What are you looking at?"

"I want to see if he also wears a mask outside."

Arnold chuckled. "You're a curious person, aren't you?"

"I have a question for you. Does he always wear a mask when he sees you?" she asked out of genuine curiosity.

Arnold didn't want to answer, but under her intense gaze, he had no choice but to nod. "Yeah."

"Does he use a voice changer as well?"

"Yeah."

"Then when was the last time you saw him?"

This question caused Arnold to pause slightly. "Thanks to you, it was a few days ago."

Josie didn't understand. "What do you mean?"

She seemed so heartless that it irked Arnold. If it weren't for her, Rachel's country club wouldn't have closed down. The night he met with Wayne, he was livid. "Arnold, you've fallen for this woman again." Arnold crossed his arms, unwilling to admit it. "My subordinates were ignorant. It wasn't my command. They have already been punished."

Wayne sat in a high position, letting out a cold laugh. "You know, the land at the Rivodia-Wavery border was taken away by Dexter! Just two hours ago!"

Immediately, Arnold looked up. "How could this be? The leaders of Rivodia clearly promised me..." At this point, anything said would merely be an excuse. Arnold spoke halfway and then closed his mouth. "I take full responsibility for this matter."

"Do you know why Dexter suddenly became so decisive? He's asserting his dominance, warning you not to mess with that woman! Why did you still take the risk? You've ruined my big plans. You better think of a way to make amends."

The grating mechanical noise was painfully piercing to the ears. Arnold, however, remained defiant. "I've been contending with him for years," he said. "I won't let him succeed so easily."

"Stay away from her. I won't repeat myself." Wayne slammed down a cup. "Or else, get rid of her. Don't interfere with my business!"

Arnold turned his head. Josie still wore that stubborn and dissatisfied expression. He averted his gaze, feeling a headache coming. "Answer me," she urged.

"What did you say?"

"What do you mean by thanks to me, Arnold? Did Mr. Dalton tell you to stay away from me?"

Her guess was quite accurate. "I want to stay away from you more than anyone else."

"But you can't do it." Josie raised an eyebrow slyly. "Tell me honestly, do you still have lingering feelings for me?"

As the footsteps of Wayne outside grew fainter and fainter, Arnold stepped out and said, "To be honest, you are the most delusional woman I have ever met in my life."

Josie followed behind him, matching his pace. Her phone lit up again, the screen displaying Laura's name. She had sent a message that read: I'm coming to see you now. Do you welcome me? Josie halted in her steps and replied: I'm not at home.

Laura: Where are you, then?

Josie: I'm outside. Anyway, Grape is at home crying. She likes beautiful young ladies. You should go see her. It would probably cheer her up.

Laura: Haha, then I'll wait for you at home.

Arnold turned around and saw her standing still. He was somewhat exasperated. "Can't you walk again?"

Josie deliberately walked slowly. "What's the rush? You have no patience for the disabled."

Before, it was Arnold who brought her here, so naturally, she would return in his car. By now, Josie was no longer afraid of him. On the contrary, she wanted to extract more useful information from him. "Where's your driver? Why are you driving yourself?"
