Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1280

Dexter had an engagement at noon, at a shooting range. When Juliette arrived, he had just finished his round.

Josie followed closely behind Juliette. Lifting her gaze, she saw that he had hit the bullseye.

She knew that Dexter was also a master archer. However, that day's social engagement required him to showcase these skills, sending a clear message that he was not someone to be trifled with.

“Dexter!”

Juliette was observant. After a few rounds of drinks, she waited until the conversation at the table had mostly subsided before she approached.

Dressed in a business suit, Dexter presented an impressive figure. He squinted his eyes, looking back over his shoulder.

Juliette greeted everyone with a smile before apologizing, “I'm sorry for the interruption at such a joyous time. I wouldn't have bothered if I wasn't genuinely concerned about Dexter's health. Please forgive me. I'll punish myself with three drinks.”

Her words flowed effortlessly, leaving no room for criticism.

The business owners present scrutinized Dexter's expression, and upon confirming that he indeed knew Juliette, they quickly gestured for the waiter to add more seats.

Feeling the intense gaze on her, Josie wished she could dig a hole and disappear.

Juliette had also noticed Dexter's gaze lingering on Josie. She then gulped before introducing Josie's identity.

“Dexter, your reputation precedes you. Alice has always spoken highly of you. I hope you'll look out for us in the future.”

The words spoken on the scene made Josie grit her teeth in frustration. She looked up to meet Dexter's leisurely gaze. Teasingly, he asked, “Has she spoken highly of me?”

He was on the verge of bursting into laughter.

Josie, fearful of being exposed, ultimately held back. She reached out her hand and said, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Russell. It's an honor.”

On the surface, it was imperceptible. Only Josie could feel it. When he pulled back his hand, he gave hers a firm squeeze. Jerk! Pervert! Creep!
