Blind Date Turned Proposal Novel novel Chapter 2

Josie was dumbfounded. She wasn’t the only one watching a show just now, but Dexter was watching hers too.

After a while, she nodded stiffly and reflected upon herself for eavesdropping on her boss. Suddenly, Dexter’s deep voice emerged. “Josie, what about marrying me?”

Josie was stunned the moment she heard that. She lifted her eyes and stared at the man in front of her in shock. “Mr. Russell, w-what did you say?”

Josie thought she was hearing things.

“I said, marry me.” Dexter repeated himself impatiently. His handsome face looked very serious, and he didn’t seem to be joking.

After a long time, Josie finally regained her senses.

“Mr. Russell, why me?”

By right, even if he is not happy with the woman just now, he could have married many other better women given his identity. Could it be that he has been having a crush on me for a long time while this blind date is just a set-up to encounter me? Indeed, only a top-tier hunter will appear as prey.

Obviously, Josie overestimated herself.

Dexter looked outside the window and explained to her coldly, “My grandfather is very sick. The doctor said he’s left with only half a year to live. His greatest wish now is to see me get married. I bluffed him and told him that I already have a girlfriend and that we’re preparing to get married.”

As Josie listened attentively to the explanation, the same doubt surfaced in her mind. Why did he choose me?

Perceiving Josie’s confusion, Dexter took up the teacup and took a sip. “You’re an employee in Russell Group, which will make it easier for him to buy into it.”

Josie understood immediately.

Dexter proposed a fake relationship and a fake marriage to fulfill his grandfather’s wish.

“We’re getting our marriage registered at the registry office now.”

“Now?” Josie was shocked, but when she met Dexter’s frigid eyes, she nodded. “Okay.”

Thereafter, Dexter sent Josie back to her place which was situated in an old neighborhood on the outskirts of the city. There was no one in the house. Josie took her identity document and left swiftly.

Everything happened in haste.

After walking out of the Home Affairs Bureau, Josie felt it was a dream when she looked at the marriage certificate in her hand. Then, she gazed at the suit-clad, tall man beside her.

She was married to her boss!

Josie stood there for a long time and wondered if she should ask for a token of appreciation from Dexter.
