Chapter 206 An Accident at the Construction Site
Therefore, Dexter didn’t push it.
After a while, the Landon case was settled, and Landon merged with Russell Group.
It was the first snow of Wavery. The ground was covered in white, and the calm sea was far away.
Small clouds of fog appeared when people breathed.
During her lunch break, Josie left the greenhouse after she finished her book. She looked out of the French windows and saw the scenery from over seventy floors up. The snow kept falling, and everything before her was a dazzling white. Snowflakes fell on everyone unrelentingly.
She stepped out of the greenhouse and took the initiative to walk to Dexter’s office. It was empty. She guessed that he was probably at a meeting.
She waited for a while, but he didn’t appear.
Therefore, she looked around his office from top to bottom for the first time.
Documents were stacked neatly on his desk, and a thermos cup sat beside his notebook. It was the typical desk of a CEO.
The essential information should have been on his computer, but he had many. Josie didn’t know the passwords to them.
A dazzling lineup of books was on a bookshelf behind his desk. If this were anyone else, Josie would have thought they were pretentious. Still, she understood the man whom the office belonged to. He must have read all the books. She took one book at random and saw notes in his own handwriting.
A few cactus pots were on his desk, along with some plants she didn’t know. There were no flowers.
Josie put her hands behind her back and pondered momentarily. She turned and walked to the greenhouse, taking two pots of jasmine flowers with her. She replaced some cactus pots on his table with flowers. The jasmines were fragrant. If he were tired from working and looked up, he would relax slightly after seeing the beautiful flowers.
Dexter still hadn’t returned..
She decided to leave.
She went down as usual. Unfortunately, she bumped into Kevan today.
She didn’t know where he had come from. He tapped her shoulder and asked, “Where did you go, Ms. Warren?”
Josie was caught off guard. She was momentarily astonished before answering, “The rooftop…..”
Kevan was surprised. “Rooftop? Then I must have been mistaken. I thought you came out of Mr. Russell’s personal elevator. I was taken aback.”
Josie said nothing. She started perspiring in the heated room, feeling slightly fearful.
Kevan was quick-witted. “But why were you on the rooftop?”
Josie walked to her office and waved her cell phone. Her expression didn’t change as she lied. “To take photos of the snow.”
Kevan suddenly became interested. “I took many photos today too!”
“It’s snowing at home too, but the office looks better. Do you want to see my pictures?”
He’s pretty talkative, Josie didn’t reply, and Kevan quickly changed the topic. “Since it’s snowing. I will buy everyone a meal at the pasta restaurant. Do you want to come, Ms. Warren?”
He asked tentatively.
“You started working not long ago, Kev. Do you have the money?”
“… Since I’m new, it’s a good chance to meet with everyone.”
“I’ll have to see.”
When it was time to get off work, a group of people energetically followed Kevan to the elevators. Josie deliberately slowed down and only walked out once they left.
She had been coming and going with Dexter for the past few days. She had to inform him.
She was surprised to find Dexter’s car gone in the parking lot. She walked around but couldn’t find it.
At this time, she received a call from Dexter. The man’s voice was deep, as usual. “Have you come down?”
“Yes.”
“I’ll get Mason Garden’s driver to pick you up. He’s on the way. Can you wait for a moment?”
Josie noticed something and was astonished. “Where are you?”
“Something happened at the Sylmark construction site. I’m going to the hospital now.” His tone didn’t change.
