On a secluded road, under the faint glow of the streetlights, a car stood still, exuding an aura of authority. Moses turned his head, "He's waiting for you."

The man sat in the back seat, a green stubble peeking out from his jaw. His shirt was slightly unbuttoned, and his mood remained inscrutable. He toyed with a string of rosary beads in his hand, his movements slow. Yet, Josie felt a murderous intent emanating from him.

With a grit of her teeth, Josie opened the car door and slid in, draping herself over his shoulder. Her tone was teasing as she said, "You follow me wherever I go. Are you secretly in love with me?" Dexter exerted some force to push her aside, "You're quite brave, venturing alone into the lion's den."

Josie collapsed to one side, feeling that his tone was even more unpredictable.

At this moment, he wasn't as easygoing as he had been a few days ago.

"How did you know I was here? I've checked; no one was following me."

Dexter glanced at her, his face backlit, making it hard to discern his expression. "Stop meddling and just focus on your studio. Even if you're with Morgan, it's enough to ensure a wealthy and peaceful life for your latter years. Why are you stirring up all this trouble?"

Josie wasn't sure how much he knew, so she could only guess.
