In reality, Josie couldn't quite recall if Dexter had ever crossed any boundaries. He was well-versed in international law, so even if he had, he would have handled it cleanly, leaving no troubles behind. The staff member asked a few more questions, but Josie had no idea about any of them.

The best protection Dexter had for her was not telling her anything.

News about Dexter's affairs had not yet been made public, so Josie said, "I forgot to pay the taxes for the last project. They just came to inquire about it.”

Queenie's eyes widened. She was filled with a sense of disbelief yet it seemed oddly plausible.
