The Epic Blind Date with My Boss (Josie and Dexter)

Chapter 12 A Warning for Tongues Wagging

Josie went to her department and found Patrick conducting a meeting, which was unprecedented. He yelled her name angrily as she wasn’t there yet. She could hear him even though there were two walls between them.

“This department’s staff is getting lazier, especially Josie. It’s already time, but she’s not here!”

Josie shrugged and went to her desk. She was late anyway. If she joined the meeting now, Patrick would just chew her out in front of everyone. It would be an irredeemable situation.

She sat at her table and switched on her computer, planning on continuing her unfinished interior design plans.

“Josie, you’re late to today’s meeting. You’re doomed!”

A colleague patted Josie’s shoulder. She averted her eyes from the computer screen and only realized that the meeting had ended.

She smiled and explained, “I woke up late today. What was the agenda for today’s meeting? It can’t be about the packaging design again, right?”

Three days ago, Patrick gave his subordinates the task of designing the packaging for a collaborating food company. He had been on the case in meetings as there was no satisfactory design even until this day.

“You got it right. He gave a few of us a chewing out over the packaging. Of course, including you, who was late for the meeting. You better watch out.”

The colleague gave Josie a look before returning to their work.
