Chapter 703 Keeping Leanne Close

“Is Russell Group planning to restructure the Design Department?” Josie probed.

Dexter’s arm, which was snug around her waist, slackened slightly. “You’ve managed to piece it together.”

“To be more precise, Russell Group has its eyes on restructuring the entire construction division, which would inevitably involve the Design Department,” Dexter explained.

Dexter’s eyes held a veil of mystery. “Plans can change. The real estate market might have reached saturation, but profits won’t dwindle. Carter Group took a hit, yet they still have seven construction sites. lined up, ready to begin work. Once those projects kick off, profits are guaranteed.”

Russell Group aimed to carve out a slice of that profitable market.
