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

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.

A frown graced Josie’s forehead. “But hasn’t the real estate market in Wavery already reached its saturation point? Didn’t they decide to step back from that?”

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.

Dexter’s fingers played with her cascading hair. “What’s troubling you?”

“I’m scared, Dexter.” Josie met his gaze with vulnerability. “I saw someone die under the rubble for the first time. It was horrifying. I don’t want to witness anything like that ever again.”
