Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter)
Chapter 1241 A More Reliable Person

The woman in the photograph perfectly matched the attractive lady standing before them.

No one had expected that Josie would actually be there and even overheard everything.

The woman named Shirley gripped her phone tightly, immediately picked up her bag to leave, and said, "I'm sorry."

Without uttering a word, Josie shifted her body, blocking the path. "Don't rush off. Ms. Ross, could you please tell me what ulterior motives do you believe I have?" Shirley's face was extremely distressed. She was then being publicly blocked, and as the number of onlookers increased, she raised a finger. "Move aside."

Josie simply gazed at her, not stepping aside.

She didn't intend to draw attention to herself, but she also couldn't ignore the chatter of others.

Seeing the situation, Shirley became even more anxious. "Josie, the Ross family and the Olsen family have a partnership. You wouldn't want to make things too ugly, would you?"

It seemed that news traveled fast, as everyone in their social circle knew she had moved into the Olsen residence.

Moreover, she was very intelligent, knowing how to weigh the pros and cons.

However, Josie didn't have such a good temper. She could overlook being talked about behind her back, but not when it was done openly.

She gave a small laugh and retorted, "And what of it?"

"You!"

Josie leisurely moved behind her. "If you're not planning to explain, I'll have to call my lawyer. After all, it's not something pleasant to hear."

Incredulously, Shirley asked, "You're hiring a lawyer over such a trivial matter? I'm beginning to believe those rumors about you. With your petty and narrow-minded attitude, how are you fit to be a part of the Olsen family, let alone play the role of the so-called the young lady of the family?"

These words seemed familiar as if she had heard them somewhere before. Josie asked directly, "Did Ava say that?"

The women exchanged glances, surprised that Josie actually knew.

After returning to Wavery, the only person Josie had managed to offend was Ava. She could practically predict how Ava would spin and spread rumors.

Coincidentally, she managed to hear the rumor Ava was spreading.

"Ms. Ross, after all, Ava is Zach's ex-girlfriend. And you are? It seems we haven't met before." Surveying the room, Josie exuded an overwhelming presence, silencing everyone for a moment. "Next time, show some respect when speaking about people you've never met."

"Josie!" Shirley couldn't hold back, her hand immediately raised.

Josie was surprisingly strong when she caught Shirley's hand. Shirley, wincing in pain, gritted his teeth. "Let go!"

"Before you think of taking action next time, consider whether you can bear the consequences." Josie immediately wore a cold expression, no longer engaging in their dispute. She shrugged off her hand and returned straight to her own seat.

Shirley stood frozen in place, frantically trying to calm her racing heart. She glared at Josie's retreating figure, feeling herself on the verge of a breakdown. If it weren't for the fact that they were in a public place she would have definitely continued the confrontation.

"That's enough..." everyone gently advised, all with a sense of apprehension.

Not long after Josie had taken her seat, a waiter approached her. "Miss, you may proceed now."

She understood, picked up the documents from the table, and left the restaurant.

The sound of her high heels echoed as they hit the ground, her figure graceful and poised, exuding an air of neither arrogance nor servility.

Narrowing her eyes, Ross dialed a number on her phone.

The superior wasn't Morgan, but a seasoned woman in her thirties. She was still bleary-eyed from sleep as she leaned against the door, surveying Josie. As she took the documents from Josie, she let out a soft chuckle. "I thought Laura's delay meant I wouldn't get the Olsen family's contract. Seems like there's a more reliable person on the job."

The words were dripping with sarcasm, and Josie understood them perfectly.

After a moment of thought, she began to explain, "Laura was unexpectedly held up due to some urgent matters. She repeatedly stressed that I must personally deliver the contract to you." The other party looked up. "Who are you?"
