Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter)
Chapter 179

Chapter 179 Scalded

Josie quickly grabbed Alice's arm, intervening and agreeing resignedly, "It's alright, the treat is on me. No big deal."

She didn't want to make a fuss about it since it would reflect poorly on Alice and her if they insisted on refusing.

Alice understood Josie's concern and refrained from arguing. She cheekily whispered a snarky comment about Jesse in Josie's car. Alice had prompted a chuckle from Josie, apparently amused by Alice's remark.

"I'll go with you."

"It's fine. I can handle it."

The commercial area had plenty of coffee shops. Josie bundled up in layers of coats, shielding herself from the severe chilly wind gusts.

At the coffee shop, she ordered an array of coffee flavors.

Cup after cup of beverages was handed to Josie by the barista, who was surprised when Josie singled out a specific cup, marked it differently from the others and left it with the lid open to cool. Before returning to the filming site, she was given a large foam box to ease the inconvenient transporting task by herself.

But even with a large foam box at her disposal, it was still quite a challenge to handle over twenty cups by herself....

Being petite and slender, the sight of her hugging a huge box filled with cups of beverages was comical. She resembled a silly baby penguin as she waddled through the gusts of wind.

With her injury only partially healed, the task became even more difficult. As a result, she caught the attention of many onlookers passing by.

Upon reaching the filming site, Josie took a pit stop to catch her breath. Feeling embarrassed, she rubbed her nose, thinking she must have looked quite foolish in that situation.

Meanwhile, not far off, a Lincoln Limousine could be seen parked by the roadside. Arnold, clad in a casual outfit, stepped out of the car. However, he was startled as he spotted Josie in the distance. Following his gaze, Ivy was surprised and turned to Dexter in the back seat, saying, "Mr. Russell, isn't that...?"

In the dressing room. Jesse was removing her makeup.

With her work badge hanging around her neck. Alice was casually killing time on her phone and intermittently glancing at the clock, wondering why Josie was taking so long. Jesse sat quietly as the makeup artist applied makeup to her, stealing glances at Alice through

the mirror.

Suddenly, Jesse's manager, Ms. Hattie, barged into the room. Slyly glancing at the woman playing on her phone, she patted Jesse's shoulder and whispered in her ear, Jesse appeared stunned at Ms. Hattie's information, "Are you sure?"

Ms. Hattie bobbed her head affirmatively.

A covert glint flickered in Jesse's eyes as she shoved the makeup artist aside. Then, she grabbed her lipstick and eyebrow pencil and swiftly touched up her makeup. Amidst the chaotic scene, she asked Ms. Hattie, "How do I look?"

Ms. Hattie wiped off her smudged eyeliner with her finger, "You look great. Just relax and be confident."

With that assurance, Jesse straightened up, lifted her skirt, and rushed out in a hurry.

She even forgot to grab her coat.

Amid the commotion, Ms. Hattie caught wind of Dexter's arrival at the filming site and hurriedly relayed the news to Jesse.

Startled by the gust of wind created by Jesse's hurried dash, Alice paused her phone activity, astonished to see Jesse sprint off impulsively. She swiftly stashed her phone away and trailed after Jesse. Jesse was in a state of frenzy, her heart thumping with impatience. She couldn't wait to see Dexter. The crimson hue on her face revealed her deep infatuation for the man who had captured her heart. Caught up in her romantic fantasies and infatuation, Jesse was oblivious to her surroundings. Turning a corner, she unintentionally crashed into someone, resulting in a stumble. It was only then that she realized she was drenched in hot liquid!

"Ah!"

A shocked scream escaped her in sheer disbelief!

The commotion caught everyone's attention.

The tantalizing scent of coffee filled the air, and as they turned to see what was happening, they were stunned at Jesse's sorry state.

Her clothes were soaked in brown liquid, and her delicate skin had turned a fiery red from the scalding.

Tears streamed down Jesse's face without a sign of stopping, a testament to the intense pain she was experiencing.
