Blind Date Turned Proposal novel Chapter 1038

Josie responded with a chuckle.

Just then, Grape heard the keyword and eagerly jumped into Michael's arms. "Mikey, where is Mr. Lachlan? He promised to take me to Disneyland!"

Michael lifted her onto his lap. "There's a storm back home, so his flight has been delayed. It looks like we'll have to wait until tomorrow."

Upon hearing their conversation, the team leader interjected, "He's more than ten hours late, and the competition is already over. I doubt Lachlan will show up."

Michael raised an eyebrow, chuckling as he glanced at Josie, who was engrossed in her meal. "That's not necessarily the case."

Josie's hair had grown too long, and she had forgotten to bring a hair tie. Thus, she could only loosely gather it with her hand, revealing a youthful side profile.

After all, she was only twenty-five years old.

The team leader clinked glasses with her. "Jo, our team's arena has already been established in Wavery. Can you find some time to go back and see the place you designed yourself?"

Over the past two years, e-sports had made a significant impact on the global stage, especially within the country where its popularity was increasing. ST, as a top team in the industry, had received numerous investments, including one from Lachlan.

He was a man who loved investing in all sorts of emerging industries and was particularly passionate about esports. He would often say that if he couldn't be a professional player, he might as well be their financial backer.

As time went by, Josie became more involved and familiar with the team members. She even drew the design plan for their home arena.

Josie rejected him calmly, "Lachlan has already shown me the video, and there are pictures of it online. You guys did a good job."

"How could looking at it online be the same as reality? Come back with us for a visit. After all, you're the hero of the hour."

Josie shook her head with a light smile. "I can't go back. There's a competition I need to attend in a couple of days."

The team leader let out a sigh, visibly disappointed.

The party had come to an end, and dawn was fast approaching. At that moment, Grape was asleep in Josie's arms.

The spirited boys headed out, and in a low voice, Michael asked Josie, "Shall we escort you home first? It's not safe for you to be out here with a child."
