Blind Date Turned Proposal novel Chapter 1169

He began to laugh. Right then, his assistant knocked on the door. “Mr. Mills, there's a call for you. They said they're almost here.”

The city leaders were due to arrive, and Arnold was waiting at the restaurant entrance with Josie. As the leaders got out of their cars, they were taken aback. “Ms. Warren, what happened to your leg? It was fine the last time we met.”

Josie let out a sigh. “I was unlucky. I got beaten up for no reason while walking down the street. Rivodia doesn't seem too safe.”

“Who's so audacious to hit someone in broad daylight?”

Their faces were filled with anger.

Standing behind Josie, Arnold scoffed, “I bet you've stirred up some trouble, haven't you? It's left someone displeased. Ms. Warren, you better think carefully, who have you offended?”

Josie gritted her teeth in frustration. “I've always been upright and honest, yet I can't figure out how I got into this mess. I suppose I must be stuck with some bad luck as if I've upset the gods and brought misfortune upon myself.”

Without changing his expression, Arnold kicked her from behind.

The leaders exchanged glances. One of them kindly asked, “Have the person who committed the assault been apprehended?”

Arnold chimed in, “Yeah, have they been caught?”

Josie glared at him, knowing he was referring to Dexter. “They're still at large.”

Arnold smiled, patting her shoulder, “It seems we need to step up our efforts.”

After the meal, Arnold indeed called in a professional to check, ensuring there were no issues. Once the people at the table clinked glasses, it signified that they could start work.

As they chatted casually around the table, Josie was busy eating when she heard them say, “The second half of the month is going to be busy.”

“There's no hardship in doing one's duty. It's just that this time, we've finally got something on Vipera. I hope there won't be any mistakes.”
