Blind Date Turned Proposal novel Chapter 1269

Juliette's expression shifted to one of concern upon noticing Josie's lackluster complexion, prompting her to inquire, “Everything all right with you?”

“I'm fine,” she managed to respond.

Thalia, adept at navigating the nuances of her high-level position, subtly sensed the tension, offering guidance with, “Miss, please allow me to show you to the restroom this way.”

For Josie, this felt like a timely rescue.

Her feelings toward Juliette were complicated, a mix of transparency and concealed emotions. There was nothing ostensibly secretive about their relationship, yet the undercurrents were complex.

Moreover, Josie couldn't ignore the apparent affection Juliette harbored for Dexter, making her feel somewhat intrusive as Dexter's ex-wife.

Once inside the solitude of the restroom, Josie hastily splashed her face with water, seeking clarity among the whirlwind of thoughts.

Thalia, lingering nearby, hesitated before confirming, “Ms. Warren, right? I hope I'm not mistaken.”

Josie offered a smile, albeit strained, and complimented, “Indeed, you're quite astute. Dexter sure has an eye for people.”

Thalia's face fell into an expression of apology. “Actually, I was chosen by Mr. Peeple and haven't had the opportunity to speak with Mr. Russell.”

“How did you recognize me then?” Josie inquired.

“Your story is legendary within Russell Group, akin to folklore. Everyone's familiar with it. It's quite a surprise to see you here, just like the stories predicted—Mr. Russell's great search ending in success!”

The hyperbole seemed a bit much to Josie.

Leaning against the sink, she couldn't help but probe, “What do people usually say about me?”

Silence fell as Thalia hesitated to speak.

Just then, Dexter's message popped up: Why aren't you replying?
