Blind Date Turned Proposal novel Chapter 1341

Dexter spent ten minutes familiarizing himself with the document's content. Seeing the chairman himself arrive, everyone from the venture capital side was on tenterhooks.

Russell Group was somewhat far from Bijou International, but in terms of proximity to the hospital, it was quite close.

Dexter thought half an hour should be enough time for him to meet with the owner of Eccentric Corporation before he could leave to have dinner with Josie. He was confident about his time management.

“Rumors say that the boss of Eccentric Corporation has some health issues, so he might be late as traveling is inconvenient for him,” Preston softly stated from the back seat of the car. “Indeed, it was quite abrupt to notify them at the last minute.”

Dexter remained noncommittal, engrossed in his documents. Suddenly, he glanced up at Preston and asked, “Are you nervous?”

The latter was still wearing his suit from the meeting, which was appropriate for very formal occasions.

Preston lowered his eyes. “After sending you off, I have other official matters to attend to.”

Dexter refrained from saying anything more.

The chosen location was a Western restaurant on the third floor of Bijou International, and their table was by the window. The setting was both romantic and atmospheric.

Dexter paused slightly, his tone deceptively mild as he said, “To my knowledge, the owner of Eccentric Corporation is a man. You're asking me to have a Western dinner with a man.”

Preston lowered his head again. “It was my oversight, but it's Friday today, and many places have been fully booked. Plus, you specifically requested for a restaurant in this area...”

Dexter glanced at his wristwatch again; it was already ten past seven. Undoubtedly, there wouldn't be enough time to find a new place.

Seeing Dexter's compliance, Preston quietly breathed a sigh of relief. “I'll be off then. The two bodyguards will be nearby. Make sure to call me if anything happens.”

Dexter gave a light hum of acknowledgment.

Over the past couple of years, he had rarely made public appearances. This was the first time he had voluntarily stepped into the limelight. A significant reason for this was to advance Russell Group's venture into the medical field. Additionally, he wanted to assist Preston in establishing his credibility. He saw the latter as a promising talent worthy of nurturing.
