Blind Date Turned Proposal novel Chapter 1368

The two men accepted the cigarettes and cautioned, “Mr. Bastille, please behave yourself.”

Morgan acknowledged their warning with a nod, and Josie was granted access to the courtyard house.

Morgan gave the back of her neck a playful squeeze and said, “I knew you had ulterior motives.”

Josie, tired of pretending, met his gaze and asked, “Morgan, you have a secret, don't you?”

After taking the last puff of his cigarette, Morgan said, “You know I'll sign the agreement one way or the other for you sake, so you don't have a reason to follow me all the way here. There is, of course, another possibility: you're in love with me. But of course, I dismissed that idea immediately.”

Josie didn't know what to say. He sure is self-aware.

Josie glanced into the room. “Who's in there?”

“Stop asking,” he said.

“Then I'll go in myself.”

She was about to step inside when Morgan grabbed her. “Do you have a death wish?”

Is it that serious? Josie narrowed her eyes in confusion when a voice echoed from within. “Morgan, where are you? It's your turn.”

The voice didn't sound young.

Morgan grabbed Josie's hand and led her inside. “I'm coming.”

A wave of woody fragrance mingling with the scent of women's perfume that was slightly overpowering greeted them the moment Morgan opened the door.

People were seated on all four sides of a square table. An elderly bigwig held a deck of cards in his hand while the women sat aside quietly.

All eyes in the room focused on Josie. They were clearly surprised to see Morgan bring a woman in.

The elderly man with silver hair seated at the head of the table asked with a malicious smile, “Who's this?”

“My girlfriend. She's throwing a tantrum, and I had to appease her.” Morgan, with his arm around Josie's shoulder, said, “Greet them.”
