Blind Date Turned Proposal

Dexter’s secretary was waiting for him in the backseat of the car in the garage. After she finished reporting about work to him, Moses stopped the vehicle by the side of the road, and Dexter shut his eyes. He looked exhausted.

Before the secretary exited the vehicle, she said cautiously, “Mr. Russell, Mrs. Russell called me today. She seems to have been looking for you.”

Dexter opened his eyes almost instantly. His gaze was ominous. “When was this?”

“At night.”

Dexter picked up his coat and looked for his personal cell phone. When he turned it on, he saw a few unread messages.

“As expected, they won.”
