“Let’s grab some food then.”

Josie’s eyes widened in surprise. “This involves the Russell Group’s internal matters. I don’t think it would be appropriate to have me there.”

“You’re my wife. How is it not appropriate?” Dexter caressed her hair. “It’s alright. Think of it. as a chance for you to get to know them better. After all, you’ll be seeing them more often.”
