Dexter had once shared the exact location with her; it was somewhere around this area. Following his pointers, she navigated the surroundings and reached the office building. Upon opening the door, Thomas’ voice sounded from inside.

He was assigning tasks to the employees, who were all engrossed in their work. Josie knocked on the door, and Thomas’ gaze snapped up, his eyes locking onto her as he uttered, “…Mrs. Russell? What brought you here?”

Josie’s gaze swept over him, “I could ask you the same thing. Why are you here?”

Thomas’ eyes shifted subtly, “Mr. Russell asked me to oversee this project, so here I am.”

“Is that so?” Josie’s tone held a touch of suspicion.

Among the many people, only a few garnered Dexter’s trust, and Thomas was his confidante. There were tons of responsibilities and tasks awaiting Thomas at Russell Group; it just seemed odd for Dexter to relocate Thomas here.

Her dubious expression caused Thomas to wipe a bead of sweat from his forehead. He couldn’t help but notice how, under Dexter’s influence, Josie’s casual yet commanding manner mirrored that of Dexter.

“Indeed, I’ve been transferred here.

Unconvinced, Josie cast a cursory look around the office.

Thomas inquired, “Mrs. Russell, what’s the reason for your visit today?”

With no particular reason for suspicion, Josie shifted the topic to Claire, “Look into that as well.”
