That Day When I Got Married to My Boss at the Blind Date

Josie pressed her lips together, her smile fading. “I understand what you’re implying, but it’s not true. The only reason I’m still here today is because of the contract I have with him-a hundred days. If I can resolve the issue with Arnold, I’ll immediately leave with the child.”

Justin sized her up. “I’m afraid your lingering feelings are still there, and you haven’t even realized it yourself.”

That single sentence struck Josie’s heart. She was momentarily stunned, then shook her head. “Impossible.”

Justin remained silent.

“It’s all just for show. Don’t worry,” Josie said seriously.

Justin nodded, seemingly lost in thought. He hesitated before saying, “Dexter is a cunning man. Don’t let him manipulate you. In any case, avoid being with him.”

Right then, someone at the dining table called out to them. Josie said, “All right. Let’s eat.”

The two of them stepped into the light, only to see Dexter descending the stairs. Josie’s heart skipped a beat. She was unsure if he had heard anything, but the man’s expression remained unchanged as he asked, “What’s wrong?”
