The Epic Blind Date with My Boss

It was clear that Dexter was behind the problem that was crippling the Carter Group. Mark, however, seemed to be turning a blind eye. This could be because he didn’t care about Arnold, or perhaps he simply valued Dexter too much to lose him.

“I heard you took Leanne to see Old Mr. Russell a few days ago,” Mark commented, swiftly changing the subject.

Dexter was not at ease with Mark’s use of the nickname “Leanne” to address Heather, even though it was a nickname he had been familiar with in the past.

Dexter nodded dismissively, then took a sip of his cocktail.

Mark’s words were bold and unwavering. “That’s kind of you, Dexter,” he said. “Old Mr. Russell was very fond of Leanne and took care of her. She should be visiting him more often. Also, you were so close with Leanne ever since you two were kids. You should spend more time together.”
