Chapter 196 Attending the Celebration Party
Dexter creased his forehead. “My grandpa is also now your grandpa.”
Josie let out a sign without taking his words to heart. “I have no idea how to help my father. Matt’s words worry me.”
Dexter walked away for a short while and brought back with him a box of ice cream. Then, he placed the box in front of her foot and said, “Since we’ve already come to this point, have something sweet to lighten up.”
Josie was appalled by his behavior. “This…”
“You earned the project and got promoted to the director position. You’ve made significant. progress.”
The ice cream melted as soon as it entered her mouth, and she felt a burst of sweetness that immediately changed her mood for the better. “Since Grandpa has returned home, I’ll return to my original room.”
A cloud passed across Dexter’s gaze. He took the ice cream away from her, leaving her dumbfounded by his actions. “Then stop eating. I’m getting my revenge.”
Josie’s hands were frozen on the spot. “What do you mean?” After mulling over what had happened, she finally chuckled and teased him, “Dexter Russell, are you sad that I’m leaving your side?”
He grunted coldly without looking at her.
They had been sleeping in the same room for a long time. It would be impossible not to feel a sense of emptiness. Josie couldn’t deny how comfortable she felt using his arms as her pillow.
“I’m just joking. Please return the ice cream to me.” Josie went closer to him. “Dexter?”
Despite feeling annoyed, he regained his composure and passed her the ice cream. “Grandpa has gone home, but are you sure he didn’t order the maids in Mason Garden to keep their eyes on us?”
Josie nodded incessantly. “That’s true. I guess I have no choice but to stay in your room.”
Dexter’s smile slowly spread across his face, creasing the ends of his eyes. Under the light, his warm gaze grew with affection.

Attending the Celebration Party
Once the sun was up, Josie was sent to the beauty parlor for a facial treatment before changing into a customized evening gown made by the stylist hired by Dexter. He was amazed by her beauty. “How could you be so gorgeous with such minimal efforts?”
Josie was humored by his compliment, “I’m just a regular person.”
“You can’t say this anymore. You were a regular person, but now you’re not.”
Josie pursed her lips as she looked at herself in the mirror. She wore a light green mermaid. dress accentuating her curves, while her hair was tied into a slick bun without any accessories. Despite the simplicity of her style, her timeless beauty and elegance were still captivating.
The stylist admired how good she looked. “You’re leaving me speechless. You look amazing! This is the epitome of natural beauty.”
Josie couldn’t conceal her delight at the compliments she received.
In the evening, Dexter picked her up in a new car. The Mercedes AMG G 63 had been remodeled, resulting in a bold and impressive new look.
Josie stood frozen in amazement. He wore a plain white shirt, but his charming appearance complemented his vehicle flawlessly. She couldn’t believe her eyes as she assumed he preferred simplicity.
She didn’t imagine him to be this wild.
Dexter walked in front of her and reached out his hands. “This dress fits you perfectly.”
Josie rested her hands on his hands. “I’m nervous.”
“I’m here.”
She felt reassured by his words.
There were plenty of branded cars parked on the ground floor of Bulgari Hotel. All the individuals who entered and exited the hotel were wealthy.
Josie followed Dexter as they walked into the elevator. The doors opened to the top floor of the Bulgari Hotel.
Ten tables were placed extravagantly in the ballroom, and all the guests were prominent figures in the industry.
Josie carefully walked through the ballroom with her hands wrapped around his arms. Everyone’s gaze fell on Dexter and slowly shifted to the women beside him. They were surprised because he had never brought a woman to any previous events he had attended.
