cling to him even if he became mad again later.
“I’m sorry, Dexter. I didn’t do it on purpose that day. I asked because I was worried about you. I have no bad
intentions.” Josie babbled quickly, worrying Dexter wouldn’t buy her words.

wildflower, simple yet attractive.

“Your heart’s pounding, huh? Are you that nervous to draw close to me?”
Josie shot a glare at him but didn’t deny it. She knew he deliberately teased her.

“You must be happy to be with your rumored girlfriend the past few days.”

so much the past few days. That woman’s company wants to use me to create a sensation. I’m not related to her in
any way.”
