Chapter 452 Send Her Home
Josie summoned up a smile, unsure of how to react to her remarks. She couldn’t agree
with her.
As Josie’s house was on the way, Zach offered to send her home. Laura sat in the
passenger’s seat. Unlike her usual self, she didn’t speak much throughout the duration of
the car ride.
Josie had an inkling suspicion that Laura was afraid of Zach.
“Jo, thanks for supporting Laura this whole time. She was born with a golden spoon and
never had much working experience. I’m really glad she has you by her side, Zach said as
he looked in the rearview mirror.
Josie wanted to say that Laura was naturally gifted in the area, so she didn’t need to help
her much, but the words got caught in her throat. “I wouldn’t let her do it alone,” she
answered briefly.
“You have a unique type of work that requires you to meet up with clients over drinks, but
I hope Laura can be excluded from that. She has to protect her family’s reputation, so it

intentions were clear as day.
Josie glanced towards Laura, noticing that her face had turned ashen pale.
“Well, of course, Mr. Olsen. Don’t worry, I’ll have your wife sent home safely,” she smiled
as she jokingly continued, “Laura is lucky to have such a good husband who loves her,
unlike mine, who hasn’t even called me even though I’m not home at this late hour.
Zach lowered his eyes, and a scornful appearance painted the corner of his lips, “Well, I
have to make sure she doesn’t make a fool out of herself by causing trouble outside.”
“What did you say?” Laura bristled at his rudeness.
Zach glanced at her and stayed silent. The corner of his lips still curled up.
Josie couldn’t force any laughter anymore. Luckily for her, they had reached Mason
Garden, and Dexter’s car had just parked outside. As the door opened, he got down from
the car, and his secretary signaled to him about the other car parked outside.
The car lights were blinding, so Dexter narrowed his eyes and asked, “Zach?”
“Dex.” Zach answered as he turned off his car’s engine.
Josie got down from the car and waved to Laura. “Thanks for sending me home. I’ll see
you
tomorrow.
Dexter wrapped his arm around her shoulder and nodded at Zach. “Have a safe trip back.”
Josie finally let out a big sigh after they left. I’m not sure why, but I feel that Zach isn’t as
gentle as he looks. Laura seems to be afraid of him too,” she said as they walked into
Mason Garden.
Dexter acted like he didn’t hear what she said. “Why are you back this late?”
“Tomorrow’s the opening of our studio.” Seeing how he had forgotten, she put her arms on
her waist and pretended to be angry. “You don’t seem to care about your wife. Not only
did you forget tomorrow is the opening day of our studio, but you also didn’t offer to fetch
me from work.”
Dexter smirked at her and asked, “Why don’t you check your phone and see who’s the
one who didn’t reply to their messages?”
Arching an eyebrow, Josie took out her phone from her pocket and was stunned to see the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmessages asking her when she would be getting off work. She didn’t reply to any of them.
“I was too busy…”
“Ms. Warren, would you like a warm bath?” Dexter helped her remove her coat and passed
it to their maid.
“That would be perfect!”
Laura had rented the entire twenty-eighth floor of the office building next to the Russell
Group for a year, and their new studio was ready to open the next day. It was a major
undertaking, and many partners had sent them flower baskets and gifts to celebrate. Alice
felt like her hand was giving in as she needed to note them down.
Josie invited Paul to witness the significant event of her business opening.
Dexter’s secretary, Larry, greeted Josie in a formal suit. “Mrs. Russell, Mr. Russell asked me
to congratulate you on your opening.
Josie felt embarrassed by her father’s keen stare. “Thank you for coming. Where is
Dexter?”
Larry handed her a file and explained. Josie opened the file and was surprised to see the
layout design of the business district in the southern part of the city.
She raised her eyebrows, feeling overwhelmed by what she saw.
