The Epic Blind Date with My Boss

Chapter 740 Ex-boyfriend

"I'm not returning yet," Josie protested. "I must continue the investigation and confirm whether they had anything to do with Paul's disappearance."

Arnold frowned at her determination. "How are you planning to go against them?"

"I have evidence on La Oricle's illegal dealings."

Veins throbbed on Arnold's forehead! He immediately covered her mouth and pushed her against the wall, whispering. "Are you insane? How could you talk about that here?"

Josie whimpered and replied softly, "What's wrong with what I said? What they did is against the law. Your Sky Palace must have many illicit dealings too. So, don't anger me, or I'll get you arrested!"

She tried to intimidate him, but Arnold grinned and replied, "If you ask around, you will discover that every nightclub has something shady going on. On second thought, you don't have to ask anyone. You can ask Dexter if he has done anything illicit."

Josie fell silent at the mention of Dexter and put on a pitiful expression.

Arnold felt heartbroken and jealous as he looked at her. "Do you want the police to arrest him?"

"No," Josie answered honestly. "He must have good reasons for doing that."

Arnold was angry yet amused. He laughed and pinched her cheek. "You and your double standards."

Josie looked up and saw something that scared her out of her wit.

A man with gold-rimmed glasses turned toward a corner, surrounded by a group of people. He had a dignified yet indifferent demeanor. As he was about to glance in Josie's direction, Josie immediately pulled Arnold by his bow tie, forcing him to bend toward her. She pressed her face against his chest.

When Morgan looked her way, he could not see her as Arnold's body had concealed her completely.

Morgan soon turned elsewhere and left.

Arnold snorted and pressed his cool lips against her face. His gaze darkened instantly, and his heart beat like a drum.

After two minutes, Josie confirmed Morgan had left before pushing Arnold away. She hugged her knees. and gasped for breath.

I almost died of suffocation!

Arnold stood still. He saw her panicked expression and teased, "Why is your heart beating so rapidly? Did you see someone? Are you afraid of someone in Rivodia?"

-Josie ignored him and could not be bothered to explain that her elevated heartbeat was due to fear.

She headed outside and retorted, "I've told you. It's scarier than a ghost."

Arnold followed her. His voice was clear despite the non-stop music on the first floor. "Could it be your ex-boyfriend?"

Josie stood straight and refused to respond.

Arnold glanced at the surroundings and caught a glimpse of a dignified figure leaving the nightclub. He could only see the person's side profile, but it was enough to confirm his suspicion. "He's really your ex- boyfriend."

Josie glared at him. "Can you shut up?"

She did not notice the brief, bitter smile on his face.

Why do other men have significant rolesat some point in her life except me?

It gives me no choice but to accept that fate works on a first-come, first-served basis. Unfortunately, I'm always a step too late.

That was enough to cause me to lose out on everything.

Someone approached them when they arrived at the entrance. It was Scar. He glanced at Josie and greeted, "Yo! Mrs. Carter, you're here." Josie retorted in exasperation. "I'm not Mrs. Carter."

Scar appeared at a loss before going to Arnold's side and reporting some matters. Hearing him, they walked further away, discussing something.

Josie felt it was pointless to hang around and decided to leave. She walked along the road and called Moses. to pick her up. Unbeknownst to her, a tall figure slowly approached her from behind and shoved her phone to the ground. He covered her mouth and dragged her away before she could scream.
