Promotion to Director
As they waited, Josie leaned closer and quizzed, “What’s the deal with the Ardon farmily?”
The queue was crawling along, and soon, a nurse approached them. She politely said, “Mr. Russell,
the hospital director mentioned that you could bypass the protocol. Please let me know if you need
immediate attention, and F’ll make the necessary arrangements.”
Her words were veiled, but Dexter and Josie understood.
Dexter glanced at the crowd and declined with a wave of his hand, “No need for that. We’ll wait like
everyone else.”
The nurse nodded and moved on.
Josie always thought he would take advantage of his status and seek special treatment, but today, his
humility surprised her. Sitting beside him, she couldn’t help but admire Dexter’s down-to-earth attitude.
She gave him a thumbs-up, to which he simply beamed and didn’t say anything else.
Then, in a hushed voice, Dexter shifted back to their previous conversation, “The higher authorities
have their sights set on them. The Ardon family is definitely going to face severe consequences this
time.”
No wonder Arnold would also be in trouble. These intricate and complex webs of interests were bound
to have far-reaching repercussions.
Dexter’s weary face carried a sense of ease, signaling that he was content. It seemed like victory was
well within his reach.
At last, it was Josie’s turn. The doctor glanced at her X-ray and prepared to remove the cast. The
process didn’t take long; throughout it, Dexter stood faithfully by her side, his gaze patient and
unwavering.
Afterwards, Josie flexed her limbs as the cast came off, feeling significantly at ease and comfortable.
Her heart skipped a beat when they locked eyes.
For years, she had grown accustomed to being independent, going to school alone, eating out by
herself, and even visiting doctors unaccompanied. She had managed so much on her own. But now,
with him beside her, she felt an overwhelming sense of security.
The doctor briefed her on post-care instructions. On the side, Dexter stealthily committed the doctor’s
reminders to memory. Then, they left the hospital together.
“Who would have expected the busy and esteemed Mr. Russell would personally accompany me for a
follow-up check at the hospital, Josie quipped, playfully trailing behind him. Now that the cast was
removed, she could move more freely.
Dexter joined the banter with a smirk, “Who knew the esteemed Mr. Russell doesn’t need someone to
feed him but can eat on his own.”
His impromptu cheesy comeback made her burst into laughter.
Once they got in the car, Dexter casually handed her a document.
“What’s this?” Josie opened it and realized it was a contract-an appointment letter for her as the new
director of the design department.
“Dexter…”
The man rubbed his temple and uttered, “Yeah, that’s for you.”
“… But why promote me now? You realize it’s going to stir up gossip and speculation about our
relationship, right?”
“You’ve helped the company secure the Sylmark project. It’s a major win! Plus, no one in the
department is more qualified for this position than you.”
Dexter looked into her eyes and said, “Josie, I believe in you.”
No extravagant expressions were needed, just a sincere and straightforward declaration of trust. Yet, it
lifted Josie’s spirits to cloud nine.
Dexter’s opinion had a significant effect on her sense of self-worth and overall happiness.
“Your trust means a lot to me.”
He raised an eyebrow and flashed a radiant smile. Seeing Josie’s smile and happiness made him
happy too.
After the cast was removed, Josie headed to the Russell Group to report for her new role the next day.
At the office, Alice was the first to congratulate Josie on her promotion. She gave Josie a bear hug as
she exclaimed, “Congratulations, Jo! I’m so happy for you!”
Almost out of breath, Josie interrupted Alice from her over-expression. “Okay, okay. This is getting
embarrassing. People are staring at us.”
Alice released her and glanced back at the curious onlookers in the department
“Let them! You’re the department director now. There’s no doubt that you are well qualifed for this role!
And who dares to say otherwise?”
A woman walked by and jeered. Tsk. Who knows how long you’ll last
It was one of Claire’s teammates.
Alice wanted to fire back, but Josie held her back. She shook her head at Alice and replied the woman.
