    Chapter 101 Small Talk


    She replied sarcastically. It was not a tone a subordinate would speak to an employer, prompting the


    person to look at Josie with astonishment.


    “Get two boxes of tokens and send them overter, Dexter instructed the person before indicating to


    Josie to follow him.


    He walked fast. Josie tugged the hem of his shirt and asked worriedly. “Are you going to y?”


    Dexter found her fearful expression funny and answered gently, “Don’t worry. It’s all right here.”


    A game had already begun in the private lounge when they arrived. A few people sat at a table with


    piles. of tokens before them, waiting for the dealer to give out cards. These people were either heirs of


    wealthy families or prominent people.


    One of them astutely recognized Dexter despite the darkness. He immediately stood up and greeted,


    “Mr. Russell, I didn’t expect to see you today.”


    Everyone turned to look at Dexter. Meanwhile, Dexter ced his hands behind him and smiled slightly.


    “Does your father know how much you gamble in this ce?”


    “Mr. Russell, I have missed your ce since I went overseas. What’s wrong with ying a few rounds


    to Satisfy my craving?” The person looked young. Josie guessed he was an heir from a wealthy family


    and younger than Dexter.


    Dexter patted the person’s shoulder. “You shoulde to my ce for horse riding one of these days.


    Let’s see if you maintain your fitness level.


    The person agreed before turning to Josie and joked. “Is she your new assistant? Why is she wearing a


    mask?”


    Dexter turned to Josie slightly to introduce them. “He’s Leo Ardon.”

    Josie replied, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Ardon. I wear a mask due to my skin allergies. It’s embarrassing to


    show my face.”


    was


    She was unsure whether Leo believed her excuse, but he did not seem to mind. “Mr. Russell, do you


    want to join the game? You can have my seat.


    Once he said that, the others at the table urged Dexter to join them. They all looked young and knew


    how influential Dexter was. No one dared to show disrespect.


    Dexter epted the offer and took Leo’s seat. “I’ll y a couple of rounds.”


    That’s great!”


    “Bring Mr. Russell a drink.


    Thankfully, Josie memorized Dexter’s preferences after what had happened previously. She instructed


    the server, “Mr. Russell would like Earl Grey tea. Make sure to filter the tea leaves twice before


    serving.”


    “It must have been hard studying overseas all these years, Dexter said to Leo while casually cing a


    card. on the table.


    “Yes. My father refuses to let me return home. He said I must settle down overseas. However, I


    disagree


    with him. I like Wavery much better.” Leoined in frustration as he looked at the cards


    “Mr. Ardon wants the best for you The person opposite Dexter yed a King, so Dexter followed up


    with another card. He seems to be having health issues I didn’t see him at this years reonomic forum”


    His health is okay, but he keeps saying he wants to retire. He must have been tired after leading the


    business for many years” Leo sounded proud of his father


    “He should retire if he thinks it chest for him. Times are changing too fast. Moreover, your stepmother


    keeps getting into trouble


    “That’s right. Two days ago, my father was furious that she had sought out someone alone and pped


    her when she returned. It was so scary that I dared not make a sound” Leo seemed to trust Dester, or


    he thought telling Dexter this would not reveal much.


    The server brought tea Joste took the tea from him and ced it by Dexter’s hand However, the room


    was too dark, so she identally bumped her hand against the cup and caused the hot tea to stter


    on the back of her hand. It soon turned red


    Dexter narrowed his eyes and said tly. “Go deal with it.”


    Josie apologized and retreated from the room. She ran to the washroom and washed her hand under


    cold


    water


    Meanwhile. Dexter finished two rounds of games in the private lounge and won each time. Leo enjoyed


    watching Dexter y and urged him to y a few more rounds. However, Dexter decided to stop and


    called the server over. “I will leave these two boxes of tokens for you to share. I hope you all have a


    good time tonight.”
