Josephine opened her eyes after Ethan left the room, feeling a little disappointed
in his reaction. After all, she had decided to pretend to struggle a bit before giving
in and offering herself to him if he made a move on her. To her surprise, Ethan
was a gentleman.
Her hands circled the edge of her blanket as she cursed herself for having a dirty
mind. In the meantime, she was fascinated by Ethan’s character. He's an
excellent man. I'll cherish such a kind man like him from today onward. After
tossing and turning on the bed for a while, sleep finally took her. She snuggled
under the blanket and fell asleep.
The next morning, Josephine’s preset phone alarm woke her from her sleep
without mercy. She groggily reached out a hand from under the blanket and
turned the alarm off. A moment later, she realized that it was another working
day. At that, she reluctantly opened her eyes. Why do I have to leave my bed? I
don't want to go to work!
Even though Josephine was reluctant to wake up, she was dedicated to her job.
After rolling out of her bed, she applied light makeup on her face. The bruise on
her face had faded and her skin had been restored to an intact state. Everything
seemed fine, aside from the little scrape at the corner of her lip.
Josephine thought to herself, I'll just go to work without bothering anyone. I
should let Ethan sleep. I bet he stayed up late last night. When she opened the
door, the sight of a well- groomed man on the couch greeted her. She blinked in
surprise. “Why are you up so early?”
“I want to give you a ride to work.” Ethan smiled at her. However, Josephine
turned down his offer. “Theres no need. I'll take a cab to work. You should go
back to sleep.” Ethan rose to his feet. “No way. I won't allow it on my watch.”
At last, Josephine had no choice but to allow him to send her to work in his eye-
catching sports car. She thought about the matter over on the way to the office.
Now that everyone knows Ethan and I are seeing each other, I don’t think we
should do it in secret anymore as if we are ashamed of our relationship. That's
right! I'll make our relationship public.
The sports car eventually rolled to a stop in front of the company. Ethan wasn't
able to accompany Josephine due to him having an appointment with the realtor
later. And so, she got out of the car and waved goodbye. “Be careful on the
road.” Ethan nodded. “I'll pick you up after work.”
With that, he took his leave. Meanwhile, tons of envious eyes fell on Josephine.
Holding her head high, Josephine walked into the company lobby at a steady
pace. Her colleagues from other departments, whom she seldom dealt with,
approached her and greeted her. “Good morning, Josephine!”
“Congratulations, Josephine!” “I'm looking forward to your wedding!” “Mr. Quarles
is a handsome guy. You're so lucky to have him.” The statements took Josephine
aback. What's next? Are they going to urge us to start a family? She cleared her
throat. “Calm down, everyone. Let's not discuss personal matters at work.”
After that, Josephine returned to her seat. Just as she sat, people gathered
around her. “Josephine, why did Mr. Quarles leave the group chat?”
“Do you think he'll rejoin the group chat?” Josephine chuckled and replied, “I'm
not sure. Let's get back to work, everyone. We've got a long day ahead.”
Wren got Josephine a cup of coffee to go and set it on the table. After taking a
seat beside her, Wren smiled. “Mr. Quarles did a good job! The way he
announced himself in the group chat and told Katrina off was like a slap in the
face to her! Even her supporters didn’t dare contradict him.”
Josephine had to admit that Ethan’s behavior was satisfying. After all, people
around the office didn’t dare stand up against Katrina. Even Josephine herself
got ridiculed by Katrina a few times. Katrina had it coming!
