Noticing that Ethan smiled and picked up his car keys. “Okay, I’ll send you home.”
“It’s alright. I can easily take a cab from here, so I don’t want to trouble you.” Just as
Josephine finished speaking, she picked up her bag and left the private room.
Suddenly, Ethan followed her into the elevator as he couldn’t let her take a cab home alone that late at night. When Josephine saw him follow her into the lift, she thanked him. “Thank you for treating me to dinner tonight.”
“You just treated me to a meal too, didn’t you?” he replied. Hearing that, Josephine couldn’t help but laugh as just a cup of tea at the restaurant cost as much as what he ate in a barbeque restaurant!
When they arrived at the parking lot downstairs, Josephine was about to take a cab home, but Ethan had already domineeringly grabbed her hand and taken her to his car. She was stunned for a few seconds and had no choice but to let him take her home. On the way home, Ethan turned on the music, and the atmosphere in the car was very relaxed, Unexpectedly, he could take her home without her having to give him directions.
When they reached, Josephine got out of the car and waved at him. “Drive slowly.
See you.” “As you say, we will definitely see each other again.” Ethan looked deeply into her eyes and smiled.
Josephine’s face flushed slightly. Isn’t ‘see you’ just a common phrase? He was taking it too literally. “Drive slowly.” Josephine had to repeat herself. As she watched him drive away, she heaved a sigh of relief and felt relaxed.
As soon as she entered her house with her bag in her hand, she saw her mother cleaning the hallway. Noticing her, Heidi looked up at her and asked curiously, “Why are you back so late?”
Just as Josephine was about to brush it off, Heidi immediately smelled the odor on her and said, “You reek of barbeque. Change into some clean clothes and get them washed.”
Josephine’s face flushed slightly as she quickly sniffed her body and hair. Ah! She smelled of barbeque. Instantly, a question popped up in her mind. Did Ethan also smell it? Did he mind it? With that, Josephine went upstairs, took a shower, and prepared herself mentally to welcome the new day with a positive attitude, even though she didn’t want to go to work at all.
However, she couldn’t fall asleep in bed. She wasn’t reminiscing about her vacation, but rather, her mind was filled with the image of Ethan that she couldn’t shake off.
When she closed her eyes, she would either imagine his kiss, his smile, or his figure.
As a result, she couldn’t fall asleep until two in the morning when she finally dozed off slowly. Just as she was about to get into a deep sleep, her alarm clock rang incessantly. Josephine. drowsily reached out and turned it off. After that, she went back to sleep again.
At 9.30AM, Heidi thought Josephine had gone. to work and decided to go over and clean her room. But when she pushed the door open, she saw her daughter sleeping soundly while hugging the blanket.
“Joey, Joey, why aren’t you at work? Are you taking a day off today?” Heidi asked as she patted her. Josephine immediately sat up, which startled Heidi. “Mom, what time is it?” Josephine asked with a panicked look in her eyes. “It’s already 9.30PM!”
“Oh my god! I’m going to be late for my morning meeting. Josephine exclaimed before jumping out of bed and rushing into the bathroom. Five minutes later, she came out of the bathroom to get dressed. Heidi, on the other hand, was used to seeing her daughter’s frantic behavior. She knew that it was her daughter’s nature, so she thought it would be good enough if she could. find a man to marry her, and that
Josephine shouldn’t be too picky.
“Mom, I’m leaving! Josephine shouted from the changing room before rushing down the stairs and heading to her car which was parked in the yard. She quickly got into her hatchback car and sped off.
Josephine did her best to hurry. Along the way, she received reminders from her colleague Wren, who also sent her a message asking, ‘We’re in the meeting room.
Where are you?’
When Josephine arrived at the company building, she rushed into the meeting room with her bag as fast as she could but was still half an hour late.
Mr. Fox’s expression didn’t look good, and the other staff members cast glances at her. Noticing that, Josephine smiled apologetically. “Sorry, I got stuck in traffic on the way.”
“From what I know, there’s never been traffic on the roads you take to work. If you’re late, you’re late. There’s no need for excuses. Take a seat!” Mr. Fox had a good understanding of Josephine’s work attitude.
During the meeting, they talked about the exclusive broadcasting rights given by the
Presgrave Corporation, and Mr. Fox even praised Josephine a few times. She didn’t expect to be given an award or anything like that as she knew that her department was always stingy, and the management was even reluctant to pay overtime.
After the meeting, a group of young girls gathered around her, asking her to share what she saw at the wedding. The most important thing was whether she met any wealthy person. Josephine had indeed noticed quite a few super-rich people who had made headlines internationally “Joey, did you meet any handsome men?” Wren asked.
“Um, yes,” Josephine answered truthfully. “How handsome? Can you show us a picture?” With that, Josephine immediately selected a photo of Ethan from her phone and show it to them.
“Oh, my God!” A group of female colleagues instantly exclaimed. “Josephine, what’s your relationship with this guy?” “He’s just a handsome guy I met at the wedding.
Nothing is going on between us,” Josephine replied somewhat nervously.
“Joey, can we do a news feature on this handsome guy? Our entertainment news department is lacking this kind of handsome man that is hard to come by. I believe that if he shows up, the traffic of our news channel will definitely surge through the roof.”
Josephine immediately took back her phone and refused, “No way! We cannot infringe on someone’s image rights. You can look, but you cannot share it with others.”
After dispersing the group of colleagues, Wren from the next table came over and asked, “Hey, have you heard? Miss Ain might be retiring.”
“Why?” Josephine asked surprisedly “I heard she got sick and needs to rest.
Moreover, she has to go abroad for treatment, so her position will be vacant. Many people are eyeing it!” Wren finished speaking and signaled to her. “I think you have a chance at it.”
Of course, Josephine also wanted to get the position because her initial dream was to be a news anchor, who sit in front of the anchor desk and broadcast news. She wanted to become a well-known female news anchor.
However, the competition in this industry was too fierce. After working as a journalist for three years, there was finally a vacancy now. Who wouldn’t want to move up?
“I’d like that, but it also depends on the management’s arrangements,’ Josephine said, trying not to reveal her thoughts because rumors were frightening, and she had experienced being backstabbed. Thus, she decided to observe discreetly.
“Josephine, write these press releases and hand them to me before you leave work.”
A female voice rang. Following that, a few documents were thrown on Josephine’s desk, which startled her.
She looked up and saw an egoistic woman looking at her with her arms folded. It was
Katrina, the director’s sister-in- law. She was one of the most arrogant people in the
TV studio, and unfortunately, she disliked Josephine the most.
After Josephine accepted the task, she had no option but to start working. She skillfully read through the materials as she tapped on the laptop’s keyboard..
At this moment, the entire TV station was discussing who would take over Ain Lisette’s position as the female anchor. Of course, the station intended to promote several newcomers to train them. The first position Josephine interviewed for was the position of a female anchor, so she had never given up on this dream. She dreamt of becoming a well- known female anchor, and now, after three years of waiting, the position was finally available.
Plenty of people were eyeing the position, and Katrina was one of them. Moreover, she was the director’s sister-in-law, so she was undoubtedly the person with the highest chance to move up. However, she wasn’t a graduate of mass communication, so this could potentially stand as her obstacle.
On the other hand, Josephine was the most outstanding in terms of appearance, professionalism, and broadcasting ability. Therefore, she and Katrina had become the most likely competitors for the position.
Josephine spent the whole morning writing manuscripts and went to the company canteen with Wren for lunch in the afternoon. The two sat in an unnoticeable corner.
Suddenly, someone walked over with a tray. As Josephine looked up, she saw Katrina sitting across from her while giving shooting over a hostile glare.
