“Josephine, don’t even think of trying to take Ain’s position. My brother-in-law has reserved that position for me,” she said directly. That made Josephine laugh. She calmly retorted, “The company is not your home. I believe that the most suitable person should get the position.”
“You… I know you have some skills, but you’re not good enough for this position. Let me make it clear, this position will definitely be mine. Everyone else can forget about taking it, or I’ll ask my sister to sack them,” she warned. With that, Katrina picked her plate up and left.
Right after, Wren turned her head and watched her leave before turning to look at
Josephine and said, “Look at how arrogant she is. She’s lucky that her sister gave birth to three chubby. sons for the director. That gave her the confidence to act so arrogantly.”
Everyone working in the TV station knew that the director’s wife wore the pants in their relationship, which was why Katrina was bold enough to make such remarks. It might be true that the director had reserved the position for her. “Joey, are you still planning to compete for the position?”
Josephine, who had been planning her career path, knew very well that if she didn’t make it this year, it would be even harder to do so in the future, so she would definitely fight for it.
“If I don’t fight for it this year, I won’t have a chance in the future. I won’t give up.”
There was a glint in Josephine’s eyes. Wren knew her limitations, and she didn’t qualify in terms of her appearance and credentials. Just then, Josephine’s phone rang, and upon looking at it, she noticed that Ethan had sent her a message. ‘Are you at work?’
‘Yes’ Josephine replied. ‘Is it convenient for you to come out and see me? I’m at your company’s entrance.’ He sent another message. After reading his message,
Josephine took a deep breath. He’s here? At the company’s entrance?
I’m at the company. Wait a minute, I’ll come down to see you: Josephine thought that it might be rude of her if she refused to see him when he had come all the way here to see her. Josephine had a few bites of food and then left.
At the front entrance of the Tribus TV in Averna, an eye-catching black Rolls-Royce was parked nearby which attracted the attention of passersby who were all thinking that some big shot was there to pick up a beautiful girl.
As soon as Josephine walked out of the door, she saw the car, but she wasn’t sure if it was Ethan’s. She approached it and bent down to look through the window. The next moment, the car window was rolled down, revealing a handsome man
That made her heart skip a beat. “Hi, Mr. Quarles.” She smiled and waved at him. “Is it convenient to visit your company?” Ethan suddenly opened the car door and got out.
Josephine didn’t dare to bring him around in the company, so she politely said, “It is not convenient since it’s office hours now. But there is a coffee shop next door. We can go there.”
“Ok.” Ethan raised his eyebrows and got out of the car. Josephine was dressed in workwear today. She had a slim-fit suit jacket and pants on, which showcased her attractive figure.
With that, Josephine led him into the cafe and they chose a seat next to the window.
Josephine then asked him what coffee he wanted. “Just give me whatever flavor you like!” Ethan said. He wasn’t being picky and chose to have her favorite drink.
She ordered two cups of regular coffee and sat down. She smiled and asked Ethan, who was sitting in front of her, “Mr. Quarles, your job seems to be flexible!”
“Yes, I can work as long as I have a laptop with me. I don’t need a fixed office location.” Ethan nodded and mentioned. Josephine knew she shouldn’t envy the flexibility that he had because he was the business owner. Only business owners had such freedom. Just then, Josephine’s phone rang and she answered it, “Hello?”
“Josephine, where are you? Come back to your seat soon. There’s still a pile of videos to be edited. I need them before the end of the day.” Katrina’s voice could be heard from the other end.
“It’s lunchtime now and I have the right to take a break,” Josephine replied. “I’m just reminding you so that you can get it done by this afternoon,” Katrina said and hung up.
Josephine sighed in frustration, and Ethan could tell from her phone call and expression that she was clearly having a tough time at work. “Are you having any difficulties at work?” Ethan asked her as he picked up his coffee mug.
Josephine lifted up the mug of coffee that was just served and took a sip. “It’s not difficulties; it’s more of a challenge. One of the female anchors in our station is stepping down, and I want to compete for her position.”
“Do you have confidence?” Ethan asked curiously. Josephine leaned closer to him and whispered, “Of course, but unfortunately, one of the competitors is the director’s sister-in-law. I’m afraid that there would be nepotism, and that I wouldn’t stand a chance at all.”
Hearing that, Ethan looked at her sympathetically and softly asked, “Do you really want to be a news anchor?” ‘I do! This is my dream.” Josephine’s eyes lit up as she spoke. “Do you need my help?” Ethan smiled.
At first, Josephine was surprised, then she thought for a moment before refusing. “No,
I don’t need it. In terms of work, I still want to succeed based on my ability and credentials. It’s getting late and I have to go back to work. Mr. Quarles, do you want to stay here for a while?”
Ethan smirked as he looked at her before glancing at his watch. “I have a meeting to attend soon.” “Is that so? Then let’s end our meeting here today, and I’ll treat you to coffee next time.” Josephine smiled.
“Okay, let’s go!” Ethan said while standing up. As they walked, Josephine was being thoughtful and opened the coffee shop door for him, which made Ethan feel like a guest. He was amused but at the same time, he couldn’t do anything about it.
Josephine walked toward the company building, thinking that Ethan would return to his car, but to her surprise, he was following her. “Mr. Quarles, your car is over there,”
Josephine thought he had forgotten where he had parked and kindly reminded him.
Hearing that, Ethan smiled and pointed to her company’s entrance, Tm going inside for a meeting” Josephine was stunned upon hearing that. The entire building was their company’s office area. Is he here to discuss a collaboration?
She pointed to her company building and asked, “You are coming to my company for a meeting?” “Mm-hmm!” Ethan replied in a very deep and sexy voice.
Josephine couldn’t guess what meeting he was going to attend, but she didn’t want to pry too much, so she made a gesture and said, “Come on then!”
Ethan followed her and they went in. Suddenly, all of the six female receptionists were attracted to him and looked over. Josephine intentionally kept a distance from him by standing half a meter away. Ethan smirked upon noticing that. When they reached the elevator, Josephine rushed over from behind him to hold the elevator door for him like a server.
Ethan tried to suppress the laughter as he was amused by Josephine’s behavior.
When they entered the elevator, Josephine asked him, “Which floor, please?” “16th floor,” Ethan replied.
Josephine blinked her eyes when she realized that it was where the company’s executives held meetings. While pressing the button for the 16th floor, she also pressed the button for the 8th floor. Finally, they arrived on the 8th floor. Josephine quickly said goodbye, “I’ll leave first. Goodbye.”
“Goodbye,” Ethan replied in a deep voice. As soon as Josephine got off the elevator, she felt a little dazed. Her mind was full of questions about what he was doing in the company and why he was going to the meeting room on the 16th floor. Is he here to meet a client?
As Josephine walked, she almost bumped into someone and that person was angered. “Josephine, are you blind? Can’t you watch where you’re going?”
Josephine sure was unlucky. The person she almost bumped into was Katrina. “Look at you. And you dare think about getting promoted with this kind of behavior. You must be dreaming.” Katrina sneered.
Following that, Josephine let out a sigh and walked back to her desk. Wren was curious and asked, “Where did you go? Why did you just come back now?”
“I was meeting a friend at the coffee shop downstairs,” Josephine replied. “What kind of friend? A male friend?” Wren teased, “Is Luke still pursuing you?”
“I ran into him at the wedding,” Josephine replied. “He’s not bad. At least he’s from a wealthy family. You should stop being picky and might as well go for him. You’re getting old so you shouldn’t be too choosy,” Wren said.
“Wren, this is about my marriage. I have to marry someone I love, not just someone who loves me. This concerns my happiness for the rest of my life. I don’t lack money. I just want to be with someone I’m in love with,” Josephine said.
“Don’t be too naive. Do you think you can find true love in this day and age? Love can’t fill your stomach, but money can fulfill all your material needs and buy your happiness and contentment. I think Luke is not bad.” Wren thought Josephine’s standards were too high. “Anyway, I won’t settle for less. I want to be with someone I love.” Josephine sighed.
“Tsk, I predict you will become an old lonely woman,” Wren, who was engaged, hoped
Josephine would find a partner soon so they could have common topics to talk about.
“I don’t mind being an old lonely woman. Being alone is quite nice,” Josephine said nonchalantly.
