Meanwhile, Katrina came to deliver some documents to the office on the sixteenth floor. As she walked past the conference room, she couldn’t help but peek inside through the slightly open blinds. Her jaw dropped when she saw Ethan inside.
Oh my god! Where did this handsome man come from? That man happened to be in a meeting with Atticus. The quick-witted Katrina noticed an assistant carrying tea and she approached her and said, “I’ll take the tea, you can go do something else!”
The assistant happened to have something to attend to and handed her the tea.
Katrina then knocked on the door nervously and excitedly before pushing it open.
Even though she didn’t look directly at Ethan, her heart was already racing.
“Mr. Kowalski, here’s your tea,” Katrina handed a cup of tea to Atticus Kowalski, the director, and then handed another to Ethan. Katrina boldly took the opportunity to steal a glance at Ethan and she almost fainted right after. Ethan was so good-looking that he could be the reincarnation of Apollo. His face must have been carved by God himself. He was just too handsome.
“Kat, you can leave now!” Atticus had to remind his sister-in-law to leave.
Katrina quickly walked out of the room with a flushed face while pressing her chest to calm her heartbeat. Oh my God! He’s the perfect husband I’ve always dreamed of!
When Atticus comes out later, I must ask him who that man is and ask him to introduce that man to me. At this moment, in the conference room, Atticus handed over a cigarette, but Ethan waved his hand. “I don’t smoke.”
“Have some tea then, Mr. Quarles.” Atticus didn’t dare neglect this precious investor who came to their door. Their TV station’s funds were tight now, and they had already started to look for external investors. They didn’t know that they would find one so quickly. Moreover, if this gentleman invested, he would inject a large amount of capital and directly purchase 52% of the company’s shares, becoming the largest shareholder.
“Mr. Quarles, if I may ask, why did you choose our TV station?” Atticus was also confused, for Ethan’s status and wealth were such that even if he were to invest in ten famous TV stations, it would just be a matter of words, but he chose their station.
“For personal reasons. If there are no other issues, we can sign the contract anytime, and the funds will be transferred to your account within an hour, Ethan said calmly.
Atticus had been looking for investors for almost a year now, and finally, a tycoon had come. How could he let him go? So, he immediately nodded. “Okay, I’ll prepare the contract right away. From now on, Mr. Quarles, you will have the highest executive power in the company, and I will follow your orders completely.”
After a nod, Ethan picked up the teacup to take a sip. “Okay, you go ahead and prepare the documents. I’ll take a look around at my leisure.” “Alright, Mr. Quarles, do you need our vice president to accompany you?”
“No need. I’ll just walk around by myself.” Ethan waved his hand. With a smile, Atticus replied, “Okay. I’ll notify you when the contract is ready.”
He hurried back to his office to prepare the investment contract, while Ethan stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, drinking tea and looking at the scenery outside. For him, this place was his vacation spot, as he had taken a six-month leave from his family.
After he pushed the door open, he remembered that Josephine had stopped on the eighth floor earlier, so her workplace should also be on that floor. He walked toward the direction of the elevator and pressed the button for the eighth floor.
On the other hand, with the warm afternoon sun shining in, Josephine held her face, struggling to stay awake. Even coffee can’t save me. This must be a post-vacation work syndrome. I’m just so tired!
Her seat was in a very good position. When the warm afternoon sun shone on her, she couldn’t resist the urge to doze off anymore. She looked around and saw that her team leader was not in her seat, so she quickly found a comfortable position and fell asleep. She must have been really tired, as she drifted to sleep in seconds.
Meanwhile, at the elevator, the female employees in the corridor were buzzing with excitement as Ethan appeared. He politely asked one of the female employees,
“Excuse me, may I know where Josephine’s desk is?”
“Oh, Josephine! She’s in the last row of seats in the large working space, near the window,” the female employee replied, her heart filled with envy. He’s here to find
Josephine! I wonder what their relationship is.
The moment he walked into the working space, the whole bustling room seemed to instantly quiet down as everyone stopped what they were doing to look at the handsome man who had just appeared. Such a handsome man! However, there was one person who missed seeing his handsome figure as she was currently asleep on her desk.
Meanwhile, Wren had just returned to her seat with some documents when she saw a man walking toward her from the aisle. Her first thought was, He looks familiar. Where have I seen this handsome man? At once, she recalled that she had seen him in a photo on Josephine’s phone. She thought that Josephine wasn’t in her seat, but when she stood up and looked, she realized that Josephine was actually sleeping on her desk.
At the same time, Ethan had already noticed Josephine. When he saw her sleeping on the desk, an affectionate and nonchalant smile played on his lips. He walked over to her desk and quietly looked at her sleeping face without disturbing her.
By now, everyone knew that this handsome man was here to find Josephine, but she was actually sleeping during work hours. To not let her continue to be embarrassed,
Wren kindly poked her with a pen.
Josephine was happily riding unicorns in her dream when she felt someone touching her arm. So, she muttered in her sleep, “What?” “Joey, wake up.” Wren tried harder to wake her up.
Only when Josephine heard Wren’s voice did she realize that she wasn’t at home but at work. She quickly opened her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, and she woke up instantly. Then, she sensed that someone was standing in front of her desk, so she looked up in shock.
As soon as she saw the man, she was petrified and wished she could bury herself in a hole. F*ck! When did Ethan come? And he’s standing right in front of me. Did I drool?
She quickly wiped her mouth, thankfully finding nothing. “Why are you here, Mr.
Quarles?” While blushing, she stood up but didn’t dare look at him.
With a smile, Ethan answered, “No reason. I just wanted to see you.” His low and husky voice sounded like a professional voice actor. “Are you done with your meeting?” She finally looked at him, meeting his deep and mesmerizing eyes, which made her face even hotter. “Not yet.” After saying that, he flipped through the documents on her desk and asked, “Are you not busy?”
At this moment, her face was burning. I am busy! Busy sleeping! “Here you are, Mr.
Quarles! Mr. Kowalski sent me to look for you.” Atticus’ assistant came downstairs to find Ethan. “Okay,” Ethan replied before turning to Josephine. “I’ll go upstairs first.”
“Okay, take care,” Josephine answered and watched him leave. As soon as he left, five to six faces gathered around her desk, all clamoring to ask, “Who is he,
Josephine?”
“What’s your relationship with him?”
“Is he pursuing you, or are you pursuing him?” “He looks very rich. What business is he discussing with Mr. Kowalski?” Her head was spinning at this moment, as she was surrounded and felt a little suffocated. Immediately, she stood up and answered, “I’m not close to him. We’re just acquaintances. Stop guessing around.”
No one believed her words. If they’re not close to each other, why would this handsome man come over and say hello to her? And his eyes clearly showed a hint of affection toward her.
As the others left, Wren whispered to Josephine, “Joey, does the husband of your dreams look like this?” Josephine burst into laughter. “I dare not dream such a beautiful dream.” “Exactly what kind of relationship do you have with him? Tell me. I promise not to spread it around.”
“There’s really nothing between us. We just met at a wedding. He came here today for a meeting and just stopped by to say hello to me,” Josephine explained, feeling a little guilty as she recalled the kiss she shared with Ethan. That should be a dream, right?
On the other hand, Ethan elegantly signed his name and became the largest shareholder of Tribus TV. After that, he turned to Atticus and said, “I heard that your company has a vacant female anchor position. I would like to recommend someone for the job.” “Who do you have in mind, Mr. Quarles?”
“Josephine Jacobson.” Instantly, Atticus was stunned and finally seemed to understand why Ethan had invested in their company. Did he invest in us for the sake of Josephine?
“She does have what it takes for the job. Okay, we will talk to her immediately, and we will train her if she is interested.” He didn’t dare oppose his suggestion. Then, he continued, “To extend our warm welcome to you, I plan to treat all the company’s midto-high-level employees to dinner tonight so we can get to know each other better.”
“Sure, just don’t forget to invite Josephine,” Ethan reminded him. Atticus nodded and bowed as he replied, “Of course. Josephine is our key training target. Of course, she needs to be there.”
“Great. I have some other things to attend to. Contact me tonight,” Ethan said as he stood up and left as if his visit was just a casual chat.
Yet, in the contract Ethan just signed, he committed a total of 725 million to the project. After seeing Ethan off, Atticus instantly breathed a sigh of relief as his struggling TV station finally received a new lease on life. Moreover, the projects that he had put on hold now had the funds to get started. He could finally showcase his abilities. He called his assistant over. “Call Josephine over. I want to talk to her.”
When Josephine received the call from Atticus’ assistant, she was a little puzzled.
