The others were frightened and thought, Josephine is too hot-tempered! How can she be so impudent when he is our boss?! “Listen to Mr. Quarles, Josephine!” Atticus quickly reminded her. However, he could still hear her struggling. “Let go of me,
Ethan.”
“Behave now.” Ethan cooed at her. When the others heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Ethan wouldn’t be mad no matter how Josephine acted. After some time, they could vaguely hear Josephine’s voice again. “I’m not going to listen to you.”
Katrina was seeing red. She sat on Josephine’s seat, thinking, Josephine is so disrespectful to him… On second thought, I’m going to let her be! It’s best if Ethan has had enough of her petty behavior.
On the other hand, Josephine was being dragged into Ethan’s car. As she sat on the passenger seat, her mind was dizzy, and she felt light-headed. “I’m dizzy, Ethan,” she slurred.
“Do you want to go home? Or should I take you somewhere else to sober up?” As
Ethan spoke, he leaned toward her and stared at her.
“Do you have a place to let me sober up? I can’t go home like this. My mom will scold me.” Josephine remembered her mother getting upset when she got home drunk the last time. After all, she came from a strict family. Thus, it was a no-no to get drunk.
“Come with me then,” replied Ethan as he started his car. After ten minutes, they arrived at a hotel’s underground parking lot where Ethan stayed in. During the ride,
Josephine’s eyes were half-closed. When she opened them, she didn’t know where they were.
“Where are we?” she asked. Ethan opened the car door for her and said, “Come on!”
Josephine trusted him very much and obliged. However, as soon as her feet touched the ground, her knees weakened, and she quickly hugged Ethan. In that split second,
Ethan’s arms wrapped around her waist, and he looked at her. When Josephine raised her head, their faces were just inches apart. At that moment, Josephine felt her heart skip a beat. How is he so charming? Does he have to be this good- looking?
“Can you walk?” Ethan asked her with a low voice. Josephine smiled sweetly and said, “Why? Are you going to carry me up the stairs?” As soon as her words fell, Ethan took the initiative and carried her bridal style. Josephine yelped in shock and quickly wrapped her arms around him, afraid she would fall.
Her face was flushed red as Ethan carried her. It looks like I can’t tease him anymore.
He looks like he’ll give in easily, she thought. She didn’t think it would be fun if she had him wrapped around her fingers that easily.
Inside the elevator, Josephine was so embarrassed that she kept her head down.
When she smelled the fragrance from him, she couldn’t help but take a whiff. He smells nice, she thought.
Ethan could see her getting closer to him from the mirror’s reflection. What is she doing? Is she smelling me? She acts like a puppy. Finally, the elevator’s sound rang.
Ethan directly took her to his room. When Ethan put her down, she asked, “Is this your room?”
“Yes. You can stay here. I’ll take you home later,” replied Ethan. Then, he pressed the button that connected to the 180-degree curtains. As the beautiful night scenery unfolded before. Josephine’s eyes, she couldn’t help but be amazed. Her eyes widened. This is so beautiful. Ethan poured a glass of water and gave it to her. “Here.
Have some water.”
Josephine took the water and sat on the couch that was by the balcony. Although she had drunk it, her face was still burning hot. As she put down the glass, she could feel the effect of the wine. Feeling hot, she couldn’t help but tug on her shirt, and her dress curled up to her knees. When Ethan walked back into the room, he gulped when he saw her in such an alluring state. He couldn’t tell if she had done it on purpose since she had an innocent look on her face.
On the other hand, Josephine leaned her head against the couch. When she raised her head and saw Ethan, she smiled. Her smile was beautiful, seemingly like a rose, which is sweet and luscious.
Ethan quickly drank the water he was holding to suppress his desires. Then, he took the initiative to question her as he sat in front of her. “What’s the matter with you today? You drank so much alcohol when you know you aren’t a heavy drinker.”
“Why don’t you take a guess?” Josephine tilted her head and looked at him. “Are you unhappy?”
“Say, are we friends, Mr. Quarles?” “Of course we are!” Ethan cocked his eyebrow. “If you are my friend, don’t ask this question,” replied Josephine as she propped her chin.
Ethan was startled by her words and thought, She sure is hard to guess, but it’s fun.
At this moment, Josephine’s phone rang. When she picked it up and saw the caller’s
ID, she mumbled, “Luke? Why is he calling me?”
At that moment, Ethan was unhappy. “Don’t answer it.” It was too late. Josephine had already answered the call. “Hello! Is something the matter, Luke?”
“Will you go to work tomorrow, Josephine?”
“Yeah!” “Alright. I have a surprise gift for you tomorrow.” “I won’t keep it, so don’t send me any gift.” “I made it just for you. Please take it for my sake!”
“I..” Before Josephine could say anything, Luke hung up the call. Josephine was speechless as she put her phone aside and rubbed her temple. “I’m dizzy. Can I lie down for a moment?”
“Go ahead!” Ethan replied. As Josephine lay on the bed, she didn’t notice that the collar of her shirt had slipped. From Ethan’s view, he could see the inside of her clothes. Initially, he was embarrassed and averted his gaze. However, something seemed to lure him in, and he couldn’t help but stare at her.
After some time, Josephine had fallen asleep. It seemed like her default mode when being drunk was sleep mode. “Josephine,” Ethan called her softly.
However, Josephine didn’t seem to react. Ethan grabbed a blanket and draped it across her. As he knelt on the carpet and looked at her beautiful face, he would be lying if he said he had nothing on his mind. Any man would want to take advantage of Josephine’s vulnerability. and Ethan was no exception.
Looking at her, he thought, I’m sure she won’t notice if I secretly kiss her. Then, he decided to take action! Just as Ethan leaned down and was just inches away from Josephine’s face, he saw her open her eyes and look at him.
“What are you doing?” she asked. Josephine was a light sleeper. When Ethan draped the blanket on her, she was waking up. When she opened her eyes, she saw that Ethan’s face was close to her.
“I…” Ethan had never felt so embarrassed in his life. However, Josephine knew what he was trying to do. At that moment, she blinked her eyes and asked, ‘Are you trying to kiss me?”
“Can I?” Ethan squinted his eyes and asked. Looking at his handsome face, Josephine replied without hesitation, “Well, it will be a waste if I let go of this opportunity.”
When Ethan heard her words, he was stunned. Before he could react, Josephine wrapped her arms around him and kissed him first. Her actions startled Ethan since he had never expected her to be so bold. Meanwhile, Josephine had been dying to kiss him since they kissed on the cruise ship. From that day onward, she had been reminiscing about the kiss. Truthfully, she knew what she was getting into when she entered his room. She wasn’t an innocent girl anymore. After all, she had never allowed Luke to hold her hands, even when he had courted her for over a year. Yet, she allowed Ethan to be alone with her because she also had feelings for him.
As the saying went, “Hunters often appear as prey.” Josephine was the representative of this quote. As the duo kissed inseparably on the couch, Ethan grabbed the back of her head and deepened the kiss. Suddenly, Josephine’s phone rang. After the call had died down, it rang again, seemingly as if the caller was persistent in getting Josephine to answer.
Ethan pulled apart from Josephine and panted. Then, he leaned his forehead against her and asked, “We can continue after you answer the call?”
Josephine was also panting. Never had she expected that a kiss would make her breathless. When she looked at the caller ID, her mind went clear instantly. Then, she looked at the time and saw that it was 9.30PM.
Oh my! What a pity that it is already this late! As she thought about it, she took a deep breath and redialed the number. “Hey, Mom. I’m heading home right now,” she said casually.
“You have to be home by 10.00PM. You’re making me worry! There was just news about a woman getting murdered late at night,” said Heidi.
“Alright, Mom. I’m safe. I’m coming back.” Josephine promised. After that, she hung up the phone and looked at Ethan, who was reluctant. “I have to head home.”
Then, she was going to get up. However, Ethan pulled her into his embrace without hesitation and kissed her again. “Give me a few more minutes,” he said in a raspy tone.
Hearing his words, Josephine could feel her heart beating rapidly. She had to admit that Ethan looked goddamn sexy when he was being dominant.
