The rest of the female colleagues watched her flirtatious gestures with a mixture of scorn and derision. Be that as it may, Katrina brazenly. continued to flaunt her coquettish charm.
After delivering the documents, Josephine. rounded the corner and immediately caught sight of Katrina standing next to Ethan. She couldn’t help feeling extremely disgusted by Katrina’s aggressive courtship toward Ethan. Approaching her desk, she questioned, ‘Can I help you?”
“Ohl! You’re back! I just noticed that I brought the wrong document.” The document that Katrina was holding had been randomly taken. from one of their colleagues’ desks. Naturally, she could not show nor hand them over to Josephine.
Josephine immediately saw through Katrina’s little trick and smiled. “Why don’t you show me the document?” Katrina hastily hugged the document to her chest and guiltily burst out, “I grabbed the wrong document by mistake!”
“Did you grab the wrong document? Or were you deliberately being inappropriate in front of my boyfriend? Did you think I wouldn’t see through your schemes?” Josephine countered without giving Katrina any room to wriggle out of the situation.
“W-What are you saying?” Katrina blushed. furiously, feeling so guilty that she did not dare. to look at Ethan.
“What am I saying? I’m saying that you should stop sticking to my boyfriend like an annoying fly that won’t go away!” Josephine declared forcefully.
‘Josephine, how can you insult me in such a manner? Mr. Quarles, please ask her to mind. her manners!” Katrina immediately lodged her grievances to Ethan in hopes of showing him Josephine’s disgraceful side. Ethan raised his eyes at those words.
“Josephine is right.”
When Katrina heard that, she blushed so hard that even the tips of her ears went red. On the other hand, Josephine took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire. “Katrina, you told me that my boyfriend invited Tori out for dinner. You also claimed that there was an ambiguous atmosphere between them in the restaurant. Did you witness the scene yourself, or were you simply repeating the nonsensical gossip you heard from others?” His handsome face revealed his astonishment.
“Who said that?”
Katrina immediately panicked. Waving her hands in denial, she quickly explained herself. “Josephine, I was just repeating the gossip I heard from others. I don’t know anything. Please don’t blame me!” Ethan abruptly turned to glare at Katrina with at frigid look in his eyes. “What the hell are you talking about?”
“No, no… Mr. Quarles, I simply repeated the nonsensical gossip I heard from others. I’m sorry. I’m so very sorry!” Katrina anxiously apologized repeatedly.
“That is to say, the meal he shared with Tori was just a normal interaction between employer and employee!” Josephine asserted. However, her gaze drifted toward a certain. man. She was hoping that he could explain the incident.
Ethan quickly explained, ‘Joey, I did go to the restaurant that day, but I was planning to have lunch with you! I left immediately when I saw that you weren’t there. Afterward, I went to the place where you were holding an interview to have lunch with you! Do you remember that day?”
His response stunned her. “I do!” “That’s right! Atticus invited me out for lunch. That day. He claimed that he had business to discuss with me, so I asked him to bring you along. However, only a female employee was waiting at the restaurant when I arrived. That’s why I went looking for you instead.”
Katrina couldn’t help swallowing nervously. What? Is Miss Alford just a female employee in Mr. Quarles’ eyes? Doesn’t he know that she is the number one idol of the TV station?
“I see.” Josephine curved her lips into a smile and turned to Katrina. “Did you hear that? My boyfriend himself has clarified the matter. In the future, please stop spreading such malicious gossip lest you destroy his reputation.”
At this point, Katrina’s complexion had. practically turned blue from fright. She frantically waved her hands and apologized. “I won’t! I really won’t! I will never listen to such nonsensical gossip again. I’m very sorry, Mr. Quarles. I was in the wrong.” Ethan cast a grim look at her. “Leave!”
Katrina immediately slipped away as though. she was fleeing for her life. The other employees who had gathered around to watch. the show could also tell that Ethan was in a terrible mood at the moment, so they hastily clocked out of work and left the office without delay.
Hence, they did not see the man’s expression. softening instantly when Josephine reached out to hold his hand. “It’s fine. I didn’t misunderstand you either.”
Josephine smiled brightly. She finally understood the whole situation now. Now that she had gotten to the bottom of the matter, she felt extremely relieved.
Nevertheless, Ethan’s gaze remained worried as he walked out of the company while holding her hand. When they entered the car, he immediately leaned over and looked into her eyes with a profound yet burning gaze. ‘Do you need me to explain further?”
Josephine shook her head with a smile. “There’s no need.” In her opinion, he had not only been wronged but also falsely accused by her for no reason. Ethan finally stepped on the accelerator. The sports car drove toward the villa that was just handed over to him.
The villa was one of the few bungalow villas located in the city center. It was very rare to have a villa with an exclusive courtyard of 500 square meters in the city center, where every inch of land was expensive. Hence, the price of the villa was naturally astronomical.
Josephine was amazed by the luxurious layout of the villa. There were eight
European-style Roman columns decorating the front of the villa, which gave off an imperious atmosphere. Although they seemed fairly ancient, they were very well maintained. When she walked into the hall, she was greeted by the sight of a spacious hall with a soaring ceiling of six meters.
The crystal chandelier hanging down from the ceiling and the large floor-to-ceiling windows tempted her to take a nap on the couch. It was the perfect spot to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning sun or admire the lights outside the window while leisurely working on an article she brought home from work.. On a weekday night, she could even cook a scrumptious feast, open a bottle of wine, and put on a song to enjoy a relaxing drink with Ethan after a grueling day at work. That also seemed like a pretty good choice!
“Do you like it?” the man behind her asked with a smile. She turned around and exclaimed, “I love it!” There was no denying that she truly enjoyed these types of villas that had their own unique atmosphere. Therefore, she did not conceal her feelings and openly declared that she loved everything about the villa.
“Go upstairs and have a look.” Ethan took her upstairs, happy to see how much she adored the villa. It happened to be evening at the moment, so the glow of the sunset reflecting against the glass windows bathed the entire villa in warm colors.
Josephine and Ethan explored the second floor together. They eventually came to the master bedroom on the third floor. It was definitely the most luxurious master bedroom Josephine had. ever seen in her life. Even the bathroom was bigger than her bedroom at home.
“In the future, we will be living here together. Just the two of us.” At that, he glanced over at her with a burning gaze. Josephine nodded shyly. “Okay! I’ll move in with you.”
Ethan couldn’t help stretching out his arm to pull her into his embrace. Sensing what he was aiming for, she cooperatively raised her head to look at him. Their gazes met.
Then, one leaned down while the other stood on tiptoes. They kissed each other gently, their movements natural.
Their kiss was so wild and passionate that Josephine could hardly control herself. Likewise, Ethan’s breathing became rough and heavy. Ever since meeting her, he had. practically become a saint. His desire was often aroused by her, only to be forcefully suppressed by him.
“In that case, I will finish the renovations quickly so that we can move in together.” He held her. hand with a look of anticipation in his eyes.
Josephine was also looking forward to that day. At the thought of them living together with him in this villa, she was certain that her future would be very wonderful indeed.
“Let’s go! I made a reservation at a restaurant for dinner. Ethan led Josephine downstairs by the hand.
After dinner, Josephine received a message from her mother asking her to return home tonight. She knew that her mother wanted to talk to her. After all, she suddenly brought a boyfriend home. The unexpected situation had thrown her parents into confusion. It was only natural for her to return home to comfort them and explain the situation to them.
Ethan drove Josephine to the entrance of her house. Just as he was about to open his car door so that he could head inside to greet Josephine’s parents, Josephine stopped him. and said, “Go back and rest. I’ll head inside by myself!” He smiled and nodded. “Okay. I’ll see your tomorrow, then.”
She waved goodbye at him. ‘Drive carefully!” After watching his car disappear into the distance, she finally turned around and went inside the house. Heidi was sitting on the couch, her posture indicating that she was. obviously waiting for Josephine’s return.
On the other hand, Mills had an apron tied around his waist as though he had just finished cleaning the house.
Josephine greeted them, suddenly feeling a little embarrassed, “Dad! Mom!” “You’re back. Come and have a seat. We need to talk, Heidi said.
Josephine sat down on the couch while Mills brought over a cup of freshly squeezed juice that he specially prepared for her. Placing the cup in front of her, he urged,
“Here, Joey. Drink this. It was freshly prepared just for you.”
“Dad, why don’t you take a break? Come take a seat and join us for a chat.” She persuaded her father to join them. Taking off his apron, Mills took a seat beside them.
Afterward, the small family of three began their frank discussion.
“Joey, do you genuinely have feelings for Ethan?” Heidi stared at her daughter seriously. trying to figure out whether her daughter was deeply in love with Ethan or not.
Josephine considered the question briefly: before she nodded confidently. “Yes, I like him. I’ve never had such strong feelings for another person before.” “Is that to say that you won’t marry anybody else but him? Heidi probed further.
“I like him, and I also hope to marry him in the future,” Josephine answered.
