Filed To Story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel
Whenever she started something new, she generally preferred to finish what she started and accomplish her goals. If she was only going to play around for fun, why waste her time in the first place?
“What about him? Does he like you? Does he like you to the point where he has decided that he will only marry you and nobody else?” Heidi carefully grilled Josephine for more details. Josephine pondered for a moment and nodded once more. “I can tell that he likes me very much too.”
“Joey, in my opinion, Ethan is a good man. I believe you should give him a chance and have a long- term relationship with him.” “Yeah!” From his words, she could sense her father’s support for her relationship.
Meanwhile, Heidi sighed heavily. “I don’t have any objections either. It’s just… When I think you might marry into another family far away, I…” Her eyes reddened with emotion. That was something she could not accept. It was not that she wanted her daughter to take care of her in her old age. She simply did not want a situation where it was difficult for her to even meet with her daughter in the future.
Josephine’s mood sank at the thought, as this was something that she could not guarantee. “That’s enough. Our daughter’s happiness is the most important.”Heidi wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes. “I know, but I just can’t bear the thought of separating from her!” Josephine scooted over to her mother and hugged Heidi tightly. “Mom, I don’t want to be separated from you either!”
“You often envy others because they have grandchildren. If you won’t let Joey get married, when will you finally have grandchildren of your own?” Mills cajoled and comforted his wife. Josephine blushed furiously. It’s too early to talk about that!
Sure enough, that statement was more effective than any other consolation. Heidi was extremely envious that her best friends had grandchildren to pamper and love, so she sincerely wanted
Josephine to give her grandchildren as soon as possible.
“Alright! I will support you in pursuing your own happiness.” The conflict in her heart had been resolved. Josephine returned to her room and considered her future carefully. She hoped that she could perform her obligations of filial piety toward her parents no matter where she found herself in the future.
That night, she restlessly tossed and turned in bed. She could not fall asleep. At that moment, her phone rang. Picking up her phone, she glanced at the message. It was a message from Ethan. He had sent her a picture of himself standing in front of the mirror, freshly out of the shower.
She instantly burst into laughter. This man was highly photogenic indeed, which meant that he generally looked good from any random angle. ‘Just finished my shower. What are you doing now?’
I’m about to take a shower,’ she replied. ‘Alright. Get some rest once you finish showering. You seemed exhausted today! The misunderstanding that occurred today had certainly drained Josephine emotionally.
‘Okay! You too, she responded. On the other end, in the hotel, Ethan smiled and tossed his phone to the side. A few moments later, he suddenly received a phone call.
Picking up his phone, he glanced at the screen and frowned slightly. In the end, he did not answer the call.
That was because the person contacting him was a woman. Moreover, she was his admirer who was trying to court him romantically. Then, he received a message.
‘Ethan, where are you? I missed you so much!’
On a small island in a different country, a female model who had just finished swimming picked up her phone to check her messages. When she saw that she had not received any new messages, she chewed on her cherry lips and wondered, ‘Ethan, where are you?”
She had just received news from the Quarles Family that Ethan had asked his family for half a year’s vacation, and she wanted to know where he was hiding. With half a year’s vacation, it was enough time for her to enjoy life with him.
“I will definitely find you,” she muttered to herself under her breath. Josephine arrived at the TV station early in the morning for work. At the same time, she abruptly received a phone call. It was from Dane Cooke, the vice president of the building materials company from before.
“Mr. Cooke, can I visit you at your company for an interview?” After she heard the interview location he provided, she tried to give a different suggestion instead.
“Miss Jacobson, I am very busy. Seeing as you are the one who wants to interview me, don’t you think you should be following my schedule?” Dane sounded very displeased on the other end of the line. Thus, she could only comply with his initial suggestion.
“Alright, then. I’ll see you at 3.00PM sharp today.”
“Miss Jacobson, I know the public has many misunderstandings about the company. Hence, I would like to take this opportunity to have a good chat with you. As long as it is the company’s responsibility, the company will not evade taking responsibility for the issue,” he added.
Unfortunately, she did not believe his words. All businessmen were unscrupulous in their pursuit of profit. Although they would always. speak about placing great importance on protecting the environment and ecology, the truth was that they also carried out many shady and black-hearted operations in secret.
Therefore, she intended to expose the inside story of this industry to provide a warning and reminder to the local Environmental Protection. Bureau, After ending the phone call, she quickly received another call on the internal line. “Josephine, come to my office at 10.00AM sharp for an interview.”
The person on the other end of the phone was none other than Tori, who had decided upon Josephine’s interview in advance. “Miss Alford, wasn’t the interview set for next Monday?”
“I’m leaving for my studies next Monday. I’ve already filed an application toMr. Kowalski so that I can bring forward your interview.”
Josephine was left speechless by the sudden. turn of events, but she could sense the malice that Tori bore toward her. By bringing forward the interview, the time she had to make preparations had effectively been shortened. drastically.
“What’s wrong? Josephine, are you unsure of yourself? If you’re not confident in your abilities, then I suggest you just forget about the interview! You’re not bad at your job as a reporter, so you should just carry on in your current position!” Tori’s mocking voice came from the other end of the line.
“I have confidence in my abilities. I’ll head over. right away. Naturally, Josephine had no plans. to back down from the challenge. It was fortunate that she had made some preparations in advance over the past two days.
After eavesdropping on Josephine’s phone call from the side, Wren leaned over with an astonished expression and asked, “Joey, are you going to be interviewed so soon?” “Yeah. The interview has been brought forward.”
“Good luck! I’m looking forward to the day when I see you in the broadcasting studio.”
Josephine packed up some documents before. she headed upstairs. Tori’s office was located on the sixth floor, which was the most important floor in the entire company. It was where the evening news and important programs were broadcasted every day. All the people who worked on this floor carried a sense of superiority in the company.
Nevertheless, Josephine found herself on the receiving end of many envious looks when she walked into the office. She headed straight for Tori’s office and knocked on the door.
Tori was sitting at her desk and flipping through a document with a leisurely appearance. Seeing Josephine walking into her office, she smiled slightly. “There you are.”
Then, she stood up and walked over to the couch. Pointing at the seat on the opposite side, she invited Josephine to join her. “Have a seat!”
Josephine took the seat across from Tori, and the latter took out the list of questions that she had prepared for the interview. “I prepared ten questions for your interview. If you answer each question listed here to my satisfaction, then you will have passed my test.”
Josephine nodded in agreement as she stated, “Okay. Please go ahead and ask your questions, Miss Alford.” “It seems that you are very confident in yourself!” Tori looked up from the document and glanced at Josephine. “Yes, I am confident in my abilities in journalism,” Josephine replied.
“Hmph! Don’t be overconfident. Besides, you shouldn’t have too high hopes. After all, a person who worked as a reporter for the past three years like you must have forgotten all your past three years like you must have forgotten all your learned knowledge by now” Tori declared in a tone that sounded faintly insulting.
After Tori finished speaking, she brought up the first question in the book. Josephine pondered for a few seconds before she answered based on the information in the book and her own comprehension of the situation.
Tori frowned slightly after listening to the answer. She did not expect Josephine to answer her questions correctly. In fact, she could barely believe that Josephine had such a deep understanding of the learned knowledge in the book. She pressed on with the second question.
Once again, Josephine provided a satisfactory answer. Tori glanced at the questionnaire in her hand. Half of the questions were questions based on textbook knowledge. It would seem that she could no longer rely on the questions she had prepared in advance. She had to come up with harder questions instead. Therefore, she began to start asking the questions at the bottom of her list. “Josephine, what qualities should a journalist possess?”
Josephine considered the question for a moment. It was an extremely broad question, so it was impossible to provide a comprehensive answer in just a few words. “In my opinion, a journalist should possess the following qualities-first, they should uphold proper decorum and a firm stance in any situation. Second, they should report the situation truthfully and comprehensively without any falsehoods. Third, they should have a good understanding of the overall situation and maintain a sense of responsibility. By modeling the correct example themselves, they can-”
“Stop!” Tori immediately interrupted Josephine mid-sentence and sneered, “Do you only know how to answer with cursory knowledge gained from books? Don’t you have your own opinions regarding the matter? Josephine, you can’t become a broadcaster simply by relying on rote memorization.”
Josephine fell silent. It was obvious that Tori was deliberately making things difficult for her. These were the correct and standard answers to the question that was asked, but Tori was intentionally asking for her personal opinion on the matter instead. “These are the qualities that I need to achieve, as well as my personal opinion regarding this matter,” she answered calmly.
“Josephine, it seems to me that your knowledge is too shallow. Why don’t you train for another two years in the press department before trying again in the future?” Tori pushed the questionnaire to the side. The tone of her voice gave off the sense that the interview had ended.
“Miss Alford, I know that I did not perform well enough for your standards. Nevertheless, I hope I can be given the chance to prove myself at the job,” Josephine commented.
“If I allow you to pass so easily, it will be my fault if you somehow damage the image of the company’s broadcasters and destroy the company’s reputation. So, I will be firm in my role as the interviewer. Josephine, I do not believe you qualify to become a broadcaster.”
Josephine took a deep breath and pleaded, “Miss Alford, it is only natural to make mistakes. If I remember correctly, you yourself often made mistakes when you were just a newcomer. Everybody goes through a process of maturation, so please don’t make things difficult for me.”
Tori’s expression darkened at those words. “Josephine, are you trying to compare yourself to me?” “That was not my intention. I am simply asking that you give me a chance to prove myself on the job. I am certain I will perform well,” Josephine explained patiently.
