“I think they met during the wedding held by the Presgrave Group. I am not sure about the exact details, but Mr. Quarles came to Averna after the wedding because of her. He also bought a villa for her to reside.”
It would have been better if she had not asked any questions. After asking those questions, she felt a wave of injustice and rage surging within her. She had courted Ethan for so long, but a woman Ethan just met had quickly gotten ahead of her. Who could accept such a thing?
At the very least, she could not accept such humiliation. Even if she could not obtain Ethan, she refused to let Josephine have him. Just the thought of them being together enraged her too much.
Ever since she was a child, she had never allowed anybody to obtain what she could not have. The same rules applied when it came to men. There had been no women by Ethan’s side previously, so she had not felt very disturbed. However, there was now a woman by his side. She suddenly felt as though she had a goal to achieve. For her, driving away the women beside Ethan would give her a great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction..
In any case, she would never let such an ordinary woman obtain a man like Ethan. Josephine was simply not worthy of Ethan. That night, Josephine finished the dinner that. Ethan prepared for her and happily washed the dishes with him. Afterward, they went for an evening stroll together.
She finally arrived at the company on the morning of the third day. That was because she simply had too much work piling up on her desk. As soon as she sat down at her desk, Wren leaned over and gave her a thumbs-up. “Joey, you’re amazing. Have you seen the news today? The Vital Corp is being investigated. Thanks to your interview, the authorities have noticed certain major issues involving the company.”
She blinked in confusion. Does that have anything to do with me? On that day, she not only failed to interview Dane but also fell prey to one of his evil schemes. All she knew was that Dane had been hospitalized after receiving a beating from Ethan’s bodyguard. It would probably take him half a year to recover from his injuries. As for the rest, she remained completely ignorant.
“Really?” Josephine asked curiously. “How can you not know about this? It was the trending headline of this morning’s news! Our company has been credited for the discovery. As the person in charge of the interview, it’s only natural that the credit goes to you!”
Josephine immediately realized that Ethan must have settled the matter for her. Therefore, the credit for the investigation into Vital Corp actually belonged to him.
I can’t believe he didn’t say a word to me. She couldn’t help feeling slightly resentful. At that moment, Mr. Fox walked over with a capable and experienced woman behind him. Josephine, come here. This person will be your successor, so please hand over your current tasks to her.”
Josephine was thrown into confusion once more. It has only been the third day since I was absent from work. Why does the company already have a successor for my position?
“Hello, Miss Jacobson. I am the newly hired employee, Esther Fleming. I look forward to working with you.” The woman had clearly been poached from another company. “Hello, Esther. Hang on, I’ll grab you a chair.” Josephine gave Esther a warm welcome.
Josephine’s reaction stunned Esther. When Esther was in the restroom earlier, she heard the news that Josephine was the future female boss of the company. Hence, she had been worried that Josephine would be difficult to approach. She did not expect Josephine to be so friendly. Mr. Fox immediately said to Josephine, “Have a seat, Joey. I’ll find a chair for her.”
“Thank you very much, Mr. Fox!” Josephine smiled. The truth was that he was eager to curry favor with her. He never imagined that her future. would change so drastically in less than a month.
She had gone from an unknown reporter to the lady boss of a large company in the blink of an eye. Meanwhile, he only managed to become the team leader after working hard for so many years. Sigh! That’s just life! The world is never equal after all.
Afterward, Josephine started transferring her work to Esther. It was fortunate that Esther was experienced in their profession, so she learned the ropes quickly. She even took the opportunity to settle some matters. In the meantime, Josephine and Wren chatted with each other in the pantry.
Wren and Josephine were good colleagues at work and good friends in private. Wren was the only one with whom Josephine could have heart-to-heart conversations in the office. “Joey, congratulations! You’ll have to tell me as soon as you have a wedding date!”
Josephine couldn’t help but smile. As she said before, her fate hadn’t been written yet! It was still too early to say anything. But now, she was looking forward to the day. “Okay! I promise I won’t forget you. After all, I have your wedding gift to look forward to.” Josephine laughed.
Wren immediately rolled her eyes. “Madam. President, how dare you ask for a wedding gift? You won’t be able to count how much money you’ll have by then!” Josephine chuckled. ‘Who would even bother to count?!”
“That’s right! From now on, money will just be at number to you, and 99 percent of your troubles will be gone from then on,” Wren said. Then, the two ladies had another laugh before standing up.
At this moment, a woman was sitting in a black SUV parked in front of the office. It was none other than Jenna. She looked at the office building and asked Jack, ‘She’s working here?” “Yes! I’ve been here with Mr. Quarles.”
Jenna decided to have a proper chat with Josephine today. She wanted to let Josephine know how great of a person Ethan was so that Josephine would be too ashamed to stick around him. Either that or she was going to give Josephine a sum of money to leave him.
Jenna assumed that the female employees here must be short of money, and she could easily buy them off with just 10 million. With that in mind, she pushed the door open.
and got out of the car. “Wait for me here; I’ll be right back.” She slowly walked into the building and headed to the receptionist to ask, “Where can I find Josephine Jacobson?”
“Josephine is in the reporter’s office on the eighth floor.” The receptionist exchanged glances with her colleague before answering. her. This woman has an exotic vibe to her. She looks so beautiful! I think she’s of mixed race!
Upon hearing that, Jenna went straight to the eighth floor. She winked at the first male employee she saw. ‘Hey, I’m looking for Josephine. Where is she?”
The male employee was almost giddy with joy and quickly got up to lead her to Josephine’s desk himself. Josephine was handing over her work to Esther when she heard a voice. Looking up, she was startled to see Jenna standing behind her male colleague.
She did not expect Jenna to find out where she worked and even show up in her office. “Miss Langley, is something the matter?” Josephine immediately got up and asked.
“Let’s talk,” Jenna ordered while lifting her chin haughtily. Josephine pointed at the pantry. “There’s no one there right now, so let’s talk over there!”
It was working hours, so not many people were in the pantry. Jenna found a seat and sat down with her arms crossed, her legs one over the other. “What does it take for you to leave Ethan?”
Josephine had expected Jenna to ask these questions. She shook her head and said, “I’m not going to leave him.” “Do you like him or his money?”
“Both,” Josephine responded directly with an indifferent voice. Jenna sneered in her mind. She knew that the woman before her was only interested in Ethan’s money.
“It seems like you’re avaricious. If I tell you that you can’t marry into the Quarles Family, will you believe me?” “Can you speak on behalf of the Quarles Family? Josephine retorted.
Jenna couldn’t help but choke on her words. “I know the Quarles Family well. They would never find someone like you to be married into their family. At the very least, they would find someone reputable to be their daughter-in-law!”
However, Josephine wasn’t affected by Jenna’s words as she calmly replied, “Miss Langley, then let me advise you as well. You’re so young and beautiful. You can get anyone from any family if you want. Ethan already has someone in mind. Please don’t bother him anymore.”
Jenna’s face darkened when she heard this. “You have no right to tell me to leave him.” “I’m doing this for your own good lest you waste any more time on him.” Josephine raised her eyebrows.
“Hmph! Are you pitying me? You have no idea about my relationship with Ethan. We’re childhood sweethearts!” Jenna said coldly.
“Yet Ethan told me he only sees you as a younger sister. If he really likes you, he will start to notice you more after you come of age. If he doesn’t like you, even if you bother him for the rest of his life, he will never have feelings for you, Josephine persuaded her calmly. “You” Jenna was furious, for Josephine’s words were really hurting her ego..
“If you won’t take my word for it, Miss Langley, there’s nothing else I can do. If you’re trying to convince me to leave Ethan, you’ll just be wasting your breath, Josephine said coldly. “Hmph! Do you really think you can handle a man like Ethan?”
“You don’t have to instill doubt in my mind. We love each other. On the other hand, people like you with no one to love should be the ones worrying!” Josephine said with finality in her. tone. “Well, I still have a job to do. I won’t be seeing you off.”
“Josephine, stop right there!” Jenna got up angrily and called after Josephine. With a frown, Josephine said, “If you continue to cause trouble in the office, I won’t mind getting the security guard to kick you out. This is an office. It’s not a palace for you to fool around.”
Jenna was rendered speechless from anger. She didn’t want Ethan to be alerted about this, so she ultimately picked up her bag and left. After leaving the pantry, Josephine had a feeling that Jenna had malicious intentions. It seemed like she had made the right choice to stay calm and not fall for Jenna’s tricks. She only needed to trust herself, Ethan, and their feelings for one another. She didn’t need to believe anyone else.
Josephine received a call from Atticus at 3.00PM, asking her to head up. Thinking it was about work, she headed up with no second thoughts. Just as she got into the elevator, she ran into Tori. When she noticed that Tori was also going to the twelfth floor, she suddenly understood what was going on.
“Josephine, congratulations! Miss Ain’s position is yours now!” Tori said in a weird tone. “Now the whole company knows that Miss Ain will be fired soon. You don’t have to worry about getting kicked out of the company anymore.”
Josephine had her heart in her mouth. It was obviously just a chance for promotion, but Tori made it sound as if Josephine had forced Ain out of the position..
“I’ve never thought of replacing Miss Ain. She needs two years to recover from her illness. I’ll just be taking over her position temporarily,” Josephine said warily.
As soon as she said that, the elevator arrived on the twelfth floor with a ding. Josephine stepped out of the elevator, and a mocking voice was immediately heard behind her.
“Haha! You mean when Miss Ain returns, you’d go back to your initial job?” Josephine responded without looking back, “We’ll just have to wait and see what the company’s arrangements are then!”
“What company arrangement? Isn’t this all your arrangement? If you say a word now, you can have any position you want,” Tori sneered. “Isn’t this company yours already?”
“Miss Alford, watch your words. Maybe I’d be interested in your position as well.” Josephine turned around as she spoke to intimidate her.
