“She’s upstairs. Let me get her for you.” Meanwhile, Josephine got dressed and went down when she heard noises. “I know why you’re here, Mr. Kowalski,” Josephine said, gazing at Atticus in the garden. “But there’s no room for negotiation. Please leave.”

“Josephine, I know that Katrina has gone overboard this time, but as long as you withdraw the charges against her, I assure you that I’ll fire her, and she’ll disappear from your life. Also, I’ll compensate you appropriately and ask her to apologize to you,’ Atticus promised..

Unfortunately, Josephine could feel her blood boiling in her veins this time as she sneered, “Mr. Kowalski, this matter has breached my bottom line and you can forget that I’ll ever settle this matter peacefully. If you have any opinions against me, then I’ll submit my resignation first thing tomorrow morning. I’ll leave the company!”

“No, Josephine. That’s not what I mean. I’m not asking you to leave. I just want to know if we can settle this matter in private. After all, we’re colleagues and I would like you to make an exception for my sake.”

“No, I will not. Not only Katrina but Tori is involved in this as well. Please ensure that Tori is also well taken care of. If she remains in the company, I’ll resign as well. I do not want to see these two as long as I continue working here,” Josephine threatened.

Atticus gulped. It didn’t matter who resigned, but that person should never be Josephine! Otherwise, Ethan would be the one asking for him to tender his resignation. “Is there really no other solution, Josephine?”

“No. There’s no other way aside from tossing her into prison. Also, my grandfather is still hale and hearty, so I won’t be allowing anyone to pull any connections to get her out of serving time,” she warned coldly.

Finally, Atticus understood her intentions and could only let Katrina pay the price for her actions. “Okay, the company will take action against Tori as well. Don’t worry and please. come back to work.”

At midnight, Tori sobbed while cleaning herself in the hotel bathtub, retching from time to time. Even if she didn’t end up in jail, the Heavens had bestowed upon her a different punishment because of what she did with Katrina.

After Ethan left the hotel, he went to the TV station. As the biggest shareholder of the station, he had a spacious and bright office that he didn’t usually use for work. Instead, he was here for fun. Right after he arrived, he checked the list of phone number extensions next to the phone. He narrowed his eyes as he carefully scanned the list until he found Josephine’s extension number and dialed it with his slender fingers.

Meanwhile, Josephine had only sat down for a few minutes after that farce of a meeting when the phone on her desk started ringing, and she instinctively picked it up. “Hello, this is the reporters’ office. How may I help you today?”

“Come to my office upstairs,” a husky male voice said. Josephine’s beautiful eyes widened a little. “Mr. Quarles?” “Yes. Eighteenth floor,” he replied. “Are you here to work?” The man showing up at the company was the last thing she expected.

“Come upstairs,” he repeated once more and hung up. Immediately, Josephine rose from her seat and sneaked toward the elevators like a thief. After she sneakily glanced around, she pressed the button for the eighteenth floor and went all the way up. The eighteenth floor was reserved for higher management, and she didn’t know which way to go. Just as she was anxiously pacing, sounds of footsteps echoed from a corner and Ethan’s gorgeous face appeared.

“This way.” He was here to pick her up. She had her head lowered as she trotted to him. Her entire demeanor made him grin in amusement. as he complained, “Why are you acting like a thief?”

“Why did you call me here?” she asked instead. After Ethan led her into his office, he closed the door, slumped back lazily on the couch, and answered, “I just want to see you.” Josephine could feel her face burning. “I’m still at work!”

“I bought a sports car for you,” he said with a raised brow. She jerked her head at him and was stunned to silence for a few seconds. Is this guy okay? Why did he buy me a sports car? “No! I can’t and won’t be accepting this gift,” she hurriedly rejected.

Alas, he tossed the problem back to her. “I’ve already placed my purchase and it will be delivered in the afternoon. What am I going to do if you won’t accept it?” She blinked as she bit her lip and tentatively. inquired, “Can you return it?”

“Nope.” ‘Then, you should’ve asked for my opinion in the first place before making such a purchase!” Isn’t this guy a little reckless? she thought in bewilderment.

‘The car will be parked at the VIP spot in the basement parking lot, and you can use it whenever you want.” Ethan had always been at rather overbearing person, so he would never take back the gift that he had specifically bought for someone else. The instant it was out of his hands, it wasn’t his problem any longer. The other party could do anything with it, except return it to him.

Although Josephine had several run-ins with overbearing people, she had never met one such as Ethan, who was completely unreasonable. ‘Return it! My car still works, and I don’t need a sports car,” she huffed as she bit her lip.

Ethan merely smirked as he shrugged. gracefully. “Oh, it’s fine. A sports car isn’t a big. deal to me. Plus, if you refuse to use it, I’ll just let it park at that spot until it’s covered in dust.”

Josephine’s eyelashes fluttered as she caught sight of his pearly whites and felt her heart. racing. This man can truly sway hearts with his smile! Just then, her phone started ringing, and she saw that it was Luke calling her. So, she hastily scrambled to the window and picked up the call. “Hi, Luke.”

‘Joey, I’ve made a reservation in a restaurant tonight. I’ll pick you up after work later,” he said over the phone. “Okay.” Since she had promised to buy him at meal, she readily agreed as she didn’t see a need to bail on him.

However, there was one thing-she had decided to make things clear to Luke that they could only ever be friends. So, he shouldn’t waste more time on her.

Still, he had been wooing her aggressively for the past year. Therefore, she reckoned that he might not give up so easily if she simply rejected him verbally. If she let him know that her heart belonged to someone else and that she already had someone she loved, he might finally cease pursuing her.

The person who can make Luke give up must be more outstanding, better looking, and richer than him, she thought, and there was only one person around her who checked all the boxes. So, she turned her attention back to the person on the couch, paced toward him, and asked, “Mr. Quarles, are you free tonight?” He arched his brows. “Yep!”

“Will you do me a favor?” she asked, her eyes. filled with utmost sincerity. “Tell me.” To her surprise, he seemed very willing. ‘I would like you to pose as my boyfriend and make Luke give up on me,” she said. After he heard that, he became excited, and a look of delight flashed in his eyes. “Okay, no problem.”

When she saw that he was so happy to help. she breathed a sigh of relief and truly hoped that Luke would come to his senses today. That way he would not waste his youth on her. “Mr. Quarles, I’ll be going back to work and will call you after work.”

“Sure, go ahead!” Ethan didn’t want to bother her at work anymore. Unfortunately, just when she returned. to her desk, a commotion started in the group chat. Someone posted some pictures they had taken at the basement parking lot. Under the lighting, an eye-catching red Ferrari with its bright, glossy paint was parked there, marveling everyone with its price. “My god, whose car is that standing in the VIP parking spot?’

“It’s so cool! I think it costs at least seven figures.’ ‘Who does it belong to? Will someone in the group tell me who this wealthy woman is?’

Wren was in on it as well, so she turned to Josephine next to her and whispered enthusiastically, “Joey, do you know whose Ferrari is that? Just look at what a commotion it is causing in the group.”

Josephine felt white noise filling her brain as she stared at that sports car displayed on the iPad in utter astonishment. Is this the car Ethan bought for me? It’s parked on the VIP spot and brand new to boot.

“I’m so envious! I wonder which wealthy man gave it as a gift. Could it belong to Tori? She has had many suitors recently, and I heard that they’re all rich businessmen.”

As Tori was a renowned host in the company, she was beautiful, talented, and also single. Thus, she was everyone’s first guess. Yet, she suddenly blurted, “It’s not mine.”

“Goodness! Whose could it be if not Tori’s?” Immediately, Wren became more interested in the topic. While Josephine was feeling her face burning in embarrassment, an assistant placed a paper bag on her desk. “Josephine, someone told me to pass this to you.”

A stunned Josephine couldn’t tell what was in the bag from the outside. When she picked it up and peered in, she could feel her scalp numbing from the shock. Just as she feared, there was a box with the Ferrari logo emblemed on it. Then, as she shakily opened the box in the paper bag, she found the car key laying silently within.

Josephine’s breath got stuck in her chest. It really was the car that Ethan bought for her! She sighed inwardly as she felt a throbbing pain. in her head. What am I going to do now? The entire office is talking about this and if I admit that it’s my car… Given everyone’s current guesses, they’ll think that I’m the mistress of some wealthy man.

“Whose car could it be?” Next to her, Wren narrowed her eyes and pondered over this like a detective. Josephine discretely slipped the bag under her desk and held her aching head in resignation.

Within a day, Josephine’s issue was completely solved while Katrina became the public’s target of verbal abuses. The Sullivan Family could barely sleep that night, especially Ivanka, who couldn’t sleep a wink at all because she was busy blaming herself. In the meantime, Katrina was in the lockup. The beautiful makeup she wore in the morning now looked utterly ghastly. She wrapped her arms around herself as she trembled pathetically. Although she was devastated, she had run out of tears of remorse to cry.

But alas, there was no cure for regret in this world, and she despised Tori to the core. If Tori hadn’t instigated her, she would have never made such a mistake. Undoubtedly, she started to resent her sister as well for devising such a foul idea. Ultimately, however, she hated her own folly even more

The next morning, Josephine showed up at work as usual. She was the target of sneers and ridicule yesterday, but some who scorned her were avoiding her like the plague today, and some even greeted her without any shame.

Their entire 180 was due to the fact that they have finally learned of her connections and how powerful her background truly was, so they were now genuinely afraid of crossing her. On the other hand, Josephine appeared as though nothing had happened as she did her makeup and memorized the script in preparation for her work

When Wren found an opportunity to approach her, she breathed a sigh of relief as she stated, “Katrina is completely rotten. I would have never thought that it was her.” “Of course, there’s another person besides her,” Josephine said. “The one who gave her the idea.

“Frankly, I have never once thought that Tori could be such a person. I just assumed that she was just a little arrogant. I could have never imagined that she’s capable of such malice.”

In all honesty, Josephine was rather happy that Katrina made such a dumb move. Because of this, she didn’t have to face the two people she hated the most on a daily basis.

Josephine’s news broadcast started, and she was completely unaffected by the scandal that had taken the company by storm. Instead, her performance was amazing, and several netizens deliberately waited to watch her news broadcast just to see how talented the framed host was. By the end of it, some of them were even smitten with her looks and professionalism and turned into her fans. In addition, her broadcast rating went up by ten points, which was an all-time high for the company

In the meantime, Tori’s news in the afternoon slot was replaced by another female host as Tori was placed under investigation and suspended without pay. Meanwhile, Katrina was given the boot and was no longer part of the company

“My god, Josephine. You’re amazing! You have no idea how people are complimenting your voice on the Internet!” “Yeah, they said you’re pretty, graceful, and have a beautiful voice!” A smile spread across Josephine’s face. ‘Really? I’ll do my best to take care of myself, then.

Just when she was about to step into the elevator, Tori suddenly dashed out from one of them. She appeared to be in a rush, but when she saw Josephine, she glared at her furiously

“You’re definitely swimming in delight now, aren’t you Josephine.” Josephine scoffed in disdain as she retorted mercilessly, “You brought this upon yourself. Why should I be delighted when I’m the victim here?
