Why did Mr. Kowalski suddenly want to talk to me? With a lot of questions in her mind, she went up to the director’s office. As soon as she entered, she saw the usually serious Atticus smiling at her and greeting her, “Hi, Josephine! Come on in.”
“Is there something you need from me, Mr. Kowalski?” “Have a sit. There’s something
I want to talk to you about.” Atticus pointed to the couch and sat himself down as well.
He looked like he had become ten years younger, and even the bald spot in the middle of his head seemed livelier. After she sat down, she couldn’t help feeling nervous. “What is it, Mr. Kowalski?”
“Well, Josephine, can you first tell me what kind of relationship you have with Mr.
Quarles?” At once, she became speechless. Why is everyone asking me this question today? Even Mr. Kowalski? What kind of relationship could I have with Ethan? Aren’t we just acquaintances? “We’re just acquaintances.” She smiled.
“Mr. Quarles is pursuing you, isn’t he?” Hearing that, her face flushed, and she quickly waved her hand. “No, no. There’s nothing like that.”
However, Atticus looked at Josephine very seriously and said, “Tell me the truth,
Josephine. Are you two dating? This is very important.” Her heart skipped a beat, and then she told the truth, “We’re really not. We’re just friends who have had a meal or two together.”
“So, Mr. Quarles is pursuing you then!” “I…I’m not sure about that.” She didn’t dare simply answer this question. If the answer was no, she would only embarrass herself.
At this moment, Atticus scrutinized her face with sharp eyes. In his eyes, she was a pretty and energetic young girl, and it was not surprising that Ethan would pursue her.
Josephine was getting uncomfortable being scrutinized by him, so she forced a smile and asked, “Mr. Kowalski, is Mr. Quarles your guest?”
“Aren’t you guys close? You should know what he’s here for.” He didn’t answer her directly. When she heard his reply, she chuckled awkwardly. “I was just asking.” “Get off work at 3.00PM later. Go home early and dress yourself up. I have a social engagement for you tonight.”
At once, her brain went blank for a few seconds. What kind of social engagement requires me to dress up? I’m just a small reporter. I don’t think I need to be there even if there is an important social engagement. After all, our company has several wellknown female anchors with good looks and figures!
“Or… you don’t have to go home. Instead, go to the dress shop next door. I’ll call them and ask them to dress you up.” “I don’t think that’s necessary, Mr. Kowalski.”
“It is necessary, absolutely necessary. You can go now.” After saying that, Atticus waved his hand to dismiss her. Perturbed, she left the office, still unable to understand why she was being asked to attend a social engagement.
Shortly after she left the office, Katrina came in and asked directly, “Atticus, who was that handsome man in the conference room with you just now?” After a chuckle, he asked, “Why? You’re interested in him?”
“I’m already at that age to marry, Atticus. Ivanka keeps asking you to introduce me to someone. Can’t you introduce that handsome man to me?” she said with a hopeful face.
Atticus looked at his sister-in-law’s face, which was quite pretty, but someone as wealthy as Ethan was out of her league. “It’s not that I don’t want to introduce him to you, Kat, but the gap between your status and that of Mr. Quarles is too great.”
“Don’t underestimate me, Atticus. Just introduce him to me.” She persisted. “Alright, here’s what I can do. We have a banquet among the high-level executives tonight, and Mr. Quarles will be there too. You can come along. That’s the most I can do. To capture his heart, you’ll have to show him what you’ve got.”
“Really? Tonight? Can I leave work early and go home to dress up?” Katrina asked quickly. “Okay, okay.” Atticus let her leave early. After Josephine returned to her desk, she continued to work absentmindedly. She looked at her phone several times, wanting to ask.
Ethan what he was doing at the company and if he would be at the dinner tonight that
Atticus had asked her to join. Could it be that Mr. Kowalski thought Ethan has feelings for me, so he wants me to be Ethan’s companion tonight? I think this is highly possible.
“What did Mr. Kowalski want with you?” Wren asked curiously. “It’s nothing. Just workrelated.” “Is he promoting you? I believe her acknowledges your abilities.”
Just then, Josephine checked the time, and it was already 4.30PM. So, she got up and said, “Wren, I have something to do. I’ll leave early today.”
She drove to a dress shop contracted by the company. As soon as she entered, a service staff greeted her and helped her with makeup. and selecting dresses. She picked a classic black mini dress that could be worn for both daily wear and dinner parties.
After staying there for a while, it was almost 5.30PM. She received a text message from Atticus with the address of a restaurant, a five- star one. Seeing that, she wondered, Will I see Ethan tonight? With that thought in mind, she left the dress shop and drove straight to the hotel.
Meanwhile, inside the hotel, Ethan also received the address sent by Atticus, along with a message saying, ‘Mr. Quarles, we’ll be waiting for you at this restaurant.
Josephine is here too. When he read the second part of the message, his eyes lit up with a strong anticipation for the night.
On the other hand, Josephine was tidying up her dress and getting into an elevator.
Just as it was about to close, someone rushed in from the opposite, and the elevator opened again. To her surprise, it was Katrina, dressed in a sexy outfit.
When Katrina saw that Josephine was also wearing a mini dress, her eyes flickered with surprise, and she asked, “Where are you going?” “To the company dinner. What about you?” Josephine asked.
Incredulously, Katrina raised an eyebrow. “You’re also invited?” Since she had been out in the afternoon and went to look for Atticus as soon as she returned to the company, she had not heard about the event of Ethan going downstairs to look for
Josephine. “Mr. Kowalski personally invited me. I didn’t want to go, but he insisted, replied Josephine.
“Hmph! Well, let me make this clear. Among the guests who will be here tonight, the tallest and most handsome man is mine, so you better not try to compete with me,”
Katrina said with a commanding look while crossing her arms in front of her chest.
Hearing that, Josephine waved her off. “I’m not interested.” When Katrina sized up
Josephine’s outfit, she couldn’t help but feel slightly nervous. Josephine usually only wore shirts and jeans. tonight, yet she exuded a flamboyant and bold beauty tonight after dressing up. That gave Katrina a sense of crisis. Mr. Quarles won’t take interest in her, will he?
The two of them arrived at the restaurant together, while Atticus had already arrived early. As he looked at the two beauties of the company, he thought, This will definitely satisfy Mr. Quarles. “Here. Come here. Your mission tonight is to make our major shareholder happy.”
“What major shareholder?” asked Katrina. “Mr. Quarles, the one you want to meet. He has invested in our company and entered as the largest shareholder.” Atticus revealed the truth. so that Josephine and Katrina could understand the situation and serve this major shareholder better. Josephine’s eyes widened in surprise, and she asked, “Are you serious, Mr. Kowalski?”
“Do I look like I’m joking? Of course, I’m serious. He will be in charge of everything in the company from now on. Your chance has come, Josephine. You have to try your best to serve him well tonight.”
At his words, Josephine’s face flushed. What does he mean by ‘serve him well?’Does he mean I have to be Ethan’s companion throughout dinner?
On the contrary, Katrina was confident. “Don’t worry, Atticus. I will definitely serve him well.” Hearing that, Josephine turned around to see Katrina’s ambitious smile and thought to herself, Does she want to sleep with Ethan?
Deep down, Josephine was still shocked. Why did Ethan invest in our company? Our company has been struggling in the TV industry for the past few years. With his investment insight, he couldn’t have targeted our company. So, the meeting that he mentioned was about this investment, which makes him suddenly our largest shareholder. In other words, he’s my big boss and immediate superior now, right?
At this thought, she felt a sense of inexplicable happiness. After all, having a familiar face in the company’s top management would be beneficial for her promotion.
Likewise, Katrina was also pleasantly surprised. I didn’t expect that handsome man to become our company’s boss, but with that, we can meet and interact with each other more often at work. Will I eventually become his wife? Just thinking about it made her so happy that she was on cloud nine. She had already started to imagine scenes of her dating Ethan at the company in the future.
At this moment, the two vice presidents and four department managers of the company had arrived, and they were ready to particularly put their focus on this major shareholder of theirs tonight.
Everyone took their seats, and just as Josephine was about to pull out the last chair to sit down, Atticus beckoned her over and said, Josephine, your seat is here.”
It turned out to be on the left side of the main seat. Seeing that, she quickly waved her hand and said, “No, it’s okay, Mr. Kowalski. I’ll just sit here.” “Come over here. This is your seat.” Atticus insisted.
“I’ll sit there then, Atticus.” Different from Josephine, Katrina rushed into sitting in that seat. The main seat must be for Mr. Quarles and sitting next to him means that I’m one step closer to my dream.
