However, her volunteering only earned her a glare from Atticus. In the end, Josephine had no choice but to take the seat next to the main seat. As soon as she sat down, the vice presidents couldn’t help but cast admiring glances at her. With a pendant lamp shining on her, it made her fair and beautiful skin even more attractive.
On the other hand, Katrina secretly resented and glared at Josephine. At the same time, she wondered, Why does Atticus arrange the seats in such a way that gives
Josephine the chance to get close to Mr. Quarles? Shouldn’t he be prioritizing me, his family member?
After a while, the door to the private room opened. Ethan walked in wearing a black shirt and vest, with a limited edition watch on his wrist, emitting a cool luster. His innate elegance exuded exceptional nobility.
He’s here. Josephine’s heart couldn’t help but beat faster, while Katrina was excitedly covering her mouth. She couldn’t believe how sexy and wild Ethan looked at night.
He’s so hot!
The moment he came in, his gaze immediately landed on the charming figure sitting under the light beside the main seat. Josephine just happened to look up, and their eyes met. Right then, she stood up with everyone else to greet him.
“Welcome, Mr. Quarles. Please have a seat,” Atticus greeted him. With a nod, Ethan sat at the main seat. After sitting down, his gaze fell on Josephine, and he greeted her, “Good evening, Miss Jacobson.” “Good evening, Mr. Quarles.” Josephine also smiled. It’s great that he has become my boss now.
“Mr. Quarles, let me introduce you to the management team of our station,” Atticus said, introducing each person one by one and finally introducing Katrina. “This is our company’s senior secretary, Katrina Sullivan.”
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Quarles,” Katrina greeted him with her most charming smile.
Ethan just nodded in acknowledgment, and then it was time to order. Unexpectedly,
Atticus handed the task of ordering to Josephine. “Josephine, you order.”
Hearing that, she reluctantly took over the menu, but she really didn’t know what to order. She had no idea about anyone’s taste at the table, so she asked Ethan, “Do you have any particular dishes in mind, Mr. Quarles?”
With a smile, Ethan replied, “You can order whatever you like, Miss Jacobson. I’m fine with anything. This sentence gave her a lot of freedom, allowing her to order whatever she wanted. In other words, he had no objections, so no one else was allowed to have objections.
At this moment, her face started blushing and burning a little. Looking at the menu, she just ordered the expensive dishes. After all, Atticus would be paying for it.
Meanwhile, Katrina felt that something was not quite right. It seems like Josephine knew Mr. Quarles before this. They look like old friends from the way they look at each other.
However, Katrina had to remember one thing- Peter’s status. Hence, it was expected that he would be acquainted with Ethan. Does that mean Ethan likes Josephine? As
Katrina thought about it, her hatred for Josephine grew.
After Josephine had ordered the food, the director ordered some wine, while Atticus was in charge to liven up the mood. As Atticus was telling Ethan about how the project would progress, Ethan was zoning out. He looked like he was not interested in any of the projects Atticus mentioned.
Josephine was sitting beside him and noticed his mood. It seems like Mr. Kowalski is talking to himself! As she thought about it, she changed her sitting position. Then, she noticed that she had sat on her dress. Just as she stretched her legs, she felt that she had kicked something. At that moment, her mind went blank when she realized it didn’t feel like the table’s legs. What did I just kick?
In that split second, Ethan looked at her with a thoughtful expression. When
Josephine met his gaze, her face turned red since she realized she had accidentally kicked his legs!
Josephine bit her lips and smiled awkwardly at him. On the other hand, Ethan raised his wine glass and winked at her, indicating that it was fine.
Everyone saw their sweet interaction and knew Ethan was uninterested in hearing the proposal. Instead, he had his eyes on Josephine! Katrina also saw their interactions.
She clenched her fists under the table and thought, As expected, she is trying to seduce Ethan.
“Hurry up and give a toast to Mr. Quarles, Josephine,” said the director. “A toast to you, Mr. Quarles.” Josephine raised her glass toward Ethan.
Ethan also raised his glass and bumped it against hers. Just as Josephine was about to take a small sip, the vice director, Damien Posh, quickly said, “That’s not right,
Josephine. You can’t just take a small sip when Mr. Quarles has such a high status.”
Does that mean I have to drink it all? I’m not a heavy drinker, though! thought
Josephine. Then, she looked at Ethan. I’m sure he will get me out of this mess.
However, Ethan didn’t say anything and was waiting for her to do as Damien said!
She could tell that he was in for a show.
Although Josephine felt helpless, she still smiled and said, “Well then, I guess I have to do it.” Then, she drank the alcohol in one shot. Fortunately, the alcohol didn’t taste bad, or else she would have thrown up. What is wrong with him? I thought we were good friends, yet he didn’t help me! Fine then. I guess I thought too highly of our relationship, she thought grumpily.
When the food arrived, Josephine started to imitate how people at social intercourse would do. She was telling Ethan to eat while getting up and pouring him some alcohol, seemingly as if she was trying to get him drunk.
She sure knows how to bear a grudge. Ethan smiled inwardly.
On the other hand, Katrina could only watch as Josephine entertained Ethan while she sat in the dark corner. Since it was a rectangular table, she couldn’t do anything but just sit there.
Josephine didn’t eat much, but she had had three glasses of wine. At that moment, she was upset. After all, Ethan didn’t care for her. I might as well just drink to my death, she thought.
Just as she was going to have the fourth glass, Ethan finally made a move. He reached out and stopped her. “That’s enough. You have too much alcohol tonight,” he said.
Josephine was slightly drunk. Hence, she was bolder. When she heard his words, she smiled. The lights made her look like a goddess with that beautiful smile of hers. “This won’t do, Mr. Quarles. After all, you are my boss, so I have to satisfy you! Here’s another toast to you!” As she spoke, she raised her glass toward him.
On the other hand, Atticus was dumbfounded by her actions. It seems like Josephine is drunk. It would be bad if she offended Mr. Quarles with her slurs. Thinking about it, he stood up and said to Katrina, “Kat, come here and help Josephine to the car. It seems that she is drunk.”
“I’m not drunk, Mr. Kowalski. I’m still clear in my head!” replied Josephine. She didn’t think she was drunk. Other than feeling wobbly, she felt amazing.
When Katrina heard Atticus’ words, she stood up unwillingly. However, as soon as she realized she could take Josephine’s place and sit beside Ethan, she was happy again.
Thus, she walked toward Josephine and said, “Let’s get some rest, Josephine. Come on!”However, Josephine knew what Katrina had in mind. She curved her lips and wiggled her index finger toward Katrina. “I’m not going, Katrina. I want to stay here and accompany Mr. Quarles!”
Ethan’s eyes widened when he heard her words. I never expected her to be so clingy, he thought. “You’re drunk, Josephine. I think it’s best if you get some rest!” Katrina said while secretly gritting her teeth. Josephine must have wanted to seduce Mr.
Quarles while drunk. I won’t let this happen.
Josephine was persistent and sat on her spot. “I’m not drunk. I still haven’t eaten yet, and I’m hungry! No one is going to make me leave!” Atticus didn’t expect Josephine would act in such a way when she was drunk. If we don’t get her out of here any sooner, she will make a fool of herself, he thought. Suddenly, Ethan couldn’t help but chuckle. Then, he looked at Katrina and said, “I’ll take her to rest.”
Katrina was shocked and quickly waved him off. “There’s no need for that, Mr.
Quarles. I’ll take her away immediately.” Then, she used all her might to pull
Josephine upwards. When Josephine was dragged away from her seat, an arm wrapped around her gently, pushing Katrina away.
“I’ll send her home. Enjoy your meal,” said Ethan. Without waiting for the others to respond, he took Josephine out of the room. However, Josephine was going against him. “Let go of me, Ethan. I’m not leaving with you!”
