“I know you want to take over Miss Ain’s position! You are trying to replace her! You wouldn’t even have this opportunity if Miss Ain had not fallen sick in the first place! Are you so impatient to replace her? Should I warn Miss Ain about you?” Tori deliberately threatened. When Josephine heard that, her expression also turned grim. ‘I do not harbor such thoughts.”
“I bet you do. You’re relying on your status as Mr. Quarles’ girlfriend to squeeze your way into the broadcasting industry. You’re just trying to snatch the limelight all for yourself! What an ambitious woman you are!” Tori continued harshly. Josephine was starting to feel very speechless about the situation. Tori had always been looking for any opportunity to scold and criticize her, so the interview was just another means to humiliate her.
All of a sudden, she no longer wanted to continue with the interview. Standing up from the couch, she bluntly declared, “Miss Alford, I am a busy person. I don’t have the time to listen to your insults.”
After saying that, Josephine spun around to leave without another word. Tori made a cold and sneering remark from behind. “If you’re going to act in such a manner, then I won’t be able to sign your interview form.” Josephine looked back and responded in a domineering manner, “I don’t need your signature.”
Then, she left the office and slammed the door behind her. Tori couldn’t help but bite her lip angrily. What did Josephine mean? But, she indeed has the strength to pull off such a feat…
Picking up her phone, she dialed Atticus’ number. “Hello? Mr. Kowalski, I’ve interviewed Josephine. I don’t think she is suitable to become a broadcaster.”
“Tori, didn’t I tell you to interview her just for appearances’ sake?! Why are you being so serious about this matter?” Atticus asked from the other end of the line.
“Mr. Kowalski, if you are planning to force me to work with somebody like that, then I refuse to work here any longer! Tori threatened in a fit of rage. She had been hired by Atticus at a high cost, so she was confident that he had to humor her to a certain extent.
“Tori, I don’t mean to criticize you, but do you really think I call the shots in the company? So what if you refuse to work with us? With his abilities, it would not take much effort for Mr. Quarles to hire ten others who are more famous than you. You should think about the possible consequences of offending Mr. Quarles. Take this advice as a kind warning from me. After saying that, Atticus hung up.
At this moment, Tori’s expression became darker than before. She even felt a trace of panic entering her heart. If I no longer work in this company… Having offended her previous employer, she could no longer return to her former position. What’s more, there was always great competition for her current position. If she failed to dominate her position, then she would really have nowhere else to go.
A hint of resentment toward Josephine flashed through the depths of her eyes. It was Josephine who had pushed her into such a miserable predicament.
When Wren saw Josephine returning to her seat, she couldn’t help exclaiming in astonishment, “Why are you back so quickly? Is the interview over?”
“Tori was the only one to interview me, so I found the whole interview session to be a waste of my time, Josephine bluntly explained. “Why was she alone? Don’t tell me… Does she have the final say over the results of the interview?”
“Who cares? In any case, I refuse to be interviewed by her. I will ask Mr. Kowalski to arrange for somebody else to interview me instead. Having said that, Josephine turned on her computer and resumed working.
“Joey, why do you need somebody else to interview you? You could just ask Mr. Quarles to sign your interview form! Wouldn’t that solve all your problems?”
“Really?” Her eyes suddenly lit up at those words. “Of course! Which department will dare to reject you if you have Mr. Quarles’ signature on your interview form? You could join any department you like!” She gave the idea some thought for a moment. “Alright, I’ll follow your advice and ask him to sign the form for me tonight.”
“That’s the way!” Then, Wren leaned over and whispered, “Joey, considering our friendship, I hope you don’t forget about me once you’ve become part of the rich and wealthy! I’m not asking you for much. It’s enough if you add another 300 to my base salary once you become the lady boss of the company!”
Josephine burst into laughter. “What is that? If I really became the lady boss of the company, I’ll be the first to recommend you for the team leader position as soon as the position becomes vacant!”
Wren was so moved by Josephine’s declaration that she immediately threw herself at the other woman and hugged her tightly. ‘My darling Joey, I love you so much!”
At this moment, Josephine’s phone rang. She glanced at the screen and hastily answered the call. “Hello, Mr. Cooke,” ‘Miss Jacobson, please don’t forget about our interview session this afternoon! I specially made time for you, after all.”
“Of course! I will be at the clubhouse on time,” she said. After ending the call, she invited Wren out for lunch together. Since she had an interview in the afternoon, she decided against inviting Ethan out for lunch. Nevertheless, she sent him a message to inform him about her interview appointment in the afternoon.
“Okay. Be safe! Ethan replied. She responded to the message, then went to the canteen with Wren for lunch. Along the way, she received many looks from various people. Some of them even took the initiative to greet her, which made her feel very awkward and embarrassed. That was because most of them were from different departments and she did not know any of them.
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and it was soon 2.00PM. Josephine was just about to leave for the interview with her colleague when she received a phone call from one of Dane’s assistants. According to the assistant, Dane had urgent matters to deal with and could not attend the interview today. The interview could only take place the next day. In addition, the assistant invited her to the clubhouse to discuss the topics of their interview tomorrow. When Josephine heard the assistant’s voice. and realized that the assistant was female, she suggested that their meeting take place at a cafe instead. Unfortunately, the female assistant insisted on meeting at the clubhouse.
The truth was that Josephine did not like that kind of gloomy and smoky place. “There’s no helping it. I am working and can’t leave my position. Miss Jacobson, it’s best if you come over!” the female assistant insisted.
Josephine went to her team leader for instructions. Even her team leader seemed puzzled by the fact that Dane had chosen such roundabout interview procedures.
“In any case, they are a large private company. If there are any topics that they wish to avoid in advance, then we have to follow their wishes and avoid those topics so as not to reveal the secrets of their industry.” “Mr. Fox, are you saying that I should discuss the interview questions with his assistant in advance? Josephine asked.
“Joey, do you have the time? If you don’t, I’ll send somebody else over instead.” Josephine considered her options. Since she was in charge of the interview, it would undoubtedly be much easier if she went there herself. Besides, the other party was one of Dane’s female assistants. She believed that there was nothing to worry about since meeting with the female assistant would be quite safe.
“I have some time right now, so I’ll head over myself!” she said. Her team leader nodded and gave her permission to meet the female assistant. Afterward, Josephine returned to her office. Grabbing her bag and notebook, she left the office and called for a cab to bring her to the high-end clubhouse.
After Josephine walked into the clubhouse, the female assistant immediately came down in person to receive her. Then, the female. assistant guided her to a private room on the third floor. There was no desk for work in the private room. She took a seat, and the female assistant served her a cup of tea. “Miss Jacobson, let’s begin!”
Josephine nodded in agreement and began discussing work with the female assistant. The female assistant started by introducing the company’s background before bringing up certain issues that required special attention. After a while, she seemed to become thirsty from talking so much and offered some tea to Josephine. ‘Miss Jacobson, have some tea!”
At the same time, she picked up her own cup to drink some tea. Josephine had also gotten. thirsty after traveling so far, so she picked up her teacup and drank the tea without hesitation. She was so thirsty that she finished half the cup in a single gulp.
“Miss Jacobson, I’ll get you some more tea once you’ve finished your cup.” The female assistant urged and stood up, looking as though she wanted to refill their cups. Josephine picked up her cup and finished the rest of her tea, then she handed her cup to the female assistant.
When the female assistant turned around, the hint of a triumphant smile appeared in her gaze. The truth was that she had not invited Josephine to the clubhouse to discuss work.
Everything was simply part of Dane’s evil scheme. He had taken a fancy to Josephine and wanted to take advantage of her. That was why he had made these arrangements. As long as she finished that cup of tea, she would be vulnerable to his advances.
Afterward, he could just settle the matter with money and sweep everything under the rug. That was his usual method to deal with beautiful women, and he believed that Josephine would also keep quiet after the incident.
When the female assistant came back with a glass of water in her hand, she answered her phone in front of Josephine. “What? Are you coming over now, Mr. Cooke? Okay. Alright. Yes, Miss Jacobson is still here. We are discussing work matters.”
After ending the call, she turned to Josephine and stated, “Miss Jacobson, Mr. Cooke is coming over soon. Please wait for a while.” Josephine frowned and answered, ‘In that case, I will ask my colleague to join me. We can finish the interview today.”
“No, no. Mr. Cooke is only coming over to take some documents, the female assistant hastily elaborated. “Take a seat! I need to go downstairs to settle some work matters.”
Then, she left the room. Meanwhile, Josephine couldn’t help but feel so hot that she stood up from the heat. She came to stand before the floor-to-ceiling windows and enjoyed the cold air coming from the air- conditioning. Why is my body burning up all of at sudden?
She fanned her face with her hand, thinking that the weather was far too hot. It’s only March! Why is it so hot?
She was generally more sensitive to subtle changes. The same also applied to her own body, so she brushed away her doubts without much concern. Feeling slightly bored, she picked up her phone and sent a message to Ethan. ‘What are you doing?”
‘At the house, monitoring the renovations, Ethan responded quickly. His reply instantly filled her heart with a sweet sense of happiness. For some reason, she suddenly missed him very much. The images of his body that she occasionally saw by accident also popped up in her mind unprompted, causing her entire body to burn even hotter. At this moment, her phone rang. It was a phone call from Ethan.
“Hi!” Josephine answered the phone. “Did you miss me?” The low and hoarse voice was very seductive and captivating. When she heard Ethan’s voice, a strange and unfamiliar wave of arousal immediately flooded her body. She instinctively realized that something was wrong.
Her body had become aroused for no particular reason. She inadvertently glanced at the cup of water on the table and her eyes contracted in horror. Was there something in the tea earlier?
The realization struck her abruptly-the female assistant was nowhere to be seen, and Dane was coming over soon. In truth, Josephine was not a fool. She had noticed Dane’s interest and feelings for her, but she never expected him to use such malicious and underhanded methods to harm her.
Catching her breath slightly, Josephine said to Ethan who was on the phone, “Ethan, I-I seem to have mistakenly drunk something. Can you come and pick me up?”
“What was it? Was it alcohol or was it something else?” Ethan instantly asked in an anxious voice from the other side of the line. “It’s something else. I’m a little dizzy now.” Josephine was already feeling dizzy as she spoke.
“Send me your location. I’ll be there right away,” Ethan stated anxiously. At once, Josephine sent Ethan her location. After that, she swiftly picked up her bag and made her way toward the door.
As for the assistant who stood guard outside the door, she was shocked when she saw Josephine push the door open and walk out. Panic instantly crept in and she anxiously pulled the other woman over. “Miss Jacobson, where are you going?”
“Let go of me!” Josephine yelled angrily before she shoved the female assistant’s hand away and sprinted toward the hallway. Since the female assistant didn’t expect Josephine would sense something was wrong so quickly, she hurriedly chased after Josephine. She can’t leave! Dane is in the underground parking lot right now and he will come up shortly!
