As expected, Tori’s triumphant face turned flustered. “Josephine, do you think just anyone can take my post? You shouldn’t talk so much if you don’t want the company to go bankrupt.”
Josephine smiled calmly. “Miss Alford, are you scared?” Tori faked her confidence and said with her head held high, “I have nothing to be afraid of. Even if I don’t stay with this company, I have so many other places to go. Capable people wouldn’t be at the bottom for long.”
Josephine ignored the lady and knocked on the office door. When Atticus saw her, he greeted her with a big smile, “Josephine! We’ve made some arrangements in the company. Starting this week, we’ll train you for a week to get you accustomed to Ain’s position.”
“Alright! I’ll do my best.” Josephine was no longer humbling herself. Now that she had reached here, she could finally stand on her own two feet.
“Well, we’ve completed all your transferal procedures. After you’re done with your handover, you can come back up anytime. If you don’t understand anything, you can ask the senior employees, like Yuna, Gabriella, or even Lennox!”
“Okay! I understand,” Josephine agreed happily.
“Oh, right! Please say a few good words about the company to Mr. Quarles. The company is currently doing really well, and the stock prices have been rising continuously!”
“I think he already knows.” Josephine laughed. “But Mr. Quarles will definitely listen to what you have to say!” Atticus said with a smile. Right now, he was trying to curry favors with Josephine. This way, the company would always have a strong investor behind it.
When the meeting was over, Josephine pushed open the door and saw a figure running away to the next corridor. It was clear that whoever it was, they were eavesdropping.
Josephine frowned and walked straight to the corridor to find out who it was. She soon saw the figure in front of her. It was Katrina, Irked, she immediately stopped her. “Katrina.”
Katrina felt a little guilty as she turned around and asked, “What is it?” “Why were you eavesdropping? What exactly did you want to hear?” Josephine asked..
“Who said I was eavesdropping? I just happened to pass by.” Katrina didn’t want to admit it. At this point, Josephine didn’t bother saying anything more and turned to leave. However, just as she walked away, she heard Katrina mocking her from behind. “Josephine, I know you’ve been promoted, but your promotion upsets the whole company. If I were you, I wouldn’t stay here any longer!”
As Josephine didn’t like Katrina, she did not hesitate as she turned around to scold her. “Instead of wasting time talking about me, you should work on yourself more!”
Katrina snorted. “Do you really think you’re that great? You just got lucky with Mr. Quarles and climbed up with his status!” Josephine really hated these types of insults. Just a single sentence would completely disregard her efforts. Yet, Katrina stood there as if her words were completely justified.
“Whether it’s my own capabilities or not, I don’t need to prove it to someone like you,” Josephine said harshly before turning around and leaving.
Katrina gritted her teeth angrily behind her. She planned to stay in this company and wait for the day when Josephine got discarded by Ethan. When that day came, she would definitely extinguish whatever was left of Josephine’s flames.
When Josephine returned to her desk, Esther had already started working. Wren had helped her a lot. Right then and there, Josephine’s phone rang. Seeing this, she went to the pantry to answer the call. “Hello!”
“You’ve been promoted. This calls for at celebration, no?” A gentle and loving voice. came from the other end of the call. Josephine didn’t even think about it and agreed wholeheartedly, “All right! It’s on me!”
“Do we still have to draw such a clear line? I’m already yours; is there anything of mine that isn’t yours?” the man said softly. Josephine was elated when she heard that. She smiled brightly. “Okay, then I’ll treat you to dinner with your money.”
“I’ll make a reservation then.” Josephine was really looking forward to the date with him tonight. This was the best part of being in this relationship! Every day was filled with anticipation.
In the car outside the office, Jenna took out a pack of cigarettes and lit one up. She let out at big sigh before mumbling, “Is there really nothing I can do about her?”
“Miss Jenna, maybe you should tell the Quarles and their elders about it. Let them stop Mr. Ethan instead,” Jack suggested. Jenna’s eyes lit up. “That’s right! Why didn’t! think about that? She’s just an ordinary person. The Quarles will definitely not accept her.”
If she brought this up, she would definitely have to tweak the story a little. She would tell the Quarles about how Josephine had seduced their son in order to gain access to the family’s wealth.
If Josephine were described as a vain, gold- digging, materialistic woman, the elders of the Quarles would definitely oppose their marriage.
This idea excited Jenna, and she took out her phone. She quickly found Ethan’s mother’s phone number and dialed it. “Hello?” Donna Finch’s voice came from the other end.
“Mrs. Quarles, it’s me, Jenna.” “I know. What’s wrong, Jenna?” Donna asked gently. “Mrs. Quarles, do you know that Eeth has a girlfriend?” “What? Eeth has a girlfriend? Is it you?” Donna asked speculatively.
Jenna had always been confident that the Quarles Family liked her. Hearing this, she couldn’t help but feel wronged as she exclaimed, “Mrs. Quarles, how can I be so lucky? Eeth has another girl by his side.”
“Isn’t Eeth on vacation? Are you with him?” “Yes, I just arrived here, but I need to tell your something, so you won’t be kept in the dark.” “What is it?”
“There’s a girl who pulled some strings to charm Eeth. She even asked him to get her a villa and invest in a company. He even planned to leave the Quarles Family to settle here with: her so he could continue splurging on her!”
“What? How did this happen?!” Of course, Donna was furious when she heard that her son was obsessed with a woman like this. The image of a materialistic and greedy woman appeared in her mind.
It was said that women were the most important thing for the growth of a family. If such a gold digger and selfish daughter-in-law entered the family, they would be ruined no matter how powerful the family was! “Mrs. Quarles, if you don’t believe me, I can take. a picture and let you see the girl’s face.”
“Okay, Jenna. Take a picture, then show me. I want to see what kind of girl tricked her way into Eeth’s heart.” Donna’s voice was no longer gentle but full of overbearing anger. “Alright, Mrs. Quarles. Just wait a moment. Once I’ve taken the videos and photos, I’ll send them to you immediately.”
Jenna waited in the car. She guessed that Ethan would come to pick Josephine up from work. Sure enough, around 5.00PM, Jack pointed at a red sports car. “Miss Jenna, that’s what Mr. Quarles gave Josephine as a gift.”
Jenna was incredibly jealous. Although she had the money to buy the same car, Ethan’s kindness was priceless. “Follow them. I want to take videos and photos of them,” she ordered Jack.
After a while, Ethan came out with a girl in his arms. It was Josephine. They were talking, laughing, and kissing sweetly, making outsiders envious.
Jenna couldn’t believe what she saw at all. To her, Ethan was a flower that grew on top of a snow mountain and couldn’t be touched. She’d spent so many years by his side; she even worked hard to win his attention, but it was useless. Yet, now, Josephine had him wrapped around her fingers. How could Jenna be okay with that?
Thus, she picked up her phone and quickly took a video. When the couple got to the car, Ethan patted Josephine’s head and kissed her forehead lovingly. Even before getting into the car, he still wanted to be affectionate! Judging from his actions, Ethan seemed to be the one who was more in love. However, it was just that Josephine was more conservative.
So, she didn’t have the nerve to do anything with Ethan publicly. In fact, she really wanted to hug him and even wanted to touch his chest and abs when she saw him, but she could only. do these things behind closed doors when they returned to the villa. However, Ethan had been living in a foreign country. Therefore, he did not shy away from. showing affection publicly.
After their car left, Jenna followed behind them. in her SUV. She could only wait outside as she watched them enter a restaurant. She didn’t want Ethan to find out that she was secretly filming them lest she left a bad impression on him. After all, she was still looking for an opportunity to be with him.
Over at the restaurant, the atmosphere was romantic, with the accompaniment of soft music and exquisite dishes. Ever since Josephine met Ethan, she had become used to eating at high-class restaurants. However, she was always only half-full by the end of the meal. As a person who was capable of devouring two plates of spaghetti when she got home from work, this meager amount of food simply could not satisfy her appetite.
However, in front of the man she liked, Josephine pretended to be a lady. This was a change she made for the person she liked! “If you have any issues at work, come to me anytime. I’ll solve it for you,” said
Ethan. If he was being honest, he wanted her to stop working. That way, he could take care of her and spend all his time with her..
However, it was wrong to deprive her of her right to work. Everyone had a dream to pursue and being an announcer while standing in front of a screen was Josephine’s dream.
Ethan respected her, so he gave her the space and platform needed for her to achieve her dreams. Josephine couldn’t talk to him about work. If she told him about her situation, he would fire all the people who crossed her, and the company would be left with no people to run it. That would be bad for work. “Work’s fine, really.” Josephine smiled.
“Yeah. Don’t worry about anything else. I’m looking forward to your show.” “I’m preparing for it. It’ll be done soon.” Josephine picked up her glass and raised it. “Thank you, honey.”
Ethan raised a toast as well. “No problem.” They went shopping at a nearby mall after dinner. Ethan thought Josephine needed more clothes. Jenna had been waiting in the car, so when she saw the couple, she and her bodyguards followed them.
Josephine wanted to let her hair down too and walking around was good for digestion. The problem was that Ethan stood out too much. A lot of women were staring at him, and Josephine had half the mind to take him home: right away so these women couldn’t see him. Ethan had a peculiar shopping style. Most people would pick the things they wanted, but he would pick the ones he didn’t want and buy everything else. It didn’t take long for him to. pick all the clothes and bags the shop had to offer, and Josephine couldn’t stop him.
Jenna was standing outside taking photos surreptitiously, especially the ones where Josephine held Ethan’s hand as she stopped him from buying more. However, in the photo, it looked like Josephine was asking Ethan to buy more. Yep. Photos are more deceptive. Jenna looked at the photo and smirked. She could see that Josephine was trying to stop Ethan from buying more, but Ethan led her to more aisles and bought everything money could buy. If he could, he would’ve bought the whole shop..
Jenna loved shopping too, and she loved this particular brand, but she wasn’t rich enough to shop like Ethan. The Quarles Family had enough money to last them for centuries, while her family only got rich because they buttered up to the Quarles Family. Her mother would even restrict her allowance. She envied Josephine for all the love she was shown. I wish that were me.
After following the couple and taking photos and videos of them, Jenna was exhausted. She went back to the hotel and sent those photos to Donna. Donna called her right after that, and Jenna picked up the call. “Hey, Mrs. Quarles.”
