Ethan went back to his room and texted Josephine. ‘My mom wants to see you tomorrow. Do you have time for that?’ ‘Not if my boss doesn’t give me a day off, texted Josephine cheekily. You got your day off. Tell me if you want more.”
Josephine was in her bed, feeling sweet. Feels good when your boss is your boyfriend. ‘Get some sleep and look perfect tomorrow. I want my mom to think you’re a goddess, said Ethan. Josephine chuckled. Oh, he’s nervous. He’s worried his mom might not like me. “I know. I’ll go to sleep now.’ ‘Night.’
‘Good night.” Josephine picked up her earplugs and read through a novel as she fell asleep. She had a habit of going through history texts before going to sleep. They worked well to put her to sleep, and she drifted to the land of dreams in a moment.
Morning came, and Josephine put on some makeup, then she left. Heidi was watering the flowers, and she asked, “So when’s the wedding?” Josephine blushed. “Mom, we’re still dating.”
“Make sure you don’t lose him, alright? He’s a good man.” Heidi liked Ethan. Josephine was filled with motivation, and she drove away. She worked for a bit and waited for Ethan to call her. About ten thirty, he called. I’m at work. Where you at?”
“My mom and I are coming to the company. Go to my office in a bit.”
“Sure.” Josephine was surprised they would meet at his office. Donna heard all about how her son courted Josephine, and she was surprised he was the one who initiated it. I wonder, what’s so magical about her? Why does Ethan like her so much? If she is as materialistic as Jenna says she is, Ethan would never have fallen for her.
Donnal should trust her son more. It was her first time seeing her son love someone so much. Hel would never treat her like that if she was just another gold digger that constantly orbited him.
Once at the company, Ethan took Donna on a tour around the lobby. Donna thought the station was running well, and then she glanced through the employees of the month board. When she reached the bottom, she noticed a familiar face Josephine?
She checked the name, and sure enough, it was Josephine. Accompanying it were all her achievements, and the sight of that made Donna change her opinion of Josephine..
They went to Ethan’s office, and Donna sat on the couch, waiting for Josephine. Josephine was standing in front of the bathroom’s mirror, straightening herself up and reapplying her makeup. She then nervously got into the elevator.
Ethan got a call from the company, and he left. Donna wanted to look around, so she got out and entered the elevator, then it stopped at Josephine’s floor. The moment the doors swung open, Donna was met with the sight of Josephine. She took a closer look, but Josephine didn’t know that this woman was Ethan’s mother.
What an elegant woman. Josephine saw Donnal but thought Donna would be accompanied by Ethan and would never show up alone. Donna wanted to put her through a test, so she held her forehead and gasped. Josephine quickly held her. “Are you alright, ma’am?”
“Can you take me to the hospital, miss?” Donna asked. “Of course, Give me a second. I’ll call 911.” “It’s alright. Just take me there yourself.” I have to meet someone though, but this seems urgent. Sorry, Mrs. Quarles. Josephine agreed to it, “Okay.
Donna said, “You seem to be in a hurry. You don’t have to help me if you can’t.” “It’s alright. I can take you to the hospital,” said Josephine quickly.
“My head hurts. I might faint if I don’t get any medical attention,” said Donna. “My car’s in the parking lot. I’ll take you to the hospital. Josephine put everything aside and took the lady to the hospital.
Donna looked at her. She seems genuine. That kind of kindness cannot be faked. She got into Josephine’s car, and Josephine drove away. “How may I address you? Where do you live? You might want to call your family, madam…”
“Finch. Yes, I’ve called my family. Just take me to the hospital.” Josephine’s phone rang, and it was connected to the car. Donna noticed that the call was from her son, and Josephine took the call. “Hey, Ethan.”
“Where are you?” Ethan was waiting in the corridor. He wanted to go to his office with Josephine. “Sorry, but I need to deal with something. Can you give me fifteen minutes?”
“You’re driving? Where to?” Ethan noticed the hum of a car engine. “A lady needs to be taken to the hospital, but I’ll be quick. Tell your mother I’ll be there soon.”
“Sure. I’ll explain it to my mom,” said Ethan. “I’ll make it back ASAP.” Josephine hung up. Donna looked at Josephine, and she thought a lot better of this girl now.
Ethan went back into his office only to notice that his mother was missing, much to his confusion. Is she in the bathroom? Or did she go around? I should look for her.
Josephine was stuck in traffic, much to her chagrin. She looked a little panicked. “Sorry for wasting your time, miss.” “It’s alright. Nothing important, so don’t worry. We’ll be there soon,” said Josephine.
“Ah, I’m alright. Was that your boyfriend?” A hint of love appeared in Josephine’s eyes, and she nodded. “Yep.”
Donna paused for a moment. Josephine answered without hesitation, and her eyes were filled with happiness. Genuine happiness. Donna could see that she wasn’t putting on an act, nor did Josephine realize the woman she was talking to was Ethan’s mother. “Do you love him?”
“Yes, I do,” Josephine said without hesitation. And then, seemingly reminded of something, Donna said, “Oh no. My bag’s at your company, and I don’t have my phone. Can you take me back, miss?”
Josephine was a little surprised, but she didn’t lose patience or get upset, so she nodded. “Sure. I can turn around just ahead. Shouldn’t take more than twenty minutes.” Josephine turned back, and Donna was keeping a close eye on her. Josephine was getting nervous, but she decided she would take this lady to the hospital before she would see Ethan’s mother.
And then a pedestrian decided to flout all traffic laws and crossed the road. Josephine slammed on the brakes and waited for the pedestrian to cross. Most people would’ve started cursing, but Josephine waited for the pedestrian to cross.
Ten minutes later, she came back to the building, and Ethan searched the whole place. He was at the entrance and about to call his mother when he saw Josephine’s car coming into the picture, and he heaved a sigh of relief. Josephine’s back
As Josephine’s car pulled over, Ethan walked over to greet her. However, he saw a familiar silhouette coming out from the front passenger seat and his eyes widened. It was his mother. Ethan finally realized that the person Josephine took to the hospital was his mother who was most likely testing her.
Josephine looked up and spotted her boyfriend standing at the entrance. “What are you doing here?” she asked in surprise. “Aren’t you supposed to be with your mother right now?” Ethan cleared his throat a little awkwardly before pointing at the lady behind Josephine. “She’s my mother.”
Flustered, Josephine quickly whipped her head around and saw Donna standing behind her with a smile. Josephine immediately let go of Ethan’s hand as she was afraid Donna would take issue with it.
“I do apologize for getting to know you in this manner, Josephine. I hope I didn’t scare you,” Donna said. Josephine turned red and stammered, “I-It’s fine, Mrs. Quarles.” Ethan put his arm around Josephine’s shoulder and made the introductions. “Mom, this is my girlfriend Josephine Jacobson.”
“Please don’t take it to heart, Miss Jacobson. It was just a spur-of-the-moment idea of mine. I wanted to get to know you.” Donna was apologetic. She knew that her attempt at secretly getting to know Josephine’s personality could make the latter feel uncomfortable.
“It’s fine! It’s perfectly fine, Mrs. Quarles. I hope I didn’t disappoint you.” Josephine was worried that her performance might not have been up to Donna’s standards.
“Not at all. I can tell that you’re a lovely young woman with a warm, helpful heart,” Donna declared. She turned to Ethan and said, “It’s time to eat. Let’s have a meal with Josephine.”
Ethan took in Donna’s expression and exhaled in relief. From the looks of it, she was pretty pleased with her assessment of Josephine. In any case, Ethan firmly believed that Josephine was a very likable person. “Sure, Mom. I’ll make the reservations right away,” Ethan replied.
“My bag is still in your office. Help me bring it down,” Donna instructed. Ethan went to get Donna’s bag while Josephine stayed with Donna, though she felt a little pressured. When she didn’t know who Donna was, she simply thought of Donna as a friendly older lady, but she now sensed a strong and commanding aura from Donna that made her nervous.
Earlier on, she loudly admitted that Ethan was her boyfriend. What if she doesn’t like what I said? How embarrassing! Donna even asked whether or not she loved Ethan, and she remembered how confidently she answered that question! Ahhh! It’s so awkward!
Josephine kept her eyes on the ground. She was tensed as she tried to find something to talk about. “Mrs. Quarles, you said you felt dizzy earlier, but you’re not actually dizzy, right?” she quickly checked. “If you are, we should head to the hospital.” Donna chuckled. “I’m fine. I was just pretending.”
“That’s good,” Josephine said with flushed cheeks. Donna took a closer look at her. Josephine was dressed in clothes made of ordinary material that didn’t seem to belong to any major brand. However, she was dressed decently and presentably. Her features were pleasant as well. She had a bright and cheerful kind of prettiness about her.
Donna recalled what Jenna had said in the past and realized that everything had been lies. She began to question herself for trusting Jenna’s words. Her malicious actions had to have hurt Josephine. She even told Ethan to send Josephine away last night. She must’ve been hurt by that.
“I’m sorry about last night. I had personal reasons for not meeting you,” Donna said. “It’s fine, Mrs. Quarles. I’m sure you were exhausted from the long trip.”
“I’ve been here for a few days now. I didn’t arrive yesterday,” Donna readily admitted. Just then, a deliveryman who seemed to be in a rush checked his watch and failed to notice Donna in front of him. He was on the verge of running into her.
Josephine noticed this and quickly pulled Donna away. Donna was startled at first, but she soon saw the man who had been behind her. She would’ve been hit if Josephine hadn’t saved her. Donna gave Josephine a grateful look as Josephine quickly let go of Donna out of fear that the older woman might feel offended
Donna sensed how cautious Josephine was. She must be worried about me not liking her! In reality, Donna now had a favorable impression of Josephine. Based on personality alone, Josephine was the kind of young woman she was fond of.
Donna found Josephine to be a frank and unpretentious young woman with a bright and cheerful personality. Even her looks were exactly to Donna’s taste. She looks like someone open and gentle.
It’s no wonder Ethan likes her and keeps saying that she’s special. Although Donna couldn’t tell what was special about Josephine just yet, she believed that Josephine was someone worth getting to know better. Ethan quickly came back. “Let’s go, Mom!”
Just then, a car pulled up in front of them. Jenna had rushed over thinking that she would come in time to have lunch with Ethan and Donna. She didn’t expect to run into them in front of the building.
Jenna got out of the car. She was all dolled up and fairly attractive under the sunlight. When she spotted Josephine, she figured it was a good time for her to show off her relationship with Donna. Thus, Jenna had a brilliant smile on her face as she walked over to Donna. “I came to look for you, Mrs. Quarles!”
