Tori’s words had planted a seed of greed that festered inside Katrina. She felt as if Josephine was the only thing standing in her way right now. As long as I get rid of Josephine, her position will be mine!
Katrina recalled a previous incident where a news announcer had been removed from the position. It was all because of a scandal that broke out. How can I implicate Josephine in a scandal too? If I do a good job, I might even get to drive a wedge between her and Ethan. Maybe Ethan will dump her too!
She was in no mood to get on with her work now. Instead, she called Ivanka and invited her out for a chat at a cafe. Ivanka was also a domineering woman. When she found out that Katrina didn’t get what she wanted because of Josephine, she felt upset on her sister’s behalf. To her, Katrina’s standing in the company was also a reflection of her image, and as the boss’ wife, she felt humiliated.
“Help me think of something, Ivanka! Miss Alford said she’d recommend me for the position, and with you helping me out, too, I’ll surely get to become an anchorwoman like I always dreamed of. You know that’s always been my desire,” Katrina pleaded with a pout.
“Don’t worry! I’ll help you. I never liked that Josephine woman, anyway,” Ivanka declared. “Let’s think of a plan together, Ivanka!” Katrina suggested. She was certain Ivanka could come up with something.
True enough, Ivanka was the kind of woman with too much time on her hands, to the point that her life was filled with nothing but gossip and schemes. After thinking about it for a while, she recalled the news she saw a couple of days ago and sneered, “There’s nothing to it.
It’ll be a piece of cake to destroy her reputation. You can create anything with a computer these days. Why don’t we just edit some of those kinds of photos and change out the face? All we need to do is make sure the issue blows up so that Josephine can’t escape from it.”
Katrina was thrilled. “You’re so smart, Ivanka! That’s such a good idea. As long as we edit Josephine’s face onto those kinds of R-rated content creators, say she was once involved in the adult entertainment industry, and make sure the news blows up, she’ll never be able to clear her name!
“It’s not important whether or not she manages to clear her name. Once this blows up, whenever the audience sees her face, it’ll be the only thing they can remember about her. I’m sure they’ll be put off by her presence and curse her out,” Ivanka said. She was confident their plan would be a success. Katrina hugged her sister in glee. “You’re amazing, Ivanka.”
“Alright. That’s the plan! You just need to make sure you find someone who can keep their mouth shut,” Ivanka declared. However, never in Ivanka’s wildest dreams would she have thought that this plan would end up sending Katrina to jail.
Back at the studio, Josephine was doing another test run of reporting the news when she saw the man standing at the door with his arms crossed. She couldn’t stop herself from smiling ever so slightly and ended up misreading two words as well. Her flow was interrupted.
At first, the broadcast director didn’t know what was happening, but when he turned around and spotted Ethan standing at the back, he realized that she was affected by Ethan’s presence. “Alright, Joey. That’s enough for today. Hurry up and go off your date with Mr. Quarles!”
The female employees eyed Josephine with looks of envy. Ethan was too handsome. Everything from his height and figure to his face was flawless in every way! “Why did you come over?” Josephine walked over to Ethan and asked.
“I guess I can’t be in the studio with you anymore, or I’ll end up affecting you,” Ethan remarked with a chuckle as he caressed her head affectionately.
Josephine recalled the way she faltered her lines earlier because of him and nodded. “That’s right. You can’t be in the studio with me.” Ethan laughed and put his arm around her waist. “Alright. I’ll hang outside the door and eavesdrop next time.”
He led Josephine away. The two were open with their affection even when they were in the office, much to the envy of the other employees. Who wouldn’t be jealous of the fact that Josephine, a mere reporter, had managed to become the boss’ girlfriend?
“Let me call my mom and see if she wants to have dinner together tonight,” Ethan said. “Sure, go ahead. I want to spend more time with her, too.” Josephine nodded.
When Ethan called up Donna, she said she wouldn’t have dinner with them. She also informed him that she had moved her things out of his place. Ethan was overjoyed at how perceptive his mother was!
“My mom isn’t free for dinner tonight, and… she moved back into the hotel.” He gave Josephine a meaningful look. Josephine’s cheeks flushed. Does that mean we can stay together again? It also meant that something wonderful and somewhat embarrassing was bound to happen tonight.
She never tried to deny being physically attracted to Ethan. He was sculpted in all the right places. No woman would find him unattractive.
“Let’s go! We’ll have a good meal before heading home.” Ethan took her hand and led her to his car. Along the way, he got a call from his subordinate, who had confirmed the purchase of the concert tickets he wanted.
“We can relax and have a good time tomorrow,” Ethan told Josephine. Josephine was looking forward to it, too. She looked forward to attending the concert with him.
They had a joyous and relaxing time together during dinner. The restaurant even prepared a special gift and dessert for all the couples dining there today. Although Josephine was a little tired, she felt entirely contented.
When they returned to Ethan’s villa, Josephine wanted to go over her script for a while, but Ethan soon pinned her down in bed. They had only been apart for a single night, but that was enough to turn Ethan into a starving wolf. She couldn’t help but wonder if he had been intimate with other women before her.
However, before she could dwell on that, his tongue pressed against hers, and she could no longer think of anything. The sensations sent bolts of electricity right down to her toes. She felt as if she were a precious gem he was cupping gently in his hands. She felt well and truly loved.
“Mmm… Ethan…” Josephine gasped. “Call out my name again,” Ethan commanded in a muffled voice. She clung to him as she repeated, “Ethan…
Satisfied, Ethan pulled her closer and murmured, I love you, Joey.” Consumed by his confession of love, Josephine allowed him to have complete control over her.
The next morning, Josephine went to work. To her, work wasn’t about earning money. Instead, it was about fulfilling her dreams. Thus, she loved heading in to work every day.
She didn’t spot the pair of eyes in a black sedan nearby that was fixed on her. Once her car was out of sight, the man in the car gave Jenna a call. “Josephine Jacobson has left for work, Miss Langley. Mr. Quarles is alone in the house.” “Alright. I’ll be coming over soon. Keep an eye on things for me,” Jenna replied.
“Yes, Miss Langley!” Back at the hotel, Jenna pulled out a sexy dress. She was about to move forward with her plan. Just as she was halfway there to Ethan’s house, the bodyguard called her again. “Mr. Quarles has gone out, Miss Langley. Are you still coming?”
“What? What’s he doing?” “I don’t know. I’m tailing him right now.” “Keep your eye on him and keep me updated.” Jenna wasn’t going to give up.
Soon, her bodyguard called her once more. He followed Ethan and found that the latter had gone to the hotel where Jenna was staying. Evidently, he came to the hotel to meet Donna. Jenna was peeved. If she had known that Ethan would come to the hotel, she would’ve waited for him there.
Her bodyguard had to wait near the exit of the hotel’s basement parking lot. He didn’t want to get too close out of fear that Ethan would find out he was helping Jenna with this. If that happened, there was no way the bodyguard could get away with it unscathed.
Soon, Ethan’s car exited the parking lot, and the bodyguard quickly reported this development to Jenna. “Miss Langley, Mr. Quarles has driven. out of the hotel. He’s heading to the house.” “Is he alone?”
“I couldn’t see if anyone was sitting in the back.” However, Jenna was certain that Ethan had to be alone. Last night, Donna said she would be heading out to meet with her old friends the next day. By now, Jenna had arrived at Ethan’s villa. The last time she was here, she secretly stole a peek at the password Donna keyed in to get into the house and seared it to memory. Now, she sauntered into the place as if she were the lady of the house.
No matter what I do, it’s all because I love Ethan, she thought to herself. I’m willing to do anything for him. I’ll even give myself up to him. She used the same password to unlock the door leading to the living room, and when she walked in, the couple-design items scattered all over the living room made her jealousy rear its ugly head. He’s even willing to do these sorts of silly romantic things for Josephine’s sake.
Jenna was still in touch with the bodyguard, and to her absolute joy, Ethan’s car was heading back to the house. Doesn’t that mean he’s coming home alone?
She decided to offer herself up to him. She knew what men were like. She was going to stand naked in front of Ethan later; she was convinced he would get a reaction from the sight. How could a man possibly reject a woman who’s throwing herself at him?
Jenna went to the master bedroom and took a shower. She moved around as if she owned the place and used Josephine’s toiletries to get herself all squeaky clean, humming a tune the whole time. Once she was done with the shower, she put on her almost completely see- through nightgown and lay down on the bed.
Just then, the bodyguard reported to her, “Miss Langley, Mr. Quarles’ car has driven into the house.” “Got it. Stay away, and don’t let anyone else discover you. I’ll handle the rest myself.”
Jenna looked out the window expectantly and spotted the car. She closed her eyes and made a wish. Please let this be a success. Then, she took off her nightgown and sat down on the couch. She wanted
Ethan to see her the moment he opened the door.
Meanwhile, out in the courtyard, someone came down from the back seat and said to the bodyguard, “Wait here. I’ll be right back after I get something from the house.”
“Yes, Mrs. Quarles,” the bodyguard replied.
No one expected the person stepping out from the backseat to be Donna instead of Ethan. The last time Donna stayed there, she left behind. some jewelry. Therefore, she had to retrieve the jewelry and give them to her best friends. Meanwhile, Ethan was waiting for Josephine tor pick him up from the hotel for a date.
After opening the door, Donna headed to the guest room on the second floor, where she had stayed before. She opened the wardrobe and took out three boxes of expensive jewelry. Then, she arrived at the living room on the second floor and heard some noise from the floor above.
She couldn’t help but be shocked. Is Josephine still in the villa? Ethan said he was going to meet up with her. Is she back home to retrieve something?
Then, she went to the third floor and realized the noise came from the master bedroom. Although she was surprised, she didn’t read too much into it. As she looked at the door left ajar, she went over and opened it to make sure Josephine was home.
When Jenna heard footsteps approaching inside the bedroom, she was excited. She reckoned that Ethan would be astounded when he saw her, and he would tell her to put on her clothes. She just had to hug Ethan immediately and make sure he wouldn’t turn her down.
When the footsteps were close enough, Jenna rose from the couch and stood there with an innocent expression. Much to her surprise, the person entering the room was Donna instead of Ethan.
