Josephine sat down on the couch and picked up her phone to send a message to Ethan. ‘What are you up to? Do you miss me?’
‘Currently in a meeting, but thinking of you.’ Apparently, he was unaware of what had happened to Josephine.
Josephine breathed a sigh of relief. Her pictures had been deleted, and they couldn’t be found on the Internet anymore.
‘When are you leaving for the Arctic?’
‘Afternoon flight. There might not be a good signal once I arrive at the Arctic, so I won’t be able to stay in constant contact with you.’
‘That’s fine! Just occasional communication is enough.’ Josephine reassured him.
‘After the meeting, I’ll video chat with you later.’
‘Okay, you go ahead and focus on your work.’ She didn’t want to disturb him any longer as he surely had a lot of tasks to handle.
She was going to have dinner with her family that night. It took her some time to adjust to not having Ethan around. Oftentimes, she would have trouble falling asleep and would reach out beside her in her dreams, only to find an empty space. It would wake her up, and then she would spend the night flipping through photos, reminiscing about everything that happened between them.
After the bout of intense longing, she would restrain herself as she looked forward to the day they reunited.
Josephine didn’t plan to tell him about the injustice she had suffered. She worried that the situation would deeply upset him, to the extent that he might lose his appetite.
Katrina’s family was making various efforts to help her, but no matter what connections they used, it all proved futile. Katrina’s case was too sensitive, and no one dared to touch it or offer assistance, which meant that she would inevitably pay the price for her actions.
At 9.30PM, Josephine got into bed after taking a shower, and a video call from a certain man came through.
She answered the call and saw the man on the other side wearing a black shirt and a suit with a tie. He looked very formal, and the background showed a view of clouds, indicating that he was in a high-rise building.
The man’s deep and clear amber eyes in the video stared at her with a charming smile.
Before she could say anything, she was captivated by the man’s smile. She couldn’t even bring herself to speak and just admired his handsome looks.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?” the man asked. He thought she would have endless things to say to him.
Indeed, Josephine had a thousand words to say, but when they finally had a video meeting, she realized that her mouth had gone dumb, and she didn’t know what to say anymore.
“I read all your news. It’s fantastic,” the man said in a deep voice.
Josephine’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked, “Do you read news from here?”
“Well, due to my busy schedule, I only read your news,” the man replied.
Josephine couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was a good thing that he wouldn’t be reading news from other sources. That way, he wouldn’t find out about her situation.
“Are you busy over there? Besides work, do you have any leisure activities?”
“I play golf with my dad, work out, and focus on my job. Once things settle down here, I’ll bring you over for a vacation.”
Her face lit up with excitement. “That sounds great! In that case, I’ll make sure the company prepares a successor for me. When I have some free time, I’ll take a leave.”
“I suggest proposing it to Atticus to start training the successor in advance. It will put your mind at ease,” Ethan said.
At that moment, Josephine’s laptop beside her chimed with a message from Wren. There was another piece of breaking news on the Internet, which was about Tori being involved in a sugar daddy relationship. Meanwhile, Wren’s messages continued to flood in, arriving one after another.
Josephine loved reading these kinds of news and couldn’t help but keep her head close to the computer. Meanwhile, a certain man who had been neglected on her phone suddenly became alert, thinking that some other guy was enthusiastically chatting with her.
“Ahem!” The man coughed lightly.
Only then did Josephine realize that she had neglected him. She quickly looked up at him, blinked her adorable eyes, and said, “Is it cold over there? You’re dressed so warmly.”
“Yeah! It’s a bit colder here,” he replied. Afterward, he rose from his seat and gracefully removed his suit, unveiling his robust muscles subtly defined beneath his black shirt. His long and untamed fingers skillfully loosened his tie, an act brimming with such allure that caused Josephine to swallow hard, feeling the weight of temptation.
If he were by her side, she would eagerly pounce on him without hesitation, but he was far away in a location abroad. She could only watch his figure through the video, discreetly swallowing her saliva. His body was an exquisite perfection that she could only admire from afar, unable to touch or lean against it —how tantalizingly tempting it was.
At that moment, the message notifications on the side kept chiming incessantly. The man opposite Josephine began to suspect that there was another man vigorously pursuing her.
“Hey, who are you chatting with?” he asked.
“It’s my friend!”
“A guy?”
“A girl,” she said.
However, the man didn’t believe her. “Take a screenshot and show me.”
Josephine didn’t dare to take a screenshot. It was all Wren talking about Tori’s situation, and if he happened to discover Tori’s affairs and those pictures of her, it would negatively impact her image.
“It’s really a friend, a girl, my colleague. You’ve met her before, Wren,” she explained earnestly.
“Is that so?” The man’s jealousy was evident. Clearly, after being in a relationship, his possessiveness was quite strong.
“I’m not lying to you. I swear I’m not lying,” she explained again and made a solemn promise.
“Do you miss me?” the man asked hoarsely.
“I do, very much. I even dream about you,” Josephine said without any shyness. When you love someone, you should say it out loud.
“What do you miss about me?” The man suddenly became a bit ambiguous.
Josephine bit her lip and boldly confessed, “I miss sleeping in your arms.”
“Just sleeping?”
“Of course not just sleeping. You know what I mean.” She blushed. Did he really have to make me say such intimate words?
“I don’t know!” The man pretended to be ignorant. “Tell me in detail.”
She covered her face and refused to look at him. “What are you forcing me to say?”
