“If it wasn’t your grandpa, how did you get to know a tycoon like Ethan? It’s not like you have a wide network connection.” Katrina couldn’t believe her ears. In fact, she just confirmed with her brother-in-law that Ethan was not an ordinary tycoon. After all, his family owned a logistics company that was ranked first in the country, which was what made him stand out among the rich.
At the thought of Ethan’s presence, Katrina was especially agitated because she was expecting to change her life for the better by sponging off him. Even if she couldn’t be his wife in the end, she was hoping to secure a huge sum of money that would keep her fed for the rest of her life for herself should the both of them break up.
“You’re right. We know each other indeed. So, what are you going to do about it?” Josephine responded impatiently, feeling more and more annoyed with Katrina.
“Where did you both go last night? Did you two spend the night at the hotel? Your innocent look may fool the others, Josephine, but I know what you’re up to. You used your dirty tricks to make Ethan get laid with you.”
Josephine was a terrible liar. Thus, when she heard Katrina’s words, her face and ears blushed in embarrassment, not to mention her reluctance in answering her question.. Nevertheless, Katrina was observant enough to notice her blushed cheeks, which confirmed her suspicion. ‘Let me guess. So, you both really spent the night in the hotel, didn’t you?” “No, we didn’t. He took me home instead,” Josephine replied while looking up.
“Stop lying! You were so drunk that you lay on the table like a dead person. It’s hard not to think that you were luring Ethan into taking the opportunity. Katrina could still remember what she saw the night before. “Can I go back to my desk now?” Josephine intentionally raised her wrist and looked at her watch.
“Wait a minute, Josephine. I don’t care how you got to know Ethan, but from now on, I’m going to compete with you in a fair and square. manner because I have feelings for him too.” Katrina made her point understood as she flicked her hair to flaunt her elegance. “I believe I’m a match for you in every aspect.” Katrina was confident in herself due to her good looks, as well as her wealthy upbringing. Furthermore, the fact that her brother-in-law was the director of her company only added to her confidence.
Josephine gulped nervously, feeling a stab of pain in her chest when she heard Katrina’s words. For some reason, she had a strange feeling that Ethan was not a man who could resist temptation, recalling how he was turned on by her kiss almost right away when she pecked his lips the night before.
Because of that, she was sure a man like Ethan would surely succumb to temptations. I’m not that good-looking, but if Ethan had eyes for me, he would definitely fall for a sexy woman like Katrina. Annoyed by the thought of that, Josephine regretted sharing an intimate moment with Ethan the night before because she couldn’t accept an unfaithful man as her soulmate.
When Katrina didn’t get a response from Josephine, she grunted angrily and walked off shortly after. Then, Josephine returned to her desk, but as she was about to take a sip of water, Wren suddenly leaned closer and asked, “Joey, are these pictures of you and Luke?”
Josephine was shocked when she heard that, whereupon she immediately shifted her gaze to the phone screen to take a closer look at the pictures. Wait, what? The balloon confession is now on the headline?! Although her face and Luke’s were blurred, she still couldn’t help but feel a little pissed off. After that, she rose from her seat and made her way from the Department of Multimedia and Communication. to another. As soon as she entered the workplace, she instantly became the center of attention with everyone fixing their envious gazes on her. “Who posted the news this morning? Why wasn’t I asked for my permission before it was posted?”
‘Easy, Josephine. We censored your faces, didn’t we? Furthermore, we didn’t mention your name either. We just said the woman is a reporter.” One of the female colleagues added, “This news is getting more than a million views, so would you please stop complaining over something so trivial, Josephine?”
Josephine was speechless because she didn’t expect herself to go viral one day. Hope Luke will be fine with getting on the news. As soon as she returned to her seat, her phone rang, whereupon she checked it out and saw Luke’s name on the screen. “Hey, Luke.”
