Ethan carried her directly back to the bed while Josephine covered her face as if she was ashamed. At this moment, the man leaned over and kissed her on her delicate collarbone as if demanding payment.
Josephine was shocked and she exclaimed out loud. She opened her eyes, only to see Ethan holding her head between his hands, his burning gaze fixed on her. “I’m sealing the deal.”
Josephine blinked her beautiful eyes, not understanding what he meant. The man looked at her and growled hoarsely, “Mine.” Josephine suddenly understood what he meant and buried her face in the blanket. “Ethan, go back to your room and sleep.”
Ethan laughed and looked at the embarrassed woman before him. He didn’t tease her anymore and got up to leave. Although Josephine was shy, she was still happy deep down. It was just that she had a feeling of being watched and unable to escape.
The next morning, Josephine got up and hurriedly went to the bathroom. She was relieved to see that her face was much better. However, she still had to stay with Ethan for two more days.
Josephine wondered if she could ask for a day off today. She couldn’t help but laugh at the thought Isn’t the boss of the company right by my side? It shouldn’t be difficult to take a day off!
And so, she put on a bathrobe and went out. Meanwhile, Ethan had already gotten up and was standing on the balcony, enjoying the scenery. “Mr. Quarles, can I take a day off?” Josephine asked. “Sure.” Ethan turned around and added, “Is one week enough?”
“Huh? Really? I can take a whole week off?” Josephine was overjoyed upon hearing that. Taking time off from the TV station was difficult. “It’s a piece of cake for me,” Ethan said. He suddenly realized that becoming her boss. meant providing her with these benefits.
“I’ll take three days off first, then!” Josephine didn’t need a week off. Three days would be enough. Ethan quickly made a phone call to Atticus to approve Josephine’s three days off.
Josephine felt utterly relaxed as she was able to take three days off. She held her face and looked at the scenery of the bustling traffic in the distance. Being able to have a day of leisure made her very happy. “Come on! Let’s go downstairs for breakfast,” Ethan said to her.
Josephine suddenly thought, Can I take him shopping? She wanted to go shopping during her time off. Usually, she didn’t have time to buy clothes. “Okay. After breakfast, can you come shopping with me?” Josephine asked while looking up.
“Of course.” Ethan smiled. He wanted to buy her some clothes too. After finishing breakfast, Josephine used the only makeup she had in her bag to apply some light makeup, mainly covering the slightly red. half of her face. The injury was not visible under the light makeup.
Ethan drove her to the mall in his sports car. While shopping, Josephine was finally able to experience the feeling of being envied by others because when Ethan held her hand, the women around them looked at her with envy.
After browsing several branded stores, Ethan picked out eight sets of clothes for her, which Josephine could tell were intended as gifts. She didn’t refuse and willingly went along with it this time. She also realized that she had given him something to hold over her head and had to be prepared for the consequences.
When they were tired from shopping, they went to have lunch and continued in the afternoon. Josephine thought that Ethan would get tired, but it turned out that she was the one who got tired because he couldn’t stop buying things.
They went from clothes to jewelry, and he finally took her to a real estate agency, where he wanted Josephine to help him choose a house. He wanted to settle down in this city. At first, Josephine was surprised and asked, “Why do you want to settle down here?”
Ethan looked at her and said, “Because of you.” Josephine was shocked. Ethan wants to settle down in this city for me, eh?
However, looking for a house wasn’t easy, sol Ethan left it to his assistants to handle. When they returned to the hotel after dinner, it was already 9.30PM and Josephine was exhausted from walking around. She took off her makeup and looked at herself in the mirror, her expression betraying a hint of exhaustion. All she wanted to do was take a shower and go to bed.
