Josephine came out of the room, feeling honored when she heard she would have lunch with the Presgrave couple. At 12.00PM, Jared brought Ellen along, who was already five months pregnant and had a slightly protruding belly. However, her figure was still as slender as a young girl’s. She wore a delicate champagne satin dress that exuded an elegant aura. She had naturally cultivated her temperament as befitting Jared’s wife.
“Jared.” Ethan went up and gave Jared a fist bump. The two men had their own way of greeting each other. Ellen looked at Josephine. She had heard that the latter had met and fallen in love with Ethan at their wedding, which was why she remembered Josephine..
“Miss Jacobson, you caught my bouquet, didn’t you?” Ellen asked with a smile. Josephine nodded proudly. “Yes, I caught it.” “It seems fate brought you together. It means that the next wedding will be yours!” Ellen said excitedly.
Josephine blushed a little but still yearned for it in her heart. After all, once she got together with Ethan, she would surely want to get married. “I hope so!” Josephine murmured with a smile.
The two women were of similar age and had many topics to discuss. Their personalities were also similar and their other halves were good friends, so they naturally wanted to become best friends and be close to each other.
After lunch, the two couples parted ways. Jared accompanied Ellen to have a prenatal check-up in the afternoon while Ethan took Josephine for a drive to relax.
The three-day holiday passed quickly, in which Josephine rarely checked the group messages. There were lively discussions about her relationship with Ethan and various rumors were spreading in the group she had set to ‘Do Not Disturb’.
In some private groups, Josephine was labeled as a vixen who seduced the major shareholder to get promoted by any means necessary.
Katrina was the first to take the lead in every group where she was present. She would harshly criticize Josephine and reveal how the young woman had seduced Ethan at the dinner table. It instantly piqued people’s interest in the drama.
Finally, Wren couldn’t help but ask Josephine directly. Josephine was stunned for a few seconds as she looked at the message sent by Wren. Wren had asked, ‘Joey, did you seduce our new boss for Miss Ain’s position?’
Josephine quickly asked, ‘Where did you hear that from?’ ‘Everyone in the company’s groups is talking about you. Don’t you know?’ Wren replied. ‘What?’ Josephine felt overwhelmed. Who is spreading rumors and causing trouble?
‘Is it true that the sports car was a gift from the president?’ Josephine knew she couldn’t hide it anymore and replied, ‘Yes, it was a gift from him.’
‘Are you really dating him?’ Just then, Josephine was reading a message in the group that said, ‘How could Josephine do this? Seducing the boss to get promoted is so unethical!’
Josephine snorted and replied directly, ‘Sorry, we’re dating.” Josephine’s response in the group chat shocked all the employees who were online as the person involved had now admitted to it.
Just then, a message from Katrina came in. ‘Josephine, how shameless can you be? You say you’re dating, but do you have any evidence?”
‘Yeah! That’s not enough! We want to see the evidence!’ ‘Right! We won’t believe it unless you post a selfie with Mr. Quarles. Josephine, I dare you to send it!’
Some employees who didn’t like Josephine were eager to kick her while she was down. They were convinced that Josephine was putting on a show, thinking she was fake dating the boss. “You are ridiculous! Pick a better lie to tell!’ another employee replied.
At that, Katrina chimed in, ‘She’s delusional!’ Just then, the group administrator received a request from a new member to join the group. The administrator immediately approved the request and the group’s profile picture, which used to be a photograph of a landscape, was replaced with a male selfie. The nickname was also changed to ‘Ethan’.
