Meanwhile, Josephine was seated at her desk in the office. She was enjoying a cup of coffee while talking to Wren. The moment Tori stepped into the office, she caught the attention of a group of male workers. Walking around the office, she searched for a specific person until a nameplate came into view. Then, she raised her head and studied the face of the nameplate’s owner.
She indeed looks pretty. She could’ve become prettier if she paid attention to her appearance. However, nobody in the TV station can ever steal the spot of the company’s beauty queen from me! “Miss Alford, are you looking for someone?” An assistant approached her.
“No, I’m not looking for anyone. I’m just walking. around. Don’t let me keep you. You should return to work.” At that, Tori cast Josephine one last glance before turning on her heel and leaving.
After dealing with all the tasks at hand, Josephine was eagerly anticipating the arrival of the evening and meeting with Ethan. She couldn’t wait to see him after getting off work.
However, she planned to go home and see her mother as well. I need to tell Mom. Josephine decided to ask, “Wren, can I bother you for a minute?” “What is it? What can I help you with?”
“I’m calling my mother to tell her that I’m staying at your place for work purposes over the next week. I need you to cover up for me.” At the end of her sentence, Josephine was already blushing.
Since Wren also had a boyfriend, she could. understand the reason for Josephine asking for help. Therefore, she kindly agreed to help Josephine. “Sure. Call her. I’ll cover up for you.”
The pair headed to the pantry before Josephine dialed her mother’s number. “Hello, Joey! Are you coming home tonight or are you working late today?”
‘I haven’t finished my work. Mom, here’s the thing-I also need to stay at my colleague’s place over the next week. I’ll go home later and grab a few things before leaving for her place.
At that moment, Wren took the phone and enthusiastically greeted Heidi, ‘Hello, Mrs.. Jacobson. I’m Wren. Lately, we are working on summarizing an important work report, so we have to work together.”
“Oh! It’s you, Wren. Thanks for having Joey over. I’m counting on you to take care of her.” Heidi was instantly convinced by Wren’s words. “Rest assured, Mrs. Jacobson. I’ll take good care of her!” Wren promised.
Josephine eventually took the phone back. “I have to go, Mom. I’ll go home and pick up some clothes later.” “I’m not at home at the moment. You don’t need to wait for me.”
“All right, Mom.” After Josephine hung up the phone, Wren couldn’t help but lean in and whisper, “Joey, did you move in with Mr. Quarles?”
The innocent question sent a blush to Josephine’s face. A few seconds later, shel nodded lightly. “I did.” “That’s so good! You have to be careful with such a boyfriend, though, Wren reminded her..
“How am I supposed to be careful? In my opinion, what’s mine will always belong to me. And if it isn’t destined to be mine, I can’t bend it. to my will.” Josephine had no idea about how she should react to what awaited her in the future.
“It’s just that Mr. Quarles has a lot of admirers in our company, not to mention that he’s an influential man. Just be careful, Wren murmured. At that moment, Josephine’s phone rang, cutting their conversation short. She glanced at the screen. “It’s him.”
“You should answer it. I won’t keep you any longer. With that, Wren returned to her work. Josephine answered the call in a sweet voice, “Hello?”
“I’ll be there in ten minutes. You can get ready now.” Ethan’s magnetic voice reached her from the other end of the line. Josephine hummed a response. “All right. See you in ten minutes.” She then went downstairs to wait for Ethan
after grabbing her belongings. Since she made her relationship with Ethan public, she saw no point in worrying about others’ opinions anymore.
Josephine waited for Ethan’s arrival at the intersection. It wasn’t a long wait as the distant roar of the sports car’s engine grew even louder until the car rolled to a stop in front of her. The window lowered, revealing Ethan’s face. “Get in the car,” he urged.
Josephine did as she was told and informed him, “I want to go home first. I need to pack a few clothes.” A glint of surprise flashed across Ethan’s fathomless eyes. “Have you decided to move in with me?”
Pursing her red lips in shyness, Josephine nodded. “Yes, I want to get to know you, and have you learn new things about me too.” Dating was a process to spend time together and get to know each other. Josephine doubted they could maintain their relationship without understanding each other.
“I’m glad to hear that!’ It was exactly what Ethan had in mind. Ethan then sent Josephine back to her house. Her mother was currently out with friends. Meanwhile, her father was always on a business trip. Thus, Josephine spent most of her time with her mother.
