With that, Ethan had no choice but to stand up. However, he held Josephine’s face between hist palms and kissed her on the lips in front of everyone.
Josephine’s face flushed instantly. On the other hand, everyone else witnessed clearly how. much Ethan adored Josephine, to the point of publicly displaying his affection in such a way.
And it wasn’t Josephine who asked for it, Ethan was the one who wanted to do it. Hence, it was evident to everyone that Ethan was the one who courted Josephine in the first place.
“I’ll wait for you at the cafe nearby,’ Ethan said. before he left. After he left, the entire office was filled with breaths of relief from Josephine’s colleagues, and their tensed bodies finally relaxed.
Josephine, however, was bombarded by envious stares, making it difficult for her to focus on her work. Wren, who was sitting next to Josephine, leaned her chin on her palm and asked, “Are you a witch, Josephine? What spell have you cast on Mr. Quarles to make him love. you so much?”
“We’re just in a normal relationship!” Josephine replied, her face hot. “I don’t know a single spell.” “You can quit your job as a reporter. Just be Mr. Quarles’ wife and enjoy your life.”
“I don’t want that! I enjoy working. It makes my life meaningful.” Josephine had never considered spending her days doing nothing. She wanted to be someone useful to society.
On another note, Ethan’s visit to Josephine’s office had already sparked an uproar in the company’s group chat. Someone had even covertly taken a photo of Ethan sitting behind Josephine and uploaded it to the chat, and everyone in the company was discussing it. Tori happened to be in the group as well. She felt upset when she saw the photograph and looked as if she had been slapped in the face.
Tribus TV would soon begin its internal recruitment procedure. Many staff, including Josephine, had applied for it. “I’ve heard there will be an interview session! I wonder who will conduct the interview.”
Meanwhile, Tori went to Atticus and requested, “Mr. Kowalski, please let me conduct the interviews!” Atticus was agreeable to that. “Sure, since you’re experienced as well. I’ll leave the interview session to you and Caleb, then.”
A cold smile flashed across Tori’s face when she heard that. I’ll definitely fail Josephine, or at least make things difficult for her. Katrina was also getting herself ready for internal recruitment. Though she knew Josephine would be chosen, she wasn’t willing to give up so easily.
At this point, Atticus called her. “Katrina, I have some urgent documents here. Send it to Mr. Quarles right now for him to sign.” “Where is Mr. Quarles?” “He is in a private room in the cafe next to the company. Go there now!”
Hearing that Ethan was alone in a private room, Katrina immediately became excited. This is an excellent opportunity for me to be alone with him! I have to present myself well this time. Men are creatures that can’t stand temptations. Who knows what might happen later in the private room between him and me?
Katrina cheerfully headed to the ladies to touch up on her makeup. She looked at the V-shaped collar dress she had on and tugged the collar even lower until it revealed what she believed was enough. She grinned, feeling satisfied.
Many scenes had already flashed through her mind. She was looking forward to the scenes where Ethan would pull her into his embrace and ask her to be his, just like those shown in the movies.
Just thinking about this made Katrina’s body soften. If this happens, I’m definitely not going to turn him down! “Wait for me, Mr. Quarles!” she mumbled.
Then, she trotted to Atticus’ office, took a file, and went out. After driving herself to the cafe’s entrance, she carefully checked her appearance in the car before getting out. She entered the cafe with a sway to her hips, heading over to the private rooms.
When she reached Room No. 8, she heaved a deep breath, knocked on the door, and went in. Ethan was sitting on the couch. He had a cup of coffee in front of him and was reading a magazine.
“Mr. Quarles, I’m here to send you some. documents,” Katrina said, intentionally using a coquettish tone. Right after her words, she walked toward Ethan, her hips swaying. She then deliberately crouched down, took out the documents, and placed them in front of him.
