“Ivanka, you have no idea how much I hate her!” “I know, but there’s something I have to check with you. Is Tori going after Mr. Quarles as well?”
“What? Who said that?” “I saw the messages in Atticus’ phone where she secretly asked a favor from him to arrange a meeting with Mr. Quarles.” “Really? Does Tori have her eyes on Mr. Quarles as well? Looks like things will get interesting from now on!” Katrina stated with glee.
Beautiful and elegant, Tori was a renowned TV host and rumored to be a wealthy man slayer. As long as she made her move, not a single man could escape from her grasp. Although the situation was hopeless for Katrina, she didn’t want Josephine to hit the jackpot either. She would rather have Tori snatching Ethan than watch as he dated Josephine. “Ivanka, do you know if they’ve been on a date. yet?”
“After some grilling last night, Atticus admitted that he had created an opportunity for them and they probably had a meal together already,” Ivanka said. She was annoyed by Tori as well because the latter was really an expert at creating issues.
“That means Tori and Mr. Quarles already have a thing! Ha! And poor Josephine is still in the dark about this!” “Keep an eye on Atticus and don’t let any woman close to him,” Ivanka said.
“Don’t worry! I’ll be sure to keep a lookout on him and won’t let any other woman approach him,” Katrina assured and after making small talk, they ended the call.
Overjoyed, Katrina played with her long hair, thinking that all she had to do was wait for Tori to pick on Josephine. No, I have to let Josephine find out about this before that happens. That will affect her mood and she’ll get into a confrontation with Tori during the interview. Let’s see how she’s going to get past this interview, then! Hence, she decided to take matters into her own hands and find the chance to leak this information to Josephine.
During lunch, Josephine went to the staff. canteen with Wren, and a nosey female colleague asked Josephine, “Oh, are you still having canteen food with us even though you’re already the girlfriend of the biggest shareholder of the company, Josephine?”
“Exactly! Aren’t you going to have your meals at five-star restaurants every day or hire a private chef to prepare delicious meals for you?” another colleague joked.
“Once you’re the lady boss, please treat us kindly, Josephine! After all, we’ve known each other for such a long time.” Seeing the earnest plea in their eyes, Josephine couldn’t help but reply with a laugh, “What are you guys thinking about?”
Josephine, if I were you, I would have resigned. and become a lady boss long ago!” “Exactly! I heard that you even went outdoors for interviews. You should just let someone else do this tiring job. Don’t get sunburnt and all.”
Dumbfounded, Josephine stated after a couple of seconds, “Regardless of who I’m dating, I don’t want to lose my goals. I like this job very much because I find it meaningful.”
Three pairs of eyes turned wide all of a sudden, and her colleagues thought that she had no idea how lucky she was. After lunch, Josephine made her way to the pantry and wanted to return to her report after making herself a cup of coffee. However, Katrina made use of this opportunity and dragged another colleague who was usually close to her to hide on the other side of the pillar. ‘Do you know what my sister told me?” she began, raising her voice a little.
“Not a clue. What did she tell you?” “Miss Alford secretly went on a date with Mr. Quarles, Katrina said, shifting her gaze toward Josephine, who was behind the pillar.
Right when Josephine wanted to pick up her coffee, she heard what Katrina said and her hand trembled. The hot liquid splashed and scalded her a little, but she bore with it because she wanted to hear what Katrina would say next.
“Really? Miss Alford has made her move, huh? Mr. Quarles is so charming that even Miss Alford has her eyes on him. I guess Josephine still doesn’t know about this, does she?”
“There’s no way Mr. Quarles will tell her about this! They went on a date a few days ago. He would have told Josephine a long time ago if he really wanted to. Clearly, he’s a very open- minded person. In addition, Miss Alford is a stunner and has a great figure. Mr. Quarles has surely taken a fancy to her,” Katrina exclaimed. on purpose for Josephine’s benefit.
“You have a point. All of Miss Alford’s ex- boyfriends are wealthy men, so she must be interested in Mr. Quarles.” “I heard that they ate a meal in a private room and were together inside for two hours. Who knows what they were doing inside?”
