“I see.” Josephine curved her lips into a smile and turned to Katrina. “Did you hear that? My boyfriend himself has clarified the matter. In the future, please stop spreading such malicious gossip lest you destroy his reputation.”
At this point, Katrina’s complexion had. practically turned blue from fright. She frantically waved her hands and apologized. “I won’t! I really won’t! I will never listen to such nonsensical gossip again. I’m very sorry, Mr. Quarles. I was in the wrong.” Ethan cast a grim look at her. “Leave!”
Katrina immediately slipped away as though. she was fleeing for her life. The other employees who had gathered around to watch. the show could also tell that Ethan was in a terrible mood at the moment, so they hastily clocked out of work and left the office without delay.
Hence, they did not see the man’s expression. softening instantly when Josephine reached out to hold his hand. “It’s fine. I didn’t misunderstand you either.”
Josephine smiled brightly. She finally understood the whole situation now. Now that she had gotten to the bottom of the matter, she felt extremely relieved.
Nevertheless, Ethan’s gaze remained worried as he walked out of the company while holding her hand. When they entered the car, he immediately leaned over and looked into her eyes with a profound yet burning gaze. ‘Do you need me to explain further?”
Josephine shook her head with a smile. “There’s no need.” In her opinion, he had not only been wronged but also falsely accused by her for no reason. Ethan finally stepped on the accelerator. The sports car drove toward the villa that was just handed over to him.
The villa was one of the few bungalow villas located in the city center. It was very rare to have a villa with an exclusive courtyard of 500 square meters in the city center, where every inch of land was expensive. Hence, the price of the villa was naturally astronomical.
Josephine was amazed by the luxurious layout of the villa. There were eight European-style Roman columns decorating the front of the villa, which gave off an imperious atmosphere. Although they seemed fairly ancient, they were very well-maintained. When she walked into the hall, she was greeted by the sight of a spacious hall with a soaring ceiling of six meters.
The crystal chandelier hanging down from the ceiling and the large floor-to-ceiling windows tempted her to take a nap on the couch. It was the perfect spot to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning sun or admire the lights outside the window while leisurely working on an article she brought home from work.. On a weekday night, she could even cook a scrumptious feast, open a bottle of wine, and put on a song to enjoy a relaxing drink with Ethan after a grueling day at work. That also seemed like a pretty good choice!
“Do you like it?” the man behind her asked with a smile. She turned around and exclaimed, “I love it!” There was no denying that she truly enjoyed these types of villas that had their own unique atmosphere. Therefore, she did not conceal her feelings and openly declared that she loved everything about the villa.
“Go upstairs and have a look.” Ethan took her upstairs, happy to see how much she adored the villa. It happened to be evening at the moment, so the glow of the sunset reflecting against the glass windows bathed the entire villa in warm colors.
Josephine and Ethan explored the second floor together. They eventually came to the master bedroom on the third floor. It was definitely the most luxurious master bedroom Josephine had. ever seen in her life. Even the bathroom was bigger than her bedroom at home.
“In the future, we will be living here together. Just the two of us.” At that, he glanced over at her with a burning gaze. Josephine nodded shyly. “Okay! I’ll move in with you.”
Ethan couldn’t help stretching out his arm to pull her into his embrace. Sensing what he was aiming for, she cooperatively raised her head to look at him. Their gazes met. Then, one leaned down while the other stood on tiptoes. They kissed each other gently, their movements natural.
Their kiss was so wild and passionate that Josephine could hardly control herself. Likewise, Ethan’s breathing became rough and heavy. Ever since meeting her, he had. practically become a saint. His desire was often aroused by her, only to be forcefully suppressed by him.
“In that case, I will finish the renovations quickly so that we can move in together.” He held her. hand with a look of anticipation in his eyes.
Josephine was also looking forward to that day. At the thought of them living together with him in this villa, she was certain that her future would be very wonderful indeed. “Let’s go! I made a reservation at a restaurant for dinner. Ethan led Josephine downstairs by the hand.
After dinner, Josephine received a message from her mother asking her to return home tonight. She knew that her mother wanted to talk to her. After all, she suddenly brought a boyfriend home. The unexpected situation had thrown her parents into confusion. It was only natural for her to return home to comfort them and explain the situation to them.
