Finally, Ethan’s car arrived at the final destination. It was a private restaurant where he originally


    wanted to invite her to dinner. s, she rejected his offer to have dinner together. By now, it was


    almost 9.00PM, and of course, Ethan hadn’t eaten enough because he wasn’t used to the food at the


    barbeque ce.


    Josephine, on the other hand, wasn’t full either from the dinner earlier on. Since Ethan brought her to


    the restaurant, she sat down and ordered. Fine dining was in a league of its own due to its beautiful


    ting and the expensive fresh ingredients used for the dish. Given her sry, Josephine couldn’t


    afford to eat this kind of food, so on that evening, she was lucky enough to enjoy a delicious dinner.


    The restaurant was located at a high enough location that one could admire the beautiful scenery along


    the river. After Josephine had eaten enough, she stood there while admiring the scenery. After a while,


    she suddenly felt a hand grabbing her from behind her. The next moment, she noticed Ethan walking


    over, and his slender arm directly pulled her toward him while her body was against the railing.


    Josephine got nervous. Why is he trying to be so intimate?We aren’t at this stage yet! She could smell


    the faint smell of sandalwood from his body, making her heart pound. She wasn’t sure if she was dizzy


    from overeating or if it was because of his presence. In any case, Josephine felt it was time to go back.


    “Mr. Quarles, it’ste. I should go back.” As soon as Josephine finished speaking, she turned around


    and pushed his arm away before walking out of his encirclement. Noticing that Ethan smiled and picked


    up his car keys. “Okay, I’ll send you home.”


    “It’s alright. I can easily take a cab from here, so I don’t want to trouble you.” Just as Josephine finished


    speaking, she picked up her bag and left the private room.


    Suddenly, Ethan followed her into the elevator as he couldn’t let her take a cab home alone thatte at


    night. When Josephine saw him follow her into the lift, she thanked him. “Thank you for treating me to


    dinner tonight.”


    “You just treated me to a meal too, didn’t you?” he replied. Hearing that, Josephine couldn’t help but


    laugh as just a cup of tea at the restaurant cost as much as what he ate in a barbeque restaurant!


    When they arrived at the parking lot downstairs, Josephine was about to take a cab home, but Ethan


    had already domineeringly grabbed her hand and taken her to his car. She was stunned for a few


    seconds and had no choice but to let him take her home. On the way home, Ethan turned on the


    music, and the atmosphere in the car was very rxed, Unexpectedly, he could take her home without


    her having to give him directions.


    When they reached, Josephine got out of the car and waved at him. “Drive slowly. See you.” “As you


    say, we will definitely see each other again.” Ethan looked deeply into her eyes and smiled.


    Josephine’s face flushed slightly. Isn’t ‘see you’ just amon phrase? He was taking it too literally.


    “Drive slowly.” Josephine had to repeat herself. As she watched him drive away, she heaved a sigh of


    relief and felt rxed.


    As soon as she entered her house with her bag in her hand, she saw her mother cleaning the hallway.


    Noticing her, Heidi looked up at her and asked curiously, “Why are you back sote?”

    Just as Josephine was about to brush it off, Heidi immediately smelled the odor on her and said, “You


    reek of barbeque. Change into some clean clothes and get them washed.”


    Josephine’s face flushed slightly as she quickly sniffed her body and hair. Ah! She smelled of


    barbeque. Instantly, a question popped up in her mind. Did Ethan also smell it? Did he mind it? With


    that, Josephine went upstairs, took a shower, and prepared herself mentally to wee the new day


    with a positive attitude, even though she didn’t want to go to work at all.


    However, she couldn’t fall asleep in bed. She wasn’t reminiscing about her vacation, but rather, her


    mind was filled with the image of Ethan that she couldn’t shake off. When she closed her eyes, she


    would either imagine his kiss, his smile, or his figure.


    As a result, she couldn’t fall asleep until two in the morning when she finally dozed off slowly. Just as


    she was about to get into a deep sleep, her rm clock rang incessantly. Josephine. drowsily reached


    out and turned it off. After that, she went back to sleep again.
