That made her heart skip a beat. “Hi, Mr. Quarles.” She smiled and waved at him. “Is it convenient to
visit yourpany?” Ethan suddenly opened the car door and got out. Josephine didn’t dare to bring
him around in thepany, so she politely said, “It is not convenient since it’s office hours now. But
there is a coffee shop next door. We can go there.”
“Ok.” Ethan raised his eyebrows and got out of the car. Josephine was dressed in workwear today. She
had a slim-fit suit jacket and pants on, which showcased her attractive figure.
With that, Josephine led him into the cafe and they chose a seat next to the window. Josephine then
asked him what coffee he wanted. “Just give me whatever vor you like!” Ethan said. He wasn’t being
picky and chose to have her favorite drink.
She ordered two cups of regr coffee and sat down. She smiled and asked Ethan, who was sitting in
front of her, “Mr. Quarles, your job seems to be flexible!”
“Yes, I can work as long as I have aptop with me. I don’t need a fixed office location.” Ethan nodded
and mentioned. Josephine knew she shouldn’t envy the flexibility that he had because he was the
business owner. Only business owners had such freedom. Just then, Josephine’s phone rang and she
answered it, “Hello?”
“Josephine, where are you? Come back to your seat soon. There’s still a pile of videos to be edited. I
need them before the end of the day.” Katrina’s voice could be heard from the other end.
“It’s lunchtime now and I have the right to take a break,” Josephine replied. “I’m just reminding you so
that you can get it done by this afternoon,” Katrina said and hung up.
Josephine sighed in frustration, and Ethan could tell from her phone call and expression that she was
clearly having a tough time at work. “Are you having any difficulties at work?” Ethan asked her as he
picked up his coffee mug.Original from N?velDrama.Org.
Josephine lifted up the mug of coffee that was just served and took a sip. “It’s not difficulties; it’s more
of a challenge. One of the female anchors in our station is stepping down, and I want topete for
her position.”
“Do you have confidence?” Ethan asked curiously. Josephine leaned closer to him and whispered, “Of
course, but unfortunately, one of thepetitors is the director’s sister-inw. I’m afraid that there
would be nepotism, and that I wouldn’t stand a chance at all.”
Hearing that, Ethan looked at her sympathetically and softly asked, “Do you really want to be a news
anchor?” ‘I do! This is my dream.” Josephine’s eyes lit up as she spoke. “Do you need my help?” Ethan
smiled.
At first, Josephine was surprised, then she thought for a moment before refusing. “No, I don’t need it. In
terms of work, I still want to seed based on my ability and credentials. It’s gettingte and I have to
go back to work. Mr. Quarles, do you want to stay here for a while?”
Ethan smirked as he looked at her before ncing at his watch. “I have a meeting to attend soon.” “Is
that so? Then let’s end our meeting here today, and I’ll treat you to coffee next time.” Josephine smiled.
“Okay, let’s go!” Ethan said while standing up. As they walked, Josephine was being thoughtful and
opened the coffee shop door for him, which made Ethan feel like a guest. He was amused but at the
same time, he couldn’t do anything about it.
Josephine walked toward thepany building, thinking that Ethan would return to his car, but to her
surprise, he was following her. “Mr. Quarles, your car is over there,” Josephine thought he had
forgotten where he had parked and kindly reminded him.
Hearing that, Ethan smiled and pointed to herpany’s entrance, Tm going inside for a meeting”
Josephine was stunned upon hearing that. The entire building was theirpany’s office area. Is he
here to discuss a coboration?
She pointed to herpany building and asked, “You areing to mypany for a meeting?” “Mm-
hmm!” Ethan replied in a very deep and sexy voice.
