After the duo had left the room and entered the elevator, Josephine felt Ethan hold her hand casually.
She didn’t take her hand out. Now that she had sobered up, she was in disbelief and dared not to look
at him.
After they got into the car, Ethan turned on some music for her to rx. As Josephine looked at the
lively night street, she felt something different. It felt like… They were in love.
After some time, Ethan arrived at Josephine’s home. Just as Josephine was about to exit the car,
Ethan suddenly leaned toward her and held her hand. “Are you in need of a boyfriend, Miss
Jacobson?”
Josephine was shocked. At that moment, she recalled their kiss just now and thought, is he taking
advantage of the kiss to court me? Thinking about it, she quickly said, “I’m still dizzy from the alcohol,
Mr. Quarles. Can we talk about this tomorrow?”
Ethan knew what she was nning. “Is this a hit and run, Miss Jacobson?” Josephine was
embarrassed. After all, he seemed to be implying that she was a ygirl. She wasn’t, though! She was
unprepared as she had never expected such a thing to happen tonight!
“I’m dizzy, Mr. Quarles. I need to get home now. Goodbye, and drive safe.” As Josephine spoke, she
quickly exited the car and closed the door. Then, she hurried into her house and stood by the bushes,
looking at the car from the gaps as it slowly drove away. She sighed and rubbed her lips. God, it must
have been swollen, she thought. When she entered the living room, she quickly said to Heidi, who was
watching the television, “I’m exhausted, Mom. I’m going to go upstairs.”
“You should havee home sooner if you are exhausted,” replied Heidi. However, she didn’t ask
anything more and continued watching the TV.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.
After Josephine entered her room, she quickly rushed to the bathroom. Looking at the mirror, she saw
that her face was flushed, and her lips were rosy red even though she had no lipstick on. It was
obvious that it was because of the kiss.
“This is so embarrassing.” Josephine buried her face in her hands. Ethan would be her boss, and they
would encounter each other in thepany. Yet, she did such intimate things with him.
Josephine was indeed exhausted. After taking a bath, she went to sleep and had a dreamless night.
The following day, she went to thepany as usual. However, before stepping into the
building, she heard someone call out to her. “It’s me, Joey.” Josephine turned around and saw Luke
waving at her by the entrance. There was also a cardboard box by his side, seemingly to have
something expensive inside. “Come over here and open it, Joey. You’ll be surprised,” said Luke. “What
is it?” asked Josephine.
“You’ll know once you open it! I’m going to take a call. Hurry up and open it.” Josephine felt speechless
when she saw that Luke had told his assistant to record the moment of her being touched by his gift.
“Not now. I need to clock in,” she said to him.
“No, no, no. Just open it, Josephine. I put so much effort into this.” Luke pleaded. He reached out and
stopped her from entering thepany.
Josephine had seen how clingy he would get. If she refused to open this present, she knew he would
bring it to her office and ask her to open it. Thus, she decided to open the gift immediately to stop him
from disturbing her colleagues. “You’ll let me go to work as long as I open it, right?” she asked.
“Yes. As long as you open it, I will not disturb you,” Luke said confidently. After thinking momentarily,
Josephine walked toward the purple box while Luke stood aside and made a phone call.
Josephine crouched and untied the ribbon. When she opened the box, she saw that it was filled with
balloons. Moreover, they seemed to be helium balloons.
After she had opened the box, she allowed the balloons to fly toward the sky. Beside her, the assistant
quickly shouted, “Miss Jacobson! Grab the balloon! Grab it!”
