“You don’t have to send me off. My friend will be picking me up. Go back to sleep, hmm?” Josephine


    kissed Ethan on the cheek and added, ‘I’ll contact youter.”


    Ethan checked the time and realized that Josephine had awoken half an hour earlier. He intended to


    send her off, but his rm hadn’t gone off. Seeing that she was leaving, he suddenly reached out his


    hand and held onto her.


    Josephine was dressed professionally, giving her the appearance of being both elegant and capable.


    Ethan really didn’t want to let her leave like this.


    She fell on Ethan’s nket, her face flushed. “What are you doing?” she coquettishly murmured as she


    fluffed her long hair. “I miss you! I’ve missed you all night,” Ethan said, blinking his eyes pitifully as if he


    were an aggrieved child. ‘Are you not going topensate me for that?”


    All sorts of images shed across Josephine’s mind. Compensate? What does he mean by this? Just


    as she was having impure thoughts, the man sat up and drew her into his embrace. Then, he gave her


    a peck on the neck and said, “You can go now.”


    Josephine’s face turnedpletely red. Fine. I’m overthinking! She then dashed out the door so that


    Ethan wouldn’t notice her flushed cheeks. Truth was, Josephine didn’t have any friends to pick her up,


    so she hailed a cab instead. After reaching thepany, she devoted all her attention to her work.


    Around 10.00AM, Ethan received Atticus’ call. Atticus asked Ethan if they could meet for lunch because


    he had some job matters to report. “Okay. I’ll meet you at a restaurant near thepany. Bring


    Josephine as well.”


    “I’ll surely bring Miss Jacobson along, Atticus replied. After hanging up the phone, he looked at the


    woman sitting on the couch and stated, “Mr. Quarles asked me to bring Josephine together for lunch.”


    “Whatever for? It’s enough for him to have mypany,” Tori said as she sat with her legs. crossed.


    She had dressed up on purpose today. since she had requested that Atticus set up a meeting with


    Ethan so she could get closer to the man.


    Why should we bring Josephine along? She will only ruin my chance! “Are we not bringing Josephine


    then?” Atticus asked. “Of course not! When we reach the restaurantter, simply find an excuse and tell


    him Josephine is not in thepany.”


    “But Mr. Quarles will definitely probe.” “Fine. Send her out for some outdoor interviews. Mr. Kowalski,


    no matter what, I want to have lunch alone with Mr. Quarles today. Do you understand?” Tori dered


    arrogantly. She was now the most famous newscaster in thepany, and even Atticus had to show


    her some respect.


    Atticus went silent for a while before nodding his head. “Okay. I’ll arrange something outdoors. for


    Josephine to attend toter. I’ll also find an excuse to skip that lunch. You’re going to go by yourself!”


    Tori smiled in satisfaction when she heard that. “Thank you, Mr. Kowalski!”


    Soon after, Josephine, who was in the reporters’ office, was assigned an outdoor interview. It was


    about a wastewater treatment issue at apany. Many reporters were dispatched previously to


    conduct interviews on the same issue, but none were sessful. Hence, it was now Josephine’s turn.


    Josephine quickly coordinated with the photography department and arranged for thepany’s car to


    be in front of the main entrance by 10.30AM. She was always serious about her work.


    They arrived at the interview location at around 11.00AM. However, as they were about to enter, the


    company’s security guard arrogantly stopped them. “Get lost! We do not ept interviews.”


    “But the pollutants in yourpany’s discharge. far exceed the legal limit! We’vee to seek


    rification from the relevant department,” Josephine stated firmly.


    “That’s not the truth! There isn’t such a thing. Get lost now, or I’ll have to chase you all away forcefully.”


    The security guard had been directed by his superior to prevent any reporters from entering at all costs,


    as thepany’s upper management did not want this matter to be reported any longer..


    Josephine, however, did not leave. Another security guard became agitated and started pushing the


    videographer. Then, he turned around and pushed Josephine hard as well, causing her to lose her


    footing and fall to the ground.

    “Josephine, are you all right?” Her assistant quickly went over to support her. Josephine’s palm had


    landed on a sharp stone, resulting in a bleeding wound. However, she waved her hand and said, “I’m


    fine.”
