Josephine heard this statement, thinking it was tant moral ckmail. She looked at Ivanka and said,


    ‘Mrs. Kowalski, if you want my boyfriend and your husband to maintain a working rtionship, it’s


    important to separate thepany matters from personal issues. Let’s keep them separate and not let


    personal grievances interfere.”


    Ivanka pointed at the pile of gifts in front of her and said, “I spent over three hundred thousand on these


    gifts just to apologize to you. Can’t you show some understanding and spare my sister?”


    Josephine noticed the change in her attitude, from apologizing to me-shifting. She even suspected


    that Ivanka and Katrina were colluding, so Ivanka might have yed a role in framing her.


    “Mrs. Kowalski, I think it would be best if you leave now. Let’s avoid escting things further.”


    Josephine gestured toward the door, indicating her desire for Ivanka to depart.


    Ivanka awkwardly picked up the gifts and left. As she walked out, she nced back at Josephine’s


    office. Josephine sat down on the couch and picked up her phone to send a message to Ethan. ‘What


    are you up to? Do you miss me?’


    ‘Currently in a meeting, but thinking of you.” Apparently, he was unaware of what had happened to


    Josephine. Josephine breathed a sigh of relief. Her pictures had been deleted, and they couldn’t be


    found on the Inte anymore. ‘When are you leaving for the Arctic?”


    Afternoon flight. There might not be a good signal once I arrive at the Arctic, so I won’t be able to stay


    in constant contact with you.” ‘That’s fine! Just asionalmunication is enough. Josephine


    reassured him.


    ‘After the meeting, I’ll video chat with youter.” ‘Okay, you go ahead and focus on your work’ She


    didn’t want to disturb him any longer as he surely had a lot of tasks to handle.


    She was going to have dinner with her family that night. It took her some time to adjust to not having


    Ethan around. Oftentimes, she would have trouble falling asleep and would reach out beside her in her


    dreams, only to find an empty space. It would wake her up, and then she would spend the night flipping


    through photos, reminiscing about everything that happened between them.


    After the bout of intense longing, she would restrain herself as she looked forward to the day they


    reunited.


    Josephine didn’t n to tell him about the injustice she had suffered. She worried that the situation


    would deeply upset him, to the extent. that he might lose his appetite.


    Katrina’s family was making various efforts to help her, but no matter what connections they used, it all


    proved futile. Katrina’s case was too sensitive, and no one dared to touch it or offer assistance, which


    meant that she would inevitably pay the price for her actions.


    At 9.30PM, Josephine got into bed after taking a shower, and a video call from a certain man came


    through. She answered the call and saw the man on the other side wearing a ck shirt and a suit with


    a tie. He looked very formal, and the background showed a view of clouds, indicating that he was in a


    high-rise building.


    The man’s deep and clear amber eyes in the video stared at her with a charming smile. Before she


    could say anything, she was captivated by the man’s smile. She couldn’t even bring herself to speak


    and just admired his handsome looks.


    “Why aren’t you saying anything?” the man asked. He thought she would have endless things to say to


    him. Indeed, Josephine had a thousand words to say, but when they finally had a video meeting, she


    realized that her mouth had gone dumb, and she didn’t know what to say anymore. “I read all your


    news. It’s fantastic,” the man said in a deep voice. Josephine’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly


    asked, “Do you read news from here?”


    “Well, due to my busy schedule, I only read your news,” the man replied. Josephine couldn’t help but


    breathe a sigh of relief. It was a good thing that he wouldn’t be reading news from other sources. That


    way, he wouldn’t find out about her situation.

    “Are you busy over there? Besides work, do you have any leisure activities?” “I y golf with my dad,


    work out, and focus on my job. Once things settle down here, I’ll bring you over for a vacation.”


    Her face lit up with excitement. “That sounds great! In that case, I’ll make sure thepany prepares a


    sessor for me. When I have some free time, I’ll take a leave.”
