Josephine arched her brows in amusement. “It really wasn’t me.” “Then you must’ve shown him the messages.”
“Of course! He was sitting next to me during that time. Since he asked to read the messages, I saw no point in
hiding them,” Josephine answered.
“I assume you’re the one pursuing Mr. Quarles and not the other way around. You’re quite shameless, aren’t you?
You must’ve used dirty tricks to seduce him!” Katrina accused with her arms crossed.
At this point, only by witnessing displays of affection between Ethan and Josephine would Katrina finally accept the
fact that the couple had indeed gotten together. Josephine chuckled at Katrina’s attempt to accuse her. “Does it
matter? We are dating, anyway. Does it answer your question?”
“Listen, I don’t mean to sound discouraging, but you’re not the woman for a man like him. Mr. Quarles is a popular
man, and women won’t hesitate to throw themselves at him. Besides, people nowadays are driven by lust and don’t
care about loyalty. What if a prettier woman with a stronger personality catches his eye? He would forget about

Josephine paused for a moment before turning around to face Katrina. “It’s none of your business.” However,
Katrina knew not when to stop.
“What if he’s talking to a pretty woman at the moment? What if they exchange numbers for the convenience of a
little rendezvous?” she continued. She was confident that her words would make Josephine uncomfortable.
Her guess was right. Ethan was out house- hunting at the moment, and the female realtors were good-looking and
adept at taking the initiative. Thus, they wouldn’t hesitate to jump at the chance when they met Ethan. Josephine
exhaled and muttered, “Don’t you have better things to do?”
Katrina harrumphed at that. “It’s for your own good, Josephine. We are more alike than you think. A man like Ethan
is out of our league. I don’t want to see you become his plaything. which he abandons once he gets tired. When
that time comes, a heartbroken mess is all you are.”
Katrina was getting on Josephine’s nerves with the negative speech. Seeing no point in tolerating Katrina’s
nonsense, Josephine turned around and growled, “Enough!”
The corner of Katrina’s lips curled into a sneer. “How ungrateful of you! Fine, then. One day, you’ll regret not
listening to my words! After that, Katrina left. Even so, the words left a bitter taste at the back of Josephine’s throat.
Dealing with people like her is exhausting. There’s no way I can be happy talking to her.
Just as she returned to her seat, the phone she left on the table buzzed, notifying her of a new message. Wren
reminded her, “Someone called you a moment ago. You might need to get back to them.”
Josephine grabbed her phone and unlocked it. The message was from Ethan. He had sent her the villa’s address
and a video of its exterior before asking for her opinion. ‘The villa is located near your company, so I decided to buy
it. What do you think?’
Josephine gaped at the address Ethan sent her. The price of detached villas around that area starts at 30 million.
The one Ethan has eyes on must be worth more than that!
She swallowed nervously and sent him a reply, ‘You don’t have to buy it for my convenience. Choose somewhere
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyou like instead.” As soon as she sent that, he called her. She quickly walked away from her seat and went to the
corridor so that nobody would disturb her. She answered the call. “Hello?”
Ethan’s low voice reached her. “I like this place, so I bought it.” Josephine laughed quietly when she heard such
words. I can’t believe I forgot his ability to buy things. Even though the villa is expensive for me, he doesn’t share
the same worry.
“All right. I’m glad you’re happy,” she replied with a smile. “I’ll try my best to move in within one week.” Ethan then
added, “By the way, I’ve discussed the matter with the executives. You were promised the position of a news
anchor.”
Josephine’s mind went blank at his words. He’s even giving me that?! To be honest, I want to earn it myself. But
Ethan’s proposition changed a few things. I don’t think I deserve it.
“I-I want to fight for it myself. I want to prove myself worthy.” Josephine refused to depend on Ethan. She didn’t
want such an exception just because she was his girlfriend.
Even if it’s silly to let my chance slip. His low chuckle came from the other side of the phone. “All right. We’ll go
through with the procedure. However, I’m confident that the position will eventually be yours.”
