“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 you later.”
Ethan checked the time and realized that Josephine had awoken half an hour earlier. He intended to send her off,
but his alarm 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 blanket, 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 to compensate me for that?”
All sorts of images flashed across Josephine’s mind. Compensate? What does he mean by this? Just as she was

said, “You can go now.”
Josephine’s face turned completely 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 the company, 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 the company. 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 my company,” 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 restaurant later, simply find an excuse and tell him Josephine is not in
the company.”
“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 declared arrogantly. She was
now the most famous newscaster in the company, 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 to later. 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 a company. Many reporters were dispatched previously to conduct interviews on the
same issue, but none were successful. Hence, it was now Josephine’s turn.

Josephine quickly coordinated with the photography department and arranged for the company’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 accept interviews.”
“But the pollutants in your company’s discharge. far exceed the legal limit! We’ve come to seek clarification 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 the
company’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.”
