NovelEnglish“Don’t complicate matters, Dad! W-We just started dating. Josephine was worried that her father and grandfather would force
Ethan to be responsible for her the first tthey met him. “Okay! Let's meet tonight.”
“I'll check with him first and find out if he’s free.” Then, she ended the call with her father and dialed Ethan's number. “Hello!”
Ethan answered in his deep voice.
“My dad is back and we're going to my grandfather's place for dinner as a family. I... | would like to invite you.... If you're free, that
is?” “Sure thing! I'm free,” Ethan replied with a smile.
“Of course, it's not a problem as well if you don’t want to go. | just... We're just having a meal together, that's all.” Josephine didn’t
want to push him into coming, either. However, he felt that there was a need to meet her family, so he stated, “It's about tthat
| visit your family.”
“Okay. We'll meet after work, then,” she said and started feeling nervous after hanging up. Will Grandpa and Dad be happy with
At that moment, a voice coming from behind the pillar next to her broke her chain of thoughts. “Have you heard? Miss Alford is
going to be one of the interviewers this time! Someone toldthat she’s very strict!”
“Yes, | just heard about this. With her on the panel, who will ace this interview? She'll definitely create all sorts of difficult
situations.”
Josephine’s heart skipped a beat. Known for her arrogance in the company, Tori Alford was not a friendly or approachable person.
Josephine was about to get a headache just from worrying about that.
Right before she knocked off from work, her phone started ringing. Grabbing her phone, she saw that it was an unknown number.
However, she picked up the call.
“Hello, who is this?”
“Hi, is this Miss Jacobson?” the male caller with a hoarse voice asked. “Yes, it's me. May | ask who is on the line?”
“It's me! Did you forgetbecause you're too busy? I'm the vice president of Vital Corp., the man who asked for your number
today!” “Oh, | remember now! Hello, sir. When are you free for an interview?” Josephine asked anxiously.
“I'll be away on a business trip for the next three days. We can schedule a tonce I'm back.” “Great! Let's pick a tfor the
interview once you're back, then.”
“Sure, Miss Jacobson.” It was rather obvious that the man on the other end of the line still didn’t want to hang up, but Josephine
was in a rush to get off work. And so, she said, ‘I'm sorry, but I'm about to get off work. We'll schedule a tlater. Goodbye.”
After she hung up, she hurried to the elevators and accidentally bumped into a person when she turned a corner.
“Ow!” Coincidentally, the person she walked right into was Katrina, who had a bad day because of Ethan. She pulled a long face at
the sight of Josephine. “You're doing this on purpose, aren't you, Josephine?”

“I'm sorry! It was an accident,” Josephine apologized. “I don’t think so. You just look down on everyone because Mr. Quarles has
your back now!” Katrina yelled in anger.
Feeling rather speechless, Josephine reckoned that there was nothing she could do if Katrina wanted to put it that way. Instead, she
rushed to the elevators, leaving Katrina behind to stomp her feet furiously. “Don’t be so smug now, Jacobson. Let's wait and see
how you end up later!”
The second Josephine left the building, she saw Ethan waiting for her in the sportscar. Pulling the door open, she then climbed in
and heard him say with a smile, “Thanks for the hard work.”
“l don’t think it’s hard, working for you,” she said mischievously. “Would you like to take the position of the lady boss right away
and stop working for me?” he asked, planning to promote her status. Josephine couldn't stop herself from giggling.
“Okay, letthink about it,” she said with anticipation. Reaching out, Ethan ran his fingers through her hair. Although it had only
been a few hours since he last saw her, he felt that he had missed out on so much already.
“Let's go! My parents are waiting for us at home,” Josephine murmured. While driving, Ethan commented, “| sent someone to buy
sgifts, but | don’t know what your grandfather likes. | just picked out a few things.”
