NovelEnglishFinally, Ethan's car arrived at the final destination. It was a private restaurant where he
originally wanted to invite her to dinner. Alas, she rejected his offer to have dinner
together. By now, it was almost 9.00PM, and of course, Ethan hadn't eaten enough
because he wasn’t used to the food at the barbeque place.
Josephine, on the other hand, wasn’t full either from the dinner earlier on. Since Ethan
brought her to the restaurant, she sat down and ordered. Fine dining was in a league
of its own due to its beautiful plating and the expensive fresh ingredients used for the
dish. Given her salary, Josephine couldn't afford to eat this kind of food, so on that
evening, she was lucky enough to enjoy a delicious dinner.
The restaurant was located at a high enough location that one could admire the
beautiful scenery along the river. After Josephine had eaten enough, she stood there
while admiring the scenery. After a while, she suddenly felt a hand grabbing her from
behind her. The next moment, she noticed Ethan walking over, and his slender arm
directly pulled her toward him while her body was against the railing.

Josephine got nervous. Why is he trying to be so intimate?We aren't at this stage yet!
She could smell the faint smell of sandalwood from his body, making her heart pound.
She wasn't sure if she was dizzy from overeating or if it was because of his presence.
In any case, Josephine felt it was tto go back.
“Mr. Quarles, it’s late. | should go back.” As soon as Josephine finished speaking, she
turned around and pushed his arm away before walking out of his encirclement.
Noticing that Ethan smiled and picked up his car keys. “Okay, I'll send you home.”
“It's alright. | can easily take a cab from here, so | don’t want to trouble you.” Just as
Josephine finished speaking, she picked up her bag and left the private room.
Suddenly, Ethan followed her into the elevator as he couldn't let her take a cab home
alone that late at night. When Josephine saw him follow her into the lift, she thanked
him. “Thank you for treatingto dinner tonight.”
“You just treatedto a meal too, didn’t you?” he replied. Hearing that, Josephine
couldn't help but laugh as just a cup of tea at the restaurant cost as much as what he
ate in a barbeque restaurant!
When they arrived at the parking lot downstairs, Josephine was about to take a cab
home, but Ethan had already domineeringly grabbed her hand and taken her to his
car. She was stunned for a few seconds and had no choice but to let him take her
home. On the way home, Ethan turned on the music, and the atmosphere in the car
was very relaxed, Unexpectedly, he could take her hwithout her having to give
him directions.
When they reached, Josephine got out of the car and waved at him. “Drive slowly.
See you.” “As you say, we will definitely see each other again.” Ethan looked deeply
into her eyes and smiled.
Josephine’s face flushed slightly. Isn't ‘see you’ just a common phrase? He was taking
it too literally. “Drive slowly.” Josephine had to repeat herself. As she watched him
drive away, she heaved a sigh of relief and felt relaxed.
As soon as she entered her house with her bag in her hand, she saw her mother
cleaning the hallway. Noticing her, Heidi looked up at her and asked curiously, “Why
are you back so late?”

Just as Josephine was about to brush it off, Heidi immediately smelled the odor on her
and said, “You reek of barbeque. Change into sclean clothes and get them
washed.”
Josephine’s face flushed slightly as she quickly sniffed her body and hair. Ah! She
smelled of barbeque. Instantly, a question popped up in her mind. Did Ethan also
smell it? Did he mind it? With that, Josephine went upstairs, took a shower, and
prepared herself mentally to welcthe new day with a positive attitude, even
though she didn’t want to go to work at all.
However, she couldn't fall asleep in bed. She wasn’t reminiscing about her vacation,
but rather, her mind was filled with the image of Ethan that she couldn't shake off.
When she closed her eyes, she would either imagine his kiss, his smile, or his figure.
As a result, she couldn't fall asleep until two in the morning when she finally dozed off
slowly. Just as she was about to get into a deep sleep, her alarm clock rang
incessantly. Josephine. drowsily reached out and turned it off. After that, she went
back to sleep again.
