convenient to visit your company?” Ethan suddenly opened the car door and got out.
Josephine didn’t dare to bring him around in the company, so she politely said, “It is
not convenient since it’s office hours now. But there is a coffee shop next door. We
can go there.”
“Ok.” Ethan raised his eyebrows and got out of the car. Josephine was dressed in
workwear today. She had a slim-fit suit jacket and pants on, which showcased her
attractive figure.
With that, Josephine led him into the cafe and they chose a seat next to the window.
Josephine then asked him what coffee he wanted. “Just givewhatever flavor you
like!” Ethan said. He wasn’t being picky and chose to have her favorite drink.
She ordered two cups of regular coffee and sat down. She smiled and asked Ethan,
who was sitting in front of her, “Mr. Quarles, your job seems to be flexible!”

“Yes, | can work as long as | have a laptop with me. | don’t need a fixed office
location.” Ethan nodded and mentioned. Josephine knew she shouldn't envy the
flexibility that he had because he was the business owner. Only business owners had
such freedom. Just then, Josephine’s phone rang and she answered it, “Hello?”
“Josephine, where are you? Cback to your seat soon. There's still a pile of videos
to be edited. | need them before the end of the day.” Katrina's voice could be heard
from the other end.
“It's lunchtnow and | have the right to take a break,” Josephine replied. “I'm just
reminding you so that you can get it done by this afternoon,” Katrina said and hung
up.
Josephine sighed in frustration, and Ethan could tell from her phone call and
expression that she was clearly having a tough tat work. “Are you having any
difficulties at work?” Ethan asked her as he picked up his coffee mug.
Josephine lifted up the mug of coffee that was just served and took a sip. “It’s not
difficulties; it's more of a challenge. One of the female anchors in our station is
stepping down, and | want to compete for her position.”
“Do you have confidence?” Ethan asked curiously. Josephine leaned closer to him
and whispered, “Of course, but unfortunately, one of the competitors is the director's
sister-in-law. I'm afraid that there would be nepotism, and that | wouldn't stand a
chance at all.”
Hearing that, Ethan looked at her sympathetically and softly asked, “Do you really
want to be a news anchor?” ‘I do! This is my dream.” Josephine’s eyes lit up as she
spoke. “Do you need my help?” Ethan smiled.
At first, Josephine was surprised, then she thought for a moment before refusing. “No,
| don’t need it. In terms of work, | still want to succeed based on my ability and
credentials. It's getting late and | have to go back to work. Mr. Quarles, do you want to
stay here for a while?”

Ethan smirked as he looked at her before glancing at his watch. “I have a meeting to
attend soon.” “Is that so? Then let's end our meeting here today, and I'll treat you to
coffee next time.” Josephine smiled.
“Okay, let's go!” Ethan said while standing up. As they walked, Josephine was being
thoughtful and opened the coffee shop door for him, which made Ethan feel like a
guest. He was amused but at the stime, he couldn't do anything about it.
Josephine walked toward the company building, thinking that Ethan would return to
his car, but to her surprise, he was following her. “Mr. Quarles, your car is over there,”
Josephine thought he had forgotten where he had parked and kindly reminded him.
Hearing that, Ethan smiled and pointed to her company’s entrance, Tm going inside
for a meeting” Josephine was stunned upon hearing that. The entire building was their
company’s office area. Is he here to discuss a collaboration?
She pointed to her company building and asked, “You are coming to my company for
a meeting?” “Mm-hmm!” Ethan replied in a very deep and sexy voice.
