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.

want this matter to be reported any longer..
Josephine, however, did not leave. Another security guard becagitated 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.”
