Although Josephine had several run-ins with overbearing people, she had never met one such as Ethan, who was
completely unreasonable. ‘Return it! My car still works, and I don’t need a sports car,” she huffed as she bit her lip.
Ethan merely smirked as he shrugged. gracefully. “Oh, it’s fine. A sports car isn’t a big. deal to me. Plus, if you
refuse to use it, I’ll just let it park at that spot until it’s covered in dust.”
Josephine’s eyelashes fluttered as she caught sight of his pearly whites and felt her heart. racing. This man can
truly sway hearts with his smile! Just then, her phone started ringing, and she saw that it was Luke calling her. So,
she hastily scrambled to the window and picked up the call. “Hi, Luke.”
‘Joey, I’ve made a reservation in a restaurant tonight. I’ll pick you up after work later,” he said over the phone.
“Okay.” Since she had promised to buy him at meal, she readily agreed as she didn’t see a need to bail on him.
However, there was one thing-she had decided to make things clear to Luke that they could only ever be friends.

Still, he had been wooing her aggressively for the past year. Therefore, she reckoned that he might not give up so
easily if she simply rejected him verbally. If she let him know that her heart belonged to someone else and that she
already had someone she loved, he might finally cease pursuing her.
The person who can make Luke give up must be more outstanding, better looking, and richer than him, she
thought, and there was only one person around her who checked all the boxes. So, she turned her attention back to
the person on the couch, paced toward him, and asked, “Mr. Quarles, are you free tonight?” He arched his brows.
“Yep!”
“Will you do me a favor?” she asked, her eyes. filled with utmost sincerity. “Tell me.” To her surprise, he seemed
very willing. ‘I would like you to pose as my boyfriend and make Luke give up on me,” she said. After he heard that,
he became excited, and a look of delight flashed in his eyes. “Okay, no problem.”
When she saw that he was so happy to help. she breathed a sigh of relief and truly hoped that Luke would come to
his senses today. That way he would not waste his youth on her. “Mr. Quarles, I’ll be going back to work and will call
you after work.”
“Sure, go ahead!” Ethan didn’t want to bother her at work anymore. Unfortunately, just when she returned. to her
desk, a commotion started in the group chat. Someone posted some pictures they had taken at the basement
parking lot. Under the lighting, an eye-catching red Ferrari with its bright, glossy paint was parked there, marveling
everyone with its price. “My god, whose car is that standing in the VIP parking spot?’
“It’s so cool! I think it costs at least seven figures.’ ‘Who does it belong to? Will someone in the group tell me who
this wealthy woman is?’
Wren was in on it as well, so she turned to Josephine next to her and whispered enthusiastically, “Joey, do you know
whose Ferrari is that? Just look at what a commotion it is causing in the group.”
Josephine felt white noise filling her brain as she stared at that sports car displayed on the iPad in utter
astonishment. Is this the car Ethan bought for me? It’s parked on the VIP spot and brand new to boot.

“I’m so envious! I wonder which wealthy man gave it as a gift. Could it belong to Tori? She has had many suitors
recently, and I heard that they’re all rich businessmen.”
As Tori was a renowned host in the company, she was beautiful, talented, and also single. Thus, she was everyone’s
first guess. Yet, she suddenly blurted, “It’s not mine.”
“Goodness! Whose could it be if not Tori’s?” Immediately, Wren became more interested in the topic. While
Josephine was feeling her face burning in embarrassment, an assistant placed a paper bag on her desk. “Josephine,
someone told me to pass this to you.”
A stunned Josephine couldn’t tell what was in the bag from the outside. When she picked it up and peered in, she
could feel her scalp numbing from the shock. Just as she feared, there was a box with the Ferrari logo emblemed
on it. Then, as she shakily opened the box in the paper bag, she found the car key laying silently within.
