He called his assistant over. “Call Josephine over. | want to talk to her.” When Josephine received the call from Atticus’ assistant, she was a little puzzled. Why did Mr. Kowalski suddenly want to talk to me? With a lot of questions in her mind, she went up to the director's office. As soon as she entered, she saw the usually serious Atticus smiling at her and greeting her, “Hi, Josephine! Con in.” “Is there something you need from me, Mr. Kowalski?” “Have a sit. There's something | want to talk to you about.” Atticus pointed to the couch and sat himself down as well. He looked like he had becten years younger, and even the bald spot in the middle of his head seemed livelier. After she sat down, she couldn't help feeling nervous. “What is it, Mr. Kowalski?” “Well, Josephine, can you first tellwhat kind of relationship you have with Mr. Quarles?” At once, she becspeechless. Why is everyone askingthis question today? Even Mr. Kowalski? What kind of relationship could | have with Ethan? Aren't we just acquaintances? “We're just acquaintances.” She smiled.
“Mr. Quarles is pursuing you, isn’t he?” Hearing that, her face flushed, and she quickly waved her hand. “No, no.
There’s nothing like that.” However, Atticus looked at Josephine very seriously and said, “Tellthe truth, Josephine. Are you two dating? This is very important.” Her heart skipped a beat, and then she told the truth, “We're really not. We're just friends who have had a meal or two together.” “So, Mr. Quarles is pursuing you then!” “I...I'm not sure about that.” She didn’t dare simply answer this question.
If the answer was no, she would only embarrass herself.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt this moment, Atticus scrutinized her face with sharp eyes. In his eyes, she was a pretty and energetic young girl, and it was not surprising that Ethan would pursue her. Josephine was getting uncomfortable being scrutinized by him, so she forced a smile and asked, «mrEwalski, is Mr. Quarles your guest?” “Aren’t you guys close? You should know what he’s here for.” He didn’t answer her directly. When she heard his reply, she chuckled awkwardly. “I was just asking.” “Get off work at 3.00PM later. Go hearly and dress yourself up. | have a social engagement for you tonight.” At once, her brain went blank for a few seconds. What kind of social engagement requiresto dress up? I'm just a small reporter. I don’t think | need to be there even if there is an important social engagement. After all, our company has several well-known female anchors with good looks and figures! “Or... you don’t have to go home. Instead, go to the dress shop next door. I'll call them and ask them to dress you up.” “I don’t think that’s necessary, Mr. Kowalski.” “It is necessary, absolutely necessary. You can go now.” After saying that, Atticus waved his hand to dismiss her.
Perturbed, she left the office, still unable to understand why she was being asked to attend a social engagement.
Shortly after she left the office, Katrina cin and asked directly, “Atticus, who was that handsman in the conference room with you just now?” After a chuckle, he asked, “Why? You're interested in him?” “I'm already at that age to marry, Atticus. Ivanka keeps asking you to introduceto someone. Can't you introduce that handsman to me?” she said with a hopeful face.
Atticus looked at his sister-in-law’s face, which was quite pretty, but someone as wealthy as Ethan was out of her league. “It’s not that | don’t want to introduce him to you, Kat, but the gap between your status and that of Mr.
Quarles is too great.” “Don’t underestimate me, Atticus. Just introduce him to me.” She persisted. “Alright, here’s what | can do. We have a banquet among the high-level executives tonight, and Mr. Quarles will be there too. You can calong.
That's the most | can do. To capture his heart, you'll have to show him what you've got.”
