Furthermore, who can be sure that they didn’t go to a hotel that night?” Katrina sounded so convincing that. she could have almost provided evidence that Tori and Ethan had slept together.
In the meantime, Josephine leaned against the pillar, looking pale after listening to everything that Katrina said.

Do you think he'll lie about this?” “If it cfrom Mr. Kowalski personally, then it must be true! Josephine is still in the dark about this, right?” “We'll keep it from her and let her be in the dark because she deserves this!” Katrina said, dragging her colleague away. “Let's go! We'll just wait for the day when Josephine gets dumped. Before stepping out of the pantry, a vicious and victorious sneer spread across her face.
When Wren cin to make a cup of tea, she saw Josephine paralyzed and in a daze. She didn’t even raise her head when she walked in. “What's on your mind, Joey? Isn't your coffee ready?” Only then did Josephine jerk her head around. She hung her head and kept blinking because tears had started welling up in her eyes without her realizing it. Hurriedly, she spun around to check on her coffee, avoiding Wren’s gaze at the stime.

Checking the time, Josephine saw that it was 2.35PM and asked, “What tdoes it start?” “2.30PM, so you're already late. Go now!” Wren urged.
Picking up a notebook and a pen she would need for the meeting, she then dashed for the elevators and sighed heavily after she stepped into one. Should | verify this thing with Ethan? she asked herself. Although she believed in him, she couldn’t stop her imagination from running wild when there was no evidence to prove otherwise.
