Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

Ethan lifted his head slightly. Josephine- immediately took the opportunity to cup his face tenderly in her hands and proactively planted a passionate kiss on his cheek. He was momentarily stunned by her actions before he instinctively wrapped his arms around her slender waist and pulled her into his embrace.. Smiling slightly, she playfully pushed him away. “I need to deliver these documents.” When she moved away from him, he reluctantly withdrew his arm. Then, he turned around and watched her retreating figure with a pining look..

This scene was not only witnessed by Katrina but also by all of Josephine’s colleagues who were in the office at that time. They had seen the natural and intimate interaction between Ethan and Josephine, as well as the look of adoration and love for Josephine in Ethan's eyes.

It was evident that Ethan loved Josephine more! Jealousy was practically overflowing from Katrina's eyes at this point. Once again, she could not understand what was so charming about Josephine.

Watching Josephine leave the room, she distractedly tidied her hair slightly. Then, she randomly picked up a document and walked. toward Josephine’s desk. Katrina innocently approached Ethan and said, “Mr. Quarles, | didn’t expect you to be here! Is Josephine away from her desk?” “She went to deliver sdocuments,” Ethan replied curtly. “Is that so? | happen to have another document for her!” she said, then she deliberately stepped to the side and continued, “In that case, I'll just wait for her here!” Standing in front of him, she occasionally tucked her hair behind her ear or pursed her lips. Her movements were filled with coquettish energy.

The rest of the female colleagues watched her flirtatious gestures with a mixture of scorn and derision. Be that as it may, Katrina brazenly. continued to flaunt her coquettish charm.

After delivering the documents, Josephine. rounded the corner and immediately caught sight of Katrina standing next to Ethan. She couldn't help feeling extremely disgusted by Katrina's aggressive courtship toward Ethan.

Approaching her desk, she questioned, ‘Can | help you" “Oh! You're back! I just noticed that I brought the wrong document.” The document that Katrina was holding had been randomly taken. from one of their colleagues’ desks. Naturally, she could not show nor hand them over to Josephine.

Josephine immediately saw through Katrina's little trick and smiled. “Why don’t you showthe document?” Katrina hastily hugged the document to her chest and guiltily burst out, “I grabbed the wrong document by mistake!” “Did you grab the wrong document? Or were you deliberately being inappropriate in front of my boyfriend? Did you think I wouldn't see through your schemes?” Josephine countered without giving Katrina any room to wriggle out of the situation.

“W-What are you saying?” Katrina blushed. furiously, feeling so guilty that she did not dare. to look at Ethan.

“What am | saying? I'm saying that you should stop sticking to my boyfriend like an annoying fly that won't go away!” Josephine declared forcefully.

‘Josephine, how can you insultin such a manner? Mr. Quarles, please ask her to mind. her manners!” Katrina immediately lodged her grievances to Ethan in hopes of showing him Josephine’s disgraceful side. Ethan raised his eyes at those words. “Josephine is right.” When Katrina heard that, she blushed so hard that even the tips of her ears went red. On the other hand, Josephine took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire. “Katrina, you toldthat my boyfriend invited Tori out for dinner. You also claimed that there was an ambiguous atmosphere between them in the restaurant. Did you witness the scene yourself, or were you simply repeating the nonsensical gossip you heard from others?” His handsface revealed his astonishment. “Who said that?” Katrina immediately panicked. Waving her hands in denial, she quickly explained herself. “Josephine, | was just repeating the gossip | heard from others. | don’t know anything. Please don’t blme!” Ethan abruptly turned to glare at Katrina with at frigid look in his eyes. “What the hell are you talking about?” “No, no... Mr. Quarles, | simply repeated the nonsensical gossip | heard from others. I'm sorry. I'm so very sorry!” Katrina anxiously apologized repeatedly.

“That is to say, the meal he shared with Tori was just a normal interaction between employer and employee!” Josephine asserted. However, her gaze drifted toward a certain. man. She was hoping that he could explain the incident.

Ethan quickly explained, ‘Joey, | did go to the restaurant that day, but | was planning to have lunch with you! | left immediately when | saw that you weren't there. Afterward, | went to the place where you were holding an interview to have lunch with you! Do you remember that day?” His response stunned her. “I do!” “That's right! Atticus invitedout for lunch. that day. He claimed that he had business to discuss with me, so | asked him to bring you along. However, only a female employee was waiting at the restaurant when | arrived. That's why | went looking for you instead.” Katrina couldn't help swallowing nervously. What? Is Miss Alford just a female employee in Mr. Quarles’ eyes? Doesn't he know that she is the number one idol of the TV station?
