“Joey, what are your colleagues in the multimedia department doing? Am I a joke to them?” Luke sounded angry.
“Relax, Luke. Take it easy, would you?”
“I’m so mad right now unless you treat me to a meal. Otherwise, I’m going to make a scene in your office.” Luke
took advantage of the incident to make Josephine treat him to a meal.
Josephine was embarrassed at the thought of Luke’s car keys that she was responsible for losing earlier that day.
‘All right, but I’m a little busy in the afternoon. So, maybe tonight.”
“Great! See you tonight, Luke said happily In the meantime, Ethan was in the hotel room while browsing through
the internet with his iPad. Then, he stumbled upon the news that got him curious and tapped into it. The next thing
that came into view was the familiar building of the Department of Multimedia and

phone and gave Josephine a call.
Who is it now? When Josephine grabbed her phone and checked it out, she saw a name that made her heartbeat
race like a jackhammer. Damn it! Is he still trying to hold me responsible for that kiss or something? Josephine
quickly hid in a corner and answered in a hushed voice, “Hey, Mr. Quarles.”
“Did Luke give you a sports car as a gift this morning?” the man asked. Josephine’s face blushed in embarrassment
because she didn’t expect Ethan to learn about the news. She asked, “How did you know that?”
“I saw it on our company’s website.” “Wait, you could recognize me even though my face was pixelated?”
Josephine was in disbelief. “Are you thinking of getting a new car?” The question came all of a sudden.
“Nope, I’m not. My car still works fine,” Josephine answered. Just then, her team. leader beckoned her over for a
meeting, so she said, “I have to go, Mr. Quarles. My team leader needs me to be in a meeting. See you.” She hung
up the call and met up with her team leader for the meeting.
Meanwhile, Ethan, who was in the hotel, summoned his assistant and said, “Get me a feminine-looking sports car.
I’m giving it to someone as a gift.”
“Yes, Mr. Quarles.” Ethan squinted, thinking he should satisfy Josephine’s material needs to prove his financial
capability. Meanwhile, Josephine was in the meeting room where murmurs of gossip were ongoing. Everyone envied
Josephine because she would own a sports car as soon as she accepted Luke’s gift, but to their surprise and
bewilderment, she rejected him and turned down an expensive sports car as a gift. Everyone thought, Come on,
what’s Josephine thinking?
She has no intention of accepting Luke as her boyfriend, does she? Soon, Ethan exited. the hotel and made his way
to Tribus TV. As the biggest shareholder of the company, he was given a spacious office with a good view, but to
him, his job felt more like a vacation than work. As soon as he arrived, he received an Excel file on his phone and
carefully skimmed through a name list within it. Then, he found Josephine’s name and contact, whereupon he
started calling her number.

On the other hand, Josephine heard her phone. ringing not long after her meeting ended. “Hello, this is Josephine
speaking from the Department of Multimedia and Communication. How may I help you?”
“Come to my office,” Ethan spoke in a deep voice. “Mr. Quarles?” Josephine widened her eyes in disbelief. “Yes,
speaking. Now, meet me on the 18th floor,” Ethan demanded.
“You’re working here… already?” Josephine didn’t expect Ethan would personally visit the company. “Just come up
here.” Ethan hung up the call as soon as he finished his sentence.
Josephine rose from her seat and made her way to the elevator clandestinely, as if she was a thief. Upon looking at
her surroundings to make sure she was alone, she pushed the button and headed to the 18th floor on which the
management office was. When she got there, she had no idea where to go until she heard footsteps from the
corner, and she saw Ethan’s attractive figure.
“Right here.” Ethan walked toward Josephine, who quickly scurried in his way. Seeing her hilarious reaction, the man
chuckled in amusement. “What’s wrong? Why are you acting like a thief?”
“Is there anything I can help you with?” Josephine asked. Ethan brought Josephine into his office and closed the
door behind him. Then, he sat on the couch sluggishly and said, “Nothing, actually. I just want to see you.”
