Night of Destiny ( Anastasia Tillman )
Chapter 2129

Chapter 2129

Josephine opened her eyes after Ethan left the room, feeling a little disappointed in his reaction. After

all, she had decided to pretend to struggle a bit before giving in and offering herself to him if he made a

move on her. To her surprise, Ethan was a gentleman.

Her hands circled the edge of her blanket as she cursed herself for having a dirty mind. In the

meantime, she was fascinated by Ethan’s character. He’s an excellent man. I’ll cherish such a kind

man like him from today onward. After tossing and turning on the bed for a while, sleep finally took her.

She snuggled under the blanket and fell asleep.

The next morning, Josephine’s preset phone alarm woke her from her sleep without mercy. She

groggily reached out a hand from under the blanket and turned the alarm off. A moment later, she

realized that it was another working day. At that, she reluctantly opened her eyes. Why do I have to

leave my bed? I don’t want to go to work!

Even though Josephine was reluctant to wake up, she was dedicated to her job. After rolling out of her

bed, she applied light makeup on her face. The bruise on her face had faded and her skin had been

restored to an intact state. Everything seemed fine, aside from the little scrape at the corner of her lip.

Josephine thought to herself, I’ll just go to work without bothering anyone. I should let Ethan sleep. I bet

he stayed up late last night. When she opened the door, the sight of a well- groomed man on the couch

greeted her. She blinked in surprise. “Why are you up so early?”

“I want to give you a ride to work.” Ethan smiled at her. However, Josephine turned down his offer.

“There’s no need. I’ll take a cab to work. You should go back to sleep.” Ethan rose to his feet. “No way.

I won’t allow it on my watch.”

At last, Josephine had no choice but to allow him to send her to work in his eye-catching sports car.

She thought about the matter over on the way to the office. Now that everyone knows Ethan and I are

seeing each other, I don’t think we should do it in secret anymore as if we are ashamed of our

relationship. That’s right! I’ll make our relationship public.

The sports car eventually rolled to a stop in front of the company. Ethan wasn’t able to accompany

Josephine due to him having an appointment with the realtor later. And so, she got out of the car and

waved goodbye. “Be careful on the road.” Ethan nodded. “I’ll pick you up after work.”

With that, he took his leave. Meanwhile, tons of envious eyes fell on Josephine. Holding her head high,

Josephine walked into the company lobby at a steady pace. Her colleagues from other departments,

whom she seldom dealt with, approached her and greeted her. “Good morning, Josephine!”

“Congratulations, Josephine!” “I’m looking forward to your wedding!” “Mr. Quarles is a handsome guy.

You’re so lucky to have him.” The statements took Josephine aback. What’s next? Are they going to

urge us to start a family? She cleared her throat. “Calm down, everyone. Let’s not discuss personal

matters at work.”

After that, Josephine returned to her seat. Just as she sat, people gathered around her. “Josephine,

why did Mr. Quarles leave the group chat?”

“Do you think he’ll rejoin the group chat?” Josephine chuckled and replied, “I’m not sure. Let’s get back

to work, everyone. We’ve got a long day ahead.”

Wren got Josephine a cup of coffee to go and set it on the table. After taking a seat beside her, Wren

smiled. “Mr. Quarles did a good job! The way he announced himself in the group chat and told Katrina

off was like a slap in the face to her! Even her supporters didn’t dare contradict him.”

Josephine had to admit that Ethan’s behavior was satisfying. After all, people around the office didn’t

dare stand up against Katrina. Even Josephine herself got ridiculed by Katrina a few times. Katrina had

it coming!

Later, Josephine headed to the copy room. Katrina’s voice caught her off guard. “Josephine, you must

be very proud.” Josephine turned around and queried, “What do you mean?”

I’m the victim in the story. It’s all thanks to Ethan showing up in the group chat and backing me up, or

else they wouldn’t have stopped in the first place.

“Did you take Mr. Quarles’ phone and make everything up? A man like him will never bother to join the

group chat, so it must be you! You have access to his phone, so you might’ve taken it and pretended to

be him in the group chat.” Katrina allowed her imagination to run wild and she was confident with her

theory. After all, she remembered Ethan as a man of few words from their encounter back then.
