Chapter 2136

“But you’re bleeding! Let’s go to the hospital. and get it bandaged now!” “I’ll beat up any reporters who

appear in front of me from now on! Get lost right now!” the security guard yelled.

Josephine and the others had no choice but to return to the car to seek further instructions from their

group leader. Their group leader instructed them to wait and when the company’s higher management

appeared, they were to rush over and interview them.

Meanwhile, Ethan’s car stopped in front of a high-end restaurant punctually at noon. Atticus had

already reserved a private room for lunch. Upon seeing Ethan arrive at the private room, the waiter

opened the door and said to him, “Welcome, sir. Please come in.”

Ethan then entered the room. The instant he walked in, he noticed a woman seated on the couch

inside the room, but it wasn’t Josephine..

Tori, on the other hand, stared with her eyes wide in surprise when she saw the man who had just

entered. As she looked at him dazedly, she felt her heart glowing with adoration for him.

Oh my! All of his photos cannot even come close to capturing his elegance! She hurriedly rose to greet

Ethan. ‘Hello, Mr. Quarles. I am Tori Alford, a newscaster in the company. Nice to meet you.”

“Where’s Atticus?” Ethan frowned and asked. Didn’t Atticus say he would bring Josephine along?

“Oh! Mr. Kowalski suddenly has something urgent to attend to, so I’ll be accompanying you for lunch

today, Mr. Quarles,” Tori replied eagerly.

However, Ethan’s face darkened when he heard. that. He already knew what Atticus was up to when

he saw the unruliness and admiration in Tori’s eyes.

Instead of bringing Josephine, Atticus had arranged for another woman from the company to attend

today’s lunch. This irritated Ethan greatly. “Excuse me. I’ve got something else on.” He turned around

and left.

“You’ve just arrived, Mr. Quarles. Why are you leaving so quickly?” Tori quickly stepped in front of

Ethan, stopping him from leaving while winking at him. ‘Mr. Quarles, I really want to know you more.

Could you please grant me my wish today?”

Ethan simply narrowed his eyes and asked, “Don’t you know my girlfriend works in the company?”

That rendered Tori a little awkward. She quickly regained her smile and stated, “It’s just a meal, Mr.

Quarles. Furthermore, you’re already here.” Ethan’s gaze dimmed when he heard that. “I’ll never allow

anyone to disrespect my girlfriend.”

He opened the door and walked out, leaving Tori stunned and flushed with embarrassment. Don’t men

like women’s admiration for them? All the men I’ve encountered have never turned down a lady who

hurled herself at them! Ethan’s words today truly hurt Tori’s self-esteem. Is Josephine really that

captivating? How can Ethan be so enthralled by her that he didn’t even look at me?

After exiting the restaurant, Ethan called Josephine. Josephine was having her wound bandaged by

her colleague in the car. When she heard her phone ring, she smiled and answered the call. “Hi! Have

you had your lunch yet?”

“Where are you?’ Ethan asked in a low voice. “I’m working. I have an outdoor interview today,”

Josephine answered. However, her colleague. accidentally tugged on her wound at this point, causing

her to cry out in pain.

“What happened? Are you hurt?” Ethan asked concernedly when he heard that. “I’m fine. I just fell and

scratched my palm,” Josephine explained cheerfully. Ethan, however, couldn’t bear Josephine being

wounded. “Where are you? I’ll be right there.”

“You don’t have to. My work is not done yet. I’ll see you tonight! Josephine quickly ended the call as

she did not want Ethan to come. Furthermore, the interview she had to conduct today was of utmost

importance, and she had to get it done.

At this point, her colleague said, ‘Josephine, there’s a posh car stopped in front of the entrance. That

must be the car of one of the company’s senior managers. Let’s go over now!”

Hearing that, Josephine grabbed the microphone and rushed over, completely ignoring her wound. It

was indeed one of the senior managers who stepped out of the car. When he saw Josephine. and the

others running toward him, he panicked. Many reporters had been bothering him recently and he was

already fed up with them.

As Josephine had studied the relevant documents previously, she recognized the person stepping out

of the car. It was Dane Cooke, the vice president of the company. With that, she immediately pointed

the microphone at him and asked, “Mr. Cooke, is your company’s wastewater discharge in accordance

with the law? According to the relevant department, the pollutants in your company’s discharge are way

above the permissible limit, and all nearby water sources have been affected. What do you have to say

about this?’
