Chapter 2138

Ethan, however, grabbed Josephine’s injured hand and began to examine her wound. With a smile,

she murmured, “I’m fine. It’s just a scratch.” “What happened?” Ethan asked again..

“I fell down by accident!” “Mr. Quarles…” A warm-hearted female colleague wanted to tell the truth, but

she was immediately stopped by Josephine’s stern glare. “Let’s eat!” Josephine did not want Ethan to

know the truth. After all, as a reporter, she was used to being shoved by security officers.

Ethan sensed that Josephine wasn’t willing to tell him what had happened, and hence, he decided to

ask her again later. Meanwhile, Josephine was piling food onto his plate, taking care of his every need.

Though Ethan was used to more high-end restaurants, he found the food in this restaurant to be just as

delicious.

“These are good,” he remarked, feeling hungry. Although they were not in an elegant setting, Ethan’s

eating demeanor still mesmerized all of Josephine’s female coworkers.

An attractive man indeed appears elegant regardless of where he is or what he eats! At the same time,

Tori was in Atticus’ office, biting her red lip indignantly as she crossed her arms. “It was only a meal.

Why couldn’t Mr. Quarles show me some respect?”

“Enough of that. He only has Josephine in his heart, Atticus reminded her, implying that Tori should

stop her wishful thinking of clinging to Ethan.

“Josephine is just a simple woman. In what way am I inferior to her?” Tori scoffed and continued, “I

heard that you’re intending to nurture her to be Miss Ain’s successor. Is she really that capable?”

“Mr. Quarles even asked me where Josephine was working today. I can tell he genuinely loves her.’

Atticus began to worry that Ethan would blame him for assigning such a task to Josephine.

‘I don’t care, Mr. Kowalski. If any such. opportunity arises again, remember to tell me!” Tori smilingly

said, clearly not going to give up so easily

Atticus felt helpless. Both Katrina and Tori were interested in Ethan, putting Atticus in the difficult

situation of being caught in the middle. Meanwhile, Josephine got into Ethan’s posh car after lunch. As

she still had work to do, Ethan had no choice but to send her back to the company. Josephine expected

him to leave after dropping her off. Much to her surprise, Ethan stepped out of the car with her. “Why

are you not returning to the hotel?”

“I’ll walk you to the office.” “Uh… That’s not necessary!’ Josephine did not want to be in a high-profile

relationship, and she wanted it to be out of public view.

“Why? Am I such a disgrace to you that you don’t want to be seen walking with me?” Ethan pretended

to be upset and ruffled her hair. “Of course not! I’m just afraid they will start competing with me for you,

Josephine retorted with a chuckle.

“Don’t worry,’ Ethan replied determinedly. “I’m all yours. Nobody can ever take me away from you.” He

didn’t tell Josephine that Tori had wanted to have lunch with him earlier for ulterior intentions, for fear

Josephine would start overthinking.

Hearing Ethan’s words, Josephine immediately felt secure. “I’m yours too.” Ethan then walked

Josephine to her office. The moment they entered the spacious office, the busy office immediately went

so silent that they could hear a pin drop.

Josephine is so blessed to have Mr. Quarles send her to work! everyone mused. Josephine, on the

other hand, assumed that Ethan would be leaving. However, the man grabbed a chair and sat down

right behind her, randomly taking a book to read at the same time.

She felt uneasy as she noticed that all of her coworkers were fearfully looking in her direction and did

not dare to say anything, resulting in complete silence in the office.

Hence, Josephine turned around and softly suggested to Ethan, “Perhaps you should go back first.

Your presence here is making everyone stressed.” “Can’t I accompany you while you’re working?”

Ethan asked aggrievedly.

“Just look around… Everyone is afraid of you!” Josephine whispered. Ethan raised his head but at this

instant, all of the coworkers who had been looking earlier quickly lowered their heads, not daring to say

anything.
