Night of Destiny ( Anastasia Tillman )
Chapter 2146

Chapter 2146

The moment Josephine twisted her head around, her heart skipped a beat and she turned back right

away. “You can take a bath now.” Ethan watched until she walked out before taking off his remaining

clothes and soaking himself in the bathtub.

Meanwhile, Josephine took a shower in the guest room. Before this, she had left a set of pajamas here,

which served as a great convenience whenever she wanted to spend the night here. Tonight was the

last day of her period, and the thought of this filled her with anticipation. As she thought about this, her

cheeks started to blush in embarrassment.

After washing his hair and finishing his bath, Ethan came out of the bathroom with only a towel draped

around his waist. Even though he felt at ease with Josephine in the same room, she kept her eyes fixed

on his towel, thinking, Will that towel fall off unexpectedly and… Blushing brightly, she shrugged the

dirty thought out of her mind.

“I have a conference tonight. Go to bed first.” Walking over, he then kissed her cheek.

“If you need me, I’ll come and sleep next to you after the meeting.” “It’s okay.” Josephine shook her

head, afraid that none of them could catch any sleep if they shared the same bed.

“Okay.” Ethan lowered himself and planted a kiss on her cheek again, not forgetting another on her lips.

Turning limp from his passionate kiss, she pushed him away at the end and mumbled, “Go for your

conference now.”

After the bath, a fresh, pleasant smell lingered on his body. The smell of alcohol was long gone. “You

don’t have to wake up and drop me off at work tomorrow. I can go to work by myself.”

“Are you driving?”

“Yes.”

“Okay” Ethan nodded before stroking her head and giving her a kiss. “Good night.” That night,

Josephine slept soundly and had sweet dreams. She went to the office early the next morning and

heard that the results for the exam questions that were submitted last night. would be announced in the

afternoon. Like everyone else, she, too, hoped that she would score good results in the internal exam.

As she was working, Wren approached her and said in excitement, “Joey, have you seen the name list

published by the company? Just as expected, you’re number one on the board!”

“Huh? The results are out?” Quickly, Josephine opened the internal email inbox and saw that the

administrative department had published the names of people who had passed the exam. Her name

sat at the top of the list. She breathed a sigh of relief, glad that she hadn’t let her efforts go to waste.

Afterward, she went to the pantry and was coming out with a cup of freshly brewed tea when a

colleague congratulated her, “Joey, I saw you scored first place. Congratulations!”

“Thanks.” Josephine smiled and nodded in acknowledgement. A second later, she heard Katrina

sniggering, “Who knows if she really deserves to be number one and whether there are any suspicious

points given to her or not, eh? After all, her boyfriend is the biggest shareholder in the company!” After

Katrina’s comment, the other colleagues around them turned to look at Josephine with odd looks in

their eyes.

Just a second ago, they were envious of her, but now, it struck them that they weren’t in the position. to

be envious of her. Furthermore, they assumed that she must have gotten a lot of suspicious points to

get to the first spot. Initially, Josephine wanted to snap back at Katrina, but on second thought, she felt

that it was unnecessary because she had a clear conscience. “What? Did I say anything wrong?”

“If you have the time to criticize me, you might as well read more books. It must be quite upsetting to be

at the bottom, doesn’t it?” “How dare you?” It was true that

Katrina was at the bottom of the list this time. After all, how could she have scored good results when

she wasn’t a person keen on reading?

“Rather than doubt others, you should build your own knowledge. As you’re always relying on

connections for protection, you’re only capable enough to be an assistant,” Josephine snapped and left

the room.

Very quickly, Katrina became the topic of discussion instead. Compared to Josephine, Katrina was

more likely to be the one who got her way through connections. At the end of the day, it wasn’t news

that Josephine was hardworking, and her performance had always been good since she started

working in the company, proven by the best employee award that she won every year.

Pulling a long face, Katrina returned to her desk. Even she was frustrated at the helplessness she felt

when she couldn’t do anything to Josephine. However, when she thought further about it, she realized

that Josephine couldn’t stay arrogant much longer because she might not pass the test with Tori as the

gatekeeper. Just then, her elder sister called her on the phone. “Hey, Ivanka! I’m so mad right now and

need you to comfort me.”

“Who made you mad now?” Ivanka asked from the other end angrily. “Who else? It’s Josephine

Jacobson! Recently, she’s giving me a hard time because she managed to seduce Mr. Quarles.”

Hearing that it was Josephine, Ivanka tried to pacify her sister instead, ‘Alright, don’t stoop to the same

level as her.”
