Chapter 2157

“Joey, do you have the time? If you don’t, I’ll send somebody else over instead.” Josephine considered

her options. Since she was in charge of the interview, it would undoubtedly be much easier if she went

there herself. Besides, the other party was one of Dane’s female assistants. She believed that there

was nothing to worry about since meeting with the female assistant would be quite safe.

“I have some time right now, so I’ll head over myself!” she said. Her team leader nodded and gave her

permission to meet the female assistant. Afterward, Josephine returned to her office. Grabbing her bag

and notebook, she left the office and called for a cab to bring her to the high-end clubhouse.

After Josephine walked into the clubhouse, the female assistant immediately came down in person to

receive her. Then, the female. assistant guided her to a private room on the third floor. There was no

desk for work in the private room. She took a seat, and the female assistant served her a cup of tea.

“Miss Jacobson, let’s begin!”

Josephine nodded in agreement and began discussing work with the female assistant. The female

assistant started by introducing the company’s background before bringing up certain issues that

required special attention. After a while, she seemed to become thirsty from talking so much and

offered some tea to Josephine. ‘Miss Jacobson, have some tea!”

At the same time, she picked up her own cup to drink some tea. Josephine had also gotten. thirsty after

traveling so far, so she picked up her teacup and drank the tea without hesitation. She was so thirsty

that she finished half the cup in a single gulp.

“Miss Jacobson, I’ll get you some more tea once you’ve finished your cup.” The female assistant urged

and stood up, looking as though she wanted to refill their cups. Josephine picked up her cup and

finished the rest of her tea, then she handed her cup to the female assistant.

When the female assistant turned around, the hint of a triumphant smile appeared in her gaze. The

truth was that she had not invited Josephine to the clubhouse to discuss work.

Everything was simply part of Dane’s evil scheme. He had taken a fancy to Josephine and wanted to

take advantage of her. That was why he had made these arrangements. As long as she finished that

cup of tea, she would be vulnerable to his advances.

Afterward, he could just settle the matter with money and sweep everything under the rug. That was his

usual method to deal with beautiful women, and he believed that Josephine would also keep quiet after

the incident.

When the female assistant came back with a glass of water in her hand, she answered her phone in

front of Josephine. “What? Are you coming over now, Mr. Cooke? Okay. Alright. Yes, Miss Jacobson is

still here. We are discussing work matters.”

After ending the call, she turned to Josephine and stated, “Miss Jacobson, Mr. Cooke is coming over

soon. Please wait for a while.” Josephine frowned and answered, ‘In that case, I will ask my colleague

to join me. We can finish the interview today.”

“No, no. Mr. Cooke is only coming over to take some documents, the female assistant hastily

elaborated. “Take a seat! I need to go downstairs to settle some work matters.”

Then, she left the room. Meanwhile, Josephine couldn’t help but feel so hot that she stood up from the

heat. She came to stand before the floor-to-ceiling windows and enjoyed the cold air coming from the

air- conditioning. Why is my body burning up all of at sudden?

She fanned her face with her hand, thinking that the weather was far too hot. It’s only March! Why is it

so hot?

She was generally more sensitive to subtle changes. The same also applied to her own body, so she

brushed away her doubts without much concern. Feeling slightly bored, she picked up her phone and

sent a message to Ethan. ‘What are you doing?”

‘At the house, monitoring the renovations, Ethan responded quickly. His reply instantly filled her heart

with a sweet sense of happiness. For some reason, she suddenly missed him very much. The images

of his body that she occasionally saw by accident also popped up in her mind unprompted, causing her

entire body to burn even hotter. At this moment, her phone rang. It was a phone call from Ethan.

“Hi!” Josephine answered the phone. “Did you miss me?” The low and hoarse voice was very seductive

and captivating. When she heard Ethan’s voice, a strange and unfamiliar wave of arousal immediately

flooded her body. She instinctively realized that something was wrong.

Her body had become aroused for no particular reason. She inadvertently glanced at the cup of water

on the table and her eyes contracted in horror. Was there something in the tea earlier?

The realization struck her abruptly-the female assistant was nowhere to be seen, and Dane was

coming over soon. In truth, Josephine was not a fool. She had noticed Dane’s interest and feelings for

her, but she never expected him to use such malicious and underhanded methods to harm her.
