Luke could only watch as Josephine was being snatched away. He was so pissed that he clenched his fists and stomped his feet in anger. Josephine walked into the luxurious cabin. As she examined her surroundings, she asked the man, “Is this yours?”
“Yeah! All mine,” the man replied behind her. “What company does your family run?” Josephine began to realize that this man was wealthy beyond her imagination. She was starting to feel a little pressured when she talked to him.
“We’re in the shipping business.” When Josephine heard that, she was stunned. People working in that field were always super rich!
“So, your family is very, very rich then?” Josephine turned around with a faint look of admiration in her eyes. Ethan couldn’t help but chuckle. “I may need a few lifetimes to spend it all.”
Josephine burst out laughing. At that moment, she could feel the boat bobbing on the ocean, so she found a couch to sit on. As she gazed at the scenery outside, she felt herself relaxing.
“It is an honor to befriend you. If not, I would never know what it’s like to be in a luxury boat.” Josephine smiled, relieving the awkward atmosphere between them.
“If you’d like, I can bring you out to sea often,” said the man as he gazed at her with deep and earnest eyes. Josephine met his gaze, feeling her heart. subconsciously skip a beat. This guy couldn’t be pursuing her, could he?
Josephine had always been a good girl. She studied earnestly and always got good results in school, proceeding to find a stable and meaningful job after. For the latter half of her life, she decided that she would get married to someone of her status, such as a colleague or someone she knew. Then, she would have. children and spend her life in peace and normalcy.
Never had she thought of getting married into a rich family, nor had she even dreamt of it. Now that a super wealthy man wanted to pursue her, she had mixed feelings about it.
Her feelings were so complicated that she suddenly turned wary. She wasn’t a woman who could endure some reckless play. If Ethan just wanted a one-night stand with her, he had come to the wrong person.
“Ahem! Never mind, I’m always super busy with work. I won’t have time to go out to sea.” Josephine smiled while declining his offer. “Is your job tiring?” Ethan asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Yes, but it brings meaning to my life,” Josephine replied. Ethan could understand from their gazes and conversation that Josephine wasn’t the sort of girl he could woo with wealth alone. “What would you like to drink? Water? Coffee? More wine?”
“Water, please. I’ve drunk enough wine; I still feel a little tipsy,” said Josephine. Ethan passed her a bottle of water. Josephine unscrewed the cap and took a few sips. Then, she asked, “Can I look around?”
“Of course.” Ethan curved his lips into a smile. Josephine stood up and began looking around. When she went out the door and stood at the railing, the man followed as well. He held a glass of wine in his hands, and he exuded the elegant aura of a noble young master.
Josephine stood at the railing for a while. Suddenly, the waves got a little rough, and she couldn’t help but stagger. As she stepped backward, a firm arm caught her at the perfect time.
“Watch your step, the man reminded her. Josephine gripped the railing as she smiled. “Thank you.” Then, she walked toward the deck. She could see the entire island from there. Josephine took a seat on the couch placed. there. The man beside her sat down as well, and the two admired the view together.
Josephine’s long hair was tousled by the sea breeze, covering her palm-sized face. She had no choice but to gather her hair to one side in front of her chest, revealing her mesmerizing profile.
The man couldn’t endure Josephine’s allure as he gazed at her small face, then at her red lips. Thoughts began sprouting in his mind.
Finally, the boat slowly came to a halt. At the same time, fireworks blossomed near them on the surface of the sea. The fireworks filled the sky with their brilliance, blooming one after the other in the night sky.
“Wow!” Josephine couldn’t help her awe. The fireworks reflected in her eyes, which were glimmering and beautifully clear as well.
