At 9.30AM, Heidi thought Josephine had gone. to work and decided to go over and clean her room. But when she pushed the door open, she saw her daughter sleeping soundly while hugging the blanket.
“Joey, Joey, why aren’t you at work? Are you taking a day off today?” Heidi asked as she patted her. Josephine immediately sat up, which startled Heidi. “Mom, what time is it?” Josephine asked with a panicked look in her eyes. “It’s already 9.30PM!”
“Oh my god! I’m going to be late for my morning meeting. Josephine exclaimed before jumping out of bed and rushing into the bathroom. Five minutes later, she came out of the bathroom to get dressed. Heidi, on the other hand, was used to seeing her daughter’s frantic behavior. She knew that it was her daughter’s nature, so she thought it would be good enough if she could. find a man to marry her, and that Josephine shouldn’t be too picky.
“Mom, I’m leaving! Josephine shouted from the changing room before rushing down the stairs and heading to her car which was parked in the yard. She quickly got into her hatchback car and sped off.
Josephine did her best to hurry. Along the way, she received reminders from her colleague Wren, who also sent her a message asking, ‘We’re in the meeting room. Where are you?’
When Josephine arrived at the company building, she rushed into the meeting room with her bag as fast as she could but was still half an hour late.
Mr. Fox’s expression didn’t look good, and the other staff members cast glances at her. Noticing that, Josephine smiled apologetically. “Sorry, I got stuck in traffic on the way.”
“From what I know, there’s never been traffic on the roads you take to work. If you’re late, you’re late. There’s no need for excuses. Take a seat!” Mr. Fox had a good understanding of Josephine’s work attitude.
During the meeting, they talked about the exclusive broadcasting rights given by the Presgrave Corporation, and Mr. Fox even praised Josephine a few times. She didn’t expect to be given an award or anything like that as she knew that her department was always stingy, and the management was even reluctant to pay overtime.
After the meeting, a group of young girls gathered around her, asking her to share what she saw at the wedding. The most important thing was whether she met any wealthy person. Josephine had indeed noticed quite a few super-rich people who had made headlines internationally “Joey, did you meet any handsome men?” Wren asked.
“Um, yes,” Josephine answered truthfully. “How handsome? Can you show us a picture?” With that, Josephine immediately selected a photo of Ethan from her phone and show it to them.
“Oh, my God!” A group of female colleagues instantly exclaimed. “Josephine, what’s your relationship with this guy?” “He’s just a handsome guy I met at the wedding. Nothing is going on between us,” Josephine replied somewhat nervously.
“Joey, can we do a news feature on this handsome guy? Our entertainment news department is lacking this kind of handsome man that is hard to come by. I believe that if he shows up, the traffic of our news channel will definitely surge through the roof.”
Josephine immediately took back her phone and refused, “No way! We cannot infringe on someone’s image rights. You can look, but you cannot share it with others.”
After dispersing the group of colleagues, Wren from the next table came over and asked, “Hey, have you heard? Miss Ain might be retiring.”
“Why?” Josephine asked surprisedly “I heard she got sick and needs to rest. Moreover, she has to go abroad for treatment, so her position will be vacant. Many people are eyeing it!” Wren finished speaking and signaled to her. “I think you have a chance at it.”
Of course, Josephine also wanted to get the position because her initial dream was to be a news anchor, who sit in front of the anchor desk and broadcast news. She wanted to become a well-known female news anchor.
However, the competition in this industry was too fierce. After working as a journalist for three years, there was finally a vacancy now. Who wouldn’t want to move up?
“I’d like that, but it also depends on the management’s arrangements,’ Josephine said, trying not to reveal her thoughts because rumors were frightening, and she had experienced being backstabbed. Thus, she decided to observe discreetly.
