Katrina quickly walked out of the room with a flushed face while pressing her chest to calm her heartbeat. Oh my God! He’s the perfect husband I’ve always dreamed of! When Atticus comes out later, I must ask him who that man is and ask him to introduce that man to me. At this moment, in the conference room, Atticus handed over a cigarette, but Ethan waved his hand. “I don’t smoke.”
“Have some tea then, Mr. Quarles.” Atticus didn’t dare neglect this precious investor who came to their door. Their TV station’s funds were tight now, and they had already started to look for external investors. They didn’t know that they would find one so quickly. Moreover, if this gentleman invested, he would inject a large amount of capital and directly purchase 52% of the company’s shares, becoming the largest shareholder.
“Mr. Quarles, if I may ask, why did you choose our TV station?” Atticus was also confused, for Ethan’s status and wealth were such that even if he were to invest in ten famous TV stations, it would just be a matter of words, but he chose their station.
“For personal reasons. If there are no other issues, we can sign the contract anytime, and the funds will be transferred to your account within an hour, Ethan said calmly.
Atticus had been looking for investors for almost a year now, and finally, a tycoon had come. How could he let him go? So, he immediately nodded. “Okay, I’ll prepare the contract right away. From now on, Mr. Quarles, you will have the highest executive power in the company, and I will follow your orders completely.”
After a nod, Ethan picked up the teacup to take a sip. “Okay, you go ahead and prepare the documents. I’ll take a look around at my leisure.” “Alright, Mr. Quarles, do you need our vice president to accompany you?”
“No need. I’ll just walk around by myself.” Ethan waved his hand. With a smile, Atticus replied, “Okay. I’ll notify you when the contract is ready.”
He hurried back to his office to prepare the investment contract, while Ethan stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, drinking tea and looking at the scenery outside. For him, this place was his vacation spot, as he had taken a six-month leave from his family.
After he pushed the door open, he remembered that Josephine had stopped on the eighth floor earlier, so her workplace should also be on that floor. He walked toward the direction of the elevator and pressed the button for the eighth floor.
On the other hand, with the warm afternoon sun shining in, Josephine held her face, struggling to stay awake. Even coffee can’t save me. This must be a post-vacation work syndrome. I’m just so tired!
Her seat was in a very good position. When the warm afternoon sun shone on her, she couldn’t resist the urge to doze off anymore. She looked around and saw that her team leader was not in her seat, so she quickly found a comfortable position and fell asleep. She must have been really tired, as she drifted to sleep in seconds.
Meanwhile, at the elevator, the female employees in the corridor were buzzing with excitement as Ethan appeared. He politely asked one of the female employees, “Excuse me, may I know where Josephine’s desk is?”
“Oh, Josephine! She’s in the last row of seats in the large working space, near the window,” the female employee replied, her heart filled with envy. He’s here to find Josephine! I wonder what their relationship is.
The moment he walked into the working space, the whole bustling room seemed to instantly quiet down as everyone stopped what they were doing to look at the handsome man who had just appeared. Such a handsome man! However, there was one person who missed seeing his handsome figure as she was currently asleep on her desk.
Meanwhile, Wren had just returned to her seat with some documents when she saw a man walking toward her from the aisle. Her first thought was, He looks familiar. Where have I seen this handsome man? At once, she recalled that she had seen him in a photo on Josephine’s phone. She thought that Josephine wasn’t in her seat, but when she stood up and looked, she realized that Josephine was actually sleeping on her desk.
At the same time, Ethan had already noticed Josephine. When he saw her sleeping on the desk, an affectionate and nonchalant smile played on his lips. He walked over to her desk and quietly looked at her sleeping face without disturbing her.
