The accusation took Josephine aback, and she turned around to explain, “I won’t bring my personal life to work, or the other way around. I know the difference.”
“You would’ve accepted Atticus’ offer to promote you if I didn’t stop both of you in time,. no?” Katrina crossed her arms, pleased to have sabotaged Josephine’s promotion.
“Honestly, I agree with you on this matter. We’ll do it fair and square, Josephine answered calmly. “Hmph! Are you really expecting me to believe it?” “Suit yourself.” Josephine didn’t bother to: explain further.
Since there was nobody around, Katrina shot Josephine a bold question. ‘Just how did you manage to wrap Mr. Quarles around your finger? You must’ve done something! Did you sleep with each other?”
Josephine exhaled. She could feel the irritation inside her grow. She turned around, not holding back the bite in her tone. “It doesn’t concern you.” Katrina paused for a moment before she retorted, “Looks like I’m right. You’ve got to the home base.”
Josephine lost her patience, so she didn’t bother to reply. Meanwhile, a jealous Katrina was glaring at Josephine so hard that her eyes reddened. Ethan has a tall and strong body that rivals a model. Other men are no match for him. I would do the same if I were in her shoes. Sleeping with Ethan is something to boast about for the rest of my life. All I need to do is wait for Ethan to get tired of Josephine. At that time, it would be my turn.
Josephine returned to the office, but she heard the discussion going on around her. Most of the staff were envious and amazed. After all, Josephine was invisible around the company most of the time, so it was quite a feat that she knew the largest shareholder.
Besides, many women worked in the TV station, and most of them were beautiful. The broadcasters and news anchors, each with their own beauty, were the station’s image. How did a reporter like Josephine wrap the largest shareholder around her finger?
Meanwhile, a gorgeous woman walked into Atticus’ office, her purse in hand. Atticus greeted her, ‘You’re early, Tori. I thought we were meeting up in the afternoon.”
Tori cut to the chase with her arms crossed, “Mr. Kowalski, I heard that there’s a replacement for the company’s largest shareholder. Why didn’t you tell me about that? Will you ever introduce me to him?”
“Oh! You’re talking about Mr. Quarles, I presume?” “I heard that not only is he young and handsome, but he’s also wealthy. You should’ve introduced me to such a good man!” Even though Tori was smiling, she couldn’t hide the resentment in her expression.
Atticus didn’t need more words to understand Tori’s motives. She was a famous news anchor in the industry. Besides, she was also young and single. She had been dating some rich men before, but all her relationships ended up in a breakup. Now that she was single, she was looking for her next target.
“Sure, I’ll arrange a meal with you and Mr. Quarles. It’s time to introduce our best television anchor to him.” Atticus didn’t dare outright reject Tori. After all, he spent a fortune to poach her. Furthermore, she was a well- known figure in the field.
“Mr. Kowalski, how did the reporter girl Josephine meet Mr. Quarles?” The same question was bugging Tori. This Josephine is quite something. She’s a step ahead of all the women out there!
“I’m not sure, but I guess they’ve known each other for a long time. After all, Josephine’s grandfather is quite famous in political circles. It’s natural if she knows all the big shots.”
His words convinced Tori. However, her face was filled with confidence as she decided to compete with Josephine for Ethan’s attention. She happened to come across the pictures in the group chat the other day. The pictures that captured Ethan’s face and body stunned her. Besides, the way he gave Josephine a Ferrari as a gift also surprised Tori. The most expensive gifts Tori had ever received were designer bags, but Josephine surpassed her achievement in a split second by receiving a sports car as a gift.
Previously, Tori was on a study trip outside the company and only returned this morning. I can’t believe I missed all the drama! “All right, Mr. Kowalski. I hold you to your word about the meal between the three of us. I’m looking forward to getting to know Mr. Quarles better.”
With that, Tori left the office. Just when she started to make her way back to her office, she changed her mind and took a detour into the elevator. She pressed the button to the level where Josephine’s office was located. I wonder what Josephine looks like.
