Tori was taken aback for a moment before her scarlet lips curved into a smile. “Don’t you feel jealous?” “Most people have a regular social life. Besides, isn’t it normal to have dinner with a female colleague? Josephine replied naturally. “I am also having dinner tonight with a male client whom I’m planning to interview soon!”
Tori wanted to upset Josephine by mentioning the meal she had with Ethan the other day, so she was surprised by Josephine’s calm reaction to the news. Nevertheless, she couldn’t help adding with a cryptic smile, “Sometimes, it means more than just a simple meal when a man invites a woman out for dinner!”
“As far as I know, you were the one who took the initiative to invite him out for dinner, Miss Alford!” Josephine rebutted Tori’s statement.
Tori’s expression turned ugly. Biting her scarlet. lip in frustration, she eventually snapped angrily, “In any case, you better show me your best efforts if you want to receive my approval! Otherwise, you will never pass the interview!”
After saying that, Tori threw open the door and left the meeting room in a huff. Josephine breathed a small sigh of relief at Tori’s departure. Then, she mulled over the time. she spent with Ethan over the past few days. Just when did Ethan have a meal with Tori?
When Josephine returned to the office, Katrina was chatting with another colleague at her table. She couldn’t help sneaking a glance and studying Josephine’s expression to see how Josephine was feeling at the moment.
Unexpectedly, Josephine happened to meet her gaze when she glanced over. Katrina immediately looked away and acted as though she had not noticed Josephine’s arrival.
Josephine was a quick-witted woman. Holding a cup of tea in her hand, she suddenly wondered about the incident earlier. Was it really a coincidence that Katrina just happened to be gossiping with the others about that incident in the pantry? Was it also a coincidence that she just so happened to speak in such a loud voice right beside me?
Even if Tori and Ethan had dinner together, Katrina’s description made the whole incident sound suspiciously ambiguous. It might be that the meal between Tori and
Ethan was completely platonic.
Josephine exhaled deeply and made her decision. I’ll just be frank and ask Ethan about the incident tonight! It’ll be better than dwelling on these nonsensical thoughts in my head and excessively depleting my emotional reserves as a result.
Since she was young, Josephine had never been the type to conceal her thoughts. If there was something she did not understand.or something was bothering her, she would resolve the issue on the day itself so that she did not exhaust herself with useless worries.
She abruptly recalled the statement Tori made earlier. It was evident that the other woman was planning to make things difficult for her. When it was time to get off work, Josephine wrapped up her tasks at hand and took the initiative to contact Ethan.
