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.
