That made her heart skip a beat. “Hi, Mr. Quarles.” She smiled and waved at him. “Is it
convenient to visit your company?” Ethan suddenly opened the car door and got out.
Josephine didn’t dare to bring him around in the company, so she politely said, “It is
not convenient since it’s office hours now. But there is a coffee shop next door. We
