However, Katrina had to remember one thing- Peter’s status. Hence, it was expected
that he would be acquainted with Ethan. Does that mean Ethan likes Josephine? As
Katrina thought about it, her hatred for Josephine grew.
After Josephine had ordered the food, the director ordered some wine, while Atticus
was in charge to liven up the mood. As Atticus was telling Ethan about how the project
would progress, Ethan was zoning out. He looked like he was not interested in any of
the projects Atticus mentioned.
Josephine was sitting beside him and noticed his mood. It seems like Mr. Kowalski is
talking to himself! As she thought about it, she changed her sitting position. Then, she
noticed that she had sat on her dress. Just as she stretched her legs, she felt that she
had kicked something. At that moment, her mind went blank when she realized it
didn’t feel like the table’s legs. What did I just kick?
In that split second, Ethan looked at her with a thoughtful expression. When
Josephine met his gaze, her face turned red since she realized she had accidentally
kicked his legs!
Josephine bit her lips and smiled awkwardly at him. On the other hand, Ethan raised
his wine glass and winked at her, indicating that it was fine.
Everyone saw their sweet interaction and knew Ethan was uninterested in hearing the
proposal. Instead, he had his eyes on Josephine! Katrina also saw their interactions.
She clenched her fists under the table and thought, As expected, she is trying to
seduce Ethan.
“Hurry up and give a toast to Mr. Quarles, Josephine,” said the director. “A toast to
you, Mr. Quarles.” Josephine raised her glass toward Ethan.
Ethan also raised his glass and bumped it against hers. Just as Josephine was about
to take a small sip, the vice director, Damien Posh, quickly said, “That’s not right,
Josephine. You can’t just take a small sip when Mr. Quarles has such a high status.”
Does that mean I have to drink it all? I’m not a heavy drinker, though! thought
Josephine. Then, she looked at Ethan. I’m sure he will get me out of this mess.
