Chapter 2118
At this moment, Katrina was so bored in the office that she dialed the director’s office number. “Hello?” Atticus uttered after picking up the phone. “Atticus! Quick question, will Mr. Quarles come to work today?”
“He is in the company today!” “What?! He’s here? Does he need an assistant?”
“Well, he didn’t request one.” “Which office is he at, then?” “The big office facing south.” “Atticus, are there any documents you need me to send over?’ Katrina quickly asked. “I want to see him.”
“It’s about time he got off work. You won’t see him even if you go up. We’ll try our luck again tomorrow! I’ll find you a reason to go up.” Atticus was well aware that his sister-in-law was interested in Ethan, and he wanted her to succeed so he could have a rich and powerful brother-in-law.
Katrina soon hung up the phone. However, there was no way she would give up. Immediately, she grabbed her bag and went up to the 18th floor. Her heart skipped a beat as soon as the elevator opened, the tall and handsome man she wanted to see was lazily standing outside as he waited for the elevator.
“Mr. Quarles! Are you… getting off work?” she asked while blushing furiously. “Right.” Ethan nodded and strode into the elevator before asking in return, “Are you not getting off the elevator, Miss Sullivan?”
“I-I suddenly remembered that I don’t need to anymore. I’m done for the day.” After she said that, she shamelessly refused to get off the elevator. She even wanted to go to the underground parking lot when she saw Ethan press the number for the said floor.
Ethan’s message alert tone rang then, prompting him to lower his head and take at glance at his phone. It was a message from Josephine. ‘I’ll be waiting in front of the elevator’
‘Gotcha.’ The corners of his mouth lifted into a small smile. Katrina happened to see his smile through the mirror in the elevator, and her heart started to gallop. Whose message is it that’s got him smiling so dotingly?
At this point, the elevator had stopped on several floors, and many employees had squeezed their way into the elevator. They couldn’t help their accelerating heartbeats as well when they saw Ethan, but everyone was rushing to get off work that they didn’t mind cramming into the elevator.
