Josephine opened her eyes after Ethan left the room, feeling a little disappointed in his reaction. After all, she had decided to pretend to struggle a bit before giving in and offering herself to him if he made a move on her. To her surprise, Ethan was a gentleman.
Her hands circled the edge of her blanket as she cursed herself for having a dirty mind. In the meantime, she was fascinated by Ethan’s character. He’s an excellent man. I’ll cherish such a kind man like him from today onward. After tossing and turning on the bed for a while, sleep finally took her. She snuggled under the blanket and fell asleep.
The next morning, Josephine’s preset phone alarm woke her from her sleep without mercy. She groggily reached out a hand from under the blanket and turned the alarm off. A moment later, she realized that it was another working day. At that, she reluctantly opened her eyes. Why do I have to leave my bed? I don’t want to go to work!
Even though Josephine was reluctant to wake up, she was dedicated to her job. After rolling out of her bed, she applied light makeup on her face. The bruise on her face had faded and her skin had been restored to an intact state. Everything seemed fine, aside from the little scrape at the corner of her lip.
Josephine thought to herself, I’ll just go to work without bothering anyone. I should let Ethan sleep. I bet he stayed up late last night. When she opened the door, the sight of a well- groomed man on the couch greeted her. She blinked in surprise. “Why are you up so early?”
“I want to give you a ride to work.” Ethan smiled at her. However, Josephine turned down his offer. “There’s no need. I’ll take a cab to work. You should go back to sleep.” Ethan rose to his feet. “No way. I won’t allow it on my watch.”
At last, Josephine had no choice but to allow him to send her to work in his eye-catching sports car. She thought about the matter over on the way to the office. Now that everyone knows Ethan and I are seeing each other, I don’t think we should do it in secret anymore as if we are ashamed of our relationship. That’s right! I’ll make our relationship public.
The sports car eventually rolled to a stop in front of the company. Ethan wasn’t able to accompany Josephine due to him having an appointment with the realtor later. And so, she got out of the car and waved goodbye. “Be careful on the road.” Ethan nodded. “I’ll pick you up after work.”
