Josephine arched her brows in amusement. “It really wasn’t me.” “Then you must’ve shown him the messages.” “Of course! He was sitting next to me during that time. Since he asked to read the messages, I saw no point in hiding them,” Josephine answered.
“I assume you’re the one pursuing Mr. Quarles and not the other way around. You’re quite shameless, aren’t you? You must’ve used dirty tricks to seduce him!” Katrina accused with her arms crossed.
At this point, only by witnessing displays of affection between Ethan and Josephine would Katrina finally accept the fact that the couple had indeed gotten together. Josephine chuckled at Katrina’s attempt to accuse her. “Does it matter? We are dating, anyway. Does it answer your question?”
“Listen, I don’t mean to sound discouraging, but you’re not the woman for a man like him. Mr. Quarles is a popular man, and women won’t hesitate to throw themselves at him. Besides, people nowadays are driven by lust and don’t care about loyalty. What if a prettier woman with a stronger personality catches his eye? He would forget about your existence in a split second!” Katrina sneered, trying to make Josephine anxious.
Josephine paused for a moment before turning around to face Katrina. “It’s none of your business.” However, Katrina knew not when to stop.
“What if he’s talking to a pretty woman at the moment? What if they exchange numbers for the convenience of a little rendezvous?” she continued. She was confident that her words would make Josephine uncomfortable.
Her guess was right. Ethan was out house- hunting at the moment, and the female realtors were good-looking and adept at taking the initiative. Thus, they wouldn’t hesitate to jump at the chance when they met Ethan. Josephine exhaled and muttered, “Don’t you have better things to do?”
Katrina harrumphed at that. “It’s for your own good, Josephine. We are more alike than you think. A man like Ethan is out of our league. I don’t want to see you become his plaything. which he abandons once he gets tired. When that time comes, a heartbroken mess is all you are.”
Katrina was getting on Josephine’s nerves with the negative speech. Seeing no point in tolerating Katrina’s nonsense, Josephine turned around and growled, “Enough!”
