Meanwhile, Josephine was seated at her desk in the office. She was enjoying a cup of coffee while talking to Wren. The moment Tori stepped into the office, she caught the attention of a group of male workers. Walking around the office, she searched for a specific person until a nameplate came into view. Then, she raised her head and studied the face of the nameplate’s owner.
She indeed looks pretty. She could’ve become prettier if she paid attention to her appearance. However, nobody in the TV station can ever steal the spot of the company’s beauty queen from me! “Miss Alford, are you looking for someone?” An assistant approached her.
“No, I’m not looking for anyone. I’m just walking. around. Don’t let me keep you. You should return to work.” At that, Tori cast Josephine one last glance before turning on her heel and leaving.
After dealing with all the tasks at hand, Josephine was eagerly anticipating the arrival of the evening and meeting with Ethan. She couldn’t wait to see him after getting off work.
However, she planned to go home and see her mother as well. I need to tell Mom. Josephine decided to ask, “Wren, can I bother you for a minute?” “What is it? What can I help you with?”
“I’m calling my mother to tell her that I’m staying at your place for work purposes over the next week. I need you to cover up for me.” At the end of her sentence, Josephine was already blushing.
Since Wren also had a boyfriend, she could. understand the reason for Josephine asking for help. Therefore, she kindly agreed to help Josephine. “Sure. Call her. I’ll cover up for you.”
The pair headed to the pantry before Josephine dialed her mother’s number. “Hello, Joey! Are you coming home tonight or are you working late today?”
‘I haven’t finished my work. Mom, here’s the thing-I also need to stay at my colleague’s place over the next week. I’ll go home later and grab a few things before leaving for her place.
At that moment, Wren took the phone and enthusiastically greeted Heidi, ‘Hello, Mrs.. Jacobson. I’m Wren. Lately, we are working on summarizing an important work report, so we have to work together.”
“Oh! It’s you, Wren. Thanks for having Joey over. I’m counting on you to take care of her.” Heidi was instantly convinced by Wren’s words. “Rest assured, Mrs. Jacobson. I’ll take good care of her!” Wren promised.
