“Don’t complicate matters, Dad! W-We just started dating. Josephine was worried that her father and grandfather would force Ethan to be responsible for her the first time they met him. “Okay! Let’s meet tonight.”
“I’ll check with him first and find out if he’s free.” Then, she ended the call with her father and dialed Ethan’s number. “Hello!” Ethan answered in his deep voice.
“My dad is back and we’re going to my grandfather’s place for dinner as a family. I… I would like to invite you…. If you’re free, that is?” “Sure thing! I’m free,” Ethan replied with a smile.
“Of course, it’s not a problem as well if you don’t want to go. I just… We’re just having a meal together, that’s all.” Josephine didn’t want to push him into coming, either. However, he felt that there was a need to meet her family, so he stated, “It’s about time that I visit your family.”
“Okay. We’ll meet after work, then,” she said and started feeling nervous after hanging up. Will Grandpa and Dad be happy with me and Ethan? Especially Grandpa, who is a stubborn and conservative person. It will be bad if he starts to pick on Ethan!
At that moment, a voice coming from behind the pillar next to her broke her chain of thoughts. “Have you heard? Miss Alford is going to be one of the interviewers this time! Someone told me that she’s very strict!”
“Yes, I just heard about this. With her on the panel, who will ace this interview? She’ll definitely create all sorts of difficult situations.”
Josephine’s heart skipped a beat. Known for her arrogance in the company, Tori Alford was not a friendly or approachable person. Josephine was about to get a headache just from worrying about that.
Right before she knocked off from work, her phone started ringing. Grabbing her phone, she saw that it was an unknown number. However, she picked up the call.
“Hello, who is this?”
“Hi, is this Miss Jacobson?” the male caller with a hoarse voice asked. “Yes, it’s me. May I ask who is on the line?”
