“I see.” Josephine curved her lips into a smile and turned to Katrina. “Did you hear that? My boyfriend himself has clarified the matter. In the future, please stop spreading such malicious gossip lest you destroy his reputation.”
At this point, Katrina’s complexion had. practically turned blue from fright. She frantically waved her hands and apologized. “I won’t! I really won’t! I will never listen to such nonsensical gossip again. I’m very sorry, Mr. Quarles. I was in the wrong.” Ethan cast a grim look at her. “Leave!”
Katrina immediately slipped away as though. she was fleeing for her life. The other employees who had gathered around to watch. the show could also tell that Ethan was in a terrible mood at the moment, so they hastily clocked out of work and left the office without delay.
Hence, they did not see the man’s expression. softening instantly when Josephine reached out to hold his hand. “It’s fine. I didn’t misunderstand you either.”
Josephine smiled brightly. She finally understood the whole situation now. Now that she had gotten to the bottom of the matter, she felt extremely relieved.
Nevertheless, Ethan’s gaze remained worried as he walked out of the company while holding her hand. When they entered the car, he immediately leaned over and looked into her eyes with a profound yet burning gaze. ‘Do you need me to explain further?”
Josephine shook her head with a smile. “There’s no need.” In her opinion, he had not only been wronged but also falsely accused by her for no reason. Ethan finally stepped on the accelerator. The sports car drove toward the villa that was just handed over to him.
The villa was one of the few bungalow villas located in the city center. It was very rare to have a villa with an exclusive courtyard of 500 square meters in the city center, where every inch of land was expensive. Hence, the price of the villa was naturally astronomical.
Josephine was amazed by the luxurious layout of the villa. There were eight
European-style Roman columns decorating the front of the villa, which gave off an imperious atmosphere. Although they seemed fairly ancient, they were very well maintained. When she walked into the hall, she was greeted by the sight of a spacious hall with a soaring ceiling of six meters.
The crystal chandelier hanging down from the ceiling and the large floor-to-ceiling windows tempted her to take a nap on the couch. It was the perfect spot to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning sun or admire the lights outside the window while leisurely working on an article she brought home from work.. On a weekday night, she could even cook a scrumptious feast, open a bottle of wine, and put on a song to enjoy a relaxing drink with Ethan after a grueling day at work. That also seemed like a pretty good choice!
