“Joey, do you have the time? If you don’t, I’ll send somebody else over instead.” Josephine considered her options. Since she was in charge of the interview, it would undoubtedly be much easier if she went there herself. Besides, the other party was one of Dane’s female assistants. She believed that there was nothing to worry about since meeting with the female assistant would be quite safe.
“I have some time right now, so I’ll head over myself!” she said. Her team leader nodded and gave her permission to meet the female assistant. Afterward, Josephine returned to her office. Grabbing her bag and notebook, she left the office and called for a cab to bring her to the high-end clubhouse.
After Josephine walked into the clubhouse, the female assistant immediately came down in person to receive her. Then, the female. assistant guided her to a private room on the third floor. There was no desk for work in the private room. She took a seat, and the female assistant served her a cup of tea. “Miss Jacobson, let’s begin!”
Josephine nodded in agreement and began discussing work with the female assistant. The female assistant started by introducing the company’s background before bringing up certain issues that required special attention. After a while, she seemed to become thirsty from talking so much and offered some tea to Josephine. ‘Miss Jacobson, have some tea!”
At the same time, she picked up her own cup to drink some tea. Josephine had also gotten. thirsty after traveling so far, so she picked up her teacup and drank the tea without hesitation. She was so thirsty that she finished half the cup in a single gulp.
“Miss Jacobson, I’ll get you some more tea once you’ve finished your cup.” The female assistant urged and stood up, looking as though she wanted to refill their cups. Josephine picked up her cup and finished the rest of her tea, then she handed her cup to the female assistant.
When the female assistant turned around, the hint of a triumphant smile appeared in her gaze. The truth was that she had not invited Josephine to the clubhouse to discuss work.
Everything was simply part of Dane’s evil scheme. He had taken a fancy to Josephine and wanted to take advantage of her. That was why he had made these arrangements. As long as she finished that cup of tea, she would be vulnerable to his advances.
Afterward, he could just settle the matter with money and sweep everything under the rug. That was his usual method to deal with beautiful women, and he believed that Josephine would also keep quiet after the incident.
