“Oh, right! Please say a few good words about the company to Mr. Quarles. The company is currently doing really well, and the stock prices have been rising continuously!”
“I think he already knows.” Josephine laughed. “But Mr. Quarles will definitely listen to what you have to say!” Atticus said with a smile. Right now, he was trying to curry favors with Josephine. This way, the company would always have a strong investor behind it.
When the meeting was over, Josephine pushed open the door and saw a figure running away to the next corridor. It was clear that whoever it was, they were eavesdropping.
Josephine frowned and walked straight to the corridor to find out who it was. She soon saw the figure in front of her. It was Katrina, Irked, she immediately stopped her. “Katrina.”
Katrina felt a little guilty as she turned around and asked, “What is it?” “Why were you eavesdropping? What exactly did you want to hear?” Josephine asked..
“Who said I was eavesdropping? I just happened to pass by.” Katrina didn’t want to admit it. At this point, Josephine didn’t bother saying anything more and turned to leave. However, just as she walked away, she heard Katrina mocking her from behind. “Josephine, I know you’ve been promoted, but your promotion upsets the whole company. If I were you, I wouldn’t stay here any longer!”
As Josephine didn’t like Katrina, she did not hesitate as she turned around to scold her. “Instead of wasting time talking about me, you should work on yourself more!”
Katrina snorted. “Do you really think you’re that great? You just got lucky with Mr. Quarles and climbed up with his status!” Josephine really hated these types of insults. Just a single sentence would completely disregard her efforts. Yet, Katrina stood there as if her words were completely justified.
“Whether it’s my own capabilities or not, I don’t need to prove it to someone like you,” Josephine said harshly before turning around and leaving.
Katrina gritted her teeth angrily behind her. She planned to stay in this company and wait for the day when Josephine got discarded by Ethan. When that day came, she would definitely extinguish whatever was left of Josephine’s flames.
