“It’s not important whether or not she manages to clear her name. Once this blows up, whenever the audience sees her face, it’ll be the only thing they can remember about her. I’m sure they’ll be put off by her presence and curse her out,” Ivanka said. She was confident their plan would be a success. Katrina hugged her sister in glee. “You’re amazing, Ivanka.”
“Alright. That’s the plan! You just need to make sure you find someone who can keep their mouth shut,” Ivanka declared. However, never in Ivanka’s wildest dreams would she have thought that this plan would end up sending Katrina to jail.
Back at the studio, Josephine was doing another test run of reporting the news when she saw the man standing at the door with his arms crossed. She couldn’t stop herself from smiling ever so slightly and ended up misreading two words as well. Her flow was interrupted.
At first, the broadcast director didn’t know what was happening, but when he turned around and spotted Ethan standing at the back, he realized that she was affected by Ethan’s presence. “Alright, Joey. That’s enough for today. Hurry up and go off your date with Mr. Quarles!”
The female employees eyed Josephine with looks of envy. Ethan was too handsome. Everything from his height and figure to his face was flawless in every way! “Why did you come over?” Josephine walked over to Ethan and asked.
“I guess I can’t be in the studio with you anymore, or I’ll end up affecting you,” Ethan remarked with a chuckle as he caressed her head affectionately.
Josephine recalled the way she faltered her lines earlier because of him and nodded. “That’s right. You can’t be in the studio with me.” Ethan laughed and put his arm around her waist. “Alright. I’ll hang outside the door and eavesdrop next time.”
He led Josephine away. The two were open with their affection even when they were in the office, much to the envy of the other employees. Who wouldn’t be jealous of the fact that Josephine, a mere reporter, had managed to become the boss’ girlfriend?
“Let me call my mom and see if she wants to have dinner together tonight,” Ethan said. “Sure, go ahead. I want to spend more time with her, too.” Josephine nodded.
