Although Josephine had several run-ins with overbearing people, she had never met one such as Ethan, who was completely unreasonable. ‘Return it! My car still works, and I don’t need a sports car,” she huffed as she bit her lip.
Ethan merely smirked as he shrugged. gracefully. “Oh, it’s fine. A sports car isn’t a big. deal to me. Plus, if you refuse to use it, I’ll just let it park at that spot until it’s covered in dust.”
Josephine’s eyelashes fluttered as she caught sight of his pearly whites and felt her heart. racing. This man can truly sway hearts with his smile! Just then, her phone started ringing, and she saw that it was Luke calling her. So, she hastily scrambled to the window and picked up the call. “Hi, Luke.”
‘Joey, I’ve made a reservation in a restaurant tonight. I’ll pick you up after work later,” he said over the phone. “Okay.” Since she had promised to buy him at meal, she readily agreed as she didn’t see a need to bail on him.
However, there was one thing-she had decided to make things clear to Luke that they could only ever be friends. So, he shouldn’t waste more time on her.
Still, he had been wooing her aggressively for the past year. Therefore, she reckoned that he might not give up so easily if she simply rejected him verbally. If she let him know that her heart belonged to someone else and that she already had someone she loved, he might finally cease pursuing her.
The person who can make Luke give up must be more outstanding, better looking, and richer than him, she thought, and there was only one person around her who checked all the boxes. So, she turned her attention back to the person on the couch, paced toward him, and asked, “Mr. Quarles, are you free tonight?” He arched his brows. “Yep!”
“Will you do me a favor?” she asked, her eyes. filled with utmost sincerity. “Tell me.” To her surprise, he seemed very willing. ‘I would like you to pose as my boyfriend and make Luke give up on me,” she said. After he heard that, he became excited, and a look of delight flashed in his eyes. “Okay, no problem.”
