With her crouching stance, Katrina was certain that Ethan could see a part of her bosom. She even purposefully
squeezed both of her arms together, trying to enhance her good figure and make it more revealing.
However, Ethan simply took a pen, flipped the documents, and straightaway signed them. Katrina then slowly tidied
up the documents while smilingly saying, “Are you here alone, Mr. Quarles? Do you feel bored? Would you like me
to stay here with you?”
“That’s not necessary. Ethan then returned his gaze to the magazine that he was holding. When Katrina stood up,
she intentionally touched her forehead for a while before falling into Ethan’s arms. With her hand pressing against
his chest, she breathlessly said, “I’m sorry. I skipped lunch and am feeling a little dizzy now.”
Ethan’s eyes immediately narrowed. Staring at her hands, he coldly said, “Get your hands off me.” “I’m sorry.”
Katrina’s face was flushed with embarrassment. I’ve already hinted at it so obviously, but he’s refusing to take my

“You can leave now,” Ethan muttered, his face darkening. He did not enjoy being disturbed. “Alright. I’m leaving
right now.” Katrina took the documents and hurriedly exited the room.
The moment she left the room, she heaved a deep breath. She couldn’t figure out why she couldn’t attract Ethan,
but Josephine could. What precisely does Josephine have to enchant Ethan so much? In what way am I inferior to
her?
“Josephine, what exactly have you done to bewitch Mr. Quarles?” Katrina mumbled as she walked away, feeling
disappointed. When she returned to the company, Josephine was in the pantry, appearing to be writing something
with a cup of coffee beside her. She was dressed in a gray blouse and skirt, with her hair tied messily on top of her
head. She looked far from elegant and appeared rather sloppy instead. Katrina couldn’t help but wonder what it
was about Josephine that Ethan liked.
At this point, Josephine sipped her coffee and gazed out the window, seemingly thinking of something. Her side
profile was lovely, with her sharp nose and soft lips. Even her jawline appeared flawless. As she blinked her eyes,
her eyelashes fluttered, displaying the allure of a professional woman.
Katrina felt her heart skip a beat when she saw that. It was undeniable that Josephine’s. enthusiasm for her career
was something Katrina lacked. When Katrina first joined the company, all she wanted was secure employment
while looking for a wealthy guy to marry in the future.
Unlike her, Josephine was known to be a workaholic. She treated her job as something that could establish her
worth. Then again, Josephine does not need to marry a wealthy man, Katrina reasoned. She’s the only daughter in
her family. Her grandfather is a high-ranking government official and I heard that her father works for the mayor.
She totally has a good starting point in her life! She absolutely has nothing to worry about! Comparing myself to her
will just make my life appear to be worse! What makes me angrier is that she now has a filthy rich boyfriend who
loves her and only her. I’ve already seen it for myself. She can effortlessly get things that most people will never be
able to obtain no matter how hard they try. The world is indeed unfair.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMeanwhile, Josephine’s phone, which was placed beside her, rang just as she finished writing. She smiled as she
saw the phone’s screen and she then answered the call. “Hello, Dad! Are you back?”
“I heard that you’ve moved to your colleague’s house for work. I’m back now, so let’s have dinner together tonight
at your Grandpa’s place.”
“Sure!” Josephine agreed with a smile. Her father only came back twice a month, so she would never pass up the
opportunity to get together with him.
After a brief moment of contemplation, she thought of someone and asked cautiously, “Dad, can I bring along a
friend of mine to Grandpa’s place tonight?” “Friend? Your friend at work or…”
“Uh… It’s my friend. A man.” Josephine had expressed it so clearly that anyone could understand what she meant.
Laughter immediately echoed from the other end of the line. “Sure! Bring him over for your Grandpa to have a
look!”
