NovelOnline“Josephine, | know that Katrina has gone overboard this time, but as long as you withdraw the charges against her, | assure you
that I'll fire her, and she'll disappear from your life. Also, I'll compensate you appropriately and ask her to apologize to you,” Atticus
promised.
Unfortunately, Josephine could feel her blood boiling in her veins this tas she sneered, “Mr. Kowalski, this matter has breached
my bottom line and you can forget that I'll ever settle this matter peacefully. If you have any opinions against me, then I'll submit
my resignation first thing tomorrow morning. I'll leave the company!”
“No, Josephine. That's not what | mean. I'm not asking you to leave. | just want to know if we can settle this matter in private. After
all, we're colleagues and | would like you to make an exception for my sake.”
“No, I will not. Not only Katrina but Tori is involved in this as well. Please ensure that Tori is also well taken care of. If she remains in
the company, I'll resign as well. | do not want to see these two as long as | continue working here,” Josephine threatened.

Atticus gulped. It didn’t matter who resigned, but that person should never be Josephine! Otherwise, Ethan would be the one
asking for him to tender his resignation. “Is there really no other solution, Josephine?”
“No. There's no other way aside from tossing her into prison. Also, my grandfather is still hale and hearty, so | won't be allowing
anyone to pull any connections to get her out of serving time,” she warned coldly.
Finally, Atticus understood her intentions and could only let Katrina pay the price for her actions. “Okay, the company will take
action against Tori as well. Don’t worry and please. cback to work.”
At midnight, Tori sobbed while cleaning herself in the hotel bathtub, retching from tto time. Even if she didn’t end up in jail, the
Heavens had bestowed upon her a different punishment because of what she did with Katrina.
After Ethan left the hotel, he went to the TV station. As the biggest shareholder of the station, he had a spacious and bright office
that he didn’t usually use for work. Instead, he was here for fun. Right after he arrived, he checked the list of phone number
extensions next to the phone. He narrowed his eyes as he carefully scanned the list until he found Josephine’s extension number
and dialed it with his slender fingers.
Meanwhile, Josephine had only sat down for a few minutes after that farce of a meeting when the phone on her desk started
ringing, and she instinctively picked it up. “Hello, this is the reporters’ office. How may | help you today?”
“Cto my office upstairs,” a husky male voice said. Josephine’s beautiful eyes widened a little. “Mr. Quarles?” “Yes. Eighteenth
floor,” he replied. “Are you here to work?” The man showing up at the company was the last thing she expected.
“Cupstairs,” he repeated once more and hung up. Immediately, Josephine rose from her seat and sneaked toward the
elevators like a thief. After she sneakily glanced around, she pressed the button for the eighteenth floor and went all the way up.
The eighteenth floor was reserved for higher management, and she didn’t know which way to go. Just as she was anxiously pacing,
sounds of footsteps echoed from a corner and Ethan's gorgeous face appeared.
“This way.” He was here to pick her up. She had her head lowered as she trotted to him. Her entire demeanor made him grin in
amusement. as he complained, “Why are you acting like a thief?”

“Why did you callhere?” she asked instead. After Ethan led her into his office, he closed the door, slumped back lazily on the
couch, and answered, “I just want to see you.” Josephine could feel her face burning. “I'm still at work!”
“| bought a sports car for you,” he said with a raised brow. She jerked her head at him and was stunned to silence for a few
seconds. Is this guy okay? Why did he buya sports car? “No! | can’t and won't be accepting this gift,” she hurriedly rejected.
Alas, he tossed the problem back to her. “I've already placed my purchase and it will be delivered in the afternoon. What am |
going to do if you won't accept it?” She blinked as she bit her lip and tentatively. inquired, “Can you return it?”
“Nope.” ‘Then, you should've asked for my opinion in the first place before making such a purchase!” Isn't this guy a little
reckless? she thought in bewilderment.
‘The car will be parked at the VIP spot in the basement parking lot, and you can use it whenever you want.” Ethan had always been
at rather overbearing person, so he would never take back the gift that he had specifically bought for someone else. The instant it
was out of his hands, it wasn’t his problem any longer. The other party could do anything with it, except return it to him.
