NovelOnlineAlthough 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 | 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 ton 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 doa 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 becexcited, and a
look of delight flashed in his eyes. “Okay, no problem.”
When she saw that he was so happy to help. she breathed a sigh of relief and truly hoped that Luke would cto his senses
today. That way he would not waste his youth on her. “Mr. Quarles, I'll be going back to work and will call you after work.”
“Sure, go ahead!” Ethan didn’t want to bother her at work anymore. Unfortunately, just when she returned. to her desk, a
commotion started in the group chat. Someone posted spictures they had taken at the basement parking lot. Under the
lighting, an eye-catching red Ferrari with its bright, glossy paint was parked there, marveling everyone with its price. “My god,
whose car is that standing in the VIP parking spot?”
“It's so cool! | think it costs at least seven figures.” “Who does it belong to? Will someone in the group tellwho this wealthy
woman is?’
Wren was in on it as well, so she turned to Josephine next to her and whispered enthusiastically, “Joey, do you know whose Ferrari
is that? Just look at what a commotion it is causing in the group.”

Josephine felt white noise filling her brain as she stared at that sports car displayed on the iPad in utter astonishment. Is this the
car Ethan bought for me? It's parked on the VIP spot and brand new to boot.
“I'm so envious! | wonder which wealthy man gave it as a gift. Could it belong to Tori? She has had many suitors recently, and |
heard that they're all rich businessmen.”
As Tori was a renowned host in the company, she was beautiful, talented, and also single. Thus, she was everyone's first guess.
Yet, she suddenly blurted, “It’s not mine.”
“Goodness! Whose could it be if not Tori’s?” Immediately, Wren becmore interested in the topic. While Josephine was feeling
her face burning in embarrassment, an assistant placed a paper bag on her desk. “Josephine, someone toldto pass this to
you.”
A stunned Josephine couldn't tell what was in the bag from the outside. When she picked it up and peered in, she could feel her
scalp numbing from the shock. Just as she feared, there was a box with the Ferrari logo emblemed on it. Then, as she shakily
opened the box in the paper bag, she found the car key laying silently within.
