Standing in front of him, she occasionally tucked her hair behind her ear or pursed her lips. Her movements were filled with coquettish energy.
The rest of the female colleagues watched her flirtatious gestures with a mixture of scorn and derision.
Be that as it may, Katrina brazenly. continued to flaunt her coquettish charm.
After delivering the documents, Josephine. rounded the corner and immediately caught sight of Katrina standing next to Ethan. She couldn't help feeling extremely disgusted by Katrina's aggressive courtship toward Ethan. Approaching her desk, she questioned, âCan I help you?â
âOhl! Youâre back! I just noticed that I brought the wrong document.â The document that Katrina was holding had been randomly taken. from one of their colleaguesâ desks. Naturally, she could not show nor hand them over to Josephine.
Josephine immediately saw through Katrinaâs little trick and smiled. âWhy donât you show me the document?â Katrina hastily hugged the document to her chest and guiltily burst out, âI grabbed the wrong document by mistake!â
âDid you grab the wrong document? Or were you deliberately being inappropriate in front of my boyfriend? Did you think I wouldnât see through your schemes?â Josephine countered without giving Katrina any room to wriggle out of the situation.
âW-What are you saying?â Katrina blushed. furiously, feeling so guilty that she did not dare. to look at Ethan.
âWhat am I saying? Iâm saying that you should stop sticking to my boyfriend like an annoying fly that wonât go away!â Josephine declared forcefully.
âJosephine, how can you insult me in such a manner? Mr. Quarles, please ask her to mind. her manners!â Katrina immediately lodged her grievances to Ethan in hopes of showing him Josephineâs disgraceful side. Ethan raised his eyes at those words.
âJosephine is right.â
When Katrina heard that, she blushed so hard that even the tips of her ears went red. On the other hand, Josephine took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire. âKatrina, you told me that my boyfriend invited Tori out for dinner. You also claimed that there was an ambiguous atmosphere between them in the restaurant. Did you witness the scene yourself, or were you simply repeating the nonsensical gossip you heard from others?â His handsome face revealed his astonishment.
âWho said that?â
Katrina immediately panicked. Waving her hands in denial, she quickly explained herself. âJosephine, I was just repeating the gossip I heard from others. I donât know anything. Please donât blame me!â
Ethan abruptly turned to glare at Katrina with at frigid look in his eyes. âWhat the hell are you talking about?â
âNo, no⦠Mr. Quarles, I simply repeated the nonsensical gossip I heard from others. Iâm sorry. Iâm so very sorry!â Katrina anxiously apologized repeatedly.
âThat is to say, the meal he shared with Tori was just a normal interaction between employer and employee!â Josephine asserted. However, her gaze drifted toward a certain. man. She was hoping that he could explain the incident.
Ethan quickly explained, âJoey, I did go to the restaurant that day, but I was planning to have lunch with you! I left immediately when I saw that you werenât there. Afterward, I went to the place where you were holding an interview to have lunch with you! Do you remember that day?â
His response stunned her. âI do!â âThatâs right! Atticus invited me out for lunch. That day. He claimed that he had business to discuss with me, so I asked him to bring you along. However, only a female employee was waiting at the restaurant when I arrived. Thatâs why I went looking for you instead.â
Katrina couldnât help swallowing nervously. What? Is Miss Alford just a female employee in Mr. Quarlesâ
eyes? Doesnât he know that she is the number one idol of the TV station?
