Chapter 2105
Night of Destiny
Yet, in the contract Ethan just signed, he committed a total of 725 million to the
project. After seeing Ethan off, Atticus instantly breathed a sigh of relief as his
struggling TV station finally received a new lease on life. Moreover, the projects that
he had put on hold now had the funds to get started. He could finally showcase his
abilities. He called his assistant over. âCall Josephine over. I want to talk to her.â
When Josephine received the call from Atticusâ assistant, she was a little puzzled.
Why did Mr. Kowalski suddenly want to talk to me? With a lot of questions in her mind,
she went up to the directorâs office. As soon as she entered, she saw the usually
serious Atticus smiling at her and greeting her, âHi, Josephine! Come on in.â
âIs there something you need from me, Mr. Kowalski?â âHave a sit. Thereâs something
I want to talk to you about.â Atticus pointed to the couch and sat himself down as well.
He looked like he had become ten years younger, and even the bald spot in the
middle of his head seemed livelier. After she sat down, she couldnât help feeling
nervous. âWhat is it, Mr. Kowalski?â
âWell, Josephine, can you first tell me what kind of relationship you have with Mr.
Quarles?â At once, she became speechless. Why is everyone asking me this question
today? Even Mr. Kowalski? What kind of relationship could I have with Ethan? Arenât
we just acquaintances? âWeâre just acquaintances.â She smiled.
âMr. Quarles is pursuing you, isnât he?â Hearing that, her face flushed, and she quickly
waved her hand. âNo, no. Thereâs nothing like that.â
However, Atticus looked at Josephine very seriously and said, âTell me the truth,
Josephine. Are you two dating? This is very important.â Her heart skipped a beat, and
then she told the truth, âWeâre really not. Weâre just friends who have had a meal or
two together.â
âSo, Mr. Quarles is pursuing you then!â âIâ¦Iâm not sure about that.â She didnât dare
simply answer this question. If the answer was no, she would only embarrass herself.
At this moment, Atticus scrutinized her face with sharp eyes. In his eyes, she was a
pretty and energetic young girl, and it was not surprising that Ethan would pursue her.
Josephine was getting uncomfortable being scrutinized by him, so she forced a smile
and asked, âMr. Kowalski, is Mr. Quarles your guest?â
âArenât you guys close? You should know what heâs here for.â He didnât answer her
directly. When she heard his reply, she chuckled awkwardly. âI was just asking.â âGet
off work at 3.00PM later. Go home early and dress yourself up. I have a social
engagement for you tonight.â
At once, her brain went blank for a few seconds. What kind of social engagement
requires me to dress up? Iâm just a small reporter. I donât think I need to be there even
if there is an important social engagement. After all, our company has several wellknown female
anchors with good looks and figures!
âOr⦠you donât have to go home. Instead, go to the dress shop next door. Iâll call them
and ask them to dress you up.â âI donât think thatâs necessary, Mr. Kowalski.â
âIt is necessary, absolutely necessary. You can go now.â After saying that, Atticus
waved his hand to dismiss her. Perturbed, she left the office, still unable to understand
why she was being asked to attend a social engagement.
Shortly after she left the office, Katrina came in and asked directly, âAtticus, who was
that handsome man in the conference room with you just now?â After a chuckle, he
asked, âWhy? Youâre interested in him?â
âIâm already at that age to marry, Atticus. Ivanka keeps asking you to introduce me to
someone. Canât you introduce that handsome man to me?â she said with a hopeful
face.
Atticus looked at his sister-in-lawâs face, which was quite pretty, but someone as
wealthy as Ethan was out of her league. âItâs not that I donât want to introduce him to
you, Kat, but the gap between your status and that of Mr. Quarles is too great.â
âDonât underestimate me, Atticus. Just introduce him to me.â She persisted. âAlright,
hereâs what I can do. We have a banquet among the high-level executives tonight,
and Mr. Quarles will be there too. You can come along. Thatâs the most I can do. To
capture his heart, youâll have to show him what youâve got.â
