Chapter 1939: Chapter 1939

“Thank you, Ethan.” Deep down, Josephine was touched by his gesture. I feel like he’s investing in the company for me. “There’s no need to thank me. It’s always been your dream, no? And I’m glad I can make your dream come true,” answered Ethan in a low voice. That’s why I threw a lot of money in. I want her to be happy.

“How can I repay you?’ Josephine bit her lip.. Ethan has been a big help. I can’t just take advantage of him after he helps me with many things. A simple thank you’ isn’t enough to express my gratitude.

“It’s not a big deal. I’m happy to help, really.” Ethan insisted on not taking anything from her. However, Josephine still planned on giving him something in return. I can’t take it for granted. Josephine smiled.

“I don’t need anything.”

“I heard that you have been interested in the position of a news anchor. Since you’re excelling in your job and also studied broadcast communication back in university, I don’t see at problem in promoting you to a news anchor. It’s my fault for overlooking an employee as excellent as you and wasting your talents,” Atticus said. Josephine let out a strained chuckle.

When the assistant returned to her office, she called Katrina out of spite. When the call connected, she cut to the chase. “Can you believe it, Kat? A while ago, Mr. Kowalski asked me to prepare the best tea we have for his guest. I thought he was seeing someone important, but it turned out to be Josephine. I don’t understand why she has gotten so lucky to the degree that even Mr. Kowalski has to grovel at her!’ “What? Is Josephine in a meeting with Atticus?”

Katrina asked nervously. “Yes. I think they’re talking about work. Anyway, I don’t think anybody can ever match her status in the company from this moment on.” “I’ll be right there.” With that, Katrina hung up the phone.

Soon, she showed up in the corridor and arrived at the door of Atticus’ office. Due to her experience in eavesdropping, she was aware that she could open the door without alerting anyone in the office if she pressed the door handle hard.

As the assistant kept watch for her, she quietly. pushed the door open and listened in to the ongoing conversation in the office. Meanwhile, Atticus was offering Josephine a promotion to become a news anchor. He insisted on his offer. ‘Josephine, let’s do it this way-you take up Ain’s position first. I’ll assign her another job when she returns.”

‘Is that really okay?” Josephine hesitated as she mused to herself, I’m just filling the vacancy when Ain is not around. It’s two years at most. After all, Ain needs such a long time to recover.

“There’s nothing wrong about it. I’m the director here. It’s up to me to decide whom I want to promote.

Besides, you’re Mr. Quarles’ girlfriend. I can’t possibly allow you to remain a reporter and have you experience the bad weather. Mr. Quarles won’t like it,’ Atticus explained.

Katrina was boiling in anger when she heard such words from Atticus. I’ve had enough! At that, she pushed the door open and stormed inside. “Atticus, that’s not fair! I’m not bad myself, aren’t I? I can also handle the position!”

Katrina didn’t bother to tone down her anger. The commotion took Josephine aback. Has Katrina been eavesdropping this whole time? Katrina turned to Josephine without warning and accused, “Josephine, do you have no shame at all? You can’t accept Atticus’ offer!” “Why not? I believe that I’m competent,”

Josephine arched her brows and countered.

“Hmph! You’re not the only competent person in the company. Others are also capable of taking this position.” Katrina huffed. “It’s just not fair to the others! What’s so special about her that you’re letting her take the job? Atticus, you promised me the same!”

‘Don’t be ridiculous, Kat. We’re at work. It’s about business.’ Atticus pulled a long face. Katrina had always been a nuisance to him.

“It’s unfair! I suggest going through an interview and a test. She has to do the same and pass if you want me to let the matter drop. Or else I’ll make it known among the employees.” Katrina refused to back down. Josephine turned to Atticus. ‘I agree with her, Mr. Kowalski. We’ll do it fair and square.”

After that, Josephine rose from her seat and took her leave. Katrina followed suit and caught up with her, sneering, “Josephine, do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you have a big shot like Mr. Quarles to back you up?”
