âYet Ethan told me he only sees you as a younger sister. If he really likes you, he will start to notice you more after you come of age. If he doesnât like you, even if you bother him for the rest of his life, he will never have feelings for you, Josephine persuaded her calmly. âYouâ Jenna was furious, for Josephineâs words were really hurting her ego..
âIf you wonât take my word for it, Miss Langley, thereâs nothing else I can do. If youâre trying to convince me to leave Ethan, youâll just be wasting your breath, Josephine said coldly. âHmph! Do you really think you can handle a man like Ethan?â
âYou donât have to instill doubt in my mind. We love each other. On the other hand, people like you with no one to love should be the ones worrying!â Josephine said with finality in her. tone. âWell, I still have a job to do. I wonât be seeing you off.â
âJosephine, stop right there!â Jenna got up angrily and called after Josephine. With a frown, Josephine said, âIf you continue to cause trouble in the office, I wonât mind getting the security guard to kick you out. This is an office. Itâs not a palace for you to fool around.â
Jenna was rendered speechless from anger. She didnât want Ethan to be alerted about this, so she ultimately picked up her bag and left. After leaving the pantry, Josephine had a feeling that Jenna had malicious intentions. It seemed like she had made the right choice to stay calm and not fall for Jennaâs tricks. She only needed to trust herself, Ethan, and their feelings for one another. She didnât need to believe anyone else.
Josephine received a call from Atticus at 3.00PM, asking her to head up. Thinking it was about work, she headed up with no second thoughts. Just as she got into the elevator, she ran into Tori. When she noticed that Tori was also going to the twelfth floor, she suddenly understood what was going on.
âJosephine, congratulations! Miss Ainâs position is yours now!â Tori said in a weird tone. âNow the whole company knows that Miss Ain will be fired soon. You donât have to worry about getting kicked out of the company anymore.â
Josephine had her heart in her mouth. It was obviously just a chance for promotion, but Tori made it sound as if Josephine had forced Ain out of the position..
âIâve never thought of replacing Miss Ain. She needs two years to recover from her illness. Iâll just be taking over her position temporarily,â Josephine said warily.
As soon as she said that, the elevator arrived on the twelfth floor with a ding. Josephine stepped out of the elevator, and a mocking voice was immediately heard behind her.
âHaha! You mean when Miss Ain returns, youâd go back to your initial job?â Josephine responded without looking back, âWeâll just have to wait and see what the companyâs arrangements are then!â
âWhat company arrangement? Isnât this all your arrangement? If you say a word now, you can have any position you want,â Tori sneered. âIsnât this company yours already?â
âMiss Alford, watch your words. Maybe Iâd be interested in your position as well.â Josephine turned around as she spoke to intimidate her.
As expected, Toriâs triumphant face turned flustered. âJosephine, do you think just anyone can take my post? You shouldnât talk so much if you donât want the company to go bankrupt.â
Josephine smiled calmly. âMiss Alford, are you scared?â Tori faked her confidence and said with her head held high, âI have nothing to be afraid of. Even if I donât stay with this company, I have so many other places to go. Capable people wouldnât be at the bottom for long.â
Josephine ignored the lady and knocked on the office door. When Atticus saw her, he greeted her with a big smile, âJosephine! Weâve made some arrangements in the company. Starting this week, weâll train you for a week to get you accustomed to Ainâs position.â
âAlright! Iâll do my best.â Josephine was no longer humbling herself. Now that she had reached here, she could finally stand on her own two feet.
âWell, weâve completed all your transferal procedures. After youâre done with your handover, you can come back up anytime. If you donât understand anything, you can ask the senior employees, like Yuna, Gabriella, or even Lennox!â
âOkay! I understand,â Josephine agreed happily.
