Chapter 2112

After the duo had left the room and entered the elevator, Josephine felt Ethan hold her hand casually.

She didn’t take her hand out. Now that she had sobered up, she was in disbelief and dared not to look

at him.

After they got into the car, Ethan turned on some music for her to relax. As Josephine looked at the

lively night street, she felt something different. It felt like… They were in love.

After some time, Ethan arrived at Josephine’s home. Just as Josephine was about to exit the car,

Ethan suddenly leaned toward her and held her hand. “Are you in need of a boyfriend, Miss

Jacobson?”

Josephine was shocked. At that moment, she recalled their kiss just now and thought, is he taking

advantage of the kiss to court me? Thinking about it, she quickly said, “I’m still dizzy from the alcohol,

Mr. Quarles. Can we talk about this tomorrow?”

Ethan knew what she was planning. “Is this a hit and run, Miss Jacobson?” Josephine was

embarrassed. After all, he seemed to be implying that she was a playgirl. She wasn’t, though! She was

unprepared as she had never expected such a thing to happen tonight!

“I’m dizzy, Mr. Quarles. I need to get home now. Goodbye, and drive safe.” As Josephine spoke, she

quickly exited the car and closed the door. Then, she hurried into her house and stood by the bushes,

looking at the car from the gaps as it slowly drove away. She sighed and rubbed her lips. God, it must

have been swollen, she thought. When she entered the living room, she quickly said to Heidi, who was

watching the television, “I’m exhausted, Mom. I’m going to go upstairs.”

“You should have come home sooner if you are exhausted,” replied Heidi. However, she didn’t ask

anything more and continued watching the TV.

After Josephine entered her room, she quickly rushed to the bathroom. Looking at the mirror, she saw

that her face was flushed, and her lips were rosy red even though she had no lipstick on. It was

obvious that it was because of the kiss.

“This is so embarrassing.” Josephine buried her face in her hands. Ethan would be her boss, and they

would encounter each other in the company. Yet, she did such intimate things with him.

Josephine was indeed exhausted. After taking a bath, she went to sleep and had a dreamless night.

The following day, she went to the company as usual. However, before stepping into the

building, she heard someone call out to her. “It’s me, Joey.” Josephine turned around and saw Luke

waving at her by the entrance. There was also a cardboard box by his side, seemingly to have

something expensive inside. “Come over here and open it, Joey. You’ll be surprised,” said Luke. “What

is it?” asked Josephine.

“You’ll know once you open it! I’m going to take a call. Hurry up and open it.” Josephine felt speechless

when she saw that Luke had told his assistant to record the moment of her being touched by his gift.

“Not now. I need to clock in,” she said to him.

“No, no, no. Just open it, Josephine. I put so much effort into this.” Luke pleaded. He reached out and

stopped her from entering the company.

Josephine had seen how clingy he would get. If she refused to open this present, she knew he would

bring it to her office and ask her to open it. Thus, she decided to open the gift immediately to stop him

from disturbing her colleagues. “You’ll let me go to work as long as I open it, right?” she asked.

“Yes. As long as you open it, I will not disturb you,” Luke said confidently. After thinking momentarily,

Josephine walked toward the purple box while Luke stood aside and made a phone call.

Josephine crouched and untied the ribbon. When she opened the box, she saw that it was filled with

balloons. Moreover, they seemed to be helium balloons.

After she had opened the box, she allowed the balloons to fly toward the sky. Beside her, the assistant

quickly shouted, “Miss Jacobson! Grab the balloon! Grab it!”
