Josephine’s beautiful face started heating up. “I’m at work!” “I got you a sports car,’ Ethan brought up with his eyebrows raised. She immediately turned to him and froze for a few seconds. Is he okay? Why would he buy me a sports car as well?! “No! I can’t accept it. You mustn’t send it to me either!” Josephine immediately rejected his present.
“But I placed the order and they’ll send it over this afternoon. What am I supposed to do with the car if you don’t take it?” Ethan threw the question back to her. She blinked a few times upon hearing that. Eventually, she bit her lip and asked, “Can your return it?”
“Nope!” “You should have asked for my opinion before you bought the car!” He’s too impulsive! “The car will be at the VIP parking space in the underground parking lot. You can drive it whenever you want. Being the high-and-mighty person he was, Ethan would not take back a present he had gifted someone.
On the other hand, Josephine might have seen her fair share of domineering people in her life, but she had never met someone so unreasonably bossy!
“Just return it. My car works perfectly fine. I don’t need a sports car,’ she muttered while continuing to chew on her lip. Ethan smiled and gracefully shrugged. “It’s fine. A sports car is just a normal gift to me. If you don’t want it, just leave it there in the car park!”
Josephine felt herself getting flustered as she looked at his rows of pearly whites. He sure was a sight to behold when he smiled. Right then, her phone began to ring. When she saw that it was a call from Luke, she quickly.
went to the window and took the call. “Hey, Luke,” “Joey, I booked a table at a restaurant for us tonight. I’ll come to pick you up after work.” Luke’s voice rang out from the other end of the line.
“Got it,” Josephine replied. She couldn’t just bail on him when she was the one who agreed to treat him to a meal. However, there was one thing she decided to make clear to him tonight-she and Luke could. only be friends. She wanted him to stop wasting his time on her.
However, after learning about the great lengths he went to pursue her this year, she was sure that he wouldn’t give up just like that if she only rejected him verbally. That being said, there was a possibility he would if she let him know that she had given her heart away to someone she liked.
After pondering over it, Josephine realized she only knew one man who was more outstanding, handsome, and wealthier than Luke which could make him give up..
She then turned around to look at the man sitting on the couch before she walked over. “Mr. Quarles, are you free tonight?” she asked, to which he raised his eyebrows.
“Mhm.” “Can you help me with a little something, please?” she begged. “Shoot.” Ethan was more than willing to help..
“I would like to have you pretend to be my boyfriend and reject Luke for me.” Ethan was immediately in high spirits as a humorous glint appeared in his eyes. “Sure thing.”
Josephine let out a sigh of relief when she saw how readily Ethan agreed to help. She only hoped that Luke would come to his senses tonight and stop wasting his life.
“I’ll get back to work, Mr. Quarles. I’ll contact you when I get off work tonight, Josephine stated. After all, she couldn’t neglect her work when she was in front of the big boss. “Alright, then. Off you go.” Meanwhile, Ethan didn’t want to get in the way of her work.
When Josephine returned to her seat, there was a sudden commotion in the work group chat. Someone was sending some pictures taken in the underground parking lot. The pictures were of a red Ferrari sports car parked under the lights. Everyone was shocked by how costly the car was from the way the radiant paint on the car’s surface reflected the light. ‘My goodness! Whose car is it? It’s parked in the VIP parking space.”
‘That’s so cool! It’s probably worth millions!’ ‘Whose is it?! Does anyone in the group know which rich lady this car belongs to?”
Wren was also gossiping with everyone else. She then asked Josephine, who was beside her, “Joey, do you know whose car is it? The group’s gone crazy because of it.”
Josephine thought her brain was about to explode as she stared at the sports car on the screen of the iPad. It can’t be the sports car Ethan gave me, can it? It’s parked at the VIP spot, and it is brand new!
