Chapter 2213

“Josephine, I know that Katrina has gone overboard this time, but as long as you withdraw the charges

against her, I assure you that I’ll fire her, and she’ll disappear from your life. Also, I’ll compensate you

appropriately and ask her to apologize to you,’ Atticus promised..

Unfortunately, Josephine could feel her blood boiling in her veins this time as she sneered, “Mr.

Kowalski, this matter has breached my bottom line and you can forget that I’ll ever settle this matter

peacefully. If you have any opinions against me, then I’ll submit my resignation first thing tomorrow

morning. I’ll leave the company!”

“No, Josephine. That’s not what I mean. I’m not asking you to leave. I just want to know if we can settle

this matter in private. After all, we’re colleagues and I would like you to make an exception for my

sake.”

“No, I will not. Not only Katrina but Tori is involved in this as well. Please ensure that Tori is also well

taken care of. If she remains in the company, I’ll resign as well. I do not want to see these two as long

as I continue working here,” Josephine threatened.

Atticus gulped. It didn’t matter who resigned, but that person should never be Josephine! Otherwise,

Ethan would be the one asking for him to tender his resignation. “Is there really no other solution,

Josephine?”

“No. There’s no other way aside from tossing her into prison. Also, my grandfather is still hale and

hearty, so I won’t be allowing anyone to pull any connections to get her out of serving time,” she

warned coldly.

Finally, Atticus understood her intentions and could only let Katrina pay the price for her actions. “Okay,

the company will take action against Tori as well. Don’t worry and please. come back to work.”

At midnight, Tori sobbed while cleaning herself in the hotel bathtub, retching from time to time. Even if

she didn’t end up in jail, the Heavens had bestowed upon her a different punishment because of what

she did with Katrina.

After Ethan left the hotel, he went to the TV station. As the biggest shareholder of the station, he had a

spacious and bright office that he didn’t usually use for work. Instead, he was here for fun. Right after

he arrived, he checked the list of phone number extensions next to the phone. He narrowed his eyes

as he carefully scanned the list until he found Josephine’s extension number and dialed it with his

slender fingers.

Meanwhile, Josephine had only sat down for a few minutes after that farce of a meeting when the

phone on her desk started ringing, and she instinctively picked it up. “Hello, this is the reporters’ office.

How may I help you today?”

“Come to my office upstairs,” a husky male voice said. Josephine’s beautiful eyes widened a little. “Mr.

Quarles?” “Yes. Eighteenth floor,” he replied. “Are you here to work?” The man showing up at the

company was the last thing she expected.

“Come upstairs,” he repeated once more and hung up. Immediately, Josephine rose from her seat and

sneaked toward the elevators like a thief. After she sneakily glanced around, she pressed the button for

the eighteenth floor and went all the way up. The eighteenth floor was reserved for higher

management, and she didn’t know which way to go. Just as she was anxiously pacing, sounds of

footsteps echoed from a corner and Ethan’s gorgeous face appeared.

“This way.” He was here to pick her up. She had her head lowered as she trotted to him. Her entire

demeanor made him grin in amusement. as he complained, “Why are you acting like a thief?”

“Why did you call me here?” she asked instead. After Ethan led her into his office, he closed the door,

slumped back lazily on the couch, and answered, “I just want to see you.” Josephine could feel her face

burning. “I’m still at work!”

“I bought a sports car for you,” he said with a raised brow. She jerked her head at him and was stunned

to silence for a few seconds. Is this guy okay? Why did he buy me a sports car? “No! I can’t and won’t

be accepting this gift,” she hurriedly rejected.

Alas, he tossed the problem back to her. “I’ve already placed my purchase and it will be delivered in the

afternoon. What am I going to do if you won’t accept it?” She blinked as she bit her lip and tentatively.

inquired, “Can you return it?”

“Nope.” ‘Then, you should’ve asked for my opinion in the first place before making such a purchase!”

Isn’t this guy a little reckless? she thought in bewilderment.

‘The car will be parked at the VIP spot in the basement parking lot, and you can use it whenever you

want.” Ethan had always been at rather overbearing person, so he would never take back the gift that

he had specifically bought for someone else. The instant it was out of his hands, it wasn’t his problem

any longer. The other party could do anything with it, except return it to him.
