“You!” Luke was about to blow his top. Josephine quickly stopped him, for she didn’t want to draw everyone's attention and let them watch two men fight for her. She took Luke’s hand and tried to appease him with her feminine charm. “Calm down, Luke. Letdeal with this.” It was Luke's first thearing the woman speak to him softly. Under the lights, her smile was just as bright as pearls. Her lips, brows, and eyes were stunningly alluring.
While Luke fell into a dazed state, Ethan also noticed the woman showing her charm. It was as though she was able to enchant any man in the world.
Luke soon calmed down. When Josephine turned to look at Ethan, the smile disappeared from her face, and her expression turned dispassionate in an instant. It was as though she wasn’t even willing to spare him a smile.
‘This way please, Mr. Quarles.” Josephine extended her hand, thinking that they'd better talk everything out. She wondered if she had offended him in any way before.

As expected, Josephine is trying to snatch Ethan from me. She’s such a b*tch! Josephine stood beside a lamppost, staying away from the boisterous crowd and loud music. Then, she said to the man, “What do you want to tell me, Mr. Quarles? You'd better hurry up.” “There's nothing | want to say.” Ethan crossed his arms, feeling speechless. She seems to be blaming everything on me.

Isn't she your girlfriend?” Josephine knew that Selena was staring in their direction. “I've only known her for several days,” Ethan explained.
