Josephine did her best to hurry. Along the way, she received reminders from her
colleague Wren, who also sent her a message asking, ‘We're in the meeting room.
Where are you?’
When Josephine arrived at the company building, she rushed into the meeting room
with her bag as fast as she could but was still half an hour late.
Mr. Fox's expression didn’t look good, and the other staff members cast glances at
her. Noticing that, Josephine smiled apologetically. “Sorry, | got stuck in traffic on the
way.”
“From what | know, there’s never been traffic on the roads you take to work. If you're

Nothing is going on between us,” Josephine replied somewhat nervously.
“Joey, can we do a news feature on this handsguy? Our entertainment news
department is lacking this kind of handsman that is hard to cby. | believe

asked, “Hey, have you heard? Miss Ain might be retiring.”
“Why?” Josephine asked surprisedly “I heard she got sick and needs to rest.
Moreover, she has to go abroad for treatment, so her position will be vacant. Many
people are eyeing it!” Wren finished speaking and signaled to her. “I think you have a
chance at it.”
Of course, Josephine also wanted to get the position because her initial dream was to

However, the competition in this industry was too fierce. After working as a journalist
