“I don’t have anything to say. “Everything in our company is done in accordance with the law,” Dane said sternly.
“Can you show us the examination report of your company’s discharge to satisfy the public?” Dane choked a little
when he heard that. “You are mere reporters. What right do you have to request to see the report?” he snarled.
“You’re right. It’s because we are reporters that we have the responsibility to report on this topic to the public and
be their voice. Please answer my question, Mr. Cooke,” Josephine stated bluntly as she looked straight at Dane.
Upon hearing that, Dane finally looked at Josephine properly and realized that she was very beautiful. He
immediately had an ulterior motive in his mind and said, “Okay. I’ll agree to an interview with you. Let’s set another
date and time for a private interview.”
“You mean you’re willing to accept my interview, right?” Josephine wanted to be certain. “Of course. Our company
will provide everyone with a reasonable explanation. Give me your contact number and I will find a time for the

Josephine immediately took out a piece of paper and wrote her number on it before handing it to him. “Please
make arrangements for the interview as soon as possible, Mr.. Cooke.”
Dane’s face lit up with an evil smile after obtaining Josephine’s phone number, but he quickly put on a decent front
and responded, “Okay. Give me some time. Rest assured that I will answer the public.” Then, he touched
Josephine’s shoulder lightly and murmured, “I’ll see you next time, reporter.”
All of Josephine’s coworkers exhaled a sigh of relief after Dane left. “We’re getting an exclusive interview,
Josephine! If our company can influence the following rectification of wastewater handling, we will have truly helped
the public.” Josephine nodded in response. “You’re right. Let’s get fully prepared for the interview!”
“I’m starving! Let’s go for lunch.” Seeing that everyone was hungry, Josephine announced generously, “Lunch is on
me today!” “Wow! Thank you, Josephine! Love you!” “We’re all working for Josephine! She will undoubtedly be our
boss in the future.”
“Exactly! Do remember to take care of us by then, Josephine!” Josephine laughed at that. “How dare you all make
fun of me? Do you still want the lunch treat?”
“Of course!” Everyone stopped their teasing and drove to a nearby restaurant for lunch. Meanwhile, after the call
ended, Ethan quickly asked Atticus for the location where Josephine went for the interview. However, when he
arrived at the place, she was nowhere to be seen. He quickly pulled his phone out and called her again.
On Josephine’s end, the food was already being served at the same time. Hearing her phone ring, she smilingly
answered the call and said, “Hello, Mr. Quarles. Is there anything else?”
“Where are you?” “I… Where are you?” Josephine returned the question. “I am in front of the company that you
interviewed.”
That surprised her. “What brings you here? I’m having lunch nearby with my colleagues. Have you had your lunch
yet?” she asked, to which Ethan coldly answered, “What do you think?”
Josephine immediately felt sorry for him. “Come and join us. I’ll send you the location.”

Ethan then drove to the restaurant. Ten minutes later, he arrived in front of a small restaurant by the roadside, and
Josephine was already waiting for him at the entrance. On the other hand, her coworkers in the private room were
all feeling nervous as they now needed to have lunch with their superior.
Nonetheless, they felt honored and hopeful that they could use this lunch opportunity to get closer to Ethan. Ethan’s
face darkened the minute he saw the restaurant, and a solemn expression appeared on his face. “Shall we change
to another place?”
Josephine found him amusing. She knew that this man before her had most certainly never eaten at such a
restaurant before. “It’s not necessary! The food here is nice. Just give it a try, alright?” she urged softly. When
Ethan stepped into the private room, all of Josephine’s coworkers stood up to greet him. “Hello, Mr. Quarles!”
At that, Ethan replied, “Hi, you’ve all had a long day.” Then, he sat down next to Josephine. She then handed him
her glass of water. “Drink some water.”
