When Love Breaks (Josephine)

Joe furiously slammed his phone onto the desk.

Neither of his sons respected him at all. It was as if they were deliberately trying to drive him crazy.

If he handed over the company to them, it wouldn't take long before they lost everything he had built.

Joe didn't know what to do. Zayn had stormed off in anger, and Yvan was completely unreliable. Was he really going to sit back and watch Forbes Group fall into someone else's hands?

After thinking it through, Joe realized that compared to Yvan, Zayn was easier to reason with. He had to find a way to bring Zayn back to manage the company. If worse came to worst, he could always offer him more shares.

When Josephine and Ethan arrived at the research site, the staff gave them knowing looks.

In fact, they had always gotten those looks whenever they showed up together. It wasn't because anyone had seen anything suspicious between them-it was just natural for people to speculate when a handsome man and a beautiful woman were constantly seen together.

Especially since neither Josephine nor Ethan were the flirtatious type. Aside from each other, they were rarely seen with anyone else, making it even easier for people to assume things.

Back then, Josephine had never given it much thought, so she never paid attention. But now that she knew Ethan's true identity and his feelings for her, she was hyper-aware of him. The moment she stepped through the door and noticed the staff's glances, her face instantly flushed.

She couldn't help but take a few steps away from Ethan.

Ethan noticed but didn't say anything, letting her keep her distance.

Throughout the day, he acted as if nothing had changed, which helped Josephine relax.

At one o'clock, it was lunchtime. Josephine was about to head out to find something to eat when Ethan approached her. "I looked up a restaurant nearby last night. Want to check it out?"

Usually, she would agree without thinking twice. Ever since she had met him, every place he had taken her to and every dish he had recommended had been exactly to her taste. She trusted his choices completely.

But now, his invitation felt like an effort to please her. If she accepted, wouldn't that mean she was accepting his advances as well?

As she hesitated, Ethan chuckled. "Looks like you've completely forgotten about Graham and only see me as Ethan. That's a good

thing, but I should remind you

used to be best friends. Even if it's

just as an old friend, can't treat you to a meal?"

The mention of Graham's name snapped her out of her thoughts. He had already told her he was the et same Graham from her childhood, so why was she still struggling to connect the dots and only seeing him as the perfect Ethan?

Because he had changed, both in appearance and personality.

Back then, Graham hadn't liked to interact with others and was borderline reclusive. He was constantly bullied at school, and the only thing he seemed to enjoy was feeding stray cats and dogs.

But after she had stepped in and saved him from his bullies, they had become inseparable.

They were so close back then!

Not only had they shared everything with each other, but Josephine had never cared about appearances around him. She had treated him like a girl best friend, freely revealing even the darkest corners of her heart. .

Thinking about it made her cheeks flush. "You don't remember all of that, do you?"
