Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

‘I, Ethan Quarles, hereby certify that Josephine Jacobson is my girlfriend.’ This sentence came as a bombshell to the group. Silence ensued and no one dared to speak up for almost a minute. Even the voices that had previously criticized and suppressed Josephine disappeared. No one dared to question the man’s identity or the authenticity of his statement.

‘Are you Mr. Quarles?’ Katrina asked boldly. ‘Yes, came the concise response. At this moment, Josephine was staring at her phone, leaning on Ethan’s shoulder on the hotel couch as she happily read the messages in the group. She accidentally showed the chat to him, and Ethan insisted on joining the company’s group chat, leading to the current situation. ‘Hello, Mr. Quarles.”

‘Mr. Quarles, you’re so handsome.’ ‘Good afternoon, Mr. Quarles.’ Ethan’s appearance was a slap in the face for many people in the group, effectively making them shut their mouths and stopping them from gossiping.

Meanwhile, Katrina, who was seated at her desk in the company, couldn’t help but think about whether or not she should add Ethan on Telegram so they could chat privately.

Feeling bold, she gritted her teeth and sent him a friend request. However, after waiting for half an hour, there was no response from Ethan’s end. She couldn’t help but feel frustrated, wondering if Josephine had discovered her private request. Her face turned red out of embarrassment and she hoped Josephine didn’t know about it.
