Never Too Far Novel

After all, it was Josephine’s first day with him. Therefore, she still somewhat couldn’t accept sharing the same bathroom with him face-to-face.

Even so, Josephine still couldn’t help but secretly peek at Ethan through the glass door when she heard the sound of water running inside. Like the bathing scene of the male lead in a blockbuster movie, every line of his body that was carved on the glass was perfect and alluring.

The longer she stared at Ethan’s silhouette, the more she felt the temperature of the water getting hotter and hotter.

Eventually, Ethan was the first to finish washing up. When he came out of the shower, he wrapped his lower body loosely with a towel. Then, he came to the bathtub, cupped Josephine’s face, kissed it, and said in a hoarse voice, “I’ll be waiting for you on the bed.”

Josephine simply blinked. Don’t tell me he still wants more! But then, judging from his condition, he does look like he is still somewhat eager for more.

After all, Ethan had just tasted the woman he fancied and yearned for today. Therefore, he couldn’t possibly be satisfied with only a few rounds, especially when he had been holding himself back so hard for the sake of caring for Josephine’s emotions this afternoon. For that reason, Josephine must be prepared to repay him for saving her life tonight.

Later, she came out of the bathroom wearing camisole pajamas and her hair down, exuding a vibe of wild comeliness. Every curve of her body that would normally be tightly wrapped in her occupational attire was lined out perfectly in the alluring small camisole pajamas. Her smooth and delicate calves were fair and slender like a work of art under the light. The design of her burgundy pajamas, which precisely covered down until her knees, was sexy and tempting, making her exude a seductive aura.

As a result, Ethan, who was resting his head on his arm while waiting for her on the bed, found himself to be so captivated that he was unable to take his eyes off her at all. This woman is like a treasure that I have discovered by myself, and at the same time, she can only be mine for the rest of my life.

Ethan lifted the blanket and got out of bed. His tall figure towered over Josephine like a dense net. Without the help of her high heels, Josephine’s current height was only slightly taller than his shoulders, making her look extraordinarily petite and mesmerizing.

With a smile, Ethan easily lifted her slim waist. Josephine naturally wrapped her legs around his waist and buried her face into his shoulders sheepishly.

“You smell so nice,” Ethan praised in a hoarse voice.

Despite not suffering from any medicinal effect at this moment, Josephine still felt as though the medicinal effect was still lingering within her. She was infatuated with Ethan’s charm and couldn’t control herself.

Truth be told, she had a daring thought in mind—the first time she saw him, she had the urge to sleep with him. Although she was a woman, she had no intentions of hiding this thought of hers at all.

I can’t believe my dream eventually came true! Ha! This is perhaps the bravest thing I have ever done in my life.

“Does it still hurt?” Ethan asked in a deep voice.

Josephine felt her private area for a little before she shook her head sheepishly in his arms. Ethan was overjoyed when he saw this. At once, he turned off the lights, keeping the room dimly lit. Carrying Josephine in his arms, he walked toward the bed.

In the past, Josephine could only rely on her imagination when completing her copywriting work for both genders. However, things would be different starting today. Now, she could finally voice her thoughts based on her own experience.

She finally tasted the pleasure of close intimacy between a couple, which she wrote about.

Josephine’s biological clock woke her up early the next morning. She opened her eyes and saw that she was resting her head on Ethan’s strong arm. At once, everything that happened in this bed last night streamed into her mind, and she curved her rosy lips blissfully.

As soon as she moved, Ethan opened his eyes. Staring at his truly charming-looking amber pupils that were infused with sunlight, Josephine thought to herself, No matter what, I must conceive his child. I’m curious to see if the child will inherit his charming eyes. I must not let such a good gene go to waste.

“Good morning,” Ethan greeted.

“Morning.” Josephine reached out and pinched Ethan’s cheeks. Meanwhile, Ethan put his huge palm into her silky hair and brushed his face against her ears intimately. It was as if he didn’t even want to get up.

10 minutes later, Josephine stood in front of the French window on the second floor with a glass of water. She looked out at the garden full of flowers and breathed in the air, which had a mix of earthy and floral scents. This is undoubtedly a luxurious enjoyment if we are in the city center.

Ethan approached her from behind. “You don’t have to go to the office today. I’m giving you three days off.”

As expected, the perks of having their boss as their boyfriend! One could get days off whenever they felt like it.

Something came across Josephine’s mind, making her turn her head and ask, “I have an interview form that requires your signature.”

“What kind of interview is so great that it needs the wife of Mr. Quarles to conduct in person?” Ethan asked as he chuckled deeply.

Upon hearing that, Josephine burst out laughing. “I have to! So, are you gonna sign it or not?”

Kissing her on the neck, Ethan said, “Alright! I have no problem giving you my life anyway. So of course, I will sign the form for you.”

However, Josephine didn’t want him to give her his life. All she wanted was to be with him for the rest of her life. Besides, she didn’t feel like going into the office either today, considering not even the most body-wrapping clothes could cover the hickeys on her neck. She had no intention to be the talk of everyone in the company.

“Did you ask your bodyguards to beat Dane up yesterday?” Josephine asked. “Will that put you in trouble then?”

“No, it won’t. In fact, not only will I make him get hospitalized, but I will also take legal action against him.” Anger flashed across Ethan’s eyes as he spoke these words. A sc*mbag like Dane doesn’t deserve to have a place in this world!

Josephine was infuriated as well. A b*stard like Dane probably must have harmed a lot of young ladies before. He should be imprisoned for his action!

At noon, Ethan took her out to the restaurant for lunch. Although Josephine didn’t have to go into the office, work was still unavoidable. She had a cup of coffee to go and came back home. Ethan went out to deal with some affairs, and she, on the other hand, enjoyed her cup of coffee. Sitting in front of the huge French window on the first floor, Josephine sipped her coffee while working. This is precisely my dream work scenario!

Meanwhile, an international flight had just landed at the international airport. In the first-class cabin, a young lady with a pair of sunglasses was looking out the window. She seemed to wonder what charm this city had that could make a man like Ethan not want to leave.

“Miss, do you need help?” The stewardess came forth and asked enthusiastically.

“No, thank you,” the young lady rejected in a rather cold voice. Then, she picked up her expensive bag and got off the plane.

The stewardesses behind her looked at each other. “Is she a model? I seem to have seen her before.”

“She is of mixed race, so she’s really pretty.”

When the young lady came out of the airport, she stretched out her arm, grabbed her phone, and dialed a number. “Hello, Jacques. I have arrived.”

“Miss Jenna, do you need me to go and pick you up?”

“Just tell me his address, and I’ll go find him personally. Besides, he probably doesn’t even know I’m here.”

“I did as you ordered. I didn’t notify Mr. Quarles.”

“Good! I won’t let him know that it was you who told me either. Thanks. I’ll go and meet him myself.”

Shortly after, Jenna received the complete address from Jacques. Then, she hailed a cab. With her fluent English, she said, “Sir, please take me to this place.”

At this moment, Jacques, Ethan’s bodyguard, heaved a sigh of relief after he hung up. I have no choice. Jenna Langley is Mr. Quarles’ future fiancee chosen by his family. I can’t keep it from her, nor do I dare to.

But at the same time, he didn’t dare to tell Jenna that Ethan had a girlfriend here either, for he believed that Jenna would deal with the situation well.

After Josephine finished her work, she came to the garden and admired the beauty of the flowers. Ethan even especially had someone to add a swing for her, allowing her to reminisce about her childhood. Currently, she played on the swing while admiring the flowers, waiting for him to come home.

Just then, Josephine heard the sound of a doorbell ringing. By the sound of it, it seemed to be coming from the direction of the front entrance. Hence, she couldn’t help being surprised. Who is it that’s on the door? It surely isn’t Ethan, and I didn’t order any food delivery either. Could it be someone from real estate? Thinking of this, Josephine made her way toward the door. Since there was a visual screen next to the door, Josephine couldn’t help being surprised when she saw a tall female figure appear on the screen. Who’s this young lady?

Josephine talked to the person outside the door through the visual screen. “Who are you looking for?”

“Are you Eeth’s servant?” Instead of answering Josephine’s question, the woman outside the door instantly asked back.

Eeth? Does she mean Ethan? Before Josephine could react, the woman’s voice sounded from the other end. “I am Eeth’s girlfriend. Please open the door for me.”

Josephine’s mind buzzed and went blank for a few seconds before she opened the door. Her emotions became extremely mixed up as she looked at the elegant and tall woman with a suitcase and sunglasses outside the door.

Thinking she heard it wrong, Josephine asked again, “I’m sorry, but can you repeat what you just said?”

Jenna furrowed her brows at the disrespect she felt. Raising a brow, she retorted, “I’m Ethan’s girlfriend. Got it now?”

“He’s not home. Call him if you’re looking for him!” Josephine slammed the door shut and turned around to walk into the house.

“Hey! Hey! Who are you? Who are you to block me outside?” Jenna was dumbfounded. How dare a maid like her leave me outside?!

Josephine entered the living room as she felt a fire burning in her that almost consumed her. She noticed the phone on the couch and picked it up to call Ethan.

“Hey. I’m on the way home. Almost there.” Ethan thought she was worried after waiting for him, so he told her his whereabouts.

“Ethan, I’m asking you once more. Do you have a girlfriend?” Josephine’s tone was serious as she questioned him.

“Of course not!” he answered instantly.

“I’m gonna give you one minute. Think carefully before answering me.” Josephine was furious beyond imagination.

“Joey, what happened? Anyone said something to you?” Ethan was a little dazed and started to panic a little.

He could feel that she wasn’t joking around. It seemed like she was angry for real.

“No one told me anything. Your girlfriend is here.” Josephine answered him calmly. “You should explain yourself when you’re back.”

Then, she hung up the phone. Her chest heaved up and down and tears welled up in her eyes. But she held them in. She didn’t want to make herself look so cheap.

Besides, she wasn’t the type to make the other party stay just because they slept together. She was an adult and could take responsibility for her own actions.

“Sh*t!” Ethan cursed in the car before immediately dialing a number and scolding in Chinese. Soon, a bodyguard answered the phone. “Hi, Young Master. I was the one who told Miss Jenna about your whereabouts.”

“You’re fired!” Ethan fired him on the spot, furious at the revelation.
