WebNovelChapter 115
George's driving skills were nothing short of impressive. What was supposed to be a 40-minute drive only took
him about 25 minutes, and they made it just in time.
Josephine had assumed the Boathouse was just a regular restaurant, but when the car cto a stop, she found
herself by a riverbank instead. It turned out the Boathouse was a floating restaurant.
As they walked across the narrow bridge leading to the entrance, they instantly becthe center of attention.
"He's so handsome!"
"Seriously, I've never seen anyone this good-looking in real life. God, the people around him must be so lucky!"
"Is that his secretary? If | could be his secretary, I'd work for free. No-I'd pay him just for the chance!"
Josephine nearly choked. She was his boss! But of course, none of that mattered when one had a face like
Ethan's.
Josephine felt frustrated but had no choice but to look up at Ethan. She had to admit, he did look particularly
handsthat night. Dressed in a long black coat over a fitted turtleneck, his outfit was simple yet effortlessly
elegant.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe carried an air of quiet restraint, cold and distant like freshly fallen snow. And with his wire-rimmed glasses
subtly concealing his sharp gaze, the chill in his eyes only made him seem even more untouchable.
No wonder those girls were losing their minds over him. If she were a few years younger, back at 18 or 19, she'd
probably be just as smitten. After all, she had always been a sucker for a pretty face.
Lost in thought, she didn't even notice Ethan looking at her until their eyes met, and he curved his lips into a
gentle smile. It was so warm, so unexpectedly soft, that for a moment, she forgot to keep her distance. That
fleeting warmth pulled her in, just a little.
By the tthey stepped into the private dining room, it was exactly 8:00 pm. Everyone was already there,
waiting for them.
The man at the center of the table was built like a tank-easily over six feet tall, well over two hundred pounds,
and carrying a face as
intimidating as his frame. Think net
brows, sharp features, and an air of
barely restrained agg
He
looked like he belonged in a crthriller.
This man was Matthew Frye. He walked up to Josephine and shook her hand politely. "I've heard so much about
you, Ms. Dunn!"
Josephine winced at the strength of his handshake but forced a polite smile. "Mr. Frye, you flatter me. I'm just a
new director, and this is my first tback to further my career in my hcountry. There's still so much | don't
know. I'd be grateful for any guidance."
"There's no need to be so polite! You're back hnow, and here, you're family. Whatever you need, just let us
know-we've got your back! Now, letintroduce you to everyone." With a cigar tucked between his fingers, he
led her around the table, introducing each guest in turn.
"This here is Charles Wilson from the Cultural Bureau."
"And this is Mr. Smith from the Film Association."
"And over here, we have Mr. Lopez from the National Television Administration!"
That was when she realized Matthew wasn't the only heavyweight in the room. The entire table was packed with
powerhouses. From government regulators to production moguls, every single one of them held serious influence
over the industry.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnd that only made her more uneasy. She barely knew Matthew. So, why was he going out of his way to
introduce her to all these connections of his? What did he really want?
Once the introductions were over, Josephine wasted no tpulling Ethan into the conversation. He had been
standing quietly at her side, largely ignored. "This is Ethan," she said. "The lead actor in my new film."
"Oh." Matthew glanced at Ethan, his expression apathetic and uninterested. The rest of the room barely
acknowledged him, not even offering a handshake.
Josephine frowned slightly. Just as she was about to say something on his behalf, Ethan gently patted her hand,
signaling her to let it go. Then, stepping forward, he smiled and said, "Besides being the lead actor in Ms. Dunn's
new film, I'm also the founder of GrainWave Tech. | look forward to working with all of you. Here's my business
card."
