When Love Breaks (Josephine)

Arthur snorted. "No way. I'm absolutely certain-Ethan was definitely nervous today!"

"Why?" Josephine's curiosity was piqued. "What was he nervous about? Is this lead role that important to him?"

"It is extremely important, actually. It might just determine his entire future-his fate, his happiness, maybe even his entire life. That's pretty important, don't you think?"

Why was he making it sound so dramatic? Josephine stared at him, exasperated. "The role in my movie can affect his whole life? Are you serious?"

He grinned. "Curious, aren't you? Aren't you dying to find out? Well, too bad-I'm not telling you. You'll find out eventually. Or, maybe... You never will."

Josephine was at a loss for words. He was being cryptic on purpose, trying to bait her into asking him. Well, she wasn't falling for it.

"Ms. Dunn, big news! Huge news!" Just then, Mason burst through the door, clutching his phone, his face flushed with excitement. "Mr. Frye from Royal Cinema wants to have dinner with you at 8:00 pm tonight, at the Boathouse!"

Josephine blinked. "Mr. Frye? Who's that?"

The assistant director practically jumped out of his chair. "Mr. Frye? Wait-don't tell me you mean Matthew Frye?"

"No way! Holy crap, he's a big shot!"

"I heard he owns at least 800 theaters. But are you sure it's the Mr. Frye? Or is it just a relative of his?"

Mason's eyes shone. "Nope, it's Matthew Frye himself!"

The assistant directors got all excited. "Oh my God! Ms. Dunn, you have to go! If you can establish a connection with Mr. Frye, we'll never have to worry about movie Screenings again!" FindNovel

So, he was a major cinema tycoon. Definitely worth meeting. But why would Matthew Frye invite her to dinner? Something about it felt fishy. She had better be cautious.

That evening, as she prepared to head out, Josephine took extra precautions. She tied her hair back into an extremely tight, slicked-down ponytail, donned an oversized suit, and layered on a thick,

clumsy-looking makeup-altogether crafting the perfect look of a tacky entrepreneur.

It might have made her look ridiculous, but at least she felt safer. She'd rather be mocked for not being pretty or elegant than spend the whole night fending off O unwanted advances.

She hurried downstairs and was about to look for Mason when, to her surprise,

she saw Ethan sitting on the couch. What was he doing here?noveldrama

For some inexplicable reason, she really didn't want him to see her like this. Hence, she immediately raised a hand to shield her face and turned on her heel to flee back upstairs.

"Josephine?" She had barely taken two steps when his voice called out from behind.

At that moment, she wished she could sink into the floor. Ethan was effortlessly handsome, immaculate from head to toe. Meanwhile, she was a walking disaster.

"Josephine, what's wrong?" Ethan noticed her frozen on the staircase, her posture strangely stiff. Concerned, he got up and walked toward her. "Are you feeling lightheaded?"

"No, not at all." Hearing his approaching footsteps, she knew she couldn't avoid him. Resigning herself, she took a deep breath and slowly turned around. "I'm fine."

This time, it was Ethan's turn to freeze.
