NovelOnlineChapter 255 Joe furiously slammed his phone onto the desk.

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 cto 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 handsman and a beautiful woman were constantly seen together.

Even if it's just as an old friend, can't treat you to a meal?"
The mention of Graham's nsnapped her out of her thoughts. He had already told her he was the et sGraham from her childhood, so Graham was the 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.
