Nadine happily took out a cheque from her purse and handed it to Adam.
"Pleasure doing business with you."
Adam took the check eagerly. When he saw the six-digit amount, he couldn't contain his excitement. "Ms. Sommers, thank you very much. If you have such assignments in the future, please look for me."
Nadine smiled and replied, "Of course. Send this picture to the paparazzi later. I want them to go public tonight."
An evil grin appeared on her face as she watched Adam walk away.
"Josephine, your good days are over! I'll take over your title of 'Mrs. Forbes.'"
Once the press conference had ended, it was already past 9:00 pm. Josephine turned off the phone. Just as she was about to stand up, her stomach growled.
She quickly covered her stomach with her hands and let out an embarrassed cough.
Ethan wanted to laugh at first but was worried that she was embarrassed, so he held back. Then, he grabbed a banana from the table and handed it to her.
"Eat this. I'll handle the discharge procedures. Let's have dinner together afterward."
Josephine was mortified. "You heard it, didn't you?"
Ethan sat at the edge of the bed and put on his shoes. He said casually, "I heard it. It's pretty cute."
What did he mean by cute?
Josephine pouted. She was looking at the fruits on the table when eating the banana. "Since you're getting discharged, I'll give these fruits away to the patients in the next ward."
"No."
Unexpectedly, Ethan rejected her idea.
He looked at her seriously. "You bought these for me. How could you give them away? I'll bring them home and enjoy them later."
Why was he being so particular about some fruit?
