    the representatives from Clusia Media Group were having a video conference in the study. The


    company must take active countermeasures regarding Hazel’s incident.


    “Ashley is not signed under Clusia Media Group, so she doesn’t impact us much, but as for Hazel…


    some representatives from the publicity department and the public rtions department voiced their


    concerns.


    After all, this incident would severely impact the Clusia Media Group’s reputation if someone seized the


    opportunity to hype the issue up and if its rivalpanies maliciously smeared the Clusia Media


    Group.


    “Allocate our current resources to promote our new artists. Also, send someone to interview the doctor


    at the psychiatric hospital to get the facts and push the me onto Hazel.”


    Samuel frowned. He believed Hazel’s incident was only exaggerated to this extent because someone


    was jealous of Clusia Media Group and took the opportunity to step on its downfall.


    “Also, Josie, the manager, is now in the eye of the storm. Ashley’s fans just kept attacking her. This


    will-” someone said. trying to raise an issue to fire Josie as it was the most effective way to put the


    matter to rest for the time being.


    “How can we keep our foothold in the future if we dismiss our employees knowing that they are


    wronged? Do you want our employees to be anxious and worry about being fired anytime after the


    incident?” Samuel frowned.


    “Sir, we are doing this for thepany’s best interest. Josie is not worth-”


    “Ahem. Yuri cleared his throat. “Let’s discuss this matterter.


    Naturally, most attendees at the meeting had no idea who their CEO was.


    Samuel never showed his face in every video conference with his staff.


    “Deal with the public opinion as soon as possible. If this issue is not resolved before next Wednesday,


    the public rtions department will be questioned for its capability.” Samuel did not have that muchExclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    patience.


    “We understand. Our department will deal with the matter as soon as possible.”


    Turning off the video conference, Samuel rubbed his temples.


    Once he had resolved all these matters, he would have to deal with Ashley as soon as possible.


    Ashley had gotten into an incident and became a victim, but she somehow also turned Josie into a


    target of hatred.


    “Yuri, find a way to gather scandalous facts about Ashley. I don’t care if it’s something trivial or


    impactful. Gather them and post them on the inte first.” Samuel remembered that Josie once


    mentioned Ashley framed Zachary’s father. If that were the case, he would have to collect evidence


    first.


    The person who knew most about Ashley’s secrets was Thomas, but Thomas was already arrested for


    kidnapping.


    “You’re so fiercely protective of her, Yuri teased.


    In the living room, Josie was still on the phone with Reba, and she seemed to be in a good mood.


    The look in Josie’s eyes gradually turned from joyful to worried after she hung up the phone.


    She was not too certain about the current situation out there, and she wondered why Hazel was


    suddenly admitted to the psychiatric hospital.


    Also, she wondered how far things had progressed on Henry’s side.

    After hesitating for a while, Josie decided to dial Henry’s number


    Now that they had decided to work together, Josie believed she should at least check on him.


    After all, Samuel mentioned she should thank Henry that she could be found this time.


    Regardless of everything else, Josie found it necessary to thank him..


    “Jo…” Henry y answered the phone as soon as it was connected. It was as though he had been waiting


    for her to call him. “Are you feeling better now?”


    Henry sounded a little nervous over the phone.


    “I’m much better. I’m at Samuel’s ce waiting for my treatment Josie talked about her and Samuel


    naturally.


    Henry was silent for a long time, feeling like someone was shing his heart repeatedly with a knife.


    Upon hearing that, he figured he would react much calmer than now if he had never been with Josie.


    However, Henry was in much more pain than Zachary because Josie used to be with him, but he did


    not cherish her enough to make her stay.


    After a long silence, Henry said softly. “Take a good rest. You will get better soon.”


    “Henry, about Hazel… Why was she admitted to the psychiatric Hospital?” Josie wanted to know what


    had actually happened.


    She encouraged Thomas to hurt you, which initiated the kidnapping.” Henry exined. However, he did


    not want Josie to learn too much about the situation, so he said. “Many things happened recently.


    Hazel used Jessica to deal with Quinton, and Spike learned about it. With Spike behind this, he has


    already shown Hazel mercy by sending her to the psychiatric hospital.”


    “What about you… Did Spike vent his anger on you?” Josie asked nervously. She knew Spike was a lu


    natic.


    Jo… Henry remained silent for a long time before he chuckled and said, “If you don’t love me anymore,


    please stop worrying about me. Don’t check on me, no matter what happens.


    Instead of love, Henry knew Josie only reached out to him because they had known each other for ten


    years. Her love for him had long been gone.


    “Okay… Josie agreed solemnly.


    She agreed that they should just let go of each other and live freely since they had fallen out of love.


    “This will be over soon, I promise,” Henry said in a firm voice. “Focus on your treatment. I will solve


    everything by the time you’re recovered.”


    It was a promise from Henry to Josie.


    “Stay safe…” Josie did not say anything else aside from reminding Henry to be careful.


    It had been ten years since they knew each other, and Josie had loved Henry for ten years. But now,


    Josie believed her one- sided affection for Henry had finallye to an end.


    After ending the call, Josie heaved a deep sigh of relief.


    Then, she raised her gaze at Samuel standing at the study door, and her eyes turned a little red.


    Despite everything, Josie realized she seemed to be quite lucky.

    Chapter 193


    The year when Hayden and Kathy died, Josie thought she was a child abandoned by Go d, and she


    believed no angels would appear in her life anymore.


    However, she seemed to see redemption in her life now.


    Samuel was her salvation.


    “Were you on the phone with Henry?” Samuel asked as he stood behind the door. His tone was filled


    with slight jealousy.


    “I was. I asked him about Hazel.” Josie nodded. She could already calmly deal with Henry’s existence.


    “I’ll cook lunch for us.” Samuel raised his brows but did not ask her anything else.


    Josie stood up and ran over, hugging Samuel from behind.


    Samuel froze for a moment and was at a loss as he tried tofort her by asking. “What’s wrong? Are


    you upset about something?


    “Do you mind it…” Josie was so insecure that she asked Samuel repeatedly whether he was


    concerned about her history with Henry.


    She wondered if Samuel would mind the fact that she was in love with someone else before him.


    “I don’t mind it if you’re willing to love me, Samuel smiled and let Josie hug him as he started preparing


    to cook for lunch at


    the kitchen counter.


    Josie hugged Samuel tightly and followed him wherever he went refusing to let him go.


    Samuel chuckled dotingly. The two did not say anything, but their hearts were thumping wildly.


    you want sugar?” Samuel asked as he put oats inside the cooker.


    “Do you


    “Yes…” Josie responded in a muf fled voice.


    “Do you want sauteed broli or sauteed mushrooms?”


    “Both…” Josie leaned against Samuel’s back, and her voice was maffled.


    “What about the main dish?”


    “I want pasta…


    Josie felt surreal. Although it was a conversation about trivial matters, Josie was flustered about that.


    “Go take a seat and wait for me. Do you think my willpower is strong enough to have you hugging me


    all the while without reacting to that?” Samuel teased.


    As someone who had been single for more than 20 years, Samuel couldn’t hold back his desire when


    his lover had her arms around him from behind.


    Josie froze for a moment, but she didn’t let go of Samuel.


    After a long silence, Josie whispered, “Samuel… take me now.”


    Samuel was the one who stiffened upon hearing that.


    His body tensed.


    Josie’s eyes turned red, and her voice trembled when she suggested that.

    She was afraid that she would die if the treatment failed.


    “Jo…” Samuel’s voice was h oar se, and his breath was scorching. “If you tease me like that again after


    you have recovered. I might not go easy on you.”


    The second Samuel turned around, Josie stood on tiptoe and hugged his neck, kissing him with her


    eyes closed.
