Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Chapter 257

After Josie returned to the office, she could not calm down after a long time. "Clusia Media Group...belongs to Samuel?" she thought.

Josie did not believe it at first. However, the more she thought about it, the more suspicious she felt.

When Madelyn was framed by Ashley and fired from her original company, Josie blamed herself. However, Madelyn soon found a better job and officially joined Clusia Media Group.

At that time, Josie was relieved, thinking, "Thank goodness Madelyn got a blessing in disguise and found a better job!"

After that, Samuel had always been patiently around Josie. He constantly took care of her and looked after her.

After Josie's original company had fired her for various random reasons, Madelyn and the Human Resource Department of Clusia Media Group approached her. After considering it for a long time, Josie formally decided to join Clusia Media Group.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

When Josie thought of it, everything had gone too smoothly.

However, Samuel had taken extra precautions to not hurt her ego by not giving her any preferential treatment.

Josie smiled helplessly, thinking, "I had troubled him so much. However, I don't think he distrusts me as Matilda said. I wouldn't have joined the company if Samuel had told me he owned Clusia Media Group. Samuel understood my character, so he hid the truth from me."

"Jo, what are you eating for lunch?" When it was time for the lunch break, Madelyn approached Josie.

"Samuel said he would bring me out for lunch during the afternoon." Josie arranged the files in her hands.

Rebecca, Jessica, and Sebastian were all on the set. Thus, Josie needed to consider the trio's future career progression in advance.

"All right. You guys can go ahead. I don't want to be a third wheel." Madelyn seemed excited, leaving while humming a song.

Josie was speechless. Ever since Madelyn started dating, she became even more cheerful than usual.

"Josie. Someone from Gibson Corporation called as they wanted to discuss Ashley's comeback with you," Josie's assistant came to ask for her opinion.

Josie frowned and wondered, "So Ashley will have a comeback? What exactly is Henry thinking? He knows about her scandals, yet he's still trying his best to support her. Did he have a plan in mind?" "I'll contact the person in charge of Gibson Corporation. Thank you."

Downstairs, Samuel was sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window in the rest area. As the sunshine shone on his body, one would be unable to shift their gaze away from his warm appearance. Josie walked over and sat opposite him.

Samuel held Josie's wrist and smiled. "Let's go. I'll take you to eat something delicious."

"Matilda came to the company today." However, Josie had no intention to leave.

Samuel was stunned for a moment. "She..."

"Why did she still come to Clusia Media Group? Didn't I already inform them not to sign Matilda?" he wondered.

"She said that the person in charge of Clusia Media Group is actually you." Josie did not hide, for she knew some things could be better solved by talking it out.

Samuel's breath hitched as he looked at Josie nervously, not knowing how to explain for a moment.

Seeing how nervous Samuel was, Josie smiled lightly. "Is it because of your partnership that you cannot reveal your status to the public?"

"N-No." Samuel looked away nervously as if he had made a mistake. "Josie!" After a long silence, Samuel grabbed her wrist anxiously. "About this... I didn't mean to hide it from you. I felt you would never agree to join the company if I told you. At that time...you had refused everyone's kindness."

Josie thought about it carefully. At that time, she had not fully gotten over her previous marriage. Thus, she would indeed resist his kindness. "That's right." She nodded.

If Samuel directly said that he owned Clusia Media Group, Josie would have never accepted the offer.

"Josie, I'm sorry..." Samuel was not good at explaining, so he could only apologize first. "However, don't push me away just by hearing others' words."

Josie smiled and held Samuel's fingers. "I'm just confused. There's no need to make things complicated."

Samuel was a little nervous. "I-I was just scared that you would get tired of me."

It took him a long time and effort to finally get what he wanted.

If Josie regretted her choice, he did not know what to do.

"When you got into trouble that year, I left Hofcaster and went abroad. Yuri and I founded Clusia Media Group. However, Yuri had always been the only one managing the company in public these years didn't plan to return at first. Yuri told me that you weren't doing well and everyone knew of the scandals

between Henry and Ashley. Thus, I

chose to fly back to my country..."

At that time, Samuel thought that if Josie and Henry were happy together, he would rather stay abroad for his entire life. He would choose to watch them from afar and give them his blessings. Unfortunately, Henry did not cherish her.

"I don't want to see you running around looking for a job, getting bullied and tricked. Thus, I wanted you to come to Clusia Media Group. After you came to the company, didn't ask anyone to give you preferential treatment. I wasn't even involved when the manager of the Human Resource Department chose you out of the other candidates. I had nothing to do with the entire hiring process."

Samuel was extremely cautious as he respected Josie's ego.

While looking at Samuel explaining cautiously, Josie smiled and changed the topic, "Can you take me to eat crab cake? We haven't been there for a long time. The proprietress is going to miss us."

Samuel blushed and nodded.

Josie was referring to the proprietress who kept praising him.

"You're...not angry?" Samuel was still a little scared, thinking, "Matilda is too much. Although she's young, she's too vicious for her age."

"Why should I be angry? You have no idea how happy I am. Does it consider...that I have someone to back me up in the company?" Josie teased Samuel with a smile.

Samuel took a deep breath. After his relentless efforts, Josie finally became cheerful.

Samuel stretched out his hand and pulled Josie into his arms, holding her tightly. "The whole company is yours."

Josie laughed secretly.

It felt so good to have someone backing her up.

Ashley brought Henry lunch at Gibson Corporation while wearing a mask and a hat.

While Henry was handling the company's affairs in the office, Cecilia told him that Ashley was there.

"You should hold yourself back during this period and pay attention to your emotions." Henry smiled.

Cecilia's eyes inexplicably turned red as she averted her gaze. "Mr. Gibson, why are you doing this to yourself?"

"What do you mean? I'm just putting on a show. How aggrieved can you get?" Henry felt speechless. "Have you signed the contract?"

Cecilia was an outstanding assistant that had always been working for him.

He needed to give Cecilia a guarantee.

"Mr. Gibson...I'm just a mere assistant. You..." Cecilia got choked up. She felt that Henry's recent behavior had been a little abnormal.

"Although Quinton is playful, he isn't that bad. You'll work for him... And he'll treat you well. The reason why I'm giving you some shares is to give you a guarantee. In case you don't want to serve that difficult man

anymore, the dividends will be

enough for you-"

"Mr. Gibson!" Cecilia summoned the courage to interrupt Henry's words. "What exactly are you thinking? If you want to start from scratch and start anew in another city, I will always follow you." "Don't be like that. Your family is in Hofcaster, and your entire life is based there. I won't let you take a risk with me before I'm absolutely sure it will work." Henry frowned. Cecilia lowered her head and stopped talking.

"Quinton... He's my younger brother, after all. Please watch him for me. He lacks discipline. If he doesn't obey, threaten him in the way I teach you." Henry spoke again. Cecilia nodded. "Okay..."
