When Love Breaks (Josephine) novel Chapter 205

By the time Josephine stepped into Ethan's office, her initial impression had been taken to an entirely new level. His office was nothing short of extravagant.

The floor-to-ceiling windows gave an amazing view of the Sunvale skyline at night. On the wall next to the windows were two enormous oil paintings, clearly worth a fortune. The plush, thick carpet cushioned every step, and along the walls stood exquisite golden phoebe wood shelves, displaying an array of sculptures and antiques.

Josephine inhaled sharply before turning to Ethan, who was pouring her a glass of water. "All this time, I only saw you as a small-time actor. That was a serious misjudgment on my part."

Looking at everything, it was clear that Ethan's wealth far surpassed Zayn's. It even exceeded hers. In fact, she wouldn't be surprised if his assets outmatched both the Forbes family and her own combined. No wonder Ronin had invited him to Winnie's birthday banquet. He was worth it.

Ethan glanced up at her, handing her the cup of water. "So, what do you see me as now?"

"A tycoon."

"Huh?"

Josephine smiled. "I'm just kidding. I admit I underestimated you before. But from now on, I'll look up to you." At the very least, she would consider him a valuable connection. Who knew when she might need a favor? He simply smiled wordlessly.

"I only started looking at you differently because you're rich. Doesn't that upset you? Don't you think I'm shallow and opportunistic?" she asked, arching her brow.

Ethan froze for a moment to consider her question. But he quickly came to a conclusion. "No, I don't."

The real reason was that he had fallen in love with her. If she was noble, it would prove he had good taste. If she was shallow, it would mean he had poor judgment—but his love for her wouldn't waver in the slightest. If anything, he'd accept even the flaws that came with her, loving them just the same.
