Josephine sighed. However, she believed Jasmine's thought process was somewhat useful.
She needed something that wasn't too cutesy nor too serious. Perhaps a pun that could express her apology…
"Mr. Zimmerman Senior, could you write this for me?
'A tiny seed, of hope in barren ground,
A promise to heal, where wounds are profound.
I sprout with remorse, and see your gentle grace,
A chance to restore, and find a better place.'"
Frank didn't understand. "What's this?"
Josephine smiled and replied, "It's just a little riddle, hinting at an apology."
"Alright. You young folks these days are always coming up with odd ideas!"
This wasn't something usual for her. But at that moment, she had no other choice.
Watching Frank write them down beautifully, Josephine felt that it was ridiculous.
Even when she tried to coax Zayn, she had never gone this far.
After writing them down, Frank agreed to Josephine's request to add the words "For Ethan Dane".
Finally, he put his signature on the bottom of the piece.
Josephine tried to pay him, but Frank refused to accept it no matter what.
She knew that she couldn't just take it for free, so she transferred 30 thousand dollars to Winnie instead.
When she brought the calligraphy piece to the hotel, more than an hour had passed.
There were still a few minutes before the auditions began, so technically, she wasn't late.
As soon as she stepped in, she looked around for Ethan. When she couldn't find him anywhere, she had no choice but to ask Mason.
"Where's Ethan?"
Mason took a long glance at her. In the past two days, she had been bringing up Ethan on her own way too many times.
Could something be going on between them?
