Josephine’s POV
After I returned to France, I didn’t want to stay longer because Jasmine still had many unfulfilled wishes
I wanted to fulfil those wishes for her. However, the affairs of the vineyard completely tied up my feet.
I worked overtime for a solid month, getting up before dawn and working until dark. Yet, I still hadn’t completely sorted out the vineyard’s
Back in New York City, I was the little princess cherished in my family’s palms, never having concerned myself with the family business!
Moreover, my older brother was far too outstanding. Even before he came of age, our parents had already designated him the family heir
The year I graduated from university, my brother, who was not even thirty, had already smoothly inherited the family business and become the head of the Song family
After I married Jacob, the Gilmores were very wary of me and didn’t allow me to touch their business at all.X
Even with my brother guiding me, I was still swamped and disoriented.
My brother was also busy with the family company and there were many times when he simply didn’t have the time to attend to me
He simply transferred an assistant from his side to me. A meaningful look flashed across his face when he brought the assistant to meet
“Jasmine, I’ve found you a strategist. From now on, he will replace me and help you manage the vineyard.” Hearing this, my eyes lit up. “Really? It would be wonderful to have someone help me.”
“Did you hear that? You can finally relax now, right? Come out and formally meet my sister.”
A familiar figure walked out from behind my brother.
It turned out to be Christopher Johansson! My brother’s childhood friend. I hadn’t expected him to come to France with my brother! Christopher smiled at me slightly. “Josephine, long time no see.”}
you two
*Alright, you two already know each other, so I don’t need to say much more, right? I still have company matters to attend to, so you take your time chatting.”
He took a few steps toward the door, then suddenly stopped as if he remembered something.
Tuming around, he stared hard at Christopher and said in a serious tone, “Christopher, take good care of my sister. If I find out you’re not treating her well, I’ll fly to New York City that same night just to drag your ass through hell and back.”
“Brother, don’t scare him! Christopher will definitely help me well, right?”
Christopher looked at me gently. “Yes, I guarantee it!
When I met his gaze, my heart skipped a beat and became a mess.
I wondered if it was just my imagination, but I always felt that Christopher’s gaze towards me was strange.
To confirm my suspicion, I met his gaze again. But this time, I didn’t see anything unusual.
All I saw in his eyes was the mountain of work
*Josephine, is there a problem?“)
“N–No.“%
It must be that I was too busy with work, causing my mind to become a little muddled.
With Christopher’s help, the accounts that were initially a jumbled mess gradually took shape in my mind.”
I also gained a deeper understanding of this vineyard and had some ideas for the sales plan for the next season!!
Another month passed and I finally completely grasped the operations of the family vineyard
Then, it was time to fulfil Jasmine’s long–postponed wish list.
What I didn’t expect was to see Jacob again at this time.
It was a very ordinary workday evening I finished my work for the day and left the company with Christopher.”
We were walking side by side on the sidewalk, still discussing matters related to the new batch of red wine, when suddenly, a familiar
voice reached our ears.
