Chapter 10 But then she met Raymond . She gave up the chance to study abroad and applied to a school in Natbury to be close to him . In the end , she wasted two years of her life . From now on , she wasn't going to waste any more time on something so useless . After filling out the application , Josephine checked her watch and saw that it was almost seven . She went to wake Elnora up . Elnora had booked a private room at Minroch Restaurant . When she mentioned the place , Josephine was a bit surprised . Minroch Restaurant was one of the top three fine - dining restaurants in Natbury , and Raymond was having his birthday dinner there with his friends tonight . But Josephine quickly composed herself . Once inside the private room , curiosity got the better of her . " Nora , what project brought you to Natbury this time ? " " To integrate an AI system with my shared power station . " Chapter 10 " Don't tell me it's Lumivue Tech . " " Elnora smiled in satisfaction . " You're sharp as always ." In recent years , AI had advanced at breakneck speed , and Lumivue Tech had risen to prominence almost overnight , now valued at tens of billions of dollars . " It's riding the wave right now and is the leader in AI . I knew you'd pick it with how you do things . " " That's why you're my sister . You know me inside out ." Elnora looked at Josephine with a fond smile . " Don't worry too much about our family business . All you need to do is focus on your studies and the things you love . " Josephine felt kind of bad for her . Women usually didn't have as much energy as men . But since there weren't any guys in their family , Elnora , as the older girl , had to step up and take care of the family business . And their parents were always tough on her . By contrast , Josephine had it way easier . " Nora , is your job tiring ? " As she ticked off dishes on the menu , Elnora replied , " Yeah , of course . So I don't want you to go through that ." Chapter 10 Josephine knew she had a natural gift for the piano . When she was little , she loved it , but their parents insisted that as the future heir of the Gibson Group , she couldn't afford to waste time on music . So , they stopped her from learning it . Around ten years old , she had to be at the top of her class and also find time to start learning about business management . So she could never do what she liked when she was little . Josephine often thought it'd be nice if they had a brother . Then Elnora wouldn't have to work so hard . Halfway through dinner , Josephine's phone rang . It was Raymond on the line . She hung up . He called again , and she hung up once more . Elnora glanced at her . " Who was that ? Why didn't you answer ? " " Just a spam call . You go ahead and eat . I'm going to the restroom ," With that , she stepped out of the private room . Just as she reached the restroom door , head lowered as she typed a reply to Raymond , a hand suddenly seized her and dragged her inside . Chapter 10 Raymond pressed her against the door , his strong presence looming over her . Seeing him here didn't surprise her . " Why didn't you answer my texts or pick up my calls ? " His handsome face darkened a little , like he wasn't very happy . Josephine played dumb . " I was with Barb ." " You never ignored me when you were with her before . " Had he sensed something ? Josephine looked down , avoiding his deep eyes , her voice a little sad . " You've got another girl around you now , haven't you ? " His grumpy look eased quite a bit . Her words seemed to make him feel better . He gently lifted her chin with his long fingers , a faint smile playing on his sharp lips . " Jealous ? " She said nothing . He leaned his forehead against hers , so close that their breaths seemed to blend together .
