My Sweetheart

Chapter 259 Only Wanting to Show to the Women He Liked

The next day, when Kathy woke up, the one sleeping next to her was already gone.

So, was Joseph still angry?

As she walked out of the living room after washing up, she still did not see any trace of Joseph.

A Chinese-style breakfast served warm was put on the dining table, but the amount of it was only enough for herself.

Did he go to work?

Kathy hurriedly ate the breakfast and immediately went over to the Joseph’s group.

After arriving at the office, she realized that even John was not there. She then clicked on her inbox to see Joseph’s new schedule that had been emailed to her.

Today, Joseph was going to attend a medical forum and would not be back until later the afternoon.

So, why didn’t he bring her with him...

Well, he must still be angry...

During this entire morning, Kathy was distracted. However, because she did not go to work yesterday and her work was starting to pile up, Kathy quickly got into work.

NCHV Medical Company was recently working with the Joseph’s group to investigate Sammy’s case, and fortunately, they had made some progress. However, this was previously Sue’s responsibility, so Kathy had to contact Sue to compare their findings.

Ever since Sue left, they had not been in touch.

Kathy unlocked her phone and called Sue through her WeChat.

“Kathy.” Sue's anxious voice came out.

“Sue, I’m here to get information from you about Sammy’s case.” Kathy said seriously.

“Okay, I'll send you an email.”

After they talked about work, Kathy was about to hang up the phone.

Sue then called out to her saying, “Kathy, I'm sorry.”

Kathy remained silent. However, she was also not angry.

It's just that her relationship with Sue was very difficult to return to what it was in the past.

...

It was not until late afternoon that Joseph had returned, and when Kathy looked up, Joseph had already walked pass her.

When John came out, Kathy went in with her coffee.

Looking at the man focused on work from a distance, Kathy walked in.

“President Joseph.”

Joseph lifted his eyes and they looked apathetic.

Kathy's heart ached slightly.

“Why didn't you come to work with me today?”

“You looked so tired last night; would it be bad to let you sleep more today? Hmm?”

Kathy felt embarrassed, the image of what happened last night gradually came to mind, it really seemed that way for several times...

She did not even know how she had fallen asleep.

“So, are you being considerate?”

Joseph pulled her into his arms, “Mrs. Kathy, how can I be angry with you.”

Kathy looked at him full of uncertainly.

“What, you want me to prove it again with actions?” Joseph's line of sight became dangerous.

Kathy immediately blocked him and shook her head, “Don't you dare...”

They were still in the office.

“I'm going to have dinner with grandpa this weekend.” She looked at Joseph.

“I'll go with you.” Joseph replied.

…

BV City，the Marshall’s house.

Bertie had recently been busy with matters at the branch office in City N, and it was already late when he returned to BV City.

His mother, Lexie Byrne was waiting in the living room holding a newspaper, and the headline on the newspaper was exactly about Bertie and Kathy.

“You are back, there's still some soup in the kitchen, you can go and drink it first.” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Bertie carried that bowl of soup out, his eyes saw the newspaper's headline and a smile could be seen on his face.

"It looks like you and Sue have been making good progress recently.” Lexie was satisfied.

Bertie put down the soup bowl and picked up the newspaper. Although the background was dark, seeing Kathy from the side, she looked exquisite and beautiful.

“It seems you like her a lot, seems like my foresight is quite good.” Lexie looked at her son staring at the newspaper smiling.

However, Bertie replied, “Mom, she's not Sue.”

“What?”

“Didn't I recently told you to get close with Sue, why did you go out and flirt with other women?” Lexie huffed indignantly.

"I'm not interested in Sue, and don't you know that she's already married abroad?” Ling Yu mocked.

This was something he had just learned today. Before that, he thought that Kathy was Sue, he had not even thought of investigating this before, and now, marrying Sue was even more impossible.

“What nonsense are you talking, the Fletcher family didn't inform me about this.” Lexie felt a chill down her spine.

“Mom, don't think about being my matchmaker ever again, I'm not interested in other women right now.” Bertie narrowed his eyes playfully.

“What are you scheming again! Say, who is this woman?” Lexie asked.

“Zack’s granddaughter."

"Zack?" Lexie was stunned. The person was once a legend.

“Are you sure?” Lexie could not believe it.

“I had a hard time finding out the information, but now, she's the Joseph family's daughter-in-law.”

Lexie glared at her son, “Then what else do you want.”

“Mom, it's rare that I'm interested in a woman, isn't it?” The bottom of Bertie’s eyes flickered with predation.

“You still want someone who is already a part of the Joseph family, don't be crazy, mom will help you search for a good woman for you again, you are not allowed to pester that woman again.” Lexie scolded.

“Don't you set me up with any women ever again. Other than that, please withdraw all those reporters that are following me, I don't like to make headlines.”

He only wanted to show his face to the women he liked.

...

Kathy inexplicably sneezed, who was scolding her?

Joseph walked over, his tone full with concerned, “You have a cold? Need to take some pills?”

Kathy shook her head, “No, I'm fine, no need to make a fuss.”

At the moment she was looking at the information that Sue had sent her, there had been a lot of progress about Sammy’s case.

During the time when Sammy was serving her sentence, there had been a person who had leaked a rare poison into the prison, and it was currently speculated that it should be related to Sammy’s case.

Three days ago, that same person committed suicide and only the powder that caused Sammy's death could be found.

The most important clue had come to a dead end.

If they had asked the prisoner, they would have been able to track the culprit down.

Kathy did not expect this case to be so complicated.

A cup of warm water was handed to her side, and Joseph was dissatisfied, “You can't work at home anymore.”

“Well, I'm inefficient, so I'll have to work longer than others.” Kathy leaned on his lap and frowned.

Nowadays, secretarial work had not been any easier than the previous clerical work she did in NCHV Medical Company. Instead, she had to be more meticulous and patient.

And the workload seemed to have quadrupled.

“You only need to report to me, I'm your boss.” Joseph said with a straight face.

Letting Kathy to come work in the office was, one, to keep her from being too bored at home, and two, to have her around by his side.

It was not really to let her share his work.

“Boss, for such a hardworking employee like me, how about giving me some overtime pay?” Kathy looked at him acting pitifully.

“Your salary is even higher than John's.” Joseph knocked her on the head.

This little greedy person.

Kathy was stunned, and now that she thought about it, it seemed like she had not even asked how much her salary was when she joined the company.

What a sloppy thing to do...

The next day, Kathy went over to the personnel department early in the morning, she had been employed for a week and the secretary position was only temporary. She did not know how Joseph arranged it.

After asking the HR director, Kathy finally knew she was already considered regular employee of the company, and her salary...six figures...

“There is no probationary period?” Kathy blinked; this must be a dream...

“Mrs. Kathy, this is a direct order from President Joseph. So, you are now a permanent employee of our company.”

“Oh.”

Kathy was stunned again; she was a permanent employee?

But if she succeeds in her research, she definitely would not need to be able work anymore.

She than told the HR director, “But I'm just a temporary employee in the company.”
