My Sweetheart

Chapter 596 Reece Is Your Boyfriend

"Here are some files from the director of the People's Hospital that need your signatures."

Kathy stood over a meter away from Joseph and handed over the files with a respectful and calm attitude.

Joseph raised his eyes slightly and his thin lips curled into a faint arc, "Sit here and wait a few minutes. I have a meeting right now."

With that, Joseph turned on the camera and talked in a language that Kathy could not understand.

Kathy frowned and checked the time. She wanted to ask Joseph how long this meeting would last, and tell him that she was going back.

But Joseph did not look at her, and concentrated on the meeting while speaking English.

Kathy could only sit there and text Reece to let him go back.

The next second, Reece's phone call came. Kathy walked to the window to answer it.

"Kathy, the meeting isn't over yet?" Reece asked concernedly.

"I've got something to deal with. You may go back home."

"What is it?" Reece asked.

"Private business." Without saying much, Kathy hung up the phone quickly.

When she turned around, Joseph was staring at her, and the meeting seemed to have been suspended.

"Reece?" He raised his eyebrows.

Kathy nodded subconsciously, but changed into a cold voice immediately, "It has nothing to do with you."

Joseph sneered and resumed the meeting quickly.

Kathy had been planning to urge him to sign the files, but now she could only swallow it.

At the entrance of the hotel, Reece's eyes were full of sinister anger when he heard the busy tone in the phone.

He knew that Joseph had also participated in this meeting and was staying at this hotel.

He walked into the hotel quickly and told the manager to show the surveillance video.

In the suite, time was passing.

Kathy almost fell asleep from the boring waiting. The sky outside the French window was getting dark, but Joseph was still busy with the meeting.

She yawned and her eyelids grew heavier and heavier.

The temperature here was just right, and the leather sofa was so cozy. And the man beside her was Joseph, which relaxed her tenseness that had been haunting her recently.

When Joseph finished the meeting, what entered his view was Kathy's quiet and beautiful sleeping face.

Her skin was even fairer than three years ago. Her eyes, nose, brows, and lips were all so pretty. There were faint black circles under her eyes. She must have stayed up late very often.

She used to be very self-disciplined.

Kathy could already feel the masculine aura coming to her face. She was not sleeping soundly, so she became vigilant the moment Joseph approached her.

But knowing that it was Joseph, she relaxed again.

"I'm done with the meeting."

When Kathy opened her eyes, Joseph had already sat back on the sofa, his handsome face bland.

"Alright."

She looked at the time. It was already nine o'clock.

She hurriedly handed over the files. Joseph read them very carefully and even made a few marks at certain places before handing them back to Kathy half an hour later.

"My opinions are all on them. Bring them to the director for confirmation, and then come back to me."

Kathy was stunned. She thought that this could be finished today.

Whatever, she wouldn't be the one to deliver these files next time. Today, it was just that she and Joseph happened to be in the same meeting.

"I got it."

Putting the papers in her bag, Kathy wanted to get out of this room as soon as possible.

However, Joseph's deep gaze followed her. Kathy touched the door knob, but it couldn't spin!

She turned around and scowled at Joseph. He did it on purpose!

Joseph's lips curled into a cold smile. Kathy's heart was beating faster. She leaned against the door with her face growing paler and paler.

Joseph had changed into a man she was truly afraid of. He was full of cold and daunting gloom, causing her to tremble.

"You're afraid?" Joseph did not approach. The emotions in his eyes were instantly concealed by quietness and calmness.

"No, please open the door, Professor Joseph." Kathy said politely.

She calmed down and confronted Joseph's handsome face.

"What if I don't want to let you go?"

Kathy frowned, her face turning even paler.

Her fingers were trembling. In fact, she really didn't know how to face Joseph. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"Professor Joseph, you're already married." Kathy said coldly.

"Yes, I am indeed married." Joseph nodded.

However, Kathy remembered that the woman who had left was not Ella, but Zofia.

So, what was it between Zofia and Joseph?

He had become so promiscuous now?

Kathy didn't dare to think about it.

Someone knocked on the door. Kathy's nervousness was relieved.

It was good that somebody came. She moved aside a little, but Joseph had no intention of opening the door.

Until Reece's voice came from outside, "Kathy, I'm here to take you home."

Take you home.

These words sounded in Joseph's ears, exceptionally ironic.

His face turned colder.

"Reece is your boyfriend?" Joseph suddenly asked.

"Yes." Kathy blurted out.

Actually, she just wanted to get out of here. If admitting would get her out, she wouldn't mind telling a lie.

She looked at Joseph coldly, "May I go now, Professor Joseph?"

With his thin lips pursed, Joseph made a gesture of showing her out. The next second, the door opened in front of Kathy.

She almost ran out, and bumped into Reece's arms as he was right outside. Reece supported her with powerful arms

"Kathy."

"Let's get back." Her footsteps did not stop.

Reece raised his eyes, Joseph was also looking at him.

It had been three years since they last saw each other, and their eyes were filled with extreme coldness.

"Joseph, don't touch Kathy." After saying that, Reece turned around and caught up with Kathy.

Joseph's gaze still landed on Kathy's back. She was slim and slender. Although wearing ordinary jacket and jeans, she was still the lovely girl who had slept in his arms three years ago.

He got out a cigarette, took a deep draw until he could not stop coughing. Then he threw the cigarette away.

It was already late at night when Kathy and Reece returned to the Bridges' place.

In the car, Kathy remained silent, but Reece could tell her panic.

"What did Joseph do to you?" Reece's voice carried a touch of fear.

If he had known that Joseph was also in the hotel, he wouldn't have let Kathy go there.

"Nothing. It's just that the director asked me to bring him some files to sign." Kathy said indifferently.

"Nothing else?" Reece didn't really believe it.

"Otherwise?" After saying that, Kathy got off the car. After entering the villa, she skipped dinner, went directly back to her room and locked the door.

Soaked in the bathtub, Kathy had mind filled with Joseph. She picked up the phone beside her and called Alexia.

Alexia and Johnson settled down in BV City two years ago, and got married. But Kathy and she kept in touch.

"Alexia, I saw Joseph today. I don't know how to face him ... I feel so bad...."

She muttered. These words could only be revealed to her best friend. In front of Reece, she seemed to be hiding behind several layers of masks. Sometimes, she thought herself so strange that she didn't even recognize herself.
