Chapter 632: Just a Coincidence
“Let me send you back home.” Jaydon looked down at Kathy.
She didn’t wear any coat, so he took off his jacket and put it on her shoulders. He held her in his arms and took her into his car.
However, Kathy subconsciously pushed him away.
A hint of coldness flashed across Jaydon's eyes. He could tell that Kathy didn't want to stay in his arms.
“I want to be myself.” Kathy didn’t look at him, lowering her head.
“I won’t talk to you on the way. Get in.” Jaydon opened the door of the passenger seat for her.
Kathy pressed her lips. After a long while, she finally sat in gradually.
On the way, Jaydon didn’t talk to her as he promised. Kathy was leaning against the back of the seat, feeling that all her strength was fully sucked out. She gradually closed her eyes.
Joseph’s kiss kept flashing through her mind. His scent and temperature completely enveloped her.
When she suddenly opened her eyes, she found that they had arrived at the Bridges House.
Jaydon gazed at her face.
“Thank you for sending me home,” said Kathy in a light tone.
She was about to get off, but Jaydon reached out his hand to stop her.
“Jaydon?”
“Why did you go to see him?” asked Jaydon in a solemn tone.
Kathy was taken aback, meeting Jaydon’s eyes. She didn’t answer, though.
She didn’t know how to explain her relationship with Joseph.
They hadn’t had anything to with each other long ago.
But just now, what happened between them was way too ambiguous.
“I almost had an accident. Coincidentally, Dr. Joseph was there,” Kathy answered in a flat tone.
That was the fact. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Is it a coincidence for real?” Jaydon’s tone was cold.
Kathy looked at him in surprise. She had sensed that Jaydon didn’t believe her.
Indeed, that didn’t sound like the truth.
“For real. It’s coincident. His car almost hit me.” Kathy took a deep breath.
Jaydon looked nervous immediately. “Did you get injured?”
“I’m all right.”
“I’m sorry.” Jaydon frowned. He shouldn’t have suspected her.
“Jaydon, I should be the one who apologizes.” Kathy turned around and looked at him seriously.
Just now, she had made a decision.
She had to admit that she still had a crush on Joseph.
Hence, if she continued seeing Jaydon, it would be so unfair to him.
She didn’t want to hurt him.
Seeing that Kathy wanted to say something but swallowed back, Jaydon seemed to understand what she wanted to say.
His slightly cold palm covered her lips. He said in a deep voice, “Kathy, we’re seeing each other.”
“I used to be Joseph’s wife,” Kathy continued.
Jaydon’s hand was stiffened slightly. Kathy took the chance and pushed him again.
“Can you accept it truly?” Kathy looked at him.
Jaydon pressed his thin lips. After a long while, he nodded affirmatively. “Yes.”
“I think we both need to calm down now.” Kathy pushed the door open and got off.
Jaydon looked at her receding back, gradually clenching his fists. He smashed them on the steering wheel.
After a long while, he stepped on the gas and drove to Joseph’s apartment.
They had an appointment to talk business. When seeing Jaydon, Joseph wasn’t surprised.
On the sofa, Jaydon saw a white woman’s handbag. He paused. Thinking that Kathy was here just now, he guessed probably they had done something intimate.
At the thought of it, he almost couldn’t control himself.
He had never been good at concealing his expression.
He picked up Kathy’s handbag and pulled a long face. “Has she come upstairs?”
“Ehn.” Joseph held the goblet with his slender fingers, shaking casually.
“Please take a seat. Shall we talk business?”
“Yep, talk business.” Jaydon sat down, but his mind was blank. He couldn’t utter any word.
Joseph looked at him, knowing this boy was way too young.
It was not a good thing to act on impulse.
“Dean, I’m sorry. Let’s talk about it in the hospital tomorrow.” After finishing his words, Jaydon stood up.
“Jaydon, you have an important surgery tomorrow. Are you sure you could adjust your status?” Joseph asked, hitting the nail on the head.
“I will. Please trust me.”
With Kathy’s handbag, Jaydon once again arrived at the Bridges House. He didn’t enter but gave it to a maid, asking her to give it to Kathy.
On the second day, when Kathy was about to leave, she found that she had forgotten her handbag in Joseph’s apartment.
Coincidentally, the maid was taking it to her. Kathy was a bit startled. She asked, “Did Joseph send it here?”
“Oh, it was Mr. Young.”
“I see.”
Kathy took it over. She recalled that Jaydon was supposed to talk business with Joseph. He should have delivered it to her afterward.
She sent a message to Jaydon to than him, but she still felt depressed.
This morning, Karl had set off to the airport quite early. Kathy went to visit her mother. The general manager of Booth Group, Alberta Scott, was reporting the company status to Jennifer.
However, right now, Jennifer couldn’t leave the hospital. At this moment, no one was managing the company, which was a bit messy.
Alberta suggested letting Kathy be the acting CEO for the time being, but Jennifer refused immediately.
“Kathy is too busy in the hospital. We’d better not to call her over and bother her with the company business.”
Standing at the door, upon hearing her mother’s words, Kathy creased her brows slightly.
“But those shareholders are quite covetous. Karl has just gone abroad. I’m afraid they...”
“I’ll be the acting CEO.” Suddenly they heard Kathy’s voice at the door.
Jennifer and Alberta looked over, only to find that Kathy walked in.
“Mom, I’m one of the Booth family. Now, something happened to Booth Group, I can’t sit and watch. Please rest assured. I can deal with the matters in the hospital well.”
“Kathy...”
“Ms. Kathy, if you are in the company, I don’t think the shareholders have the guts to do anything,” Alberta breathed a sigh of relief and said.
Jennifer frowned. Although she was quite reluctant, now this was the only way.
Back to the People's Hospital, Kathy felt a bit guilty. After all, she had asked for several leaves recently.
However, all the media was focusing on Booth Group’s crisis, so a lot of people had been aware of it.
Knowing that Kathy was back, Vivian immediately walked to her office.
“Dr. Kathy, this is your schedule in the following days.”
“I may need to ask for a leave for a long time,” Kathy said with a frown, “Please transfer those surgeries to the chief physician.”
“All right. I’ll wait for you to come back then.” Vivian heaved a sigh.
“Vivian, just work with the chief physician. In case there’s anything urgent, please call me. OK?”
“Sure, I know. Please ahead. How’s Mrs. Hilton doing?”
“She needs to stay in the hospital for the observation,” Kathy said solemnly.
When she arrived at Booth Group, Kathy immediately took over some recent things to do from Alberta. With her efficiency, even if she didn’t sleep at all, it would still take her a whole week to finish dealing with those matters.
“Ms. Kathy, I’ll stay here working overtime,” Alberta said.
“Thank you for your hard work.” Kathy smiled.
Indeed, she knew nothing about the business operation. With Alberta’s help, however, she could get familiar with them as soon as possible.
