Kathy smiled a little awkwardly, “You’re up?”
Joseph walked up to her with his long legs, his eyes were deep and his face was unreadable.
“You’ve been sitting out all night?”
Kathy stepped back slightly, showing a nod, and then immediately shook her head, “No, I just came out to get some water.”
Joseph’s face was a bit smirking, “There’s a glass of water at your bedside too.”
Kathy froze, avoided his gaze, and let out a deep breath as she suddenly hugged his waist and whispered, “It’s still early, you can go back to sleep for a while.”
In fact, she wasn’t sure if this move would work on Joseph.
But Joseph’s reaction still made Kathy relieved that he didn’t push her away, instead he wrapped his arms around her thin waist and took her back to her room as well.
After lying down, Kathy then gradually got some sleep, turned over, she shrank towards the side of the bed, and did hear Joseph’s somewhat muffled voice, “Kathy …”
“Hmm?”
“You’re pleasing me.” His tone was definite.
In her sleep, Joseph’s voice was so soft that Kathy didn’t hear it too well and mumbled, “What?”
Joseph did not speak, but reached out and held her tightly in his arms.
Kathy stirred restlessly and soon drifted off to sleep.
But in the darkness of the night, Joseph did not close his eyes again, she shrunk into a small ball in his arms, almost the whole face buried in his chest, so that he could not see her expression at all.
So he moved slightly and lifted her little face up, and when the morning light from the window came in, he clearly saw the dark, blue color under her eyes.
In fact, this time she has been insomnia, he can feel it.
At that moment, like being touched gently by something, Joseph’s heart suddenly flooded with a slight astringency.
How long has it been since she had a good night’s sleep?
He didn’t wake her up again, just lightened up his movements.
After leaving, he turned back to me and found her cell phone under her pillow.
After waking up from a nap, Kathy looked at the clock by the window and didn’t respond for a long time, thinking she was blurry-eyed.
Hadn’t she set the alarm on her phone?
She hurriedly went to her phone, but she found that the phone that had been placed under her pillow had been canceled and was sitting quietly on the table.
She didn’t think much about why Joseph had done that, because she was already late and she had to get back to the Booth Group for the regular morning meeting.
The limo drove all the way to Booth Group, just in time to avoid the Monday morning rush.
Kathy strode back to her office on her high heels, only to run into her secretary looking up from behind her computer, staring at her in disbelief.
Kathy quickly returned to her office, but for some reason, she felt a little uneasy, so she turned down the air conditioning.
At that moment, the secretary came in with a panicked look on her face, “Ms Kathy, something has happened.”
“What?”
“The security guard at the entrance got into some argument with someone and someone was injured.”
“Who?”
“It was reporters, they didn’t have an appointment, so the security guard wouldn’t let them in.”
“What are reporters doing over here?” Kathy was suspicious.
The secretary smiled a little stiffly, “Ms Kathy, you should read the news.”
Usually Kathy would have the habit of watching the news, but today she got up late, and this habit missed the time.
She immediately clicked on her computer’s browser, and when she saw the headline news, she instantly froze in her tracks.
It was only after a long time, with the air conditioning blowing her headache, that she reached for her phone.
Originally, she dialed her mother’s number, only she quickly hung up again, and the person who answered was Jennifer’s personal caregiver.
“Did Mom go for her checkup today?”
“Ms Kathy, Mrs. Lin has been doing tests all morning and is not out yet.”
At that, Kathy sighed with relief and after hanging up the phone, she dialed another number.
It took a long time for the other party to pick up the phone.
“Hmm?”
Kathy heard the voice and only felt anger burning up in her dilly-dally.
The news headline in front of her was “It is suspected that Joseph cheats on his girlfriend Zofia and be with new lover”.
There are two sets of photos: one of Kathy entering and leaving the apartment with a first-line, and the other of Zofia alone at City N with a child by her side.
The facts are all there, and the pictures are so graphic that Kathy has definitely become the third party.
“Why did those reporters get that?” Kathy asked excitedly.
She felt that if Joseph hadn’t given his tacit approval, those reporters wouldn’t have dared to report the news.
“I was also surprised.” Joseph’s tone was still calm and unhurried.
“Surprised? For the heir of the titled Mu family, is there anything that can surprise you in this world?” Kathy laughed coldly.
The sun was shining brightly outside the window, Joseph sat in his office, his dark eyes slightly narrowed, and only after a long time did he say in a deep voice, “Of course.”
“Why would you do that?” Kathy, however, had insisted on the certainty that it was Joseph’s intention.
After all, he just wanted to torture her.
“Did I say that our affair must not be exposed?” Joseph asked indifferently, however.
Kathy froze; it was true that they had not communicated about this.
It was just that Joseph had also said that he would not let Zofia know.
And now, Zofia would definitely know.
“Since you don’t want people to know about our relationship, just deny it.”
“Do you think anyone will believe my words?” Kathy said angrily.
Once these scandals broke out, ten mouths couldn’t explain it.
“That’s your problem.”
Kathy was so angry that she hung up the phone right then and there, devil! Pervert! Bastard!
How could she have been blind and fallen in love with this man three years ago!
But the most important thing now is that the news must not get out, it must be suppressed as fast as possible.
After instructing the PR department to do so, she left Booth Group from the underground parking lot and went straight to City N Hospital.
When she saw Kathy coming, Joseph was not surprised, and even sat gracefully on the sofa, as if he was waiting for her.
“Joseph, I want you to take down these stories right now!” Kathy glared at him, her eyes carrying a strong sense of hatred.
If her mother knew about all this, she was bound to be irritated, and she couldn’t afford to be irritated anymore with her illness!
She is now the president of Booth Group, representing the shares of Booth Group to the outside world, once this matter is exposed, Booth Group will definitely be affected.
But recently the situation of Booth Group has just improved, she does not want the situation to become uncontrollable again.
Clenching her fist tightly, she looked at Joseph indifferently.
He just took a slow sip of his coffee and looked at her lightly, “You’re ordering me?”
“No, I’m begging you.” Kathy said calmly.
She knew she didn’t have the capital to negotiate with Joseph, and in front of him anyway, she had no dignity left long ago.
