Chapter 451
\nMy Sweetheart novel Chapter 451<\/p>\n
Sometimes Kathy would come to help Joseph with the work. They stayed in the office together, which was one of their few dates.<\/p>\n
John knocked the door and came in to report on work.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Joseph, The land in North Bay will be auctioned tomorrow. Will you come?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes\u201d Joseph nodded and he frowned.<\/p>\n
Kathy was looking at the auction files.<\/p>\n
The land in North Bay was used for medical purpose and now several companies wanted to build hospital on this land which was just developed and potential but lacked public resources.<\/p>\n
The main competitors were the Joseph’s Group, the Booth Group and Bridges Group.<\/p>\n
Kathy knew the Booth Group. When talked about Bridges Group, she couldn’t help thinking of Ella’s family.<\/p>\n
But why did Bridges Group want to develop in City N?<\/p>\n
Kathy didn\u2019t know about it and didn\u2019t pay attention to it too.<\/p>\n
She helped Joseph organize the files, checked the time and walked to desk.<\/p>\n
\u201cJoseph, it is time to have dinner.\u201d<\/p>\n
It was late. Joseph always didn\u2019t eat on time, which made her worried.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will order John to drive you back.\u201d Joseph said.<\/p>\n
Kathy frowned and didn\u2019t move.<\/p>\n
John walked in and looked at them. He didn\u2019t dare to speak.<\/p>\n
Joseph looked up and saw Kathy\u2019s anxious eyes. He finally put up his pen.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s have dinner together.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy smiled.<\/p>\n
\u201cWill you go to the hospital tomorrow?\u201d Joseph asked.<\/p>\n
Kathy shook her head. Benedict would go aboard to attend meetings and several professors were not in the hospital too so she had a three-day holiday.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want you to accompany me to North Bay.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy remembered he would bid tomorrow and said, \u201cBut I’m not suitable to attend it tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n
She was not the regular employee of the Joseph’s Group and others would attend the auction with Joseph.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can decide it.\u201d Joseph firmly said.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy mother may attend it too.\u201d Kathy thought and said.<\/p>\n
Now Jennifer was in charge of the Booth Group. Bertie was absent and Jennifer might attend the auction on behalf of the Booth Group.<\/p>\n
\u201cHum. What do you think of the North Bay?\u201d Joseph asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe North Bay may develop quickly in the future. The government has planned that it will be used for medical purposes so it will benefit us to get that land with the support of government.\u201d<\/p>\n
The north of the City N was just developed and there were many companies competing for it, which showed its potential.<\/p>\n
But she thought the Booth Group would compete with the Joseph’s Group.<\/p>\n
She understood Joseph well but Jennifer was also famous for her excellence. As for Bridges Group, Kathy didn\u2019t know about it.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Joseph’s Group has invested many hospitals in these years. But North Bay was not involved. If we could get this land, it will benefit a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Booth Group will also compete for this land, and it is a tough competitor.\u201d Kathy reminded.<\/p>\n
Her Grandpa established the Booth Group and it still kept growing. And the Booth Group didn\u2019t have business in City N before so it was not famous as the Joseph’s Group.<\/p>\n
But who would get the land tomorrow was still unknown.<\/p>\n
\u201cI won\u2019t be mercy.\u201d Joseph smiled.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know you would compete for it fairly and I won\u2019t support anyone.\u201d Kathy was neutral.<\/p>\n
After the dinner, Joseph sent Kathy back. Before getting out of the car, she repeatedly told Joseph, \u201cDon\u2019t work overtime. Go home early.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are not in the Joseph Bay and I don\u2019t want to go back.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t do that.\u201d Kathy was a little annoyed.<\/p>\n
Joseph was serious before. Seeing Kathy was annoyed, he became gentle and said, \u201cKathy, I want to stay with you all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I go to the hospital, you can help me attend the auction tomorrow.\u201d Jennifer suddenly said.<\/p>\n
Kathy was stunned but she also agreed Joseph to accompany him tomorrow.<\/p>\n
But Jennifer didn\u2019t feel well now. Kathy frowned. She could not bear to see mom go to work while sick.<\/p>\n
\u201cMom, but I don’t know anything.\u201d Kathy frowned. She was afraid that she might mess things up.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will ask Director Rupert to go with you tomorrow. We will bid for the land in North Bay used for medical purpose. In order to develop our business in City N, we must get that land.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy bit her lips and slowly nodded.<\/p>\n
It meant she and Joseph would be in opposite positions tomorrow.<\/p>\n
Kathy accompanied her mother back to the room. She took over some files about the auction tomorrow and Jennifer told her to remember it tonight.<\/p>\n
Actually she knew about the auction in the Joseph’s Group.<\/p>\n
And she also knew the reserve price of the Joseph’s Group.<\/p>\n
She also got the Booth Group\u2019s information and the bidding price was lower than that of the Joseph’s Group. She could choose to raise the price and get the land.<\/p>\n
But it was not fair.<\/p>\n
Kathy agonizingly grabbed her hair and she wouldn’t dare to attend the auction tomorrow.<\/p>\n
At this time, her phone rang and it was Joseph.<\/p>\n
Kathy didn’t answer the first call and she answered the second call.<\/p>\n
She was a little nervous and kept silent.<\/p>\n
\u201cWho annoys you? Huh?\u201d Joseph gently said.<\/p>\n
When Kathy was annoyed, she always kept silent.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo one, I just provoke myself.\u201d Kathy was annoyed and said in an aggressive tone.<\/p>\n
\u201cTell me what happens.\u201d Joseph frowned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1117","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1117","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1117"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
