Ella was obviously well prepared, as she came to knock on Joseph\u2019s door early in the morning.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was only a student of University F and was merely accommodating to Joseph\u2019s work arrangements, but Ella was working directly for Joseph. Important information was passed to her first, which she would then pass to Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy came to open the door, seeing Ella, she was expressionless.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHold on for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After she said so, she went to shut the door again, yet Ella was quicker and held back the door.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll wait inside,\u201d as she said so, she pushed Kathy away with a slight force of her hand.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph sat on the couch, handsome and elegant as always. Seeing Ella, his thin lips curled up sarcastically, \u201cSecretary Bridges is indeed responsible.<\/p>\n<p>His tone was very unpleased upon closer inspection.<\/p>\n<p>But Ella pretended not to hear him and passed him the meeting schedule for today.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph was only a speaker for today, the rest of the speeches would be handled by the person in charge of the research and development department of the Joseph\u2019s Group.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoseph, I brought you some breakfast. I\u2019m afraid you wouldn\u2019t have time to eat later, have some first quickly.\u201d Ella\u2019s look at Joseph was full of care.<\/p>\n<p>Just that Joseph was not impressed at all, taking over the document he then held onto Kathy\u2019s hand, the two preparing to go down for breakfast.<\/p>\n<p>He left her some cold words, \u201cElla, remember your position. You\u2019re not my personal secretary but my work secretary. If you dare to appear in my room again tomorrow, I\u2019ll change your hotel for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said there words without mercy.<\/p>\n<p>Ella\u2019s face immediately paled. She wanted to chase after them, but looking at how harmonised the two\u2019s silhouettes were, she hesitated.<\/p>\n<p>She clenched her fist and took a deep breath, going down to the event venue.<\/p>\n<p>There was still an hour before the promotional event started, Kathy was reading a book while eating her breakfast. Tomorrow would be her turn to make a speech on stage, at this moment, she was finally feeling the pressure.<\/p>\n<p>But Joseph was calm as always, holding onto her, he took her book away. \u201cYou can read your script tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo!\u201d Kathy refused immediately.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at her script to make a speech\u2026 seemed embarrassing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis occasion is not that formal, relax,\u201d Joseph frowned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy did that woman come along too? Are you not jealous?\u201d Veronica obviously saw it too, as she asked suddenly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re just work partners,\u201d Kathy replied lightly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince you have decided to be together with my brother, although I know that my brother is very serious towards relationships, but men still have to be watched.\u201d Veronica frowned.<\/p>\n<p>She knew about Ella\u2019s means, to let her grandfather accept her, she must have been not easy to deal with.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you for reminding me, Miss Veronica,\u201d Kathy smiled.<\/p>\n<p>Although Veronica had changed a lot of her opinion towards Kathy, but the two were not close at all. So the topic of their conversation eventually landed on their mutual friend, Zofia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cZofia used to like my brother, I always thought that she would end up marrying my brother,\u201d Veronica said silently.<\/p>\n<p>Zofia was her best friend from she was young, if she could marry the brother she respected the most, it was the best thing to happen in her eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Yet her brother never had any feelings for Zofia.<\/p>\n<p>Then when Zofia had amnesia, she always thought it was a good thing. The person she liked did not like her back was really a cruel thing, she did not want Zofia to continue suffering.<\/p>\n<p>But she did not expect her to regain her memory.<\/p>\n<p>Now, her brother had another woman by his side.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s still good that she is now back in Country C, she\u2019ll meet the man who truly loves her,\u201d Veronica sighed.<\/p>\n<p>But Kathy stayed silent. Zofia was not one to give up so easily, she would accept no one besides Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>Every time she thought of Zofia, Kathy would feel sad.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou won\u2019t be angry with Zofia, right?\u201d Veronica asked suddenly.<\/p>\n<p>She saw Kathy being expressionless, seeming like it was nothing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019m that tolerant,\u201d Kathy smiled in exasperation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1205","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1205","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=1205"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
