Chapter 61
\nMy Sweetheart novel Chapter 61<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I was lying to you, I did it purposely to you, because you are a woman who can\u2019t tell the right from wrong and talk nonsense.\u201d She turned around and walked away with a pun.<\/p>\n
The woman was irritated by her words, she ran towards Kathy to give her a quick kick, but it was dodged by Kathy.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou stop right there! How dare you insult me? I\u2019m your superior, don\u2019t you want to stay at NISIX anymore?\u201d The woman squinted at her indignantly.<\/p>\n
Kathy frowned, although her position was low in the company, that didn\u2019t mean that she could be abused by anyone.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m alright if you want to make a big fuss over this.\u201d Kathy said with a flat tone while pointing towards the camera at the corner, \u201cWho\u2019s the one that started this, there\u2019s plenty of evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n
The woman knew that she was at disadvantage, her anger tamed down, she secretly held a grudge towards Kathy since then.<\/p>\n
Alexia heard about what happened in the pantry and came over to comfort Kathy, \u201cJoanne went too far on you. Guess what? She had been into Johnson for a long time but Johnson didn\u2019t give a damn about her.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo way, I\u2019m going to report her.\u201d Alexia was exasperated, but Kathy remained calm as usual.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you want to report her, you might as well let her make a fool of herself in front of Johnson.\u201d Kathy said in a calm voice.<\/p>\n
Alexia was suddenly clicked by her words. Kathy this girl was unexpectedly smart and cunning.<\/p>\n
Due to the temporary interruption of the R&D projects with the Herbert\u2019s Group, Kathy was transferred to clerical position but she was promoted two ranking higher than her previous position. She was dragged to celebrate for her promotion by Alexia.<\/p>\n
Kathy was baffled by her promotion.<\/p>\n
After all, she had injured herself during the business trip, already causing troubles to the company, she didn\u2019t expect to be promoted.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt must be Johnson\u2019s idea. He found out your hidden potential,\u201d said Alexia.<\/p>\n
\u201cPerhaps he saw my potential of injuring myself.\u201d Kathy replied sarcastically.<\/p>\n
After choosing a quiet dining bar, the two of them dined at the terrace. The bar was lively as it was night time.<\/p>\n
Kathy looked at her phone from time to time, she remembered that Joseph had a surgery tonight, she was wondering whether it had over.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust give him a call if you want.\u201d Alexia leaned on her.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo way.\u201d Kathy was a little proud.<\/p>\n
But she still sent him a message to tell him that she was at the bar with Alexia.<\/p>\n
At that moment, on the other side of the terrace, Peter\u2019 gaze was directed towards Kathy while holding his glass when Kathy came in the bar.<\/p>\n
Things he\u2019d been through for the last few says caused his emotion to fluctuate like riding on a roller coaster, interchanging between the highest spot to the lowest spot without pausing.<\/p>\n
He had profoundly understood one thing during that period.<\/p>\n
He really couldn\u2019t forget about Kathy.<\/p>\n
However, he just couldn\u2019t destroy what he had gotten so far which he had already put so much effort on.<\/p>\n
He called Herbert and spoke gently, \u201cHerbert, please listen my explanation, I didn\u2019t cheat on you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou went to find Kathy, didn\u2019t you?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I did, but I didn\u2019t do anything overboard.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPeter, if I ask you to hurt Kathy, will you do as I say?\u201d Herbert asked.<\/p>\n
Peter was stunned, he involuntarily looked towards Kathy who was nearby, he was attracted by Kathy\u2019s charm even she was just standing there quietly.<\/p>\n
He forced himself to withdraw his gaze and took a deep breath, \u201cI\u2019m willing to do anything for your sake.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s too late, Peter. Let\u2019s break up\u201d<\/p>\n
Peter\u2019s face turned long when the phone changed to busy tone. He couldn\u2019t remain sane after guzzling a few bottles of beer, he stumbled towards Kathy.<\/p>\n
\u201cKathy.\u201d A familiar voice was heard.<\/p>\n
Kathy was brought into a booze-filled embrace when she turned around.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeter\u2026Let go!\u201d Kathy was struggling to release from him restraint.<\/p>\n
Peter\u2019s grip grew tighter and tighter, Kathy was trapped inside the balcony by a push, with nowhere to escape.<\/p>\n
Alexia went to the restroom, Kathy\u2019s phone was in her bag. Her eyebrows knitted, staring at the drunken man, she gave him a brutal slap.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeter, that\u2019s enough!\u201d Kathy shouted.<\/p>\n
Peter paused, sobering up quite a bit, looking at Kathy\u2019s angry expression, he laughed out, \u201c It\u2019s not enough, Kathy, it\u2019ll never be enough.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s drunk.\u201d Kathy frowned.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe deserved to die.\u201d Joseph\u2019s tone was dark and cold.<\/p>\n
Kathy trembled, she knew that Joseph would get angry, but she had never seen his expression like this.<\/p>\n
His face was deep and hollow as if his coldness could pierce through even the iciest of shells.<\/p>\n
She was afraid, subconsciously evading him.<\/p>\n
Joseph closed Kathy\u2019s eyes, he was afraid that he couldn\u2019t hold back, but he must suppress in front of Kathy.<\/p>\n
Back to the old mansion, Joseph was sitting in the study room, holding cigarettes with his slender fingertips.<\/p>\n
He seldom smoked, but tonight only cigarettes could keep him awake.<\/p>\n
His picked up his ringing phone.<\/p>\n
\u201cYoung Master, all the information about Peter had been sent to you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSend someone to keep an eye on him. Don\u2019t let him get close to Madam.\u201d<\/p>\n
After a while, Kathy noticed that Joseph was not yet back to their bedroom, she knocked and entered the study. She had just done bathing, wearing a pure white pyjamas, showing parts of her calves. Her skin was crystal clear, her silky long hair was eye-catching.<\/p>\n
Joseph raised his eyes, the warmness within his eyes gradually gained back.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy does it smell like cigarettes?\u201d Kathy smelled it as soon as she came in, and frowned.<\/p>\n
She had never seen Joseph smoked before.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s nothing, go back and rest.\u201d Joseph dropped his eyes, forcing himself to withdraw his gaze and divert his attention to the documents.<\/p>\n
\u201cAren\u2019t you going to sleep?\u201d Kathy looking at him with her black eyes blinking.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve something to take care of tonight, I\u2019ll be with you later.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy bit her lips. She didn\u2019t know since when she had got used to Joseph being around her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-727","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/727","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=727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
