Chapter 70
\nMy Sweetheart novel Chapter 70<\/p>\n
Joseph was sitting at the corner, wearing a white shirt and black trousers. His powerful aura couldn\u2019t be concealed and he was always the spotlight among the people.<\/p>\n
Sitting next to him were a few men in years dressing in suits. They should be senior executive ranking individuals.<\/p>\n
Johnson greeted them when he came in. Kathy found that they were the high ups from Gorfield Medical Company.<\/p>\n
Gorfield Medical Company was exactly the company she was suspected of leaking information to.<\/p>\n
Kathy and Alexia sat quietly on the other side. As Johnson\u2019s secretary, Joanne had been serving winc beside him.<\/p>\n
The CEO of Gorfield was young, only in his forties, he was chatting with Johnson.<\/p>\n
When they mentioned about the leaking of NCHV\u2019s proposal, Joanne unintentionally shuddered and accidentally spilled the wine.<\/p>\n
Johnson\u2019s shirt was stained by wine, although Joanne apologized immediately, Johnson was irritated.<\/p>\n
\u201cCome out with me.\u201d Johnson\u2019s face sank and he instructed Alexia to buy him a new shirt when he passed by her.<\/p>\n
The room left only a woman who was Kathy. On the opposite side, Joseph was talking to a young man, but his gaze stayed on Kathy.<\/p>\n
Kathy frowned and avoided his gaze.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMiss Kathy, do you want to try some?\u201d A man sat beside her, he was Gorfield\u2019s CEO\u2019s assistant, Gabriel Harold.<\/p>\n
Kathy looked at the light blue liquid, although it was a cocktail, the alcohol content was not low.<\/p>\n
She then shook her hand, \u201cI\u2019m not very good at drinking.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt tasted sweet. Since you come with Mr Johnson, don\u2019t tell me you are here just for display?\u201d Gabriel\u2019s tone deepened.<\/p>\n
Kathy was placed in difficult position. She also didn\u2019t know why did Johnson bring her over.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince you are being so disrespectful, that\u2019s fine. I thought the people around Johnson would know how to behave smartly, seems like it is really just a pretty face.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy was provoked by his words, it\u2019s obvious that she couldn\u2019t avoid drinking when she came here. So she took a deep breath and took the wine glass.<\/p>\n
Gabriel was pleased, \u201cNot bad.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gabriel then kept talking to her, but Kathy wasn\u2019t paying attention, her attention was involuntarily drawn to Joseph\u2026but she didn\u2019t dare to look at him.<\/p>\n
Johnson returned with a clean shirt and got back to his seat, only that the person next to him was Alexia.<\/p>\n
Joanne sat next to Kathy.<\/p>\n
At that moment, a man came into the room, he was the head of marketing department of Gorfield. His eyes was bit doubtful when he saw Joanne.<\/p>\n
\u201cHere are a few employees from NCHV who were in charge of the marketing proposal. Who was the one who had made a deal with you?\u201d The CEO narrowed his eyes, it was obvious that he had investigated secretly.<\/p>\n
The man frowned, her gaze falling on Joanne paused, and then looked at Kathy who was beside her.<\/p>\n
\u201cMiss Kathy.\u201d He spoke with a deep voice.<\/p>\n
Kathy was baffled, this was the first time she\u2019d seen this man.<\/p>\n
\u201cKathy, what did you say?\u201d Johnson took a sip on his cigarette, his sharp eyes narrowed.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know this guy! I didn\u2019t make a deal with him!\u201d<\/p>\n
With a worried look on Alexia\u2019s face, she tried to speak, but she was stopped by Johnson.<\/p>\n
\u201cSam, tell the whole story specifically.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe gave me the information at Yolk Caf\u00e9 located Lyan District on 20th of last month.\u201d Sam spoke.<\/p>\n
\u201cKathy, where were you that day?\u201d Johnson asked.<\/p>\n
Kathy frowned, it was already more than half month ago, that day was weekend.<\/p>\n
If she wasn\u2019t mistaken, she was with Joseph who brought her to see the bridal room\u2026<\/p>\n
But could she say it out\u2026<\/p>\n
She looked at Joseph and paused,\u201d I went to see my new house that day at Joseph Bay, I didn\u2019t go to Lyan District.\u201d<\/p>\n
Johnson\u2019s arm was pinched by Alexia at some point, his eyebrows knitted when the pain hit him.<\/p>\n
\u201cRegardless of whether Kathy had seduced me or not, you had committed crime, I will deal with it impartially.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joanne bit her lips deadly and was soon taken away.<\/p>\n
The people for Gorfield left soon after. The two company officially started working together after picking out the traitors.<\/p>\n
Kathy was still a little confused as Johnson didn\u2019t clarify their relationship.<\/p>\n
She had never approach Johnson, and she unintentionally looked towards Johnson.<\/p>\n
This gaze caused Joseph\u2019s aura grew even colder.<\/p>\n
Johnson suddenly smiled and waved his hand towards Kathy, \u201cKathy, sit over here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy\u2019s scalp was numb, even without looking at Joseph she could imagine how terrifying his eyes were.<\/p>\n
But she couldn\u2019t disobey Johnson as he was her boss.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr Johnson, thanks for trusting me and look into this matter.\u201d The corner of her mouth curved up and slowly walked over.<\/p>\n
\u201cShow your gratitude to him, I\u2019m paid to clear this mess\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy was at least two meters away from Joseph, everyone in the room had left, and there was no one else between them.<\/p>\n
Looking at Kathy\u2019s awkwardness, Alexia quickly dragged Johnson out. The two of them were practically hugging each other. Did she miss to catch up Alexia\u2019s latest relationship status?<\/p>\n
The sight behind of her grew even colder when she was in her own thought.<\/p>\n
Kathy quickly turned over and tittered at Joseph. Just when she was half step away from Joseph, her wrist was grabbed by him and she fell into his arms.<\/p>\n
Being surrounded under the familiar masculine breath, her face was pinched by Joseph, which was quite painful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-736","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/736","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=736"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
