Chapter 156
\nMy Sweetheart novel Chapter 156<\/p>\n
The next day, the sun shone into the room lazily, Kathy turned around and realized that nobody was lying down next to her.<\/p>\n
Joseph was drunk when he got home last night and he treated her roughly, but she couldn’t reject him.<\/p>\n
She freshened up and walked out with a resentful expression on her face, but then she saw a man in a suit making food in the kitchen, her anger quickly dissipated.<\/p>\n
It was a bit chilly in the morning, Joseph turned his head as Kathy sneezed multiple times in a row behind him, he looked a bit concerned.<\/p>\n
Kathy was only wearing a thin pyjama, she wanted to eat breakfast before getting dressed.<\/p>\n
Joseph made a light soup noodle dish, the broth was nicely seasoned, the chicken oil he used made it very fragrant.<\/p>\n
This man wasn’t only super good-looking, he could cook very well too.<\/p>\n
“Who did you drink together with last night?” Kathy had this question in her head for a while now.<\/p>\n
She knew that it had to be some business partners, but they had a fight last night and Joseph didn’t tell her anything.<\/p>\n
Joseph sat down next to her, he mixed the garnish on the noodle well before giving Kathy the food.<\/p>\n
He pondered briefly, he then went into the bedroom to grab a jacket and put it on her shoulders.<\/p>\n
“Thanks,” she muttered.<\/p>\n
“The executives of the Joseph’s Group, they are my friends, ” Joseph replied.<\/p>\n
“I thought it was for business, so you had a gathering with your friends then?” Kathy looked at him calmly.<\/p>\n
She felt like she tried to keep track of his matters more and more recently, she would get a bit sensitive at times.<\/p>\n
She knew that she shouldn’t, but she couldn’t help it.<\/p>\n
“Yeah, I’ll bring you along to the next gathering if you’re interested in coming,” said Joseph affectionately.<\/p>\n
Kathy raised her head, she was a bit surprised.<\/p>\n
Before this, Joseph was always so busy with his work at the hospital that she couldn’t even meet him for more than a second, not to mention social gatherings. She had never met any of his friends except for Johnson.<\/p>\n
From the way Joseph was phrasing it, it was as if he was trying to let her get to know his circle of friends.<\/p>\n
“No need, I was just worried about you last night, ” Kathy shook her head.<\/p>\n
Joseph squinted his eyes, there was a hint of anger in his eyes as he subtly raised Kathy’s face.<\/p>\n
He saw through the obvious sadness on her face.<\/p>\n
“Mrs. Joseph, what are you afraid of?” Joseph’s gaze was sharp.<\/p>\n
Kathy stared into his deep eyes, but she never said anything.<\/p>\n
Joseph didn’t stay for breakfast and left soon after.<\/p>\n
Kathy grimaced and ate the noodles slowly, the fullness of the broth suited her taste very well. She realized that Joseph understood her more than she thought.<\/p>\n
Recently he would make her food whenever he was home, and he would make all of her favourite dishes.<\/p>\n
A good house husband and a gentle person, what more could she have asked for?<\/p>\n
She went to work with her head full of thoughts, she walked to work as his place was very close to the medical company.<\/p>\n
There was a regular meeting in the morning, Kathy was now the sales department secretary and Alexia was the manager of the same department, Alexia was now her boss.<\/p>\n
But they still got along with each other as usual, their relationship wasn’t estranged just because they were boss and subordinates now.<\/p>\n
During the morning meeting, an unfamiliar man walked in and sat down in the last row. His flirtatious gaze followed Kathy the moment she came in.<\/p>\n
It made Kathy very uncomfortable, she had her back against him and she could feel her gaze piercing her back the whole time.<\/p>\n
“Kathy, who is that man? When did the NCHV Medical Company hire such a handsome guy?” Alexia kept glancing at Lincoln, the position of the most handsome guy in the NCHV Medical Company always belonged to Johnson.<\/p>\n
But this man here was just as handsome as Johnson!<\/p>\n
She knew very well that none of her qualities was a match for the people around Joseph. One day, Joseph would find a better wife.<\/p>\n
Lincoln rubbed his chin, this woman seemed gentle but her words were quite prickly.<\/p>\n
He then decided to go gossip with Johnson, only to see Johnson pressing his female subordinate against the wall.<\/p>\n
He was just gone for a bit and he was the only bachelor left in the group?<\/p>\n
He got frantic and left, back to the Joseph’s Group! No more of this public display of affection!<\/p>\n
Edith was back at the Joseph’s Group the moment Lincoln got back.<\/p>\n
She was entering the company as of today, as the head of the secretary.<\/p>\n
“Hello Edith,” greeted Lincoln.<\/p>\n
Edith smiled politely, she walked with him into the president’s office, but they were both halted at the door.<\/p>\n
John apologized to them, “The president is not seeing anybody today.”<\/p>\n
“But we are not just “anybody”!” Lincoln was not going to be stopped.<\/p>\n
John was just doing his job, he stopped them again and said, “My apologies, Mr. Fletcher, Miss Wesley. The president is not in a good mood right now, it would be best if both of you come back at a later time.”<\/p>\n
John was a victim of Joseph’s stormy mood for the whole morning, Joseph was usually more scrupulous in separating public from private matters, he wouldn’t let his personal interests affect his performance at work, but it was not the case today. He seemed like a different person today.<\/p>\n
Lincoln got even more curious, but Edith was worried, “What happened to Joseph?”<\/p>\n
John shook his head, he wasn’t in a position to gossip about his boss’s personal affairs.<\/p>\n
Lincoln knocked on the door and just stormed his way in.<\/p>\n
A document was immediately flung at him, “John, who is responsible for this report? It’s not comprehensible at all! Call this person here immediately!”<\/p>\n
Luckily, Lincoln had good reflex and he steadily caught the document, he walked towards Joseph and said, “Damn, why are you so mad?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-822","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/822","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=822"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
