Chapter 157
\nMy Sweetheart novel Chapter 157<\/p>\n
After he heard this Joseph raised his eyes, at this moment his expression that was usually calm was now rather apathetic.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you looking for a fight?\u201d Joseph leaned back in his chair, pinched his eyebrows together and relaxed his expression slightly.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you don\u2019t mind then I\u2019ll take you up on that offer.\u201d Lincoln said rather faithfully, and as he saw Edith enter he then said, \u201cEdith if there is something you need then just say it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Edith frowned, she had heard that Joseph was not in a good mood today so she came to check up on him, however with Lincoln also here, she decided not to ask too many questions.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m new here, Sir, is there any work you want me to do?\u201d Edith asked instead.<\/p>\n
Joseph raised his head and instructed John to come in and take Edith out to find some tasks to do.<\/p>\n
Lincoln narrowed his eyes as he saw Edith leave and then looked at Joseph and asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cI saw your pretty girl, but honestly speaking she is unsuitable for you.\u201d Lincoln pointed out sharply.<\/p>\n
Johnson also said the same thing before. They both had grown up together with Joseph and therefore understood the Joseph family very well. The future woman of the house in the Joseph family must be beautiful, smart and absolutely a one in a million woman.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you have just come here to give me advice then you can please leave.\u201d Joseph said in the most polite way possible.<\/p>\n
Lincoln touched his chin and noticed that Joseph had an unusually irritable mood today so he couldn\u2019t help but ask, \u201cDid you argue with her today?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s none of your business.\u201d Joseph frowned.<\/p>\n
\u201cJoseph, I noticed that Kathy seems both kind and gentle, and you like this type\u2026\u201d Lincoln recalled Kathy\u2019s calm appearance; however he felt that this girl also had thorns on her body.<\/p>\n
It just was not certain when these thorns would prick Joseph.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Fletcher, since you seem to be so unoccupied recently, there is a new project in South Africa, I want you to go oversee\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, no! I will go help you do whatever you need me to do now. I can\u2019t leave, I can\u2019t leave City N!\u201d Lincoln said angrily.<\/p>\n
As he saw Lincoln leave, Joseph lowered his eyes and put his hands together.<\/p>\n
After a while he called John inside and said, \u201cNext week there will be a press conference and grandpa will also be attending, so please make any necessary arrangements.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOk no problem Sir.\u201d<\/p>\n
At this moment Edith knocked on the door to enter and said, \u201cSir, here is your coffee with one spoonful of sugar.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joseph nodded and did not look at her again.<\/p>\n
Edith felt slightly awkward, but didn\u2019t leave. It was clear she had something she wanted to say.<\/p>\n
Joseph frowned however Edith had already walked towards him, the two of them were extremely close.<\/p>\n
\u201cSir, I know that you are preparing to do some research and development for a new drug and I just want to say that I have experience in this, therefore I would like to apply to take charge of this project.\u201d Edith said.<\/p>\n
Joseph looked at her and thought about how they were still selecting someone to take charge of this project. However because Edith had just started working here she was not someone he was currently considering.<\/p>\n
However as he considered her qualifications, this made her the most suitable candidate at this moment.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright, then you can take charge of this project.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you Sir.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEdith, I advise that you stay in Hospital Number 1, there is no need for you to come to the Joseph\u2019s group.\u201d Joseph said quietly.<\/p>\n
Edith had been working in Country C throughout the year and had been progressing well there. But if she only came here because Lincoln advised her to then this really would be too much trouble.<\/p>\n
Although she could continue to work in the medicine field, this completely altered her career path.<\/p>\n
It was just that Joseph never paid any attention to this.<\/p>\n
When the evening arrived, it was time to finish work.<\/p>\n
Kathy rarely stayed at the office after work so Alexia came over to speak with her, \u201cI don\u2019t remember giving you so much work.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI am doing some overtime by choice.\u201d Kathy smiled.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo you just willingly go out with him?\u201d Kathy\u2019s tone was a little angry.<\/p>\n
Alexia was silent.<\/p>\n
Then at this moment, Johnson who had already left unexpectedly came back, therefore Alexia had no time to conceal her sadness because Johnson had already clasped her wrist.<\/p>\n
\u201cJohnson, could you please be a little more respectful!\u201d Alexia tried to pull away from him.<\/p>\n
However Johnson just snorted coldly and was not going to let Alexia refuse him, \u201cAlexia, stop hiding from me!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not! I am doing some overtime; can you not see that I am busy?\u201d Alexia pointed towards the pile of documents on the desk.<\/p>\n
However Johnson didn\u2019t even look at the pile and instead held Alexia trying to make her leave with him. Kathy lowered her face to avoid Johnson\u2019s gaze who was in front of her and said, \u201cDid you not see that Alexia is busy?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s up to me whether she is busy or not.\u201d Johnson had a very cold look in his eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cJohnson, could you please let go of Alexia. She doesn\u2019t want to leave with you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cReally?\u201d Johnson smiled rather playfully and then lowered his head to look at Alexia who was still struggling to get away from him. He then strengthened his grip on her and said, \u201cAlexia, are you sure you don\u2019t want to leave with me?\u201d<\/p>\n
Alexia\u2019s eyes met with his which made her fearful and decide to just give in to what he wanted.<\/p>\n
\u201cKathy, you should leave here soon, I have some things I need to do with Johnson.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy frowned, and since this was Alexia\u2019s decision she decided to not get involved with the two of them.<\/p>\n
When she sat down she didn\u2019t realize that the time was already midnight. She turned on her phone however saw that there were no missed calls from Joseph.<\/p>\n
If things were normal then he would have been the one to call her first and come to collect her on time.<\/p>\n
However now he did none of these things anymore.<\/p>\n
Getting used to these changes was proving to be extremely difficult.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-823","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/823","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=823"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
