Please go to work.\u201d she was afraid to suffer a lot tonight.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph got on her and bit her earlobe so that Kathy could not leave him, \u201cIt\u2019s too late. You made trouble\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Looking at the girl sleeping in his arms, Joseph kissed the middle between her eyebrows and turned around to the study.<\/p>\n<p>He dialed John\u2019s number and asked, \u201cAnything updated?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoseph, it was Miss. Edith Wesley who let the waiters lock the two exits of the hotel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph had a grim look and went on asking, \u201cWhat did Conor say?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>John answered, \u201cThree days later, Miss. Edith Wesley will go to Country B alone. Now Conor is going back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the next morning, Kathy would have a business trip and rushed to pack her luggage after getting up. Joseph came out of the bathroom and was annoyed at what she was doing.<\/p>\n<p>He asked in an extreme low voice, \u201cWhere are you going?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy said, \u201cI will travel on business, probably one week.\u201d she was in a little unease when looking at Joseph to know how unhappy he was.<\/p>\n<p>She seemed to forget to tell him before.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph walked closely to her without putting on a shirt; his strong chest muscle was too fascinating. He said, \u201cYou are not well-behaved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy kept watching his chest muscle, then got kind of blush.<\/p>\n<p>She said, \u201cI was just informed yesterday. Are you angry with me to tell you so late?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHum!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yes, Joseph got angry for sure.<\/p>\n<p>He was always the last person who knew something about Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>He pinched his middle between eyebrows and tried to control all of his anger.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you think is it better to transfer you to work with me?\u201d it sounded that he ordered her more than asking for her opinion.<\/p>\n<p>His words shocked Kathy who believed herself good enough to stay in NCHV Medical Company. She could not imagine how she would be if working with Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy did not resist this arrangement too much, but it was still different from that before they developed medicine together in the lab.<\/p>\n<p>She had to warn him, \u201cNow I am ok. Don\u2019t do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph squinted and smiled mysteriously.<\/p>\n<p>The breakfast was already prepared by Joseph. Now he got up one hour earlier, doing exercises and preparing breakfast, which he settled down into a routine. So, after Kathy getting up, she would right have the breakfast.<\/p>\n<p>This was the type of life she deeply loved.<\/p>\n<p>However, Kathy was some of depressed with that she would not see Joseph in the following week.<\/p>\n<p>She stared at the good-looking man with great attentiveness.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph looked at her to ask, \u201cYou are going to the airport?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy shook her head to say, \u201cI am going to the train station. It takes short time to the City B by high rail.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Joseph dropped off Kathy to the train station, Alexia was already there.<\/p>\n<p>She saw Joseph coming to the waiting area inside the station with Kathy and was a little envious to say, \u201cOops. What a lovely couple!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy smiled and stopped Joseph, \u201cThank you so much for dropping me off here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was noon time when they arrived in the City B. Johnson asked someone to pick them up. The new medicine, MT Medicine, was the key product of this year from NCHV, which would be for sale this month. Alexia, as the manager of Sales Department, had to fulfill the company\u2019s selling task.<\/p>\n<p>They met several distributors in the afternoon and should have rest in the evening. However, just now they were informed to have a conference on medical research later; Kathy would attend it alone since Alexia had to prepare for the next day\u2019s tasks.<\/p>\n<p>The conference was held in an exhibition hall near their hotel. As soon as she sat down, she got a call from Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>She answered it with smile, \u201cI am in a meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph\u2019s voice was kept lower and tender, \u201cWhat are you busy today?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy seemed to be reporting to her leader, \u201cI met several potential customers with Alexia to introduce our new medicine. Now they should agree to purchase.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sitting on a chair adhered to the chairback, Joseph watched the starry night though the window and kept thinking about the sweet and graceful girl all over his mind.<\/p>\n<p>He laughed, \u201cYou are doing well on the new position?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy said, \u201cIt is better than the previous routine job. Anyway, I plan to prepare for the postgraduates\u2019 exam of next year. If too busy later, I would resign.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFeel free to tell me if you need help. Ok?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOk. Joseph.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hanging off the call, Kathy found there was someone watching her in the near.<\/p>\n<p>She frowned and saw Billy Hilton; at once she shifted her eyes from him.<\/p>\n<p>Herbert got rid of Billy\u2019s hand and said, \u201cThere is your Kathy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Billy did not say anything but walked to sit beside Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was unhappy about his move, \u201cMr. Hilton, your seat is on the first row.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cNo problem. I don\u2019t mind the seat.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-840","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/840","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=840"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
