Chapter 191
\nMy Sweetheart novel Chapter 191<\/p>\n
It was night time, and a drizzle were starting out there.<\/p>\n
Kathy had just left the NCHV Medical Company, and there was a black Cayenne parked at the entrance.<\/p>\n
A man in white shirt and black pants was holding an umbrella in the middle of the rain. Although the visibility was very low due to lack of lighting, his perfect features were still very much distinguishable.<\/p>\n
Kathy stopped in her tracks momentarily. Joseph\u2019s leather shoes were drenched in rainwater, signifying that he had been in the rain for some time.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen did you arrive?\u201d Kathy trotted towards him and wrapped her arms around his.<\/p>\n
There was a calm and composed expression on Joseph\u2019s face as he stroked Kathy\u2019s hair and sliding it to behind her ears. Her mesmerizing side profile came into view.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have just arrived and was planning to give you a call.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can just let the driver pick me up.\u201d Kathy replied softly.<\/p>\n
She knew that Joseph was always busy lately, so she had been picked up by the driver for a few times before this. It was a while since he had come to fetch her personally.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s raining now, so I\u2019m slightly worried about you.\u201d Joseph continued to caress her long hair lovingly before he lowered his gaze and kissed her on her lips.<\/p>\n
This man was often times domineering but sometimes he was gentle. He had never failed to captivate her\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m going on a business trip tomorrow.\u201d Kathy leaned against Joseph\u2019s shoulder in the car while informing him of this.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve been going on a lot of business trips lately.\u201d Joseph couldn\u2019t help knitting his eyebrows.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlexia has resigned, so I\u2019m taking over her duties for now. I\u2019ll need to go on a lot more business trips in the future.\u201d She replied.<\/p>\n
\u201cAren\u2019t you going to have your exam soon? You should just resign.\u201d Joseph replied in a low voice.<\/p>\n
Kathy frowned as she thought of her chances of participating in the exam. She didn\u2019t know whether she was qualified to take part yet. How could she resign just like this?<\/p>\n
\u201cI think I\u2019ll wait a little longer.\u201d<\/p>\n
At this moment, Joseph produced a file from the drawer next to him and handed it to her. Kathy accepted the file with a surprised look on her face as she saw the words \u201cBoston University\u201d printed on the file. Her hands were slightly shaking now.<\/p>\n
Could it be\u2026<\/p>\n
She flipped open the file and saw that it was her thesis from back then. But this version here was obviously not written by her.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow did you get this?\u201d Kathy asked with an astounded expression.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy grandpa is one of the founders of Boston University, and I used to be part of the school\u2019s board of directors. It was a piece of cake for me to get your thesis.\u201d Joseph explained calmly.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo that was it, no wonder you were able to help me last time.\u201d Kathy leafed through the thesis and came to the realization that this version was probably the one being accepted by the examiner back then. Anyhow, this was not her own work. What had happened to her own work? If it was really swapped with someone else\u2019s, then who could have done that? She didn\u2019t know who was holding such a strong grudge against her.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you believe me if I say that this thesis is not written by me?\u201d Kathy smiled mockingly and said. Joseph frowned as he took the file over to study it. His frown deepened as he flipped through that thesis.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll find out who is behind this for you.\u201d He said with determination.<\/p>\n
\u201cWon\u2019t it be difficult to do that?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJust leave it to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joseph\u2019s words were always credible in her opinion.<\/p>\n
She lowered her gaze as her eyes were gradually filled with an iciness.<\/p>\n
\u201cI suspect that Herbert was behind this, but I don\u2019t have any proof. She wouldn\u2019t admit either.\u201d She speculated.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright, I\u2019ll use this clue to start my investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou never informed me in advance, and every time I am done with my business there, there is no reason for me to stay behind while everything is counted as company\u2019s expenses.\u201d Kathy tried to explain.<\/p>\n
\u201cthe so called company\u2019s expense is also mine, mine is yours, right ?\u201d Joseph squeezed her chin and said in a low but sexy voice.<\/p>\n
Kathy was slightly blushing now as she looked into Joseph\u2019s black jet pupils. She could see her reflection in his eyes, with her face a ripe red color. She couldn\u2019t help falling into his embrace, as Joseph\u2019s loving words were becoming more irresistible for her as time went on\u2026<\/p>\n
Three hours later, Kathy arrived at City B.<\/p>\n
When she exited the airport, she could see a familiar figure standing not far away. When that person saw Kathy, he walked towards her slowly. Kathy frowned slightly as she stopped in her tracks. She was now focusing her cautious gaze at the approaching figure.<\/p>\n
She wanted to ignore him, but Billy had entered her field of vision and came to her side.<\/p>\n
\u201cMiss Kathy, I have waited for you specifically.\u201d Billy had his hands buried in his pockets, and there was a hint of bitterness in his voice.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t remember having any professional ties with you, Mr. Hilton.\u201d Kathy replied unhappily while furrowing her brows.<\/p>\n
Billy smiled in response, \u201cWho knows about that? You can\u2019t be sure of everything right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you want from me?\u201d Kathy stared at him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just want to have a meal with you, that\u2019s all. Since there are various businesses under the Qi Group in City B, it is only natural for me to welcome you since you\u2019re here in my area.\u201d Billy\u2019s tone was quite adamant.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow did you know that I will be coming here?\u201d Kathy peeked at him suspiciously and suspected that Billy had learnt of her schedule in advance. She didn\u2019t disclose her schedule to anybody at all except for the party whom she was going to cooperate with.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ll know about that sooner or later.\u201d Billy bowed as he extended an invitation for Kathy to board his car. Kathy didn\u2019t accept his invitation as she was about to hail a taxi by the road.<\/p>\n
Billy\u2019s gaze intensified while he focused on her, and there was a coldness that gradually spread in his eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cKathy, my mother has invited you for a meal.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-857","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/857","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=857"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
