She did not expect Joseph to come pick her up.<\/p>\n<p>Did he see Billy just now?<\/p>\n<p>He retracted his gaze and looked at Kathy. He held her cold hands and said, \u201cIt\u2019s cold recently. You should put on more clothes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There was a hint of reproach in his tone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause I have someone to pick me up from work.\u201d Kathy smiled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDid things go well today?\u201d Joseph asked.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy shook her head. \u201cPeople in the BT Group are not very cooperative. No progress was made today. I have to hurry back and send an email to Mr. Johnson.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s have dinner first.\u201d Joseph said.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy wanted to refute, but she nodded tactfully as she saw Joseph\u2019s gloomy expression.<\/p>\n<p>It was quite late. Joseph arranged for a Japanese restaurant near the hotel. As soon as Kathy sat down, she immediately turned on her laptop.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoseph, don\u2019t be angry. I\u2019m anxious to get a reply from Mr. Johnson about today\u2019s matter.\u201d Kathy looked up at Joseph expectantly.<\/p>\n<p>His face was cold, but he didn\u2019t say anything.<\/p>\n<p>However, he sent a message to Johnson, \u201cCome to B City and settle the matter with the BT Group.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Johnson: \u201cDidn\u2019t I send your wife over?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph: \u201cDon\u2019t you know who is in charge of the BT Group now?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Johnson: \u201c\u2026 I know, but it\u2019s not my responsibility to do things like that. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>Joseph: \u201cIf I ask you to come over, then you should come over!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Johnson couldn\u2019t take it anymore and called Joseph, \u201cJoseph, you\u2019re kidding me! The agreement has been signed. Why would I need to go over there?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t want this position anymore?\u201d Joseph said coldly.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson paused. Joseph was threatening him for Kathy!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou put your wife over your friend!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe matter with the BT Group won\u2019t go smoothly.\u201d Joseph frowned.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy didn\u2019t have enough experience, so it would be very difficult for her to deal with it.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the higher-ups of the BT Group were Peter and Billy. He did not want Kathy to have more contact with these two people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know. The person behind this is Billy, and he will definitely make a move. But if I go over, he would dare to do anything.\u201d Johnson narrowed his eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Billy was a big fish to them. And they needed to have something on him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTell Lincoln to come over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At this moment, Lincoln was in NCHV Medical Company\u2019s office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJohnson, why are you dragging me into this mess?\u201d Lincoln said discontentedly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t you want to know more about Kathy? This is a good opportunity,\u201d Johnson said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I don\u2019t want to solve problems for her.\u201d Lincoln frowned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not up to you. Joseph has agreed!\u201d Johnson smiled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou two set me up! That scheming Billy, you\u2019re the only one who dares to cooperate with him!\u201d Lincoln said angrily. He had warned Johnson when NCHV Medical Company wanted to cooperate with the BT Group, but Johnson insisted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the matter with the BT Group is settled smoothly, Joseph will definitely give you a big bonus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI belong to the Joseph\u2019s Group. I don\u2019t want to interfere in your affairs!\u201d Lincoln was still reluctant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen tell Joseph yourself. Guess what he would say?\u201d Johnson took the car keys and left.<\/p>\n<p>Lincoln gritted his teeth angrily but finally compromised. He immediately went to B City.<\/p>\n<p>The next morning, Kathy got up early and wanted to check if Johnson had replied to her email.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as she flipped over, she was hugged by the man beside her, and a kiss landed on her lips.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was used to it. But it was early in the morning and neither of them had brushed their teeth&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, she was reluctant to do so.<\/p>\n<p>Now was not a good time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoseph, it itches \u2026\u201d His hand was rubbing her back, and Kathy couldn\u2019t help curling up.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph opened his eyes and saw Kathy\u2019s pure and tender face in front of him. Lust appeared in his eyes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStay with me a little longer.\u201d At this moment his voice was hoarse and seductive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, I\u2019ll be right there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After hanging up the phone, Kathy felt a familiar scent approached her. She turned around and saw that Joseph had already gotten up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen are you leaving?\u201d Joseph asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLater.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHave breakfast with me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy looked at the time and immediately pushed Joseph inside the bathroom to wash up.<\/p>\n<p>But the man held her and pushed her against the wall. Then he kissed her again.<\/p>\n<p>This man \u2026 really liked kisses!<\/p>\n<p>After washing up, the two of them walked down to the restaurant. As soon as they ordered the food, Lincoln called.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy wanted to pick it up, but Joseph took the phone from her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCome up to the second floor and find yourself a seat away from us,\u201d Joseph said it a commanding tone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhere\u2019s your wife?\u201d Lincoln asked angrily.<\/p>\n<p>He came all the way here but didn\u2019t get any welcome!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s having breakfast with me.\u201d Joseph said indifferently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI also want you to accompany me!\u201d Lincoln smiled.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph sneered, \u201cIt\u2019s not going to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then, he hung up the phone.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy did not know what they talked about but Lincoln seemed to be reprimanded by Joseph. So Kathy was a little worried.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat are you thinking about?\u201d Seeing that Kathy was absent-minded, Joseph held her face.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy shook her head. Seeing Lincoln\u2019s figure, she pointed over and said, \u201cMr. Fletcher is here?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lincoln didn\u2019t follow Joseph\u2019s words to find a seat away from them. Instead, he sat right beside Kathy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-863","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/863","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=863"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
