Would you like to come to my house for dinner tonight?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBilly, I don\u2019t owe you anything right now,\u201d Kathy said unhappily.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy mother has just been discharged from the hospital. Now she is going to settle in City N. She wants to meet you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thinking of Jennifer, Kathy was a bit swayed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m busy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you busy investigating what happened five years ago?\u201d Billy looked at her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow did you know?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you want to pursue postgraduate studies, you must obtain your diploma first. The incident five years ago stirred up the entire educational circle. You were a top student from Boston University. It is very difficult for you to get rid of such a scandal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy\u2019s body trembled slightly. Every time that matter was brought up, she could hardly control herself.<\/p>\n<p>She took a deep breath and turned around. \u201cBilly, what do you mean by that?\u201d said she.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaybe I can help you.\u201d Billy narrowed his eyes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo need.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then, Kathy turned around and decided to go.<\/p>\n<p>Billy\u2019s face darkened, and his black eyes narrowed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t you want to know who framed you?\u201d Billy said casually.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will find the answer myself,\u201d she stopped and said coldly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will only cause trouble.\u201d Billy warned her.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy left. Through the window, he looked at Kathy\u2019s back with concern.<\/p>\n<p>Half an hour later, Kathy arrived at the Building of the Joseph\u2019s Group.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy had already called Joseph. He was still in a meeting.<\/p>\n<p>So, she waited for him downstairs.<\/p>\n<p>As she checked the news on her phone, she saw the headline news that Jennifer Booth went back from abroad.<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer was a star in City N many years ago and she retired after she married Mr. Hilton. Although she had long since retired from the entertainment industry, she always drew people\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n<p>The reporters interviewed Jennifer at the airport. Kathy watched the video and learned that Jennifer was going to settle in City N.<\/p>\n<p>She still remembered that she had promised to visit her when she was free.<\/p>\n<p>She worried about her.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph showed up soon. The employees were already in off duty, but there were still many of them passing by.<\/p>\n<p>As Joseph walked towards Kathy, he naturally attracted everyone\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was slightly embarrassed, but it was too late to go.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHave you been waiting for a long time?\u201d He asked with concern.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy shook her head, took Joseph\u2019s arm and walked out with him. \u201cI shouldn\u2019t have come here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone in the Joseph\u2019s Group knows that I\u2019m married.\u201d Joseph looked at her rosy cheeks. One year after they got married, she was still so shy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven though you\u2019re married, you\u2019re still their dream husband,\u201d Kathy muttered.<\/p>\n<p>Although Joseph was no longer a doctor, the legends about him did not vanish. His identity as president was also eye-catching.<\/p>\n<p>The support group had been disbanded, but he still had fans.<\/p>\n<p>This was what Alexia had told her.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph smiled and said, \u201cI\u2019m Kathy Kathy\u2019s husband.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was embarrassed, \u201cBe serious, please!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am serious. You know, a man like Joseph doesn\u2019t need anything, does he?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That was why Kathy felt perplexed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll go to the mall.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGood luck. I\u2019m going scuba diving. Bye!\u201d Alexia quickly hung up the phone.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy could tell that she was in a good mood.<\/p>\n<p>She didn\u2019t tell her about Johnson\u2019s suspension.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph was invited to a dinner party that night, so she got the chance to go shopping.<\/p>\n<p>She usually shopped online. After Alexia left City N, she had never gone to the shopping malls.<\/p>\n<p>On the second floor was menswear. As Kathy entered the elevator, she saw an advertisement on the wall. It was a male model wearing underwear. Many girls peeked at the ad.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was not interested in it. But when she passed by that store, she was stopped by the clerk. \u201cMiss, do you want to buy underwear for your boyfriend?\u201d She said.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy paused for a moment and looked around. She had never done this before. How could she know Joseph\u2019s preferences?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMiss, this is our latest stretchy underwear. I\u2019ll give you a sample. Let your boyfriend try on it. If he likes it, you can come here and buy some more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy did not say anything. The enthusiastic clerk had already put the sample into Kathy\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Kathy frowned, \u201cWhat size is this?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLarge, Miss. You\u2019re tall and slender. I guess your boyfriend must be very strong, right?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Strong?<\/p>\n<p>Kathy blushed slightly. That was true.<\/p>\n<p>The clerk was very sensitive. She knew Kathy felt a bit embarrassed. So, she gave her another sample and said, \u201cHere is an X-large one. Our products are great. I promise! Remember to come here and buy some more, OK?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-883","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/883","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=883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
