She then clicked on her inbox to see Joseph\u2019s new schedule that had been emailed to her.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Joseph was going to attend a medical forum and would not be back until later the afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>So, why didn\u2019t he bring her with him&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Well, he must still be angry&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>During this entire morning, Kathy was distracted. However, because she did not go to work yesterday and her work was starting to pile up, Kathy quickly got into work.<\/p>\n<p>NCHV Medical Company was recently working with the Joseph\u2019s group to investigate Sammy\u2019s case, and fortunately, they had made some progress. However, this was previously Sue\u2019s responsibility, so Kathy had to contact Sue to compare their findings.<\/p>\n<p>Ever since Sue left, they had not been in touch.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy unlocked her phone and called Sue through her WeChat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKathy.\u201d Sue&#8217;s anxious voice came out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSue, I\u2019m here to get information from you about Sammy\u2019s case.\u201d Kathy said seriously.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay, I&#8217;ll send you an email.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After they talked about work, Kathy was about to hang up the phone.<\/p>\n<p>Sue then called out to her saying, \u201cKathy, I&#8217;m sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy remained silent. However, she was also not angry.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s just that her relationship with Sue was very difficult to return to what it was in the past.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>It was not until late afternoon that Joseph had returned, and when Kathy looked up, Joseph had already walked pass her.<\/p>\n<p>When John came out, Kathy went in with her coffee.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at the man focused on work from a distance, Kathy walked in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Joseph.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph lifted his eyes and they looked apathetic.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy&#8217;s heart ached slightly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy didn&#8217;t you come to work with me today?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou looked so tired last night; would it be bad to let you sleep more today? Hmm?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy felt embarrassed, the image of what happened last night gradually came to mind, it really seemed that way for several times&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>She did not even know how she had fallen asleep.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, are you being considerate?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph pulled her into his arms, \u201cMrs. Kathy, how can I be angry with you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy looked at him full of uncertainly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat, you want me to prove it again with actions?\u201d Joseph&#8217;s line of sight became dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy immediately blocked him and shook her head, \u201cDon&#8217;t you dare&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They were still in the office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;m going to have dinner with grandpa this weekend.\u201d She looked at Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;ll go with you.\u201d Joseph replied.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>BV City\uff0cthe Marshall\u2019s house.<\/p>\n<p>Bertie had recently been busy with matters at the branch office in City N, and it was already late when he returned to BV City.<\/p>\n<p>His mother, Lexie Byrne was waiting in the living room holding a newspaper, and the headline on the newspaper was exactly about Bertie and Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are back, there&#8217;s still some soup in the kitchen, you can go and drink it first.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bertie carried that bowl of soup out, his eyes saw the newspaper&#8217;s headline and a smile could be seen on his face.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It looks like you and Sue have been making good progress recently.\u201d Lexie was satisfied.<\/p>\n<p>Bertie put down the soup bowl and picked up the newspaper. Although the background was dark, seeing Kathy from the side, she looked exquisite and beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>The most important clue had come to a dead end.<\/p>\n<p>If they had asked the prisoner, they would have been able to track the culprit down.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy did not expect this case to be so complicated.<\/p>\n<p>A cup of warm water was handed to her side, and Joseph was dissatisfied, \u201cYou can&#8217;t work at home anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, I&#8217;m inefficient, so I&#8217;ll have to work longer than others.\u201d Kathy leaned on his lap and frowned.<\/p>\n<p>Nowadays, secretarial work had not been any easier than the previous clerical work she did in NCHV Medical Company. Instead, she had to be more meticulous and patient.<\/p>\n<p>And the workload seemed to have quadrupled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou only need to report to me, I&#8217;m your boss.\u201d Joseph said with a straight face.<\/p>\n<p>Letting Kathy to come work in the office was, one, to keep her from being too bored at home, and two, to have her around by his side.<\/p>\n<p>It was not really to let her share his work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoss, for such a hardworking employee like me, how about giving me some overtime pay?\u201d Kathy looked at him acting pitifully.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour salary is even higher than John&#8217;s.\u201d Joseph knocked her on the head.<\/p>\n<p>This little greedy person.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was stunned, and now that she thought about it, it seemed like she had not even asked how much her salary was when she joined the company.<\/p>\n<p>What a sloppy thing to do&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The next day, Kathy went over to the personnel department early in the morning, she had been employed for a week and the secretary position was only temporary. She did not know how Joseph arranged it.<\/p>\n<p>After asking the HR director, Kathy finally knew she was already considered regular employee of the company, and her salary&#8230;six figures&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no probationary period?\u201d Kathy blinked; this must be a dream&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMrs. Kathy, this is a direct order from President Joseph. So, you are now a permanent employee of our company.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was stunned again; she was a permanent employee?<\/p>\n<p>But if she succeeds in her research, she definitely would not need to be able work anymore.<\/p>\n<p>She than told the HR director, \u201cBut I&#8217;m just a temporary employee in the company.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-925","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/925","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=925"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
