Anyway you\u2019re a family member, Mrs. Joseph, so it doesn\u2019t matter.\u201d The HR manager joked.<\/p>\n<p>But Kathy doesn\u2019t want it to be done in this manner\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Wouldn\u2019t that mean that Joseph opened the \u2018back door\u2019 for her?<\/p>\n<p>And that was a huge back door!<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was still very perturbed when she went back to her office at the top level and didn\u2019t even notice that John walked over to her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMrs. \u2026 Secretary Kathy?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>John wasn\u2019t used to the different ways of addressing Kathy on different occasions\u2026<\/p>\n<p>She was secretary Kathy during working hours and Mrs. Joseph after work.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Joseph really knew how to enjoy himself!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAssistant John.\u201d Kathy came to her senses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSoon there will be a high-level meeting. You should go in to see what Mr. Joseph needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy nodded and went into the office.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy looked uneasily at Joseph when she thought about what she found out at the HR department.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow come I became a regular staff here?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph looked up when he heard, \u201cNot satisfied?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, I\u2019m just here to help out. Isn\u2019t this inappropriate?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReally? I didn\u2019t think so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy, \u201c\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She needed to put in more effort otherwise she wouldn\u2019t feel right\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoseph, assign me more work to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He looked at her and raised his eyebrows, \u201cYou want a raise?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy immediately waved her hand. Her current salary was even higher than John\u2019s and she shouldn\u2019t expect it to go any higher.<\/p>\n<p>Although it was always great to get paid more.<\/p>\n<p>But Joseph would be showing too much favoritism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo need for a raise, just give me an extra chicken leg!\u201d Kathy laughed.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph squinted and signaled for her to go over, \u201cCome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy stood a meter from him and he was not satisfied with this.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat?\u201d Kathy was surprised.<\/p>\n<p>She stood still.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph\u2019s expression darkened, \u201cCome over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy stepped forward and Joseph immediately grabbed her into his embrace.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy\u2019s eyes were wide open in surprise.<\/p>\n<p>John was just outside! He could come in at any moment!<\/p>\n<p>He could see her anxiety and Joseph grinned, \u201cSacred?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoseph, this is the office\u2026\u201d Kathy frowned and kept trying to push him away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t move. I just want to hug you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, He won\u2019t do anything else.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was shy even when the lights were turned off and now this was absolutely out of her comfort zone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe meeting is starting soon.\u201d Kathy reminded him.<\/p>\n<p>At this moment, John started to knock on the door.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy\u2019s expression changed and used her strength to push Joseph away but his hands were still on her buttocks.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy\u2019s face blushed red and looked at Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>He was getting increasingly daring\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat are you waiting for, secretary Kathy?<\/p>\n<p>Joseph was calm and composed as he stood up. He saw Kathy\u2019s blushed face and grinned even more.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy, \u201c\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>On weekend.<\/p>\n<p>The car drove slowly towards the Booth family&#8217;s ancient castle by the hillside.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was feeling very uneasy for the entire journey. Although Joseph held onto her hand, it continued to sweat.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph was calm and looked at Zack nonchalantly, \u201cIt was love at first sight with Kathy. The marriage wasn\u2019t an impulse because when I saw her, I decided that only she can be my wife.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy looked at him in surprise and her heartbeat raced. What Joseph said was a huge deal to her.<\/p>\n<p>Although she knew that what he was saying now was for the sake of her grandfather.<\/p>\n<p>But she still wanted to believe it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis granddaughter of mine had always been away from me. Now that she is one of the Booth family and her status is extraordinary. Since you like her, why didn\u2019t you hold a wedding ceremony?\u201d Zack said coldly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrandfather, I was the one who didn\u2019t want a wedding ceremony,\u201d Kathy said.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, no one mentioned this. Joseph and she didn\u2019t really get married so a wedding ceremony was meaningless.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow that you are by my side, how can I let you be mistreated? Grandfather wants everyone to know that you are a member of the Booth family. In the future, if this man mistreats you, the booth family will not let him off!\u201d Zack proclaimed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrandfather, rest assured that I will not bully Kathy,\u201d Joseph said sincerely.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrandfather, we\u2019ve been married for so long already. There is no need for a wedding ceremony.\u201d Kathy could understand her grandfather\u2019s intentions, in fact \u2026 how could she not wish for a wedding ceremony?<\/p>\n<p>But she was contented with the current situation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKathy, since this is grandfather\u2019s wishes, how about we satisfy him?\u201d Joseph held onto her petite hand and said affectionately.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was moved by his attitude.<\/p>\n<p>But, can it be done?<\/p>\n<p>Zack had already summoned for the caretaker to enter, \u201cContact the wedding organizers, my granddaughter wants to hold a wedding ceremony!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was still stunned. It wasn\u2019t until she left the castle that she believed that all these were real.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph\u2019s tender and warm voice whispered into her ear, \u201cMrs. Joseph, I\u2019ve already ordered your wedding gown. I\u2019ve waited a long time for this day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was shocked, already ordered?<\/p>\n<p>She always thought that there wouldn\u2019t be a wedding ceremony with Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow could this be, Joseph, are you serious?\u201d She asked in disbelief.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDidn\u2019t I make myself clear just now?\u201d Joseph patted her head.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy grabbed onto his arm and her head was still in a daze. How could Joseph have ordered the wedding gown\u2026<\/p>\n<p>That was meant for Mrs. Joseph\u2026<\/p>\n<p>So, it must not have been ordered for her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-926","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/926","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=926"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
