My Sweetheart

Chapter 166 You're My Companion Tonight

Joseph's face darkened, he made a signal and two bodyguards quickly came over, "I can't do that, don't worry, they will protect you."

Joseph turned around and walked away briskly.

Edith stared at his cold figure and clenched her first, there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.

Kathy was going through a rollercoaster ride of emotions, her agitation only dissipated when Joseph left after pushing Edith's hand away.

She smiled but unconsciously thought, "Miss Edith still relies on Joseph a lot."

Otherwise, she wouldn't be holding on him for so long just now.

But then she felt a bit upset.

Edith and Joseph met up late at night, it couldn't be to discuss some business matter.

She then walked towards the entrance and tried to hail a cab. Suddenly, she noticed Joseph standing right next to his black Maybach, his hands in his pockets, his eyes squinted staring straight at her.

He looked like he was waiting for someone…

Was he waiting for her?

Kathy grimaced as Joseph walked towards her.

"Why did you wait for me?" Kathy was still mad, she stepped away from him.

But Joseph managed to scoop her into his embrace with his long arms.

He pressed his head on her forehead, his voice deep and sultry, "You can see the whole lobby with that window over there."

Joseph pointed at a French window on the west side of the hotel.

Kathy looked at where he was pointing and realized that it was true, but that would mean that he knew that she was hiding behind the pillar from the start.

She hung her head low out of embarrassment, she didn't hide on purpose.

She then raised her head, she justly and forcefully questioned him, "So you went out in the middle of the night to comfort Edith?"

Joseph frowned, he placed his palms on her slightly cold cheeks, "Edith was pestered by her uncle, I wasn't comforting her, I was just sending her home."

"I see," Kathy answered plainly.

"Get the driver to drive you next time, don't take a cab," said Joseph, his voice velvety.

Kathy bit her lips, she didn't ask the driver because she didn't want to bother him so late at night.

Kathy had more freedom ever since she moved to Joseph Bay, no drivers constantly waiting for her, she liked it more this way.

Not to mention she was planning to buy herself a car, it would be much more convenient. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Joseph's face darkened seeing Kathy ignoring what he said, he held her chin and she made a sad expression.

"Are you still mad?"

"Am I?"

"Yes, Mrs. Johnson, you are jealous," said Joseph firmly.

Kathy pursed her lips, she pushed him away and said sourly, "I am jealous, you were so intimate with Edith just now."

"Yes, I admit that," Joseph didn't deny.

Kathy was sullen, she turned around and left.

How should she communicate properly with this man?

Joseph smiled shrewdly, he then again pulled Kathy into his arms, Kathy was flapping around mid-air.

The driver opened the door, Kathy stared at Joseph furiously as he squeezed her into the car.

"Edith is technically my sister, I cannot leave her alone, but I'll maintain my distance," Joseph explained himself.

Kathy was puzzled, his sister?

They didn't share the same surname, was Edith adopted?

"But, she seemed to like you, not as a brother."

She had a gut feeling that Edith was into Joseph, they weren't biologically related and Edith always tried to get closer to Joseph.

"I can send her away if Mrs. Joseph wants me to."

Kathy shook her head, she didn't want to be so extreme.

"Well, I'm fine as long as you treat her as your sister. This is your personal matter and I shouldn't meddle with it," Kathy then turned her head and looked out the window.

She said she was fine but she was still annoyed at them hugging each other just now.

Kathy, wake up!

"You sure you're fine?" Joseph squinted, he was discontent with her answer.

"I don't care," answered Kathy stubbornly.

"Remember what you said, Mrs. Joseph," said Joseph profoundly.

The next day at the NCHV Medical Company, Alexia wasn't there as she took the day off. Kathy still shivered at the thought of what happened last night.

She couldn't have rescued Alexia in time if it wasn't for Johnson.

To her surprise, Johnson also took the day off. Kathy texted Alexia to ask how she was doing.

But Alexia never replied to her.

Kathy started to worry, she called her during her break at noon.

"Kathy, sorry I just woke up," Alexia stretched lazily, the sun shimmered gently on her as she gazed lovingly at the man beside her.

"Am I disturbing your time together with Mr. Johnson?"

"No, he…" Alexia sounded embarrassed but blissful.

Kathy quickly understood, "I was just worried about you, you should go back to sleep, you probably didn't get much sleep last night."

Alexia chuckled, "Erm, yeah, we slept "early" last night. Kathy, you know everything now…"

Kathy was speechless.

"Oh yeah, we are going on a business trip tomorrow to City B, can you prepare the documents for our new product MT Medicine? We need to discuss with the distributors."

"Sure, now then, I'll stop bothering you Mrs. Johnson," said Kathy jokingly.

"Don't be mean!"

Kathy wasn't laughing anymore after she put down the phone, she opened the search page and typed in "Johnson".

There was a lot of information on the internet about Johnson. He graduated from Havard with a master of finance, a few years later he yielded enormous profits for pharmaceutical companies overseas, he was a very competent manager.

There were also some scandals about him and some sexy, flirtatious and gorgeous supermodels.

She closed the webpage, she was worried but after seeing Johnson last night, she thought that maybe he was serious about Alexia.

She stopped letting her thoughts run wild and continued with her work. During the afternoon she received a call from Joseph, he wanted her to attend the Joseph's Group appreciation dinner with him.

Kathy looked at her pile of work. Alexia wasn't here today and she had a business trip tomorrow. There was no doubt that she had to work overtime today.

And she never liked attending those events, she also didn't want to attract so much attention by being Joseph's companion, and hence she rejected his request.

At the Joseph's Group office building.

Edith knocked on the door and walked into the president's office.

"Mr. Joseph, here are some documents on the new stimulant we are working on, please have a look."

Joseph took the documents from her, Lincoln waltzed in before he could look at them.

"Joseph, have you told your wife about the dinner tonight?"

Edith's face turned sullen, she glanced at Joseph.

"She is not free," answered Joseph coldly.

"What? But I've already told the employees in the Joseph's Group that they could finally see Mrs. Joseph in person!" yelled Lincoln disappointedly.

"Does Mrs. Joseph not want to show her face?" asked Edith.

"She never liked events like this, it's her choice," Joseph said lovingly.

"But she is your wife, you cannot hide her forever," said Lincoln as he rubbed his chin, he encountered Kathy once and thought that she was a cold person.

Joseph raised his head and looked at Edith, he smiled slyly and said, "Edith, how about you be my companion tonight?"
