“A good show?” Kathy seemed to be interested, “What will that be?”
“Just come with me next week,” Joseph replied and pat her head gently.
Kathy leaned over to him.
“Good girl,” he kissed her forehead.
She was shy from his pampering, but she loved it too.
Now that Joseph has officially resigned from the People’s Hospital, he stayed home most of the time.
John would come over to his home office to talk to him, and sometimes the conversation would last
until midnight.
Kathy continued to work at NCHV, and Joseph gave her a ride to work and home every day. Though
she got off several blocks from where she worked, she was afraid that Joseph was always going out of
his way to help her.
“Joseph, you don’t have to drive me. Just let your driver do it,” Kathy finally asked.
“Am I annoying you, Ma’am?” He sounded sullen.
“Absolutely not. I just don’t feel like bothering you,” she answered and walked in his car.
“I want you to bother me. If you don’t need me, that’s when I get upset,” said Joseph. His beautiful face
and deep voice got closer to her.
Her cheeks turned red. He turned her face towards him. Now her scarlet cheeks laid in his vision.
His phone started ringing, and the atmosphere was now broken.
She pushed him away, but his arms surrounded her right away.
“Go to the Joseph’s Group,” he ordered after the phone-call.
She frowned and said, “Well then I’ll go home by myself.”
She was going to leave the car, but Joseph stopped her and said, “I have an emergency to deal with,
so just wait for me there, alright?”
Kathy could not say no.
It became harder and harder for her to reject Joseph’s words.
Half an hour later, the car stopped at the bottom of a skyscraper.
It was not the first time that Kathy passed by this massive building, but she never knew it was the
Joseph’s Group.
It located in the center of the central business district and was surrounded by a semi-open garden.
Joseph held Kathy’s hand and led her into the building. Face recognition was required at every door, so
she followed Joseph all the way to the top floor.
She was shocked and impressed by the design, simple but exquisite. Everything was white in the
building and had a sense of modernity.
Strolling around in this building, she felt privileged.
John and several executives came into the office. The system of the Group was just attacked by
hackers, still waiting to be fixed.
If the system didn’t get reconstructed soon, the company’s data might be embezzled.
Kathy sat quietly on the couch, watching the man who was crowded by his subordinates. He was
wearing a casual shirt, but he was a standout among these men in formal suits.
He was in charge of everything at work too.
A melancholy feeling drifted into her: she felt that Joseph and her were people from two separate
worlds.
It was getting dark outside, everyone left the office except for Joseph and Kathy. Under the starry night,
he sat in front of the computer, and he looked extremely charming when he was absorbed in his work.
All the sudden a ringtone broke the silence, and he picked up the phone.
“Hi Grandpa.”
“Hi Joseph, I’m coming back next month. Now that you took over the Group, it is time to tell the public
your true identity.”
