“Tsk tsk, you are far from the Mrs. Joseph I had imagined.” Lincoln looked away.
“Oh? Then how do you think that Mrs. Joseph should be?” Kathy asked.
She also wanted to know how Joseph’s friends think of her.
Lincoln rubbed his chin and pointed to the bar counter outside the full-length window. Over there,
Joseph was in discussion with a senior manager and Edith was pouring wine for the two of them and
said something occasionally. She was gentle and well-behaved.
She stood beside Joseph. They looked like a heaven-made match.
Kathy laughed, “In terms of beauty or capability, Edith is far better than me.”
“It’s good that you are aware of your limitations, but I think of it this way. Joseph is naturally talented
and intelligent. He was admitted to Harvard at sixteen, at twenty he received the Master’s degree for
Neurosurgery and completed numerous complex surgeries. In our eyes, he is unmatched. Perhaps he
needs to find a balance.”
Kathy frowned and didn’t quite understand.
“You are the type that he seldom interacts with and that’s why he is interested in you. In his twenty
eight years, the women in Joseph’s life were all beautiful and intelligent. He may be tired of those.”
Kathy was speechless.
Was he trying to insult her?
At least she has a decent figure, delicate cheeks, but perhaps there was room for improvement in the
area of intelligence.
She only felt that the only thing that she can’t compare with was family background.
But this has never caused her to feel inferior.
She made a mistake with Peter and she doesn’t want to fall into another pit.
“Mr. Fletcher, thanks for your analysis. I think I gained some more insights into Joseph.” Kathy tilted her
head and her eyes sparkled.
Lincoln squinted and Kathy was quiet and gentle. She dresses very simply but if she was to stand in a
crowd of well-dressed people, she will stand out as innocent and elegant.
He quickly looked away and smirked.
When she saw Kathy walking over, Alexia’s eyes lit up, and walked over.
“Kathy, I was so worried!”
“What did you worry about?” Kathy laughed.
“I’m worried that someone is seducing Joseph! You don’t know that woman. Look at her evening gown,
the entire back is exposed. Additionally, the breasts were so exposed, isn’t this seduction!” Alexia said
angrily.
Kathy didn’t take notice and when she looked over, Edith’s skin was very fair and her long hair was
slightly curled. Part of it was over her chest and revealing the other side. Her elegance and sexiness
were unmatched.
As if she could feel Kathy’s stare, Edith looked over and the two women exchanged looks.
Kathy smiled gently and turned back.
She could ignore Edith but not the commanding presence of the man beside her.
It was like her gaze was fixated to that ridiculously handsome man. They were a distance apart but
under the warm lighting, he was still so attractive.
The black business suit and two long straight pencil-like legs, neat and clean, and an expensive
tailored shirt.
Just standing quietly he will still attract all the attention.
Nobel and proud, handsome and cold, from top to bottom he was high and mighty, unmatched by his
commanding presence.
With Edith beside him, nothing was out of place. She wore a pure white evening gown with exquisite
makeup. She looked extremely elegant. She’s a rare few who can be paired with Joseph.
Except that Joseph kept frowning and didn’t answer Edith’s occasional input. He sipped the wine
calmly and they can’t figure out his mood.
It was obvious that Edith was familiar with such situations. Occasionally she will look warmly at Joseph
with a bright smile.
Kathy’s tightened up her grip on the wine glass
At this moment, someone who she saw earlier showed up beside her. Billy handed her a cocktail and
he looked outside at the two of them and said sarcastically, “Who could imagine that the woman beside
Director Joseph isn’t Mrs. Joseph, aren’t you fooling yourself?”
Kathy frowned and didn’t take over Billy’s cocktail, “Hasn’t the Hilton Group and the Joseph group
competitors? You came here, aren’t you also fooling yourself?”
“In some instances, I and the Joseph group also can stand on the same side. There aren’t perpetual
enemies in the business world.” Billy said.
Kathy didn’t want to pay attention to him and neither the two of them over there. While Alexia was with
Johnson and their relationship improved considerably after what happened previously.
Billy continued to whisper into her ear, “The Joseph group had been rather low key after it moved to
City N. Why do you think that it has been getting exposed repeatedly in the social media recently?
Furthermore, Edith is now working at the Joseph group. She actually gave up her title as the Leading
Doctor at First Hospital for the sake of Joseph. Now Joseph has taken her under his wings and takes
her to all sorts of events, the relationship between them isn’t ordinary.”
“Edith’s beauty and abilities can’t be faulted. The men in your social like this type of woman, right?”
Kathy asked.
Her expression was calm as if she didn’t care for the answer.
Billy frowned and stared at Kathy’s indifference. Her calmness from the beginning of the conversation
until now surprised him.
“Not me. The person I like doesn’t even care about me.” Billy hinted.
Kathy was calm as usual, she saw that Joseph moved closer to her but his back was towards Kathy
and hasn’t seen her.
“Don’t you intend to say something to him?” Billy squinted.
Kathy’s face was slightly pale. She lifts up the champagne and with a sip her anger diminished
significantly.
She said deeply, “Not interested, furthermore, Joseph doesn’t lack a female partner.”
“Then will you be my female partner?” Billy moved closer and looked intently at Kathy.
She didn’t put on makeup, was simply dressed, and not fashionable. Yet he inexplicably can’t take his
eyes off her.
Kathy sarcastically smirked, “Coming here, everybody must think that I’m a waiter, Billy, is there
something wrong with your eyes?”
She didn’t wear an evening gown, didn’t do up her hair, and didn’t makeup. When she stands beside
the dashing Billy, she received numerous envious glares.
“I’m certain of my eyes.”
“Your partner should be your fiancée,” Kathy said and walked into the crowd.
She didn’t want to have any more to do with Billy.
He squinted and followed Kathy. She didn’t know the guests of the banquet but the Hilton Group had
been distinguished and eminent in City N. Once he entered someone will walk up to talk to him.
He grabbed Kathy to his side, “Be good, don’t run away.”
He said so softly as if he was cooing to his beloved woman.
Was this man out of his mind?
Kathy wanted to push him away but her strength was no match for his. She could only stay and listen
to him talk to the guests about the latest business situation and trends.
