"Thank you." Kathy said in a low voice.
"OK." Joseph still looked indifferent.
Kathy did not say anything else and followed him back into the room quietly.
The butler had gotten things neatly and he handed a trench coat to Joseph, "The car is ready."
Joseph nodded. When walking to the door, he suddenly realized something. He turned around and
noticed Kathy still stood there. Joseph said, "Why don’t you come?"
"Where are we heading for?"
"You don't bother to know that." The man's eyes darkened.
Kathy bit her lips and the butler said, "Ms Kathy, your luggage is packed as well."
Kathy nodded, followed Joseph out and sat on the back seat of the car.
Kathy huddled in a corner and looked out of the window. The passing volcanic ash clouds were such a
rare scene and some people were holding their cameras, ready to capture this moment.
She suddenly admired these people for their simple happiness.
"Are you cold?"
Kathy was stunned when she suddenly heard Joseph's words. She shook her head and said, "No, I'm
not."
Noticing Kathy's frightened look, Joseph said gently, "I won't bite you."
Kathy forced a smile and turned to him.
Joseph had concentrated on checking the tablet in his hand.
At this time, Kathy felt relaxed slightly. The countryside scenery outside the window flew by. Kathy blew
on the window glass, and then drew something with her fingernail.
It was just to kill time, but she really enjoyed it.
The car drove into a tunnel when it was dark. Two rows of lights on the wall in the tunnel looked like
winding fire dragons. Kathy had just cleaned the window glass. As soon as raising her head, she saw a
reflection from the window glass that the handsome man was looking at her thoughtfully.
She was stunned and turned to him involuntarily, and Joseph had closed his eyes to take a rest then.
His collar was loosened. The look on his face was neither tight nor sharp, but was rather gentle and
elegant.
Kathy suddenly smiled. It must be an illusion. This man definitely wouldn't look at her attentively again.
They had broken up.
It was him who told her this fact word by word.
The car went on smoothly. No one knew when they would arrive at their destination. Kathy closed her
eyes, curled up and fell asleep.
Joseph's body was suddenly straight and rigid as a fragrant aura approached him.
He couldn't help turning to the woman by his side.
She might be tired after amusing herself like that just now, and finally fell asleep.
Kathy's cheeks were slightly ruddy, and her mouth curled up slightly as if she would drool at any
moment. She was so cute.
Kathy suddenly woke up because of an abrupt stop and inertia drove her towards Joseph's shoulder.
She immediately scooched away and muttered, "Sorry."
Joseph gave her his trench coat without raising his head, "You can't have a fever now. Put it on."
Kathy took his trench coat and put it on without saying a word, not even asking the reason.
Joseph might not bother to take care of her.
Fortunately, Kathy didn't have a fever during the journey. The car was pulled over. Kathy got out of the
car after Joseph without asking where this place was.
She only saw a country villa with lights on, and its surroundings were quiet and dark.
It was late at night.
After a long journey, Joseph was no longer tired when he talked to John in the living room.
He noticed that Kathy was being ushered to a guest room on the second floor. She staggered slightly
as if she had not slept well, or perhaps her cold got worse.
Joseph turned his head indifferently and his hands still in his pockets. John was still reporting, "...
They're all here. We can start tomorrow on time, but Miss Marshall hasn't shown up yet."
"Well, I know that." Joseph's look did not have any changes. "Let's start tomorrow on time."
The butler led Kathy to a guest room. Kathy fell asleep after drank a large glass of water.
Kathy had a dream. In her dream, someone pressed his hand on her forehead. She opened her eyes in
a daze. It looked as a tall figure standing beside her.
Kathy did not turn around or not even dare to move.
However, that person did not leave immediately. Instead, he bent down and held Kathy into his arms
slowly. It was warm and nice.
Kathy was confused when she woke up next morning.
The hug appeared in her dream was just an illusion as she embraced herself tightly.
Kathy got up and opened curtains. A large forest was at outside and it looked in a dimmed green as it
was cloudy day.
After washing up, Kathy changed her clothes before went downstairs.
But she only saw the butler whom was scrutinizing the cleanliness of the dining hall.
"Good morning, Ms Kathy." The butler straightened his body and greeted her with a smile, "Have you
watched the news?"
Kathy shook her head.
"Most of airports have not opened yet. Don't worry, you will back home immediately after everything is
arranged." Kathy nodded gratefully.
"You can go for a walk in the forest after having your breakfast. But do not go too far." The butler
reminded.
"Where's Mr Joseph?" Kathy took the milk and asked hesitatingly.
"There's a medical conference these days. Mr Joseph has left in the early morning."
After finishing her breakfast and watching news, Kathy decided to go out.
Many houses could be seen in this small valley. Each of them was apart from others, but it also could
see them from a distance.
Bushes grew randomly on both sides of paths. Kathy stopped to pick a string of red beans.
"Oh, it looks nice, but it's poisonous!"
Kathy heard a familiar voice.
She turned around and noticed that Jaydon Young stood not far from her.
"Mr Young?" Kathy was stunned, "Why are you here?"
"I was ushered in by a witch." He said seriously, "What about you?"
"I..." Kathy noticed that Jaydon did not dress in casual clothes as usual. Instead, he wore a well-tailored
suit and even carefully wore a tie in same color. Two people who seemed to be his assistants stood by
his side. Kathy suddenly asked.
"Do you work for the Joseph Group?"
Jaydon scratched his hair and paused for a moment. Before he spoke, someone walked from another
path said indifferently, "Well, do you know each other?"
Joseph got up to the crowd and watched them amusingly.
"She's my fiancée." Jaydon said happily.
As soon as he finished his words, Kathy's face turned ashen. What nonsense Jaydon talked about!
Moreover, he said so in front of Joseph!
