âYes, I was lying to you, I did it purposely to you, because you are a woman who canât tell the right from wrong and talk nonsense.â She turned around and walked away with a pun.
The woman was irritated by her words, she ran towards Kathy to give her a quick kick, but it was dodged by Kathy.
âYou stop right there! How dare you insult me? Iâm your superior, donât you want to stay at NISIX anymore?â The woman squinted at her indignantly.
Kathy frowned, although her position was low in the company, that didnât mean that she could be abused by anyone.
âIâm alright if you want to make a big fuss over this.â Kathy said with a flat tone while pointing towards the camera at the corner, âWhoâs the one that started this, thereâs plenty of evidence.â
The woman knew that she was at disadvantage, her anger tamed down, she secretly held a grudge towards Kathy since then.
Alexia heard about what happened in the pantry and came over to comfort Kathy, âJoanne went too far on you. Guess what? She had been into Johnson for a long time but Johnson didnât give a damn about her.â
âNo way, Iâm going to report her.â Alexia was exasperated, but Kathy remained calm as usual.
âIf you want to report her, you might as well let her make a fool of herself in front of Johnson.â Kathy said in a calm voice.
Alexia was suddenly clicked by her words. Kathy this girl was unexpectedly smart and cunning.
Due to the temporary interruption of the R&D projects with the Herbertâs Group, Kathy was transferred to clerical position but she was promoted two ranking higher than her previous position. She was dragged to celebrate for her promotion by Alexia.
Kathy was baffled by her promotion.
After all, she had injured herself during the business trip, already causing troubles to the company, she didnât expect to be promoted.
âIt must be Johnsonâs idea. He found out your hidden potential,â said Alexia.
âPerhaps he saw my potential of injuring myself.â Kathy replied sarcastically.
After choosing a quiet dining bar, the two of them dined at the terrace. The bar was lively as it was night time.
Kathy looked at her phone from time to time, she remembered that Joseph had a surgery tonight, she was wondering whether it had over.
âJust give him a call if you want.â Alexia leaned on her.
âNo way.â Kathy was a little proud.
But she still sent him a message to tell him that she was at the bar with Alexia.
At that moment, on the other side of the terrace, Peterâ gaze was directed towards Kathy while holding his glass when Kathy came in the bar.
Things heâd been through for the last few says caused his emotion to fluctuate like riding on a roller coaster, interchanging between the highest spot to the lowest spot without pausing.
He had profoundly understood one thing during that period.
He really couldnât forget about Kathy.
However, he just couldnât destroy what he had gotten so far which he had already put so much effort on.
He called Herbert and spoke gently, âHerbert, please listen my explanation, I didnât cheat on you.â
âYou went to find Kathy, didnât you?â
âYes, I did, but I didnât do anything overboard.â
âPeter, if I ask you to hurt Kathy, will you do as I say?â Herbert asked.
Peter was stunned, he involuntarily looked towards Kathy who was nearby, he was attracted by Kathyâs charm even she was just standing there quietly.
He forced himself to withdraw his gaze and took a deep breath, âIâm willing to do anything for your sake.â
âItâs too late, Peter. Letâs break upâ
Peterâs face turned long when the phone changed to busy tone. He couldnât remain sane after guzzling a few bottles of beer, he stumbled towards Kathy.
âKathy.â A familiar voice was heard.
Kathy was brought into a booze-filled embrace when she turned around.
âPeter...Let go!â Kathy was struggling to release from him restraint.
Peterâs grip grew tighter and tighter, Kathy was trapped inside the balcony by a push, with nowhere to escape.
Alexia went to the restroom, Kathyâs phone was in her bag. Her eyebrows knitted, staring at the drunken man, she gave him a brutal slap.
âPeter, thatâs enough!â Kathy shouted.
Peter paused, sobering up quite a bit, looking at Kathyâs angry expression, he laughed out, â Itâs not enough, Kathy, itâll never be enough.â
âYouâre crazy!â Kathy turned away.
âYes, Iâm crazy. I realized that...Iâm still crazily in love with you.â He cupped her face, the passion within his eyes grew stronger and stronger.
âI donât like you anymore, Peter, let go!â Kathy still struggled to push him away.
Peterâs eyes narrowed, he grab on Kathyâs shoulder, and hugged her tightly.
âNo, Kathy, Iâve nothing left but you...â
As soon as his words come out, his shoulder was suddenly tugged, and he fell on the ground.
When he turned around, Josephâs raging face appeared in front of him, followed by a hit of fierce punch, Peter then wretchedly lied on the ground.
Looking at her saviour, Kathy almost ran into his arms.
âWhoâre you?â Peter was drunk, he couldnât recognize the man in front of him.
Josephâ face was cold, he didnât even bother to look at Peter, he grabbed Kathyâs wrist and brought her out.
Kathy was still in fear, she was frightened by Peterâs fierce and aggressive action just now.
âItâs over, my wife.â Joseph stopped when they walked out of the entrance, gazing deeply at Kathy with gentle care.
âWhyâre you here?â Kathy spoke softly. Then only she noticed that Joseph was holding her hand all this time.
His hand was warm and safe.
âDidnât you send me a message?â Joseph was here to pick her up.
âWhy didnât you give me a call?â Kathy frowned and acted a little cute.
âI was speeding,â Joseph smirked.
While sitting in the car for some time, he didnât start the engine, his scorching eyes were gazing at Kathy.
Kathyâs eyes met his gaze and she squeezed her fingers anxiously.
âWhat should I do? Iâm mad.â Josephâs arm crossed over her head, Kathy then leaned into his arm, but this was still not enough to calm him down.
Josephâs heart was racing, Kathy could feel every single heartbeat of him.
âHeâs drunk.â Kathy frowned.
âHe deserved to die.â Josephâs tone was dark and cold.
Kathy trembled, she knew that Joseph would get angry, but she had never seen his expression like this.
His face was deep and hollow as if his coldness could pierce through even the iciest of shells.
She was afraid, subconsciously evading him.
Joseph closed Kathyâs eyes, he was afraid that he couldnât hold back, but he must suppress in front of Kathy.
Back to the old mansion, Joseph was sitting in the study room, holding cigarettes with his slender fingertips.
He seldom smoked, but tonight only cigarettes could keep him awake.
His picked up his ringing phone.
âYoung Master, all the information about Peter had been sent to you.â
âSend someone to keep an eye on him. Donât let him get close to Madam.â
After a while, Kathy noticed that Joseph was not yet back to their bedroom, she knocked and entered the study. She had just done bathing, wearing a pure white pyjamas, showing parts of her calves. Her skin was crystal clear, her silky long hair was eye-catching.
Joseph raised his eyes, the warmness within his eyes gradually gained back.
âWhy does it smell like cigarettes?â Kathy smelled it as soon as she came in, and frowned.

She had never seen Joseph smoked before.
âItâs nothing, go back and rest.â Joseph dropped his eyes, forcing himself to withdraw his gaze and divert his attention to the documents.
âArenât you going to sleep?â Kathy looking at him with her black eyes blinking.
âIâve something to take care of tonight, Iâll be with you later.â
Kathy bit her lips. She didnât know since when she had got used to Joseph being around her.
