My Sweetheart
Chapter 61 Growing Infatuation

"Yes, I was lying to you, I did it purposely to you, because you are a woman who can't tell the right from wrong and talk nonsense." 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.

"You stop right there! How dare you insult me? I'm your superior, don't you want to stay at NISIX anymore?" The woman squinted at her indignantly.

Kathy frowned, although her position was low in the company, that didn't mean that she could be abused by anyone.

"I'm alright if you want to make a big fuss over this." Kathy said with a flat tone while pointing towards the camera at the corner, "Who's the one that started this, there's plenty of evidence."

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, "Joanne went too far on you. Guess what? She had been into Johnson for a long time but Johnson didn't give a damn about her."

"No way, I'm going to report her." Alexia was exasperated, but Kathy remained calm as usual.

"If you want to report her, you might as well let her make a fool of herself in front of Johnson." 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 Herbert's 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 didn't expect to be promoted.

"It must be Johnson's idea. He found out your hidden potential," said Alexia.

"Perhaps he saw my potential of injuring myself." 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. "Just give him a call if you want." Alexia leaned on her.

"No way." 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, Peter' gaze was directed towards Kathy while holding his glass when Kathy came in the bar.

Things he'd 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 couldn't forget about Kathy.

However, he just couldn't destroy what he had gotten so far which he had already put so much effort on.

He called Herbert and spoke gently, "Herbert, please listen my explanation, I didn't cheat on you."

"You went to replace Kathy, didn't you?"

"Yes, I did, but I didn't do anything overboard."

"Peter, if I ask you to hurt Kathy, will you do as I say?" Herbert asked.

Peter was stunned, he involuntarily looked towards Kathy who was nearby, he was attracted by Kathy's charm even she was just standing there quietly.

He forced himself to withdraw his gaze and took a deep breath, "I'm willing to do anything for your sake."

"It's too late, Peter. Let's break up"

Peter's face turned long when the phone changed to busy tone. He couldn't remain sane after guzzling a few bottles of beer, he stumbled towards Kathy. "Kathy." A familiar voice was heard.

Kathy was brought into a booze-filled embrace when she turned around.

"Peter...Let go!" Kathy was struggling to release from him restraint.

Peter's grip grew tighter and tighter, Kathy was trapped inside the balcony by a push, with nowhere to escape.

Alexia went to the restroom, Kathy's phone was in her bag. Her eyebrows knitted, staring at the drunken man, she gave him a brutal slap. "Peter, that's enough!" Kathy shouted.

Peter paused, sobering up quite a bit, looking at Kathy's angry expression, he laughed out, "It's not enough, Kathy, it'll never be enough." "You're crazy!" Kathy turned away.

"Yes, I'm crazy. I realized that...I'm still crazily in love with you." He cupped her face, the passion within his eyes grew stronger and stronger.

"I don't like you anymore, Peter, let go!" Kathy still struggled to push him away.

Peter's eyes narrowed, he grab on Kathy's shoulder, and hugged her tightly.

"No, Kathy, I've nothing left but you..."

As soon as his words come out, his shoulder was suddenly tugged, and he fell on the ground.

When he turned around, Joseph's 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.

"Who're you?" Peter was drunk, he couldn't recognize the man in front of him.

Joseph' face was cold, he didn't even bother to look at Peter, he grabbed Kathy's wrist and brought her out.

Kathy was still in fear, she was frightened by Peter's fierce and aggressive action just now.

"It's over, my wife." Joseph stopped when they walked out of the entrance, gazing deeply at Kathy with gentle care.

"Why're you here?" Kathy spoke softly. Then only she noticed that Joseph was holding her hand all this time. His hand was warm and safe.

"Didn't you send me a message?" Joseph was here to pick her up.

"Why didn't you give me a call?" Kathy frowned and acted a little cute.

"I was speeding," Joseph smirked.

While sitting in the car for some time, he didn't start the engine, his scorching eyes were gazing at Kathy.

Kathy's eyes met his gaze and she squeezed her fingers anxiously.

"What should I do? I'm mad." Joseph's arm crossed over her head, Kathy then leaned into his arm, but this was still not enough to calm him down.

Joseph's heart was racing, Kathy could feel every single heartbeat of him.

"He's drunk." Kathy frowned.

"He deserved to die." Joseph's 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 Kathy's eyes, he was afraid that he couldn't 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.

"Young Master, all the information about Peter had been sent to you."

"Send someone to keep an eye on him. Don't let him get close to Madam."

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.

"Why does it smell like cigarettes?" Kathy smelled it as soon as she came in, and frowned.

She had never seen Joseph smoked before.

"It's nothing, go back and rest." Joseph dropped his eyes, forcing himself to withdraw his gaze and divert his attention to the documents.

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Kathy looking at him with her black eyes blinking.

"I've something to take care of tonight, I'll be with you later."

Kathy bit her lips. She didn't know since when she had got used to Joseph being around her.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
