Chapter 156 Public display of affection

The next day, the sun shone into the room lazily, Kathy turned around and realized that nobody was
lying down next to her.

Joseph was drunk when he got home last night and he treated her roughly, but she couldn't reject him.

She freshened up and walked out with a resentful expression on her face, but then she saw a man in a
suit making food in the kitchen, her anger quickly dissipated.

It was a bit chilly in the morning, Joseph turned his head as Kathy sneezed multiple times in a row
behind him, he looked a bit concerned.

Kathy was only wearing a thin pyjama, she wanted to eat breakfast before getting dressed.

Joseph made a light soup noodle dish, the broth was nicely seasoned, the chicken oil he used made it
very fragrant.

This man wasn't only super good-looking, he could cook very well too.

"Who did you drink together with last night?" Kathy had this question in her head for a while now.

She knew that it had to be some business partners, but they had a fight last night and Joseph didn't tell
her anything.

Joseph sat down next to her, he mixed the garnish on the noodle well before giving Kathy the food.

He pondered briefly, he then went into the bedroom to grab a jacket and put it on her shoulders.

"Thanks," she muttered.

"The executives of the Joseph's Group, they are my friends, " Joseph replied.



"I thought it was for business, so you had a gathering with your friends then?" Kathy looked at him
calmly.

She felt like she tried to keep track of his matters more and more recently, she would get a bit sensitive
at times.

She knew that she shouldn't, but she couldn't help it.

"Yeah, I'll bring you along to the next gathering if you're interested in coming," said Joseph
affectionately.

Kathy raised her head, she was a bit surprised.

Before this, Joseph was always so busy with his work at the hospital that she couldn't even meet him
for more than a second, not to mention social gatherings. She had never met any of his friends except
for Johnson.

From the way Joseph was phrasing it, it was as if he was trying to let her get to know his circle of
friends.

"No need, I was just worried about you last night, " Kathy shook her head.

Joseph squinted his eyes, there was a hint of anger in his eyes as he subtly raised Kathy's face.

He saw through the obvious sadness on her face.

"Mrs. Joseph, what are you afraid of?" Joseph's gaze was sharp.

Kathy stared into his deep eyes, but she never said anything.

Joseph didn't stay for breakfast and left soon after.



Kathy grimaced and ate the noodles slowly, the fullness of the broth suited her taste very well. She
realized that Joseph understood her more than she thought.

Recently he would make her food whenever he was home, and he would make all of her favourite
dishes.

A good house husband and a gentle person, what more could she have asked for?

She went to work with her head full of thoughts, she walked to work as his place was very close to the
medical company.

There was a regular meeting in the morning, Kathy was now the sales department secretary and Alexia
was the manager of the same department, Alexia was now her boss.

But they still got along with each other as usual, their relationship wasn't estranged just because they
were boss and subordinates now.

During the morning meeting, an unfamiliar man walked in and sat down in the last row. His flirtatious
gaze followed Kathy the moment she came in.

It made Kathy very uncomfortable, she had her back against him and she could feel her gaze piercing
her back the whole time.

"Kathy, who is that man? When did the NCHV Medical Company hire such a handsome guy?" Alexia
kept glancing at Lincoln, the position of the most handsome guy in the NCHV Medical Company always
belonged to Johnson.

But this man here was just as handsome as Johnson!

"I don't know, I have no idea at all," responded Kathy plainly.



"But he keeps looking at you!" Alexia pulled her sleeve, she glanced at the man again.

Johnson then requested Alexia to analyze the report, it made her flustered, she was all over the
mysterious man that she didn't know which report Johnson was asking for.

"Alexia, your report. Did you not do it? Or did someone help you do your report?" Johnson glared
sternly at her.

Alexia bit down on her lips, she wrote a mountain of reports and of course she didn't know which one
was Johnson asking for because she wasn't paying attention.

"Meeting adjourned, Alexia, you stay!" Johnson was obviously furious.

It was the first time that Johnson blew up during a meeting ever since he took over the NCHV Medical
Company, he usually had a really good temper.

Alexia hung her head low, all ashamed and she only now realized that Kathy was trying to hand her the
correct report the whole time, but she wasn't aware.

"Kathy, you should leave first, " said Alexia helplessly.

Kathy couldn't do anything, she packed her stuff and left the meeting room. A lean and slender figure
blocked her way.

It was that flirtatious man

"You're Mrs. Joseph?" Lincoln squinted at her dangerously.

Kathy was shocked, not many knew about her identity. Who could this man be?

Kathy raised her guard up and stared at him.



Lincoln raised his lips and said, "I'm Joseph's friend, the vice president of the Joseph's Group."

Kathy only then let out a sigh of relief, she smiled plainly and said, "Nice to meet you, I am Kathy."

"Why did he choose you? Your looks and your temperament are obviously lacking when compared to
Jade, and it seems like your intelligence and talent are nothing in comparison to Edith."

The smile on Kathy's face frozen, it seemed like he didn't know about the reality of the relationship
between her and Joseph.

"I'm just a normal person, just ask Joseph for the answers you are seeking for, " Kathy turned around
and left.

She knew very well that none of her qualities was a match for the people around Joseph. One day,
Joseph would find a better wife.

Lincoln rubbed his chin, this woman seemed gentle but her words were quite prickly.

He then decided to go gossip with Johnson, only to see Johnson pressing his female subordinate
against the wall.

He was just gone for a bit and he was the only bachelor left in the group?

He got frantic and left, back to the Joseph's Group! No more of this public display of affection!

Edith was back at the Joseph's Group the moment Lincoln got back.

She was entering the company as of today, as the head of the secretary.

"Hello Edith," greeted Lincoln.



Edith smiled politely, she walked with him into the president's office, but they were both halted at the
door.

John apologized to them, "The president is not seeing anybody today."

"But we are not just "anybody"!" Lincoln was not going to be stopped.

John was just doing his job, he stopped them again and said, "My apologies, Mr. Fletcher, Miss Wesley.
The president is not in a good mood right now, it would be best if both of you come back at a later
time."

John was a victim of Joseph's stormy mood for the whole morning, Joseph was usually more
scrupulous in separating public from private matters, he wouldn't let his personal interests affect his
performance at work, but it was not the case today. He seemed like a different person today.

Lincoln got even more curious, but Edith was worried, "What happened to Joseph?"

John shook his head, he wasn't in a position to gossip about his boss's personal affairs.

Lincoln knocked on the door and just stormed his way in.

A document was immediately flung at him, "John, who is responsible for this report? It's not
comprehensible at all! Call this person here immediately!"

Luckily, Lincoln had good reflex and he steadily caught the document, he walked towards Joseph and
said, "Damn, why are you so mad?"
