The Joseph’s Group.
Joseph left the office. Outside, Edith had not left.
Seeing Joseph come out, she greeted, "Mr Joseph, it's raining heavily outside. Do you want to wait for the rain to stop before you leave? I just ordered supper for you."
The voice trailed off as the receptionist had already brought in the takeaway box.
Joseph stopped walking, his eyes stared at his watch and shook his head, "No, I'm going home, you should go home early too."
The disappointment in Edith's eyes flickered away. A while later, she spoke again in a low voice, "I don't have an umbrella today, and I'm not driving. I'm afraid it's not good to go back."
"I'll send you back first," Joseph said in a deep voice.
Edith quickly followed, only to be rejected by Joseph as she subconsciously got into the passenger seat.
"This is Mrs Joseph's seat."
"Joseph, you're really getting making things awkward for me now." Edith couldn't help but sound angry.
She had also known Joseph for many years. Although she hadn't been very close to Joseph before, she wouldn't be as distant as she was now.
"Edith, you're my classmate and someone I admire, but that's all." Joseph's voice was dull.
Edith looked out the window, the fog in her eyes grew deeper and deeper. A while later, she saw NCHV Medical Company approaching.
Kathy had just come out and was planning to take a taxi back, but there were few cars on this rainy day. She hadn't been able to get into a car even after she was drenched from standing at the side of the road.
A black Maybach slowly stopped beside her. Kathy was stunned and soon saw that it was Joseph's car.
How did he come over?
She thought that he had already gone home.
Kathy stood at the side of the road, she backed up a few steps but just didn't get into the car.
Through the car window, Joseph’s eyes froze as he honked the horn.
Kathy did not move but continued to look out for taxis.
But the sound of the horn pierced her eardrums, Kathy glared angrily at Joseph. He rolled down the window and said in a deep tone, "Get in the car."
The commanding tone made Kathy very unhappy, but her whole body was wet and uncomfortable, so she stopped being stubborn.
She didn't get into the passenger seat but opened the door of the back seat.
When she saw Edith, she was stunned again.
She didn't have many expressions. As soon as she sat down, Joseph threw over a towel, "Wipe yourself dry."
Kathy pulled a long face and silently looked out the window.
Edith watched as the two of them never had a single conversation. The corners of her lips hooked up slightly, she asked Kathy, "Is Mrs Joseph usually very busy with work?"
Only then did Kathy turn her head, "Not really, not working overtime much."
"That's good, Joseph has been very busy at work lately, you have to take care of him more," Edith spoke gently, but with a bit of strength in her tone.
Kathy could hear it herself. Looking at Edith's delicate face, she was very well dressed and had an outstanding temperament, revealing a debutante aura all over her body.
She should be from a noble family.
She frowned, "I don't think there's a shortage of people to take care of Mr Joseph."
Upon hearing, the car suddenly stopped with a sharp brake. The two women in the back seat were both shocked, but Joseph said in a faint voice, "Sorry, I didn't pay attention to the red light."
Kathy was speechless.
She couldn't help but stare at Joseph, this man was doing it on purpose!
Edith was also frightened. Holding tightly to the door handle, she did not dare to speak anymore.
