Joseph's face darkened, he made a signal and two bodyguards quickly came over, "I can't do that, don't worry, they will protect you."
Joseph turned around and walked away briskly.
Edith stared at his cold figure and clenched her first, there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.
Kathy was going through a rollercoaster ride of emotions, her agitation only dissipated when Joseph left after pushing Edith's hand away.
She smiled but unconsciously thought, "Miss Edith still relies on Joseph a lot."
Otherwise, she wouldn't be holding on him for so long just now.
But then she felt a bit upset.
Edith and Joseph met up late at night, it couldn't be to discuss some business matter.
She then walked towards the entrance and tried to hail a cab. Suddenly, she noticed Joseph standing right next to his black Maybach, his hands in his pockets, his eyes squinted staring straight at her.
He looked like he was waiting for someone…
Was he waiting for her?
Kathy grimaced as Joseph walked towards her.
"Why did you wait for me?" Kathy was still mad, she stepped away from him.
But Joseph managed to scoop her into his embrace with his long arms.
He pressed his head on her forehead, his voice deep and sultry, "You can see the whole lobby with that window over there."
Joseph pointed at a French window on the west side of the hotel.
Kathy looked at where he was pointing and realized that it was true, but that would mean that he knew that she was hiding behind the pillar from the start.
She hung her head low out of embarrassment, she didn't hide on purpose.
She then raised her head, she justly and forcefully questioned him, "So you went out in the middle of the night to comfort Edith?"
Joseph frowned, he placed his palms on her slightly cold cheeks, "Edith was pestered by her uncle, I wasn't comforting her, I was just sending her home."
"I see," Kathy answered plainly.
"Get the driver to drive you next time, don't take a cab," said Joseph, his voice velvety.
Kathy bit her lips, she didn't ask the driver because she didn't want to bother him so late at night.
Kathy had more freedom ever since she moved to Joseph Bay, no drivers constantly waiting for her, she liked it more this way.
Not to mention she was planning to buy herself a car, it would be much more convenient.
Joseph's face darkened seeing Kathy ignoring what he said, he held her chin and she made a sad expression.
"Are you still mad?"
"Am I?"
"Yes, Mrs. Johnson, you are jealous," said Joseph firmly.
Kathy pursed her lips, she pushed him away and said sourly, "I am jealous, you were so intimate with Edith just now."
"Yes, I admit that," Joseph didn't deny.
Kathy was sullen, she turned around and left.
How should she communicate properly with this man?
Joseph smiled shrewdly, he then again pulled Kathy into his arms, Kathy was flapping around mid-air.
The driver opened the door, Kathy stared at Joseph furiously as he squeezed her into the car.
"Edith is technically my sister, I cannot leave her alone, but I'll maintain my distance," Joseph explained himself.
Kathy was puzzled, his sister?
They didn't share the same surname, was Edith adopted?
"But, she seemed to like you, not as a brother."
She had a gut feeling that Edith was into Joseph, they weren't biologically related and Edith always tried to get closer to Joseph.
