Kathy smiled awkwardly, "Are you awake?"
Joseph walked to her with his long legs. His eyes were deep and his face was impassive.
"You've been sitting out all night?"
Kathy stepped back slightly. She nodded and then immediately shook her head, "No, I just came out to get some water."
A faint smile was on Joseph's face, "There's a glass of water at the bedside too."
Kathy was stunned, avoided his gaze, and let out a deep breath. She suddenly hugged his waist and whispered, "It's still early, you can go back to sleep for a while."
In fact, she wasn't sure if this move would work on Joseph.
But Joseph's reaction still made Kathy relieved that he didn't push her away, instead he wrapped his arms around her thin waist and took her back to her room as well.
After lying down, Kathy gradually felt somewhat sleepy. She turned over and shrank towards the side of the bed. Then she heard Joseph's deep voice, "Kathy ......"
"Hmm?"
"You're pleasing me." His tone was definite.
She was sleepy and Joseph's voice was so low that Kathy didn't hear it too well and mumbled, "What?"
Joseph did not speak, but reached out and held her tightly in his arms.
Kathy moved restlessly and soon fell into sleep.
But in the darkness, Joseph did not close his eyes. She curled into a small ball in his arms and her whole face almost buried in his chest. He could not see her expression at all.
So he moved slightly and lifted her little face up. When the morning light outside the window filtered in, he clearly saw the dark circle under her eyes.
In fact, he could feel that she had been insomnia these days.
At that moment, like being touched gently by something, Joseph was suddenly overwhelmed by a hint of sadness.
How long didn’t she have a good night?
He didn't wake her up and moved gently.
After leaving, he turned back and found her cell phone under her pillow.
…
After waking up from a nap, Kathy looked at the clock by the window and was dazed. She thought her eyes blurred.
Hadn't she set the alarm on her phone?
She found her phone hurriedly, but she found it was on the table and the alarm she set before had been canceled.
She didn't think much about why Joseph had done that, because she was already late and she had to get back to the Booth Group for the regular morning meeting.
She drove to Booth Group and this time just avoided the Monday morning rush.
Kathy strode back to her office on her high heels. And at that time, her secretary looked up from behind her computer and stared at her in amazement.
Kathy quickly returned to her office, but for some reason, she felt a little uneasy, so she turned down the air conditioning.
At that moment, the secretary came in with a panicked look on her face, "Ms Kathy, something has happened."
"What?"
"The security guard at the entrance got into some argument with someone and someone was injured."
"Who?"
"It was reporters, they didn't have an appointment, so the security guard wouldn't let them in."
"What are reporters doing over here?" Kathy was suspicious.
The secretary smiled a little stiffly, "Ms Kathy, you should read the news."
Usually Kathy would have the habit of reading the news, but today she got up late, and she had no time to read the news.
She immediately clicked on her computer's browser, and when she saw the headline news, she instantly was stunned.
It was only after a long time, with the air conditioning blowing her headache, that she reached for her phone.
