My Sweetheart

Chapter 209 Only You Can Do It

In the afternoon, Kathy returned to NCHV Medical Company. She wanted to ask for leave, and she had to apply to Johnson personally.

Johnson was about to sign his name, but he noticed Kathy’s reason for asking for leave: To attend a friend’s wedding.

“Which friend?” he asked casually.

Kathy frowned and answered, “Alexia.”

Sure enough, Johnson’s face darkened. Johnson signed on the note and said indifferently, “Give my congratulations to her.”

Kathy was impassive. She got out Johnson’s office and Lincoln happened to come up.

“Kathy, come with me to the Joseph’s Group.” Seeing Kathy, Lincoln was like to see a savior.

Kathy was confused and Lincoln dragged her into the elevator.

“Mr. Fletcher, what happened?” Kathy frowned. Although Lincoln appeared to be cynical, he had always been calm in his handling of affairs. It was almost rare to see him be anxious.

“Did you quarrel with Joseph?” Lincoln did not answer, but asked instead.

Kathy was dumb, thinking of Joseph’s unhappy expression this morning. He must be angry…

Lincoln understood when he saw Kathy’s expression.

He rubbed his forehead between his eyebrows irritably. When had Joseph’s temper been affected by a woman?

“Probably... No, I didn’t.” Kathy shook her head.

Joseph would never quarrel with her.

“You must have had a quarrel with him. He is a stern-faced despot in the company today. I can’t calm him down, and the whole company will suffer.”

“Since you can’t calm him down, I can’t either.” Kathy frowned.

“Yes, you can! Only you can do it.” Lincoln said confidently.

“I’m still at work...” Kathy didn’t want to see Joseph right now.

Lincoln thought for a while. Then he directly dragged Kathy into Johnson’s office and said to Johnson, “I’ll take Kathy out for half a day!”

Johnson nodded abstractedly. He was thinking something.

Lincoln pushed Kathy into a sports car, and then he drove the car too fast that Kathy went deathly pale in fear.

“Mr. Fletcher, slow down…” Kathy said tensely.

Lincoln glanced sideways at her and said, “I can’t slow down.”

Finally, in less than fifteen minutes, Lincoln braked the car and stopped it at the entrance of Joseph’s Group’s building. Kathy immediately got off the car. Only then did she feel much better.

“What did Joseph do to you?” Kathy asked in a deep voice.

Why was Lincoln so anxious?

“He fired two senior executives and didn’t speak much all day. Anyway, he rejected all the proposals. If he continues, the company will be in death.”

Kathy rolled her eyes and said, “These are your company’s internal affairs.”

“He’s too abnormal today.” Lincoln had known Joseph for many years and he knew the latter’s personality very well.

Although Joseph was strict on business, he had never been so harsh.

Unless, he was in a really bad mood.

“Mr. Fletcher, I think I will only push the Joseph’s Group into the hell.” Kathy hesitated.

She and Joseph had an unpleasant conversation this morning. If Joseph saw her, she was afraid that he would be angrier.

“Make a last-ditch effort, OK?” Lincoln pushed Kathy forward authoritatively.

On the way, Kathy naturally attracted quite a bit of attention as she walked with Lincoln.

She lowered her head, thinking of Joseph’s stern-faced in the morning.

Why was he angry?

Was it because she didn’t ask him to go to Alexia’s wedding with her?

Kathy couldn’t figure out the reason.

As they reached the top floor, a senior executive got out the CEO’s office. Apparently he was frustrated.

When he saw Lincoln, he almost burst into tears. He said, “Mr. Fletcher, don’t go in. Mr. Joseph is...”

“I know. I brought the savior.” Lincoln said.

Kathy was still very hesitant. If Joseph was in a temper, she dared not to provoke him.

But Lincoln pushed Kathy into the office and shouted, “Dude, your wife is looking for you.”

Kathy was speechless.

Lincoln closed the door behind Kathy. A few meters away, Joseph frowned and looked at Kathy indifferently.

He was dressed in black, and his aura was very cold at this moment.

Kathy looked at him awkwardly and was silent for a long time.

After a long while, Joseph put down the files in his hand and walked over, “Did Lincoln take you here?” This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Kathy frowned and didn’t answer him. Instead, she asked, “Are you still angry about what happened this morning?”

“What do you think?” Joseph’s eyes were cold.

“I don’t know,” she muttered.

Her head was suddenly lifted by the man, and she had to look at Joseph’s unfathomable eyes.

“Are you worried about me?” he asked.

“No.” Kathy turned around.

Joseph’s face darkened. His gloomy and cold aura frightened Kathy.

“You can leave now.” Joseph let go of her and turned around coldly.

Joseph had never treated her this way, and Kathy felt very distressed.

She was here, and it was almost time to get off work. Why did Joseph ask her to leave now? Couldn’t they have a meal together?

On the way here, she thought that if Joseph was in a bad mood, she could console him.

“I’m not leaving.” Kathy was also angry, and she sat on the sofa with a poker face.

Joseph ignored her and concentrated on his work, as if she was not here.

John came in to report his work several times, and he found Joseph’s tone softened.

Lincoln asked, “Is he not angry anymore?”

“Yes, Mr. Joseph is normal now. It’s probably because of Mrs. Joseph.” John was relieved.

Lincoln was also relieved. He had a major proposal, which needed Joseph’s signature. Joseph rejected the proposal in the morning. Lincoln thought Joseph might sign it since the latter was normal now.

With that in mind, Lincoln quickly walked into the office and said, “Dude, this project is about to start, please sign the proposal for me.”

Joseph frowned and glanced at the proposal briefly. Then he handed it back to Lincoln and said, “I reject this project.”

“Why? What’s the problem?” Lincoln’s face darkened.

He had also discussed this project with Joseph before. And he carried it out because Joseph said that it was feasible.

“Recently, the Joseph’s Group focused on research and development. The importing medicine will be talked next year.” Joseph said authoritatively.

“Right now, the Joseph’s Group doesn’t lack money. I think there is no problem.” Lincoln insisted.

These medicines were well-known abroad. Now the Joseph’s Group market share in City N was not high, he thought they had to take this step.

“My position is higher than yours. You can only listen to my orders.”

Lincoln choked and pursed his thin lips. If they weren’t in the company, he would have exploded long ago.

Kathy was calm. She did not listen to the conversation between the men and just read a book on her phone.

“OK, next year!” Lincoln quickly left.

“Are you hungry?” Lincoln asked Kathy before he left.

Kathy came back to her senses. She shook her head.

“You must be hungry. I have something to tell you.” Lincoln didn’t care and asked Kathy out.

“Mr. Fletcher...” Kathy frowned even though she had a good temper.
