My Sweetheart

Chapter 451 I Wanted to Stay with You All the Time

Sometimes Kathy would come to help Joseph with the work. They stayed in the office together, which was one of their few dates.

John knocked the door and came in to report on work.

“Mr. Joseph, The land in North Bay will be auctioned tomorrow. Will you come?”

“Yes” Joseph nodded and he frowned.

Kathy was looking at the auction files.

The land in North Bay was used for medical purpose and now several companies wanted to build hospital on this land which was just developed and potential but lacked public resources.

The main competitors were the Joseph's Group, the Booth Group and Bridges Group.

Kathy knew the Booth Group. When talked about Bridges Group, she couldn't help thinking of Ella's family.

But why did Bridges Group want to develop in City N?

Kathy didn’t know about it and didn’t pay attention to it too.

She helped Joseph organize the files, checked the time and walked to desk.

“Joseph, it is time to have dinner.”

It was late. Joseph always didn’t eat on time, which made her worried.

“I will order John to drive you back.” Joseph said.

Kathy frowned and didn’t move.

John walked in and looked at them. He didn’t dare to speak.

Joseph looked up and saw Kathy’s anxious eyes. He finally put up his pen.

“Let’s have dinner together.”

Kathy smiled.

“Will you go to the hospital tomorrow?” Joseph asked.

Kathy shook her head. Benedict would go aboard to attend meetings and several professors were not in the hospital too so she had a three-day holiday.

“I want you to accompany me to North Bay.”

Kathy remembered he would bid tomorrow and said, “But I'm not suitable to attend it tomorrow.”

She was not the regular employee of the Joseph's Group and others would attend the auction with Joseph.

“I can decide it.” Joseph firmly said.

“My mother may attend it too.” Kathy thought and said.

Now Jennifer was in charge of the Booth Group. Bertie was absent and Jennifer might attend the auction on behalf of the Booth Group. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Hum. What do you think of the North Bay?” Joseph asked.

“The North Bay may develop quickly in the future. The government has planned that it will be used for medical purposes so it will benefit us to get that land with the support of government.”

The north of the City N was just developed and there were many companies competing for it, which showed its potential.

But she thought the Booth Group would compete with the Joseph's Group.

She understood Joseph well but Jennifer was also famous for her excellence. As for Bridges Group, Kathy didn’t know about it.

“The Joseph's Group has invested many hospitals in these years. But North Bay was not involved. If we could get this land, it will benefit a lot.”

“The Booth Group will also compete for this land, and it is a tough competitor.” Kathy reminded.

Her Grandpa established the Booth Group and it still kept growing. And the Booth Group didn’t have business in City N before so it was not famous as the Joseph's Group.

But who would get the land tomorrow was still unknown.

“I won’t be mercy.” Joseph smiled.

“I know you would compete for it fairly and I won’t support anyone.” Kathy was neutral.

After the dinner, Joseph sent Kathy back. Before getting out of the car, she repeatedly told Joseph, “Don’t work overtime. Go home early.”

“You are not in the Joseph Bay and I don’t want to go back.”

“You can’t do that.” Kathy was a little annoyed.

Joseph was serious before. Seeing Kathy was annoyed, he became gentle and said, “Kathy, I want to stay with you all the time.”

“I will see you tomorrow.” Kathy embraced Joseph and felt his temperature.

“Well. Wait for me. Go back now.” Joseph smiled and kissed Kathy.

Kathy felt indulged and Joseph finally finished this kiss.

When she came back to the Booth family, Jennifer didn’t sleep yet and she was watching financial news.

“Don't you need to go to school tomorrow?” Jennifer asked with concern.

“No, I don’t have classes these days.”

“Take a good rest at home. And I will be busy recently.” Jennifer sighed.

Bertie was not in the company and there was a lot things she need to deal with. She was a little tired.

Kathy stopped walking and realized Jennifer still wanted to say something to her. Kathy sat with her.

“Mom”

“Kathy, you also know Bertie is in charge of Marshall Group now and I hope you could help me.”

Kathy frowned. There was no one except for Kathy to help Jennifer deal with the work in the Booth Group.

“I…” Kathy wanted to say but stopped.

She knew Jennifer was getting older. The Booth Group was bigger than before, and many shareholders secretly wanted to replace Jennifer’s position so they could annex the Booth Group after Zack’s death.

Some hidden problems were gradually exposed.

“Ahem” Jennifer leaned against the sofa and her face paled. She couldn't help coughing.

Kathy nervously held Jennifer and the servant quickly brought the medicine to her.

“Mom, you throat was inflamed before, Do you see the doctor?” Kathy worriedly said.

“I am too busy these days and I don't have time to see the doctor.” Jennifer shook her head.

“I will accompany you to the hospital tomorrow.” Kathy seriously said.

“There is an auction tomorrow and I must attend it.”

“Mom, your heath is more important.”

“If I go to the hospital, you can help me attend the auction tomorrow.” Jennifer suddenly said.

Kathy was stunned but she also agreed Joseph to accompany him tomorrow.

But Jennifer didn’t feel well now. Kathy frowned. She could not bear to see mom go to work while sick.

“Mom, but I don't know anything.” Kathy frowned. She was afraid that she might mess things up.

“I will ask Director Rupert to go with you tomorrow. We will bid for the land in North Bay used for medical purpose. In order to develop our business in City N, we must get that land.”

Kathy bit her lips and slowly nodded.

It meant she and Joseph would be in opposite positions tomorrow.

Kathy accompanied her mother back to the room. She took over some files about the auction tomorrow and Jennifer told her to remember it tonight.

Actually she knew about the auction in the Joseph's Group.

And she also knew the reserve price of the Joseph's Group.

She also got the Booth Group’s information and the bidding price was lower than that of the Joseph's Group. She could choose to raise the price and get the land.

But it was not fair.

Kathy agonizingly grabbed her hair and she wouldn't dare to attend the auction tomorrow.

At this time, her phone rang and it was Joseph.

Kathy didn't answer the first call and she answered the second call.

She was a little nervous and kept silent.

“Who annoys you? Huh?” Joseph gently said.

When Kathy was annoyed, she always kept silent.

“No one, I just provoke myself.” Kathy was annoyed and said in an aggressive tone.

“Tell me what happens.” Joseph frowned.
