âThis matter was decided by Mr. Joseph. Anyway youâre a family member, Mrs. Joseph, so it doesnât matter.â The HR manager joked.
But Kathy doesnât want it to be done in this manner...
Wouldnât that mean that Joseph opened the âback doorâ for her?
And that was a huge back door!
Kathy was still very perturbed when she went back to her office at the top level and didnât even notice that John walked over to her.
âMrs. ... Secretary Kathy?â
John wasnât used to the different ways of addressing Kathy on different occasions...
She was secretary Kathy during working hours and Mrs. Joseph after work.
Mr. Joseph really knew how to enjoy himself!
âAssistant John.â Kathy came to her senses.
âSoon there will be a high-level meeting. You should go in to see what Mr. Joseph needs.â
Kathy nodded and went into the office.
Kathy looked uneasily at Joseph when she thought about what she found out at the HR department.
âHow come I became a regular staff here?â
Joseph looked up when he heard, âNot satisfied?â
âNo, Iâm just here to help out. Isnât this inappropriate?â
âReally? I didnât think so.â
Kathy, â...â
She needed to put in more effort otherwise she wouldnât feel right...
âJoseph, assign me more work to do.â
He looked at her and raised his eyebrows, âYou want a raise?â
Kathy immediately waved her hand. Her current salary was even higher than Johnâs and she shouldnât expect it to go any higher.
Although it was always great to get paid more.
But Joseph would be showing too much favoritism.
âNo need for a raise, just give me an extra chicken leg!â Kathy laughed.
Joseph squinted and signaled for her to go over, âCome.â
Kathy stood a meter from him and he was not satisfied with this.
âWhat?â Kathy was surprised.
She stood still.
Josephâs expression darkened, âCome over.â
Kathy stepped forward and Joseph immediately grabbed her into his embrace.
Kathyâs eyes were wide open in surprise.
John was just outside! He could come in at any moment!
He could see her anxiety and Joseph grinned, âSacred?â
âJoseph, this is the office...â Kathy frowned and kept trying to push him away.
âDonât move. I just want to hug you.â
Naturally, He wonât do anything else.
Kathy was shy even when the lights were turned off and now this was absolutely out of her comfort zone.
âThe meeting is starting soon.â Kathy reminded him.
At this moment, John started to knock on the door.
Kathyâs expression changed and used her strength to push Joseph away but his hands were still on her buttocks.
Kathyâs face blushed red and looked at Joseph.
He was getting increasingly daring...
âWhat are you waiting for, secretary Kathy?
Joseph was calm and composed as he stood up. He saw Kathyâs blushed face and grinned even more.
Kathy, â...â
...
On weekend.
The car drove slowly towards the Booth family's ancient castle by the hillside.
Kathy was feeling very uneasy for the entire journey. Although Joseph held onto her hand, it continued to sweat.
What if grandfather doesnât like Joseph...
Her chin was pinched and turned towards Joseph and she could only look into his eyes, âIâm not worried so why should you?â
âGrandfather has a bad temper,â Kathy said.
âNo matter what, the reality of our marriage canât be changed.â
As they entered the castle, Zack was not in the living hall. The caretaker welcomed them and frowned imperceptibly when he saw Joseph.
âMiss Kathy, Old master is still resting in the room. He only wants you to visit him.â The caretaker was obviously unhappy to see Joseph.
Kathy frowned, âHe is my husband. Grandfather will not mind.â
âMiss Kathy, you should go alone first.â The caretaker insisted.
âIâll wait for you here. Go ahead.â Joseph wasnât upset.
Kathy nodded and went towards the bedroom and could hear Zackâs wheezing from a distance.
She opened the door anxiously and saw that her grandfather was reaching for some medicine. She immediately rushed over to take the medicine out for him.
âGrandfather.â Her anxiety was revealed.
Zack smiled when he saw his granddaughter and felt much better after taking the medicine.
âMy precious granddaughter is here.â
âGrandfather, are you willing to see Joseph?â Kathy asked nervously.
Zackâs expression was calm and wasnât angry as Kathy had expected.
âLet him come up since he is here. But you are my precious granddaughter. I will worry no matter who you are married to.â
Kathy smiled, âGrandfather, he is very nice to me.â
âThen I want to see him for myself.â
Soon the caretaker knocked on the door and Joseph pushed open the door to enter.
âOld Master Booth.â Joseph greeted courteously.
Kathy helped her grandfather to sit up and Zack looked at the man before him and said calmly, âI know that you hastily married my granddaughter. Do you truly love her?â
Kathy was stunned and instinctively looked at Joseph.
She knew that Joseph wouldnât like her.
But now they were in front of Zack.
She couldnât help but be nervous.
Joseph was calm and looked at Zack nonchalantly, âIt was love at first sight with Kathy. The marriage wasnât an impulse because when I saw her, I decided that only she can be my wife.â
Kathy looked at him in surprise and her heartbeat raced. What Joseph said was a huge deal to her.
Although she knew that what he was saying now was for the sake of her grandfather.
But she still wanted to believe it.
âThis granddaughter of mine had always been away from me. Now that she is one of the Booth family and her status is extraordinary. Since you like her, why didnât you hold a wedding ceremony?â Zack said coldly.
âGrandfather, I was the one who didnât want a wedding ceremony,â Kathy said.
Actually, no one mentioned this. Joseph and she didnât really get married so a wedding ceremony was meaningless.
âNow that you are by my side, how can I let you be mistreated? Grandfather wants everyone to know that you are a member of the Booth family. In the future, if this man mistreats you, the booth family will not let him off!â Zack proclaimed.
âGrandfather, rest assured that I will not bully Kathy,â Joseph said sincerely.
âGrandfather, weâve been married for so long already. There is no need for a wedding ceremony.â Kathy could understand her grandfatherâs intentions, in fact ... how could she not wish for a wedding ceremony?
But she was contented with the current situation.
âKathy, since this is grandfatherâs wishes, how about we satisfy him?â Joseph held onto her petite hand and said affectionately.
Kathy was moved by his attitude.
But, can it be done?
Zack had already summoned for the caretaker to enter, âContact the wedding organizers, my granddaughter wants to hold a wedding ceremony!â
Kathy was still stunned. It wasnât until she left the castle that she believed that all these were real.
Josephâs tender and warm voice whispered into her ear, âMrs. Joseph, Iâve already ordered your wedding gown. Iâve waited a long time for this day.â
Kathy was shocked, already ordered?
She always thought that there wouldnât be a wedding ceremony with Joseph.
âHow could this be, Joseph, are you serious?â She asked in disbelief.

âDidnât I make myself clear just now?â Joseph patted her head.
Kathy grabbed onto his arm and her head was still in a daze. How could Joseph have ordered the wedding gown...
That was meant for Mrs. Joseph...
So, it must not have been ordered for her.
