Arriving at the Westlife Hotel, Kathy sat in the lobby to wait for Joseph. Soon it went dark outside.
It had been over ten o'clock when Kathy took her steps to the room. However, before she could enter
the elevator, Sonny walked towards her. They converged at the door of the elevator.
"Kathy? What are you doing here late at night?" Sonny came from City N, where many doctors and
scholars lived.
Kathy stopped with her eyebrows furrowed. She did not want to tell Sonny that she was here to look for
Joseph.
"For something personal." Kathy answered.
Although Kathy did not say, Sonny could guess what she was for. "Come for Joseph?" Sonny became
serious immediately.
Kathy said yes and was about to step into the elevator.
Sonny followed her up and it seemed like she wanted to say something.
"Sonny, what do you want to say?" Kathy looked at her.
"Joseph is very happy with Zofia. Kathy, don't go find Joseph again," said Sonny after a while.
Kathy turned pale at the moment.
She quivered a bit and bit her lower lip tightly.
"I am here for business." Her voice trembled.
"I hope that it should be. Kathy, I think you are my friend. That's why I warned you. I don't want you
hurt."
"Well, really?" Kathy looked indifferent.
She never thought that anyone could change her mind.
"As far as I know, Joseph had been married with Ella for long." Kathy suddenly uttered.
Actually, she had been curious about it for some time. After she left City N, Carl and Maria were busy in
divorcing. Ella would be with Maria. But Reece didn't talk about Ella.
She thought that Joseph would be with Ella, but he was with Zofia now.
"Ella?" Sonny frowned after hearing this name. "She died three years ago."
"What?" Kathy shuddered and she couldn't pull herself together at the moment.
How could it happen?
Didn't she marry Joseph? She remembered that Ella had been in a bad condition at that time though.
But why had Joseph married her?
When all these questions baffled Kathy, the elevator ascended to the top floor.
"Kathy, I know you are smart. We are all happy, especially Zofia."
Kathy wanted to say something but she suddenly perceived what Sonny meant.
She clearly knew that Sonny had liked her three years ago. But now she was different.
Kathy was confused. Walking out of the elevator, Sonny did not follow her, yet she felt unpleasant.
The Bridges had never talked about Ella's death, so she had no idea about it.
Then she stopped thinking about it and knocked on the door.
The door automatically opened and Kathy saw the man sitting on the sofa with a single glance.
She said loudly, "Professor Joseph, I would like to wait outside. Please sign the document and hand it
to me."
She stood at the door and made up her mind that she would not go in.
Joseph looked cold as usual. Hearing this, he raised his head and smiled. He said with a commanding
tone, "Come in here and bring it to me."
"It is not appropriate for me to come in." Kathy was persistent.
Joseph didn't say anything else and go on with his work. Kathy was standing outside.
He meant that he wouldn't sign it if Kathy didn't come in.
There was a strained atmosphere between them. Kathy had already planned to leave. She would
rather irritate Mr Richard than coming into Joseph's room again. Then she turned around and left.
But she saw Zofia walking towards her in a pure white dress. Her smile disappeared as soon as she
saw Kathy here.
"Kathy, can't you just leave us alone?" It was obvious that Zofia detested her.
"I don't want to come here." Kathy said calmly.
"You're lying. Don't tell me you still like Joseph now." Zofia stood in her way.
"Joseph doesn't deserve it now."
"The more you can't be with him, the more you like him. Who knows what you're thinking?" Zofia
taunted at her.
They heard a man's voice. It was Joseph.
"Zofia."
"Joseph, you haven't eaten yet. Let's go eat something." Zofia stopped looking at Kathy and walked
over to Joseph.
"Wait a minute."
"Alright." Zofia followed Joseph into the suite with a smile.
Kathy did not look back to see them, but she felt really uncomfortable.
She didn't know how she left the hotel, but Kathy felt that all her strength had been drained off. She
leaned against the elevator wall and bit her lips tightly, holding back her tears.
She really didn't want to see Joseph again, never.
She knew well about the pain. She had gone through it before three years. It hurt so much.
Walking out of the hotel, Kathy was still disheartened until she bumped into someone. She looked up to
see Reece who was feeling sorry for her.
"Why are you here?" She murmured.
"I should be the one to ask this question."
"I'm here for Joseph." Kathy did not lie to him. In any case, Reece knew where she was and what she
was doing.
"Mr Richard asks you for this?" Reece narrowed his eyes.
"Yes." In front of Reece, Kathy cooled herself down.
"I'll help you. Don't ever see Joseph again."
"All right." Kathy was still indifferent.
However, his eyes were filled with tears. Reece suddenly held her in his arms tightly and Kathy didn't
got chance to push him away.
"Kathy, when will you accept me?" He asked in a sad tone.
Kathy frowned, thinking that she must have misheard. Reece would never show this emotion.
"Reece, let go of me first. Let's go back." Kathy sighed and pushed him away forcefully.
However, at this moment, Reece didn't let her go.
Not far away, Joseph and Zofia walked out of the elevator. They all focused on Reece and Kathy in
front of the exit of the hotel.
Zofia glanced at Joseph. Although he didn't show any emotion, he actually was angry.
On the way back, Kathy leaned against the back of the chair tiredly. Although Reece had been caring
for her for three years, he had never acted too outrageously. But recently, because of Joseph, he
seemed to be unable to control himself.
Kathy was very resistant, thinking that she would talked about moving out of the Bridges House when
Jennifer came back.
After returning to the villa, Kathy planned to go back to her room, but Reece called her, "You still have a
low fever. Take the medicine and then go to bed. Tomorrow, I will go together with you to pay homage
to Aunt Jane."
Kathy nodded. She didn't say anything else. She took the warm water and the tablets stiffly. In a terrible
mood, she went back to her room to sleep. There were all Zofia and Joseph in her dreams They were
in the same room, so what would they do? They would do it...Kathy had thought that Joseph would only
be with her, but now...
