Chapter 10: 10: Going to Work Hand in Hand

What if I was brave enough to say I saved him, not Anna? Would everything be different? Kate thought to herself.

Amy had a smug smile on her face. Although she was punished, at least Joseph was on her side, and maybe if she was able to push Kate away, she could be Joseph's wife one day.

"Lord Joseph, please don't blame Lady Kate. Alan is okay, and that is the most important thing, isn't it?" Amy said kindly as if she was trying to help Kate.

Kate despised her and then said to Joseph, "The doctor said there is nothing wrong with Alan. I don't know why Amy lied to you. Again, I want to emphasize that I'm not interested in Alan at all. I just want to have a baby and then divorce you as stipulated in our agreement."

Although she had said the same thing before, Kate was fed up and honestly meant what she said. She got up and walked up the stairs without saying another word to anyone.

Amy put her head down and softly said, "Lord Joseph, Lady Kate vented her anger on me. I didn't lie to you. Alan…"

"ENOUGH!" Joseph interrupted and warned, "Don't use Alan as your excuse to cause trouble. And watch your behavior in front of Kate. After all, you are only a servant."

Amy was frightened by his words. She wondered what happened and if it was possible that he loved Kate.

Once Kate was in her bedroom, she closed the door and squatted down against it. In the spacious room, she could not restrain her sorrow any longer. She would never show her weakness and cry in front of Joseph, no matter how maltreated and misunderstood she was. After each cry, she would hate Joseph more and be more eager for the divorce.

The next day, Kate and Joseph sat at the table, eating breakfast when Joseph suddenly said, "Samuel will be serving as the supervisor of your department."

Kate paused for a moment and then continued to eat without acknowledging Joseph's comment. She understood what he meant, and since she had no feelings for Samuel, she didn't believe it was any of her business.

"What a pity that you are not an actress? You can always hide your happiness very well." Joseph laughed at her.

Kate still remained silent.

"I have to warn you. Behave yourself in public. Otherwise, there will be hell to pay."

"Are you so afraid of me cheating on you?" Kate asked grumpily.

"You can try." He stared at her.

"It's not a difficult thing if I have a try," Kate said with a cold smirk.

Ever since Samuel returned, Joseph felt that Kate was braver more confident. She not only dared to joke with him, but also bicker with him. Though she was more interesting than before, he felt uncomfortable with it.

"If you do cheat on me, I will break your leg!" He stood up immediately and started to walk out of the room. Then, he spun around and demanded, "You will be going in my car to Smith Group today."

Kate wanted to ask why, but he disappeared before she had the chance. When she finished breakfast, Kate walked out the door to find Joseph sitting in the driver's seat of his car, waiting for her. Since they got married, Kate had been working in the planning department at Smith Group, and each morning Henry would drive her there. Even if she were leaving at the same time as Joseph, he would not drive her, so she was quite surprised.

Looking out the window, Kate continued to wonder why Joseph was acting so strangely. She was more nervous than happy, though. She was so lost in her thoughts that they were at work before she had time to talk to him.

"Get out!" Joseph ordered.

Kate snapped back to reality and then glanced back to see Joseph before she got out, but he was faster than her. He was standing by the car door and reached out to hold her hand. Kate felt her heart rate increase, but quickly calmed down and pulled her hand away. She questioned him, "This is work, we are not around your family. Why is there a need to pretend we love each other?"

Joseph glared at her and said, "Don't bullshit. Just follow what I say."

The more domineering Joseph was, the more arrogant Kate became. She refused to hold his hand and walked toward the building. Joseph grabbed her hand, then pulled her closer. Kate had not expected that he would react aggressively; she tried to push him away, but he was too strong.

She looked at him in resentment and cursed, "Are you crazy?"

Joseph was about to warn her about refusing his actions when he saw Samuel walking toward them, so instead, he kissed Kate on the lips.

Staring at the man in front of her, Kate was shocked, and her entire body was frozen with fear. Since the wedding two years ago, he had never kissed her; not even at the wedding, he only kissed her hand. They had sex many times, but he was never romantic, he was only doing it to torture her before, but now it was to have a baby. Thinking of the situation, Kate wiped her lips, trying to get rid of any trace of him.

"Good morning Joseph! Good morning Kate!" Samuel greeted them when he approached.

Joseph smiled at him. He took Kate's hand and asked, "Do you think this job worthy of your talent?"

Samuel answered, "I think it is. Kate is here, so I can have her help me." He still kept a smile on his face, even though he hated the fact that Joseph just kissed Kate.

"You are a supervisor; she is just an editor. I think you should be more

competent than she is. If you ask her and need her help, I'm afraid the planning department may not develop as we hope."

"I mean to ask her to help me get familiar with the working environment as soon as possible. As for other aspects, I think I can deal with them very competently. You don't need to worry about it; I am sure we will see results in the next two months."

"Okay, I hope you can live up to Grandpa's expectations," Joseph said as he grabbed Kate's hand again.

Seeing Kate and Joseph hand in hand, walking into work, left Samuel feeling frustrated and angry.

When Kate reached her desk, the morning's events were weighing on her mind.

She repeatedly replayed Joseph's weird actions and wondered why he was acting like he was toward her.
