But when she lit the phone screen, she found several missed calls and unread text messages, all of which were from Joseph.
[Why didn't you answer the phone? What do you want for lunch? I'm downstairs in your company and want to have lunch with you.]
[Your assistant said you are out; So, I'll go back first.]
[Remember to take a lunch break at noon, don't be too tired, you can ask me directly if you have any difficulties at work.]
...
After reading a series of messages, Kate felt warm in heart.
This man could be as cold as ice when he's indifferent, but could also be as hot as fire when he cared about you.
Kate called Joseph then, Joseph answered the phone quickly.
"Do you finally remember me?" Joseph said bitterly.
"I'm busy." Kate slightly raised her lips up but she pretended to be cold.
"Did you eat something for lunch?" Joseph asked, in an exactly soft tone, which's coupled with the magnetic sound. While it lingered in the ear, it's simply an aural enjoyment.
A blush appeared on Kate's face unknowingly.
"Yes, I had."
"Where are you now?"
"On my way back to the White Group. I'll arrive there soon." Kate said as if she were an obedient student, reporting to her teacher what had happened carefully.
"I see," Joseph said and hung up the phone.
Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Kate looked at the phone screen uncertainly. After making sure that he had hung up the phone, she bit her lower lip with anger and complained.
"It's really not polite at all! I didn't ask the things I want to know yet!"
Two minutes later, Kate arrived at the White Group. As soon as she stepped out of the car, she saw Joseph's car parked in front.
He hung up quickly because he was waiting for her here?
In a daze, Kate walked towards the car.
Joseph got out of the car when Kate approached. He said with a smile, "I suppose you didn't know I'm here."
"When did you come?" Kate continued, "Don't tell me that you've been here since you texted."
He nodded in acquiescence.
"So, you haven't had lunch yet?!" Kate was shocked.
Joseph's stomach was growling while they mentioned the lunch.
"You see, now you've recalled the evil in my stomach now, it warned me I had to have something." Joseph smiled awkwardly,
"You are not a kid right now; don't you know you should have something when you're hungry?" Kate said angrily.
"Your way of speaking..." It seemed to be asking her, but it was much smoother than the overbearing threat before.
Joseph realized this and explained, "I think it's very important, so I emphasized it. I didn't mean to be aggressive."
Oh, Joseph should explain to Kate right now, this was not the case before.
Kate realized that she loved to compare the past with the present. It's not a good habit at all. Since she had made up her mind to start again, she should know each other from the beginning. Just let all the bad things past.
"Then we can go to eat now." Kate planned to take Joseph to eat something. She pointed to the restaurant across the street and said, "That restaurant is good, there should have something you like."
"Don't you take a lunch break?" Although Joseph wanted Kate to accompany her, he also hoped that she could have a good rest.
"It's okay. A Ten-minutes nap was enough for me. I would feel uncomfortable if I slept long in the afternoon." Kate said.
"Okay."
In the restaurant, Joseph asked her while reading the recipe, "What do you want to eat?"
"I can't eat anymore. I had a lot of dishes with Lisa at noon."
Joseph casually ordered a dish and a soup, and then chatted with her, "You're so far away from Lisa, why do you have lunch with her? Don't you have car sickness?"
When talking about this, Joseph felt a little sour. He came here after a long drive but didn't see Kate as expected.
Fortunately, she met Kate in the end and she's now sitting opposite him. This had given him great comfort.
"I rarely have car sickness if I'm happy. Besides, I couldn't wait to meet Lisa. The feeling's like you want to see mother when you got home from school in your childhood." Kate explained her feelings plainly.
"Then how about meeting me?" Joseph asked jealously.
Kate shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
Joseph stopped asking for a snub and changed the topic, "Why did you bring Rowen here for dinner last time?"
Kate almost forgot it if Joseph didn't talk about it. At Joseph's reminding, the memory was refreshed. Kate then said in full detail. "Last time, Rowen was waiting for me at the entrance of the company like you, saying that he would treat me with a meal. I thought it's near my company, how could I let him treat me, so I took him here."
"I don't know if I should be happy or jealous." Joseph complained without evasiveness, "I was treated the same as him."
Kate glanced at him and laughed at him unceremoniously. "I'm not your girlfriend. Why are you jealous?"
The words made Joseph didn't know what to say next. He glanced at her bitterly and continued to eat.
Kate took the opportunity to observe Joseph, who's angry now. She's complacent at the man's reaction.
"Okay, Rowen is my classmate, you needn't regard him as your imaginary enemy." After the explanation, she continued, "Don't aim at Rowen like Samuel, he is innocent, and shouldn't be involved in our relationship!"
Kate's explanation made Joseph feel much better. After a while, he asked seriously, "Am I an unreasonable person in your heart?"
"Otherwise?" Kate ridiculed unceremoniously. "It was a pure misunderstanding between Samuel and me, but you gave me a bad name of having affair with him. To me, this is a result of personality."
When thought of this, Kate was indignant.
"That bastard before should disappear in the world!" Joseph apologized, "I'm sorry Kate, I hurt you too much before. Forget those unhappy things. No matter how you punish me in the future, I'll accept it."
"I hope I'm not mistaken?" Kate looked at Joseph in surprise, "There's should be one day you apologize to me."
Joseph smiled awkwardly, and said sourly, "That depends on who I faced, otherwise how could I apologize easily?"
"Yes, yes, you are the Lord, what a cool person." Kate was somewhat complacent.
After a meal, Kate passed the milk tea shop and wanted to have a cup of hot milk tea, but Joseph stopped her, "You have a bad stomach, you can't drink it."
"You're going too far." Kate wanted to piss Joseph off, so she said deliberately, "Fortunately, I'm not your girlfriend yet. Otherwise, it's tiring to be controlled by you. "
Sure enough, Joseph frowned and asked worriedly, "Do you put me out of your potential boyfriend list?"
Seeing his nervous look, Kate smiled slyly, "How do you think?"
