Chapter 155: 155 Two Rivals

"It's okay," Lisa said excitedly, "Kate, I had to call you and tell you that business at the tea shop has been overwhelming today. I am thrilled but I am tired, if this happens every day, I will have to hire someone to help me."

"That is great news!" Kate was glad to hear Lisa's business was improving.

"What's wrong? You sound unhappy."

"No, just some insignificant work."

"I understand, my work seems easy, I just want to have more customers. Your business is very complex and you have to think about so many different things, every single day," Lisa encouraged, "Kate, everything will be fine after you have more experience. You will have no difficulties!"

"I know," Kate sighed.

"I want to treat you and Joseph dinner tonight," Lisa was feeling guilty for enticing Kate to get drunk with her.

"Okay, I will ask if he is free tonight and let you know!"

"That is perfect! Just let me know and I will send you the details," Lisa replied.

Kate hung up with Lisa and texted Joseph, she didn't want him to hear the unhappiness in her voice. He quickly replied that he was available so she told Lisa. Kate was wondering what Joseph was doing, but she stopped herself from asking. She was afraid they might talk too long and it would affect both of their schedules.

At JK Group, John spoke to Joseph, "This is the current situation…"

After listening to John's report, Joseph suddenly frowned and looked deep in thought. He demanded, "Take back the item at a higher price. If the other party still refuses to agree, we will make other plans."

"But our company has just been established. If we spend so much money to support..."

Before John finished speaking, he was interrupted by Joseph, "Just do as I said."

"Uh... okay," John realized Joseph's intentions and added, "I think it worthwhile to use so much money to help Lady Kate get her project back."

John had become aware that there was nothing more important to Joseph than Kate.

Joseph reminded him, "This is a secret between us. Don't let Lady Kate know!"

John promised immediately, "Don't worry, I will ensure everything is done properly."

Glancing at the time, Joseph grabbed his jacket and left to pick up Kate at her office. About twenty minutes later, he arrived at Kate's door, she was looking through documents and didn't notice him. He didn't want to startle her so he knocked softly.

"Please come in," Kate looked up. Seeing that it was Joseph, she was very surprised, "Why are you here?"

"You asked about having dinner tonight?"

"Okay," He leaned against her desk, watching until she was out of sight. He quickly started reading the documents she was inspecting.  

"I'm ready," Kate exclaimed but when she was that Joseph was reading the files, she frowned, "What is wrong?"

"I heard that you were going to sign the contract for this project? Why are you changing the plan?" Joseph pretended not to know she lost the contract.

Kate quickly made an excuse, "It is for study purposes. As you know, I am not a professional, so any extra practice is good for me."

Joseph nodded, rather than telling her he knew the truth. He smiled and said, "Let's go!"

As Joseph and Kate walked down the street, she noticed everything seemed to be more beautiful than it had been days before. When they arrived at the restaurant, Lisa and Rowen were already waiting for them.

Rowen did not have confirmation that Kate and Joseph were dating. Even though Joseph told him that he was Kate's boyfriend, Rowen did not believe him. He was not going to believe anything until Kate told him in person.

Lisa was aware that Rowen liked Kate but she thought he would see Kate and Joseph together soon enough, so she did not want to discourage him. When he saw them walk in holding hands, he froze and stared off into space.

"Kate, and Mr. Smith, please sit down!" Lisa got up and greeted them warmly.

"Must I sit here? I want to sit with you," Kate smiled.

"No, you and Mr. Smith are in love now. I can't separate you," Lisa teased.

Kate and Joseph sat on one side of the table, and Lisa and Rowen sat on the other, to an outsider it looked as if they were on a double date. However, it was just an appearance.

When Joseph saw Rowen, his eyes flashed with unpleasantness yet he smiled politely. He was happy to hear Lisa's comment, it was a reminder that Kate had a boyfriend.

"Rowen, what are you thinking about?" Seeing Rowen not saying a word, Lisa elbowed him.

Rowen returned to his senses, glanced over Joseph, and then looked at Kate, "Are you together again?"

"Yes," Kate nodded shyly, with overwhelming happiness on her face.

Rowen forced a smile and said "Congratulations!"

"Thank you," Kate didn't sense anything wrong with Rowen, but Joseph and Lisa could see his anger. Seeing the woman, he loved with another man, Rowen must have been hurt, especially needing to sit there with them.

In order not to embarrass him, Lisa held up a glass of wine and thanked him, "Rowen, thank you for taking care of me when I was drunk. In my entire life, I have never met a man like you."

Lisa finished the glass of wine, followed by Rowen to ease his bad mood.

"You are drinking before you eat? You should know not to drink on an empty stomach. Please wait until the food is served, okay?" Kate said, shocked by their actions.
