Alisia saw the expression on Kate's face and felt proud. However, she was still acting innocent, "Actually, I truly envy you. You have such a great boyfriend. If one day I can be as fortunate as you, I will have a perfect life!"
With a few simple words, Kate's thoughts shifted from Joseph to Alisa and her feelings toward Joseph. Kate smiled arrogantly, showing off in front of her, "You don't need to envy me. You are smart and beautiful; you will definitely meet the man of your dreams. There is only one Joseph in the world, and I was lucky to meet him. I hope you find your Mr. Right soon."
No matter how Kate felt about Alisia, she forced herself to remain calm. She thought that Alisia might be deliberately taunting her, and she was not going to fall into her trap.
"Yes," Alisia smiled sadly, "It's a pity that there is only one Joseph in this world!"
"And, by the way, you should return his coat on your own," Kate suggested.
It seemed odd to her that Alisia would bring it to Kate when she could return it herself. Kate knew the true reason she was there was only to irritate her and make her jealous to cause a conflict in her relationship with Joseph. There was no way she was going to show her any kind of emotion.
"What?" Alisia was surprised, "Don't you live with him? You can give it to him."
Kate hummed for a moment, "Yes, I could if that was the real purpose for you being here. But you are here for something else besides the coat!"
"What do you mean, Lady Kate? I don't understand," Alisia looked at Kate with uncertainty. She snapped, "I worked late last night, so Lord Joseph told me to take the day off. I was nearby, so I thought I could give it to you, hoping you would give it to Joseph."
Even with Alisia's explanation, Kate still did not believe a word she said. She nodded and told her, "I think you better give it to him."
"Okay," Alisia sighed, then cautiously put the coat back in her bag.
No matter what Alisia's real motivation was, Kate still could not forgive Joseph for lying to her.
"Lady Kate, I hope you and Lord Joseph don't quarrel over this. He only cares for me as an employee," Alisia commented.
"You are overthinking way too much. Don't be so confident," Kate sneered.
"What do you mean?" Alisia thought thinking she was just as important and might have a chance.
"I believe that my boyfriend is not so caring about his employees. I also know how important I am to him," Kate explained. She was jealous, but she could not deny his love for her.
Alisia was a little disheartened to hear she didn't upset Kate. She paused for a moment then replied, "I am so glad that you didn't misunderstand what happened."
"Project manager of JK Group."
"Are you unhappy?" Anna could clearly see she was.
"Really?" Kate patted her face and smiled reluctantly, "No…"
"Okay!" Anna handed her the files. She lit up and asked, "Are you coming home tonight? If so, I can buy more food from the supermarket."
"Not tonight," Kate said gently, even though her anger toward Joseph was raging inside.
"That is fine. You are unwilling to leave Joseph, I understand," Anna moaned.
Kate smiled, "I promise you that I will be home tomorrow! We can go to the supermarket and buy food together!"
Anna exclaimed, "Great! Then it is a deal!"
Seeing Anna so happy, Kate suddenly felt a little sorry for her. After all, she left Anna alone at home most nights. Suddenly, Daisy came to mind.

Meanwhile, it was a cloudy day in Phoenix when Daisy dragged her suitcase toward the car. The man with her showed no emotion as he opened the trunk to put her bag inside.
After getting in the rental, she asked nervously, "Samuel, are you sure I can go back to Aubi City?"
"Yes, Joseph is extremely busy every day. After when he is off work, he is with Kate. He has no time to watch over you!" Samuel snarled.
"Yes, they are in love and have no time to watch over us!"
"You should be calmer, not so impulsive. If you act as you did before, you will get nowhere," Samuel reminded her.
Daisy commented, "You too."
"Of course, I know!" Samuel accepted her advice, "I've learned my lesson after my carelessness. As I said, if we continue the same, no one can help us!"
"Oh yes! You said that your grandpa asked you to bring me back to Aubi City; what does that mean?" Daisy was very curious. She thought he was allowing her back as long as she had a stable life, controlling her temper and not interfering with Joseph and Kate. However, Samuel's words told her differently.
"I don't know what that selfish old man is thinking about. But I am willing to let him take advantage of me; it is better than being totally rejected by him," Samuel snapped when he mentioned his grandfather.
Daisy didn't have much knowledge of how the Smith family ran. The only thing she knew was the Samuel and Joseph were enemies, even long before Kate came into the picture.
"What does it have to do with me?" Daisy didn't want to be caught up in another disaster. She was grateful that Samuel was saving her, but she didn't want to be involved in his deceit.
Samuel noticed she was defensive; he looked at her and said, "Do you really plan to live like this your whole life? Are you willing to live that way? Can you actually watch Anna enjoy everything that belongs to you?"
