Chapter 49: 49 Kate, Help!

Joseph stared at Kate, "I…"

Kate was angry, and she didn't want to explain to him, "Don't take your anger for others out on me. I want to take a walk."

I am assuming he is angry because of Anna. He deserves it! Why should I listen to him and always bear the brunt of his anger? Kate told herself.

"You don't want to get inside, do you?" Joseph said and stepped forward to help Kate stand up.

Before Kate knew what happened, she was in Joseph's arms. She subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck so that she wouldn't fall backward.

Joseph froze when he realized what an intimate moment they were having. His eyes stared at Kate's innocent face as she looked at his handsome face. She expected to see the usual cold-hearted look in his eyes, but instead, they looked safe and warm.

…

Several minutes later, they were in the house, and Amy was shocked to see Joseph carrying Kate.

"Enough?" Joseph's sudden question broke the long silence between them and snapped Kate's thoughts back to reality. She was feeling embarrassed and hope that Joseph would have put her down before any of the staff saw them. However, he carried her to their bedroom, which excited her a little.

When Joseph finally laid her on the bed, he urged, "Get some rest until you make a full recovery!"

Joseph walked out of the room and close the door gently behind him. Kate didn't know why he was being so kind. She didn't know if he was doing it for Anna, and if it was, she didn't want to accept his kindness.

The next morning, Kate's alarm went off for her to get up for work. When she rolled over, she saw Joseph getting dressed. He smiled at her and said, "I called in to get you a week's leave to stay home until your leg is better."

"What did you say?" Kate couldn't believe what she had heard. She paused for a moment and then asked, "I am feeling better, and it is almost recovered. It's no trouble for me; I can go to work as usual."

Joseph squinted at her then argued, "You would fall on the ground."

Sure enough, he did this for Anna! Kate thought.

She became furious and snapped, "Don't think you will make me forget what Anna did to me just by treating me well! I will get back to Anna when I am better."

Kate regretted what she had said because it sounded childish. Also, if Joseph knew her plan, it was pointless.

Joseph wanted to laugh at Kate and tell her that Anna was jealous of her, but instead, he said, "I have taken care of that as well."

"Of what?" Kate didn't understand what he was saying and continued to ask.

"Nothing, don't worry!" Joseph Smith didn't plan to answer her.

"Just let me know if you are in trouble," Joseph gently sighed.

Kate wanted to know more, but Joseph left the room. She was confused, replaying the conversation with Joseph over and over in her head. She didn't know what to think until she got a call from Daisy.

"Kate, I thought that Anna would be delighted after her date last night, but she came home crying," Daisy whispered.

"Crying? She shouldn't have been crying," Kate was surprised, "Shouldn't she have been happy? Now, I am even more confused."

A strange feel overwhelmed Kate when she thought of Joseph and Anna's relationship. She was curious as to what had happened on their date.

"She kept yelling and cursing, saying it was you who said nasty things about her in front of Joseph. And, that you did it all so that he would misunderstand everything on purpose."

"I didn't do no such a thing," Kate sneered then asked, "How are you doing? Are they treating you well?"

"I… I'm… fine!" Daisy stammered.

"Daisy, just tell me if you are having issues in the house," Kate sensed that things were not well for Daisy, and she was worried.

"I… I'm good… Don't worry about me; I can take care fo myself. I have something else I need to do right now, but we will talk later," Daisy said and hung up before Kate could ask anything more.

At the White mansion, Anna used a spare key to open Daisy's bedroom door. She shouted at Daisy, "Why have you been in here so long? I thought you might have been dead."

Daisy was hanging up the phone and held it tightly.

Anna stared at her, "Well, who were you talking to? Did you call Kate?! You traitor!"

"Don't accuse me of anything. I can talk to whoever I want. It is none of your business!" Daisy was not afraid of Anna, but she did not want to argue with her.

"Do you think I didn't hear what you said to Kate?" Anna held the key up and snorted with pride, "Do you really think that this is your home, and you can do whatever you want?"

"Don't you dare!" Daisy shouted.

Anna sneered, "If I didn't have a spare key for your room, how could I know that you are reporting to Kate?"

"Don't forget that this house belongs to Kate. That was Auntie's last wish," Daisy reminded Anna. She hated seeing Anna's arrogant attitude.

Anna was irritated immediately and stepped forward to push Daisy, "Flora has gone to Hell! Who cares about what she said? The hostess in this house is my mother; everything here belongs to us. And, neither of us have any connection to you!"

Daisy stumbled but got right back up to defend herself and Kate, "You can choose to forget what Auntie Flora said before she died, others will not, especially the Smiths…"

A loud slap hit Daisy across the face, and Anna continued to harass her, "Who do you think you are? How dare you yell at me? I have put up with you for too long! You will be out of this house today!"

As she yelled, Anna picked things up from Daisy's dresser and began throwing them around the room. All Daisy could hear was the sound of glass shattering; she was unable to see from the hard slap. When she was able to regain her composure, her room was completely destroyed, and she was alone.

Daisy managed to call Kate, and she immediately asked, "Daisy, why did you hang up so suddenly before?"

"Kate, help! Please come to save me!" Daisy hung up again and crouched in the corner crying hysterically.

The phone call left Kate in a panic. She quickly changed her clothes and yelled for Henry to take her to the White's.

**

Dora was in the kitchen, swearing, "I have never seen someone as shameless as her. Flora has been dead for years; she has no claim to this house. And if she did, why didn't she take the house to Hell with her?"

As soon as Kate entered the house, she heard Dora shouting. She walked up behind her and exclaimed, "Who is the shameless one?"

Dora was terrified by Kate's sudden appearance. She took a moment to calm down, then politely asked, "What bring you here, Lady Kate?"
