My Sweetheart

Chapter 70 Innocent

Joseph was sitting at the corner, wearing a white shirt and black trousers. His powerful aura couldn’t be concealed and he was always the spotlight among the people.

Sitting next to him were a few men in years dressing in suits. They should be senior executive ranking individuals.

Johnson greeted them when he came in. Kathy found that they were the high ups from Gorfield Medical Company.

Gorfield Medical Company was exactly the company she was suspected of leaking information to.

Kathy and Alexia sat quietly on the other side. As Johnson’s secretary, Joanne had been serving winc beside him.

The CEO of Gorfield was young, only in his forties, he was chatting with Johnson.

When they mentioned about the leaking of NCHV’s proposal, Joanne unintentionally shuddered and accidentally spilled the wine.

Johnson’s shirt was stained by wine, although Joanne apologized immediately, Johnson was irritated.

“Come out with me.” Johnson’s face sank and he instructed Alexia to buy him a new shirt when he passed by her.

The room left only a woman who was Kathy. On the opposite side, Joseph was talking to a young man, but his gaze stayed on Kathy.

Kathy frowned and avoided his gaze.”

“Miss Kathy, do you want to try some?” A man sat beside her, he was Gorfield’s CEO’s assistant, Gabriel Harold.

Kathy looked at the light blue liquid, although it was a cocktail, the alcohol content was not low.

She then shook her hand, “I’m not very good at drinking.”

“It tasted sweet. Since you come with Mr Johnson, don’t tell me you are here just for display?” Gabriel’s tone deepened.

Kathy was placed in difficult position. She also didn’t know why did Johnson bring her over.

“Since you are being so disrespectful, that’s fine. I thought the people around Johnson would know how to behave smartly, seems like it is really just a pretty face.”

Kathy was provoked by his words, it’s obvious that she couldn’t avoid drinking when she came here. So she took a deep breath and took the wine glass.

Gabriel was pleased, “Not bad.”

Gabriel then kept talking to her, but Kathy wasn’t paying attention, her attention was involuntarily drawn to Joseph…but she didn’t dare to look at him.

Johnson returned with a clean shirt and got back to his seat, only that the person next to him was Alexia.

Joanne sat next to Kathy.

At that moment, a man came into the room, he was the head of marketing department of Gorfield. His eyes was bit doubtful when he saw Joanne.

“Here are a few employees from NCHV who were in charge of the marketing proposal. Who was the one who had made a deal with you?” The CEO narrowed his eyes, it was obvious that he had investigated secretly.

The man frowned, her gaze falling on Joanne paused, and then looked at Kathy who was beside her.

“Miss Kathy.” He spoke with a deep voice.

Kathy was baffled, this was the first time she’d seen this man.

“Kathy, what did you say?” Johnson took a sip on his cigarette, his sharp eyes narrowed.

“I don’t know this guy! I didn’t make a deal with him!”

With a worried look on Alexia’s face, she tried to speak, but she was stopped by Johnson.

“Sam, tell the whole story specifically.”

“She gave me the information at Yolk Café located Lyan District on 20th of last month.” Sam spoke.

“Kathy, where were you that day?” Johnson asked.

Kathy frowned, it was already more than half month ago, that day was weekend.

If she wasn’t mistaken, she was with Joseph who brought her to see the bridal room…

But could she say it out…

She looked at Joseph and paused,” I went to see my new house that day at Joseph Bay, I didn’t go to Lyan District.”

“I have taken out the video record of Yolk Café on 20th last month.” Joseph’s slender fingers were tapping on the tablet, and soon the image was clearly displayed.

The one who was negotiating with Sam was Joanne.

Joanne’s face had already turned pale, looking at the video unbelievably, how could it be…

“It wasn’t me…” Joanne denied subconsciously.

Sam lowered his head and walked towards the Gorfield’s CEO respectfully,” Boss, I did a mistake because I couldn’t resist the temptation.”

Kathy was completely relieved, gratefully looked towards Joseph.

Was he the one who helped her in the investigation?

Joseph’s face were calm as usual, without a single trace of fluctuation on his face.

It was hard to see through him like that.

Johnson had already called the police, Joanne was one of the suspects, he had already collected a lot of evidence beforehand, and this was the only step left.

“Mr Johnson!” Joanne ran over recklessly, but she was blocked away by Alexia.

“You bitch, don’t you dare to touch Johnson!” Alexia opened her arms, trying to be protect Joseph.

Johnson snickered without anyone noticed.

“I…I’m just irritated by Kathy, please forgive me this time…”

“Joanne, you are the one who keep getting in my way.” Kathy’s face straighten \, her tone was extremely cold. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“I didn’t…Kathy, I dare you to say that you have never seduced Johnson!”

Kathy was stunned, seduced Johnson?

Where did all these came from? This woman must be nuts.

At that moment, Kathy clearly felt cold gaze coming from the back, making her stiffened.

“I didn’t, or else, ask Johnson who’s the one who seduced him?” Kathy lifted her lips, not feeling guilty at all.

Johnson’s arm was pinched by Alexia at some point, his eyebrows knitted when the pain hit him.

“Regardless of whether Kathy had seduced me or not, you had committed crime, I will deal with it impartially.”

Joanne bit her lips deadly and was soon taken away.

The people for Gorfield left soon after. The two company officially started working together after picking out the traitors.

Kathy was still a little confused as Johnson didn’t clarify their relationship.

She had never approach Johnson, and she unintentionally looked towards Johnson.

This gaze caused Joseph’s aura grew even colder.

Johnson suddenly smiled and waved his hand towards Kathy, “Kathy, sit over here.”

Kathy’s scalp was numb, even without looking at Joseph she could imagine how terrifying his eyes were.

But she couldn’t disobey Johnson as he was her boss.

“Mr Johnson, thanks for trusting me and look into this matter.” The corner of her mouth curved up and slowly walked over.

“Show your gratitude to him, I’m paid to clear this mess…”

“…”

Kathy was at least two meters away from Joseph, everyone in the room had left, and there was no one else between them.

Looking at Kathy’s awkwardness, Alexia quickly dragged Johnson out. The two of them were practically hugging each other. Did she miss to catch up Alexia’s latest relationship status?

The sight behind of her grew even colder when she was in her own thought.

Kathy quickly turned over and tittered at Joseph. Just when she was half step away from Joseph, her wrist was grabbed by him and she fell into his arms.

Being surrounded under the familiar masculine breath, her face was pinched by Joseph, which was quite painful.
