My Sweetheart

Chapter 308 You Still Like Joseph

City N, Joseph Group

Julian was so angry he pushed open the door to the president’s office and demanded, “Why did you cut my program?”

Joseph furrowed his brow, lifted his gaze, and said sharply, “I said as much in the meeting. The budget is not enough.”

“The budget isn’t enough, or you just don’t want to let me to take charge of this project?”

“You think I need to do that?”

“If the budget isn’t enough, I can transfer funds from overseas investment.”

Evenly Joseph replied, “Only Grandfather can do that. You’d need his permission.”

“I’ll make him agree!”

Joseph smiled coldly.

After Julian left, John came in. Lately the boss had him keeping track of Kathy’s comings and goings, but after leaving the Booth home, there’d been no trace of her. “Sir,” he reported, “we’re unable to ascertain Miss Kathy’s whereabouts.”

Joseph furrowed his brow, took out his phone, and dialed that familiar number, only to hear, “The number you have dialed is not in service.”

Joseph gripped his phone tightly, his face equally tight. The people Kathy had come into contact with in B Country weren’t so many. “Check out Bertie Marshall and Billy Hilton.”

John did as instructed, returning later to report, “Sir, Billy returned to City N yesterday, and has been at home ever since. Whereas Bertie is at his family home, and there’s not yet any sign of this missus.”

“Keep an eye on him, and book me a ticket to B Country.”
