Chapter 873 Sick
Jonathan furrowed his brow, then shrugged and smiled. "Alright! Turn on the heater then. Katherine, remember to find me after your meeting!"
Katherine nodded. "If you are still around by then."
Jonathan pursed his lips. "Don't worry, I'll be here."
Then, Jonathan left the office under the guidance of Katherine's secretary.
The office quieted down, and Katherine didn't waste any time. She turned on her computer to handle work and prepare for the meeting.
The collaboration with the Mostow Group was unanimously approved by the shareholders' meeting; it wasn't Katherine's sole decision.
Although Katherine didn't like Jonathan, she was grateful for the help he had given her in the past. However, she couldn't reciprocate the kind of feelings he wanted.
So, when Jonathan proposed a collaboration with the Melville Group to develop the Silvershade Vale, Katherine agreed to suggest it to the shareholders, but she wouldn't make the final decision.
Of course, this was also because the land owned by the Mostow Group was indeed in a good location, making the collaboration valuable.
However, Katherine didn't expect that her agreement would give Jonathan a legitimate reason to pester her.
After Jonathan left, Katherine didn't dwell on it. She finished her tasks, got up to get some documents from her secretary, and headed to the large conference room for the meeting.
When Katherine came out of the meeting, it was almost lunchtime. The meeting lasted for two hours.
She wanted to return to her office to rest, but her secretary reminded her that Jonathan was still waiting for her in the reception room.
Katherine's brow furrowed immediately, "He hasn't left yet?"
The secretary nodded, "Yes, Mr. Mostow hasn't left the reception room since he went in."
Katherine looked a bit annoyed, "Didn't I ask you to turn on the heater for him?"
The secretary replied, "Yes, we did turn on the heater, but Mr. Mostow still hasn't come out of the reception room!"
'What? It's so hot, and he still hasn't left? In this heat, anyone else would have left long ago! Could Jonathan have passed out from the heat in the reception room?'
Katherine immediately headed towards the reception room.
As she opened the door, a wave of heat rushed out, and Katherine instantly broke into a fine sweat!
How could Jonathan stand this?
She stepped inside to look for him, but after looking around, she didn't see Jonathan. She thought he might have left quietly, feeling embarrassed.
Katherine sighed in relief and was about to leave when suddenly a figure jumped out and pinned her against the wall.
It was none other than Jonathan.
Unlike the well-dressed Jonathan from the morning, this Jonathan had taken off his suit and shirt, standing there bare-chested!
Katherine frowned, "Mr. Mostow, is this how your parents teach you to behave in someone else's company?"
Jonathan's shoulders were covered in sweat, adding a seductive touch to his already fit physique.
"Katherine, isn't this what you wanted?"
Katherine looked disgusted, "What do you mean? I wanted you to leave, not to wait here for me!"
Jonathan smirked, "Really? I thought you wanted me to stay here and turn on the heater to force me to take off my clothes for you to see?"
Katherine had never seen someone so shameless and delusional, "Mr. Mostow, are you always this delusional?"
Jonathan laughed nonchalantly, "Of course not! Only when it comes to you, Katherine. I don't have delusions about anyone else! Katherine, you've made me like this, you have to take responsibility!"
Katherine's face was stern and serious.
This was the Melville Group, and outside, a bunch of her employees were waiting for her, while Jonathan was here, half-naked!
"Put your clothes on first!"
Jonathan knew this tactic worked well on Katherine, so he deliberately moved closer, "I'm so hot right now! Katherine, how could you make me wear clothes in this heat? Do you want me to die from the heat?"
Katherine retorted, "If you really feel hot, you should put your clothes on and leave immediately! It's cooler outside! If you really don't want to wear clothes, you can run around naked outside for all I care! But you can't stay here, in front of me, half-naked!"
Jonathan chuckled, "Why can't I be like this in front of you? Are you afraid you can't control yourself?"
"Don't you have any dignity?"
Jonathan laughed lightly, "Katherine, we've known each other for so long, don't you know me by now? If I cared about dignity, I wouldn't be pestering you! But I can't help it, I can't sleep at night thinking about you! I've been trying not to see you lately, but I couldn't hold out past this morning, so I called you right away! And you still treat me like this. Turning on the heater in this hot weather!"
Katherine frowned, "Jonathan, I can't control what you think of me! But you should have some principles. I'm a married woman with children, what you're doing is wrong!"
Jonathan didn't care, trapping her in his arms, "I don't care! Let people say what they want, I don't care. I just want you! No matter what it takes, I'll try anything to get you!"
Katherine finally couldn't take it anymore and kicked him, "Sorry, I couldn't hold back! I shouldn't be hitting a business partner, but Mr. Mostow, what you just said was really asking for it. I advise you not to say it again! Especially in front of me, or I'll hit you every time I hear it!"
Jonathan clutched the spot where she had kicked him, groaning in pain, but then he laughed nonchalantly, "Katherine, you're really growing on me. What am I going to do about that?"
Katherine looked at him, feeling a chill run down her spine, "Mr. Mostow, do you have some kind of masochistic tendency?"
Jonathan straightened up, grabbed his shirt, and started putting it on, "Not with others, but with you, I do. The more you push me away and show no interest, the more thrilling it becomes."
Katherine said, "Then you really need help. Go see a therapist! I can't fix your issues."
"No! You can help me. You're the remedy my soul needs!"
