Chapter 103 Uncontrollable Feelings
Elizabeth arrived at the office and immediately checked her blood test results. Everything was normal.
She then handed Yosef his blood test results and walked into his office, noticing his deep frown.
Could it be that his urology results from yesterday were bad?
Yosef, unaware of Elizabeth's thoughts, felt a bit tense as he opened his blood test report. When he saw the results, he breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, everything was normal.
He put the report down and looked up to see Elizabeth with a questioning look.
"Is something wrong? By the way, my blood test results are normal," he said.
Elizabeth smiled. "That's great to hear! I just wanted to ask if Dr. Bowers is still working out for you. Do you need to switch to another doctor? If necessary, you could even see a psychologist."
Yosef stared at Elizabeth, speechless. Did she really think he was fragile enough to need a psychologist?
"No worries, I'll be fine," he said firmly.
Since Yosef seemed confident, Elizabeth didn't press further. She left his office and had just reached her desk when the phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID. It was Opal.
When she answered, Opal informed her that Armando's sister, Mindy, was here to see Yosef. Elizabeth raised an eyebrow.
"Mindy's here to see Yosef?" she asked.
"Hold on, I'll ask Mr. Sutter," Elizabeth said, then called Yosef and told him Mindy was looking for him.
Yosef was puzzled. What could Mindy want from him? They weren't close. Could it be that scheming Armando had something to discuss?
With this strange suspicion, Yosef asked Mindy to come to his office. Elizabeth informed Opal.
Opal stood up, smiling politely. "Miss Johnson, you can go up to the 18th floor."
Mindy had been anxious, unsure if Yosef would see her. Hearing Opal's words, she felt relieved and smiled. "Thank you."
She got into the elevator, pressed the button for the 18th floor, and started adjusting her skirt and checking her makeup. Mindy was pretty, with a blossoming charm.
When she reached the 18th floor and saw Elizabeth at the chief secretary's desk, she almost couldn't control her volume. "Elizabeth, what are you doing here?"
Elizabeth looked up and smiled. "I work here."
Mindy knew this wasn't the Johnson Group, so she calmed down. Her main goal today was to express her feelings to Yosef, not waste time with Elizabeth.
Elizabeth opened the door for Mindy to enter. Yosef was lounging on the sofa, legs crossed, slowly smoking. He looked up at Mindy. "Miss Johnson, what can I do for you?"
Mindy blushed at his handsome face and gathered her courage. "Yosef, I've liked you for a long time."
Yosef was silent. What? She came to TechStrong just to confess?
His face darkened. She came to him for this? If it weren't for her being part of the Johnson family, he might have just yelled at her.
He flicked his cigarette ash into the ashtray and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, I don't like you."
His blunt rejection hit Mindy hard. She felt embarrassed and hurt instantly.
Her eyes reddened. "Can I pursue you?"
Yosef didn't hesitate. "No, I hate being pestered by girls."
"Why not? I have a good family background and looks," Mindy’s eyes filled with tears as she looked at Yosef.
Yosef was silent. What kind of logic was this?
"I don't like you, no matter your background or looks."
He really disliked people who thought romance was the most important thing in life.
Yosef was blunt this time. He picked up the phone on the desk and called Elizabeth. "Miss Penrose, please escort her out."
Mindy bit her lip, blinked her tearful eyes, and turned to leave the office. As she passed Elizabeth, she glared at her.
Elizabeth was speechless. Mindy was really something else. Seeing Mindy's red eyes, it looked like she was about to cry. But why glare at her? Mindy must be crazy.
Mindy left TechStrong and went to Imperial Garden to find Sherry. Sherry had already paused her work today, preparing to welcome her engagement party in the best state.
Mindy cried her heart out.
Sherry tried to comfort her. "I knew it. He likes that seductive Elizabeth," Mindy sobbed and cursed.
"He has no taste. Mindy, stop crying," Sherry said sympathetically, though she secretly looked down on Mindy. "How do you know he likes Elizabeth?"
"I overheard Yosef telling Armando at a party that he likes Miss Penrose."
This was another reason Mindy had always disliked Elizabeth.
"Sherry, what should I do? I've liked him for so long. I don't want to give up." Mindy genuinely had a crush on Yosef. Unrequited love was painful; she really didn't want to give up.
Sherry thought that since Yosef had already rejected Mindy, she had no chance. But Sherry couldn't just tell Mindy that outright.
Mindy suddenly stopped crying. She thought of a plan. "Sherry, if I slept with him, could we be together?"
Given the Johnson family's status, if Yosef really slept with Mindy, the Sutter family would have to give the Johnson family an explanation.
Sherry hadn't expected Mindy to think this way. "Mindy, don't do anything rash. Armando will be furious," Sherry advised. Whether Mindy listened or not was none of her concern.
In the afternoon, after work, Timothy came to pick up Elizabeth.
"Are you hungry? If not, I want to take you somewhere first."
Elizabeth sent a message to Natalia about meeting tomorrow. She turned to Timothy, a bit puzzled. "Not really hungry yet. Where are we going?"
"You'll know when we get there."
"Mr. Robinson, keeping secrets now?" Elizabeth laughed.
She felt a bit excited. During rush hour in Silverlight City, the roads were often congested. The car moved slowly for forty minutes before stopping.
Elizabeth got out and looked at the villa's gate, smiling. Timothy had brought her here.
"Is the renovation done?"
"Yes." Timothy opened the door and took Elizabeth's hand to walk inside.
They had bought the house but hadn't moved in immediately. Some areas of the decor didn't suit their tastes, so they had them redone.
She looked at the remodeled areas. "Shall we go furniture shopping on Sunday?"
Elizabeth liked to decorate the house bit by bit.
"Sure."
Timothy put his arm around her shoulder and walked around the villa with her, discussing where to place things. Elizabeth occasionally noted down items to buy on her phone.
"In the study, let's have two desks, one here and one there. What do you think? Or..." She looked up, planning to ask if they should have separate studies.
But she caught Timothy's doting gaze. She couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and kiss him.
Timothy held her tightly, not letting her go. Their bodies fit perfectly together. Timothy picked her up and pressed her against the wall.
Elizabeth's back was against the wall, her slender arms wrapped around his neck.
The next morning, when she woke up, Elizabeth rubbed her waist. Timothy was a person when clothed, but a monster when undressed. Men were probably all like that.
Timothy walked into the bedroom and saw Elizabeth awake. He checked the time. "It's still early, you can sleep more." He walked over and rubbed her waist. "I'll control myself next time."
Elizabeth glanced at him. His shirt was slightly open, looking very enticing. She shyly replied, "No need to control."
She enjoyed it too. Elizabeth, always true to her desires, didn't think this was a bad thought at all.
Timothy chuckled softly. His Elizabeth Baby was too adorable.
"I'm hungry."
As soon as Elizabeth said this, she remembered how Timothy had fed her while making love last night. She coughed lightly, got out of bed, and hurried to the bathroom without looking back.
Timothy raised an eyebrow and went to the dining table to wait for her.
After Elizabeth finished breakfast, she mentioned her plans for the day to Timothy. "I'm meeting Natalia today. She said she has a secret to exchange with me."
