"Lord Joseph, it is freezing out and if you catch a cold, Kate will be unhappy."
"Okay," Joseph said hesitantly, then walked into the living room and sat on the sofa.
Daisy brought him a cup of coffee and asked nervously, "Did you have breakfast yet, Lord Joseph? Would you like something? I can have it made for you, I will have to make Kate's breakfast anyway."
"I am planning on taking her out to eat," Joseph explained.
"Oh... that's great," Daisy didn't question any further. After all, she was not close to Joseph, even when he and Kate were married. She had always been a little afraid of him but her biggest concern was that Anna did not wake up before they left. Although Anna supposedly lost her memory, Daisy knew it could still affect Joseph and Kate's relationship. Kate usually got ready quickly but she was really slow Daisy thought, in a panic, she said, "Lord Joseph, just wait a few more minutes. I will go see if Kate is okay."
When Kate heard the knock on her door, she felt even more anxious. She yelled, "I will be ready soon!"
"Kate, can I come in?" Daisy asked.
Kate was still rushing around to find something to wear. She opened the door for Daisy and then slammed it shut again.
"What's the matter?" Daisy was confused.
"Which one looks best?" Kate held up two blazers and asked nervously.
Daisy tried not to laugh but she was very amused by Kate's actions. Pointing at the outfits, Daisy chuckled, "You have been looking for something to wear this long? They are the same, just different colors!"
"Don't laugh at me, Daisy. This is my first official day being in a relationship with Joseph. This sounds silly since we were married, but he didn't love me then. Now, it's different! We are in love so I have to dress up!"
"I understand," Daisy stopped laughing. She glanced at all the clothes on Kate's bed and picked out a beige sweater, khaki pants, a white shirt and a pair of simple high heels, "Here try these!"
Kate changed and spun around for Daisy to see.
"Amazing! You look very smart and beautiful!" Daisy looked at her from top to bottom and praised.
Standing in front of the mirror, Kate asked again, "But it doesn't look girly. What if Joseph doesn't like it?"
"My dear!" Daisy rolled her eyes and reminded Kate, "If you keep wasting all of this time on clothes, you will have no time for breakfast and then you will be late for work!"
"Oh yes, I forgot I have to go to work today!" Kate grabbed her purse and rushed toward the stairs.
When Joseph heard footsteps, he got up and immediately saw Kate coming down the stairs. He smiled and said, "Are you ready?"
"Yeah…" She nodded awkwardly and apologized, "I'm sorry, I kept you waiting so long."
"It's okay," Joseph looked at her and smiled again, "Today's outfit is different than your usual."
Kate blushed, she usually wore casual clothing, but her outfit was more professional. She looked up and noticed that Joseph was also wearing a beige sweater.
Will he think that I chose this sweater so that we match? But even if I did, it is okay because we are in love. Daisy does have good taste, I like this outfit.
Kate thought.
"By the way," Kate called to Joseph as he walked toward the door.
Joseph stopped, "Did you forget something?"
"No," She rubbed her hands nervously and asked in a low voice, "Do you like what I am wearing today?"
Joseph said what she was wearing was different than usual but did not elaborate, making Kate feel very self-conscious.
"You care about my opinion?" Joseph asked.
"No," Kate shook head try to deny she did care, "I was curious about which styles you like."
"That is what I asked. You do care about my opinion," Joseph smirked.
"If you don't like it, I can change," Kate felt conflicted. She didn't want to change for him, but she did care about what he liked and disliked.
Joseph touched her cheek softly and replied, "I love you as a person, no matter what you wear."
"Don't give me that kind of answer," Kate snapped.
Joseph pretended to look her up and down, "I think it is a very good choice. You are the head of White Group now, you should look professional to convince others. More importantly, we match, so, yes, I like it very much!"
"Thank you for the compliment. I am satisfied now," Kate was relieved.
Seeing how nervous Kate was, Joseph was confused, "We are dating but we have known each other for a long time. Why are you so nervous?"
"It may not be the first day we met; it is the first day I am your girlfriend though. We should get to know each other from the beginning," Kate said seriously.
To Joseph, it was a good thing that she was taking their love seriously. He thought it was cute and it proved to him that she thought their love was as important as he did.
"Should I tell my mom about us?" Joseph asked.
"Not now," Kate thought for a while and shook her head.
"Why?" Joseph could not understand, "We've decided we are in a relationship. Why keep it from her? If she knows that we are back together, she would be very happy and it might help her to recover."
"That is the reason, I don't want to tell her, and then possibly disappoint her. I want to wait until we are stable. I am still worried that we may break up," Kate whispered. She had decided to forgive Joseph, yet she was still prepared for the worst.
Joseph frowned and looked her in the eyes, "We will never break up, never ever."
Kate said, "Sometimes when we are not as confident about things, something unexpected happens. Regardless, I will cherish our love this time."
