Chapter 1141 I Want to Work

Kimberly froze, not expecting Joseph to say that. She grabbed her skirt. She felt both humiliated and embarrassed. Yet, despite how awkward it was, she refused to leave. "Is ... is this really how you feel?" Kimberly's voice trembled. She looked up at Joseph with glistening eyes. Joseph sighed. "Miss Lore, we are all adults here. I don't want to make things uglier than it has to be." He couldn't be any clearer with his feelings. He simply didn't like her. Kimberly bit her lip. She should have known earlier. He had been avoiding her all this time. Wasn't that an explanation in itself? However, there was something she couldn't wrap her head around. Why wasn't she enough? Why didn't he like her? "I want to know ..." Kimberly trailed off. She took a deep breath and forced a sweet smile. "I understand." She didn't want to know. She knew she wouldn't like the answer. She was the daughter of the Lore family, noble and distinguished. Why should she humiliate herself in front of him?
