Kathy smiled, “How could there be so much tears?”
Bertie looked at her intently, Kathy had been so wounded ever since she came out from the hospital.
He frowned, perhaps Kathy found out about something…
But at this moment, he dared not to ask.
Kathy always liked spicy food, but ever since Alexia left City N she had almost never had it again. This
time she ate to her heart’s content. Watching Bertie ate until he was sweaty as well, Kathy passed him
a tissue.
“I rarely have any friend who can tolerate so much of spiciness,” Kathy said.
Even Zofia almost never ate spicy food.
Bertie’s lip curled, “Then when you crave spicy food afterwards, you can always find me, I’ll always be
there.”
Hearing this, Kathy’s expression froze.
Although she had turned Bertie down for many times, she knew that he never gave up.
After a long while, she put down her chopsticks, “I’m together with Joseph now, although he too doesn’t
like spicy food, but I’ll accompany him to have something else.”
Hearing this, Bertie stunned.
Together?
These words coming from Kathy’s mouth were really cruel to him.
He was trying his best to control his anger.
“When did this happen?”
“Not long ago.”
“Alright, you have my best wishes,” these words of Bertie were half true and half false.
“Thank you, thank you for what you did today.”
She returned the coat to Bertie and Kathy went to pay voluntarily. But when she came out, she saw
Joseph coming out of the restaurant opposite.
This mall was located nearby the Joseph group.
Kathy was surprised and she halted in her footsteps.
But Bertie’s hand was on Kathy’s shoulder, and she had not realised it at the moment.
When Joseph’s eyes swept towards here, he saw the two being close.
He stopped in his steps and ordered for the managers to leave first, while he walked towards this
direction.
“Why are you here?” Joseph came close, he did not look at Bertie at all.
He held onto Kathy’s hand naturally.
“I was just here to have my meal coincidentally, and I’m going back to campus now,” Kathy lowered her
head.
She felt some anger coming from Joseph’s expression.
Was it because she was eating with Bertie?
“Bertie, I’ll leave first, I have troubled you today,” Kathy took the initiative and said.
As she said so, she put her arm around Joseph’s.
Bertie’s hand hung mid-air, the disappointment in his eyes flashed.
The aura around Joseph turned colder.
Kathy raised her eyes, she was a little scared.
His expression looked even darker when he did not speak.
But normally when Joseph was with her, he was always a gentleman.
“Joseph,” she called to him.
“Yes,” Joseph’s expression was indifferent.
“Joseph.”
“Yes.”
Kathy frowned and stopped in her steps.
She put her arms around Joseph’s waist, and tipped on her toes. This man was a little fierce…
“You’re angry,” Kathy said in confirmation.
“Yes.”
Kathy was speechless.
Could this man not say anything more?
She took a deep breath and a smile came onto Kathy’s face, “Joseph, why are you angry?”
“You’re having a meal with another man.”
He did not like it, did not like it at all.
When he saw Kathy and Bertie coming out together, he was about to go nuts.
She was his woman.
His arm wrapped around Kathy’s slim waist as he lifted her chin, his eyes darkened.
“I just met Bertie by coincidence.”
“Where did you meet him?”
Kathy was silent and only spoke after a while, “At the hospital of Ocean University.”
“Ocean University’s not near here,” Joseph exposed her.
“I can still come here though. Joseph, there’s nothing between him and I. Bertie knows that we’re
together, I just had a meal with him,” Kathy hugged him, and brushed against his chest affectionately.
Just that, Joseph was not impressed at all.
Kathy was annoyed.
Joseph was rarely angry at her, she did not know how to woo him like this now.
“Stop being so jealous, I’ll just never eat with him again.”
“I wasn’t jealous,” Joseph’s expression darkened even further, and he refused to admit at all.
Kathy could not help but smile, she lifted her hand and pinched Joseph in the face.
“You’re just being jealous, Dr Joseph, Professor Joseph, Mr Joseph… Stop being jealous, alright…”
Kathy’s voice was soft and sweet, she was trying to woo him.
Joseph looked at Kathy who was trying to please him, and after a while only his tightened expression
relaxed for a bit, “Kathy, I’m just worried about you.”
He held onto her tightly.
“What are you worried about me for?”
“Everything.”
He could not explain it, but he would always be worried when Kathy was not by his side.
Coming to Ocean University, the two went straight to Joseph’s office.
But Kathy let go of Joseph’s hand.
Joseph’s expression darkened immediately.
“Come here.”
The distance between Kathy and him was already half a meter.
“No, you’re a professor and I’m a student,” Kathy said seriously.
“You’re my woman.”
Kathy felt sweetness in her heart, but since there were so many students around here she still did not
dare.
“Joseph, be proper!”
“You don’t want to expose our relationship?” Joseph looked at her.
Actually he was not an official professor of the university, he only taught under the special invitation and
thus there was no constraint on him of any sort.
But since it was related to Kathy, he understood her worries.
“Of course, I only want to peacefully finish my postgraduate degree.”
When she was doing her undergraduate degree she had been in a relationship with Peter. Perhaps it
was because they were too high key, and what happened after almost broke her.
She only wanted to protect this relationship carefully.
Although it was only for three years.
Looking at Joseph’s gaze, the affection in her eyes wandered.
“Keep looking at me like this and I will want to kiss you forcefully,” Joseph’s thin lips were curved into a
smile.
Kathy bit her lip in frustration and she immediately diverted her gaze.
The winter sun on campus dragged the shadows of the two longer.
The thermostat was on in the office, and Kathy finally felt warmer.
Looking at the man’s handsome sideview, Kathy again began to be distracted slowly.
Until there was a pang of pain on her head, and Kathy made a sound of “ow”.
“It hurts!”
“Focus on the lesson.”
“I am focused!” Kathy rebutted blatantly.
She was indeed very serious, but Joseph was too good looking! Too good looking!
“You’re not allowed to look at me, look at your book instead,” Joseph frowned.
He had hoped that Kathy could go back to rest earlier, but he also wanted to stay with her for a while
longer.
“Okay,” Kathy responded obediently.
Time passed quickly, when she finished the last exercises, Kathy heaved a sigh of relief.
Joseph was by her side, and it was causing her to feel more pressured.
But she was a fast learner.
“You’re tutoring me like this, and it wasted your precious time, do I have to pay you any tutoring fees?”
Kathy always felt so guilty.
Since for a businessman like Joseph, every minute was worth hundreds of millions.
Yet he was so patient in tutoring her.
“Tutoring fees?” Joseph raised his eyebrow and helped her to pack her bag. The next moment, Kathy
was pressed onto the couch by him.
Looking at the handsome face so close to hers, Kathy held her breath on instinct.
“I prefer practical returns,” Joseph smiled deeply.
