After the whole day's meeting, Veronica got back to Zofia's room with her.
Recently, the news of Zofia dropping out of school had spread throughout the university, and Veronica
was a little sad upon hearing this.
After all, she had just been admitted to Ocean University, with an aim to stay with Zofia.
"What's your next plan?" Veronica asked with concern.
Zofia frankly said, "I want to go to University F. Recently, Joseph is helping me arrange the position of a
professor's assistant. I'll get this job smoothly."
"Assistant? You mean my brother's assistant?" Veronica raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"Not necessarily. There are so many professors at University F, right?" Zofia lowered her eyes.
"Do you still like my brother now?" Veronica asked nervously.
Pursing her lips, Zofia looked up at Veronica and slowly nodded. "Yes. After regaining my memories, I
find that the one I like is still Joseph."
"Alright. Then let me arrange for you to be my brother's assistant."
"Really?" Zofia's eyes lit up.
Veronica answered with a smile, "Of course."
"Veronica, thank you."
"My pleasure. After all, we are good friends. It's better for you to be my sister-in-law than Kathy."
...
At the suite on the top floor.
It was already late at night when Joseph finished the report for tomorrow's meeting, and John was
proofreading it from the side.
After a while, John brought over the latest schedule of the meeting.
"Isn't the meeting over in one day?"
"The business community has extended the meeting. Mr Joseph, you are asked to deliver the next
three speeches," John said with a wry smile.
"Give it to me," Joseph said coldly.
At this time, his phone rang, and the caller was Kathy.
John immediately went out.
"Kathy," Joseph answered the phone.
"You haven't rested yet?" Kathy asked, although she had already known the answer.
Every time he went on a business trip, Joseph was occupied by work until late at night.
"Yes. There are a lot of things to deal with." He pressed his temples tiredly.
"It's time for you to go to bed. Don't stay up too late." Joseph looked at the time and realized that it was
already midnight.
"I'm ready to sleep. I just want to hear your voice," Kathy said softly.
"Is there anything you want to tell me?" Joseph frowned.
Knowing her perfectly well, he could tell that she had something to say.
"Well..." she murmured.
"I won't be angry, so just be frank with me."
Kathy pouted, for she knew that he would surely be angry if she said it out.
However, even if she didn't say anything about this matter, Joseph would know it sooner or later.
"The research completed by Sonny and I has caused quite a stir after being published by Professor
Lee. It can be considered a small success. Therefore, there will be a press conference tomorrow.
Sonny and I will attend it together."
"So will you continue to participate in this research project?" Joseph grasped the key point.
Kathy bit her lips without saying anything, which could be seen as a tacit acknowledgment.
Although she hadn't agreed to Professor Lee's request, she wanted to continue with the project.
"I won't interfere with your decision, Kathy."
Kathy remained silent. She knew that Joseph always respected her every decision.
"Then do you want me to continue participating in it?"
"No," Joseph replied resolutely.
"Humph!" Her gentle tone carried a tinge of coquetry.
Thinking of Sonny's feelings towards her, Kathy also hesitated.
However, believing that she would benefit a lot from this project, she did not want to give up so easily.
Neither of them spoke. A heavy drowsiness fell upon Kathy, and she slowly closed her eyes and fell
asleep.
Joseph, on the other end of the phone, was still energetic. A smile spread across his face as he
listened to the gentle sound of her breathing.
Without hanging up, he sent her a WeChat message.
"I hope you can do whatever you want, so I will always support you."
It was not until the next morning that Kathy opened her eyes and realized that she hadn't hung up.
"Joseph," she called him after grabbing the phone over.
"I'm here." Joseph's voice was low and magnetic as usual.
Her heart beat a little faster when she heard this.
She answered in a daze, "You didn't wake me up last night."
"If you're still sleepy, sleep for a while longer."
"Are you going out?" Kathy seemed to hear him dressing.
"Yes. I'll go out in a minute."
Kathy closed her eyes, but then she suddenly opened them again.
When she called Joseph two days ago, she seemed to have heard Zofia's voice.
So ... Zofia was also in BV City?
She wanted to ask Joseph, but it didn't seem necessary.
"I'm going to the venue. I won't be able to return until three days later." Joseph took the breakfast from
John and ate in a hurry.
"Three days ... I thought it would finish in one day." Kathy rolled over in disappointment.
She missed Joseph a lot....
"Be a good girl. There will be a press conference later, so hurry up and prepare for it," Joseph
reminded.
Kathy immediately widened her eyes. It wasn't until then that she remembered this matter.
Looking at the time, she found it would start in two hours.
She immediately hung up, tidied up and went out. It was out of her expectation that Sonny was waiting
downstairs.
She wore a white shirt and trousers today, which made her look quite charming.
"I brought you breakfast," Sonny said gently.
Kathy came back to her senses and thanked him.
After coming to the lecture hall's backstage, Kathy read the speech one last time. Not long after she
finished breakfast, the press conference began.
This time, the research report she and Sonny had completed caused quite a stir in academia. However,
it was Sonny who completed most part of the report, and Kathy was merely responsible for collecting
information. Therefore, she felt that most of the honor should belong to Sonny.
After the two finished their speech, Kathy did not want to face the reporters, so it was Sonny who
answered their questions.
He was calm, confident and fascinating.
Several girls had secretly come over to take photos of Sonny. Kathy stepped to the side and felt a little
helpless when seeing those girls' intense gaze upon him.
"Sonny, I guess many girls will have a crush on you later." Kathy laughed.
This press conference was broadcast live throughout the school. It was beyond doubt that Sonny was a
handsome and eloquent man with an outstanding temperament.
"I don't care about that. I just want to continue our research," Sonny said with an affectionate look.
The smile on Kathy's face froze, which seemed somewhat unnatural.
She turned around. Because of Sonny's words, her good mood instantly dissipated.
Not long after, as Kathy had expected, a large group of girls surged towards the backstage. They were
all here to take pictures with Sonny.
Several phones were stuffed into Kathy's hands. She could tell that Sonny was already tired, but girls
kept coming for him, and even those of other universities came over.
Sonny was quite popular now.
It wasn't until noon that all the girls left. Kathy intended to go back to the dormitory, but Sonny called
her.
"We have to reply to the professor later," Sonny reminded.
"Kathy, I don't want you to give up this opportunity because we are in cooperation," Sonny said
seriously.
Kathy pursed her lips, her face slightly pale.
She looked at Sonny and remained silent for a moment.
She saw the text message sent by Joseph, in which he stated his support for her decision.
But she was a little swayed now.
