"Sonny." Kathy's face darkened.
"Alright, I'll stop. Where is Jeremy?" Sonny frowned.
Currently, there were altogether three people participating in the research. Jeremy was one of them. He
was also a PhD student in surgery.
Just as Sonny finished speaking, Jeremy arrived. He was wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses and
his skin was fairer than most people. And he somehow looked weak.
He was also Professor Lee's student. Previously, he was studying on the campus in Country F. Now he
had moved here along with Professor Lee.
"In a sense, I am your senior." Jeremy smiled, but his smile somehow gave Kathy a kind of creeping
feeling.
"Hello, I'm Sonny. This is Kathy." Sonny greeted Jeremy and introduced himself and Kathy to Jeremy.
Soon they got familiar with each other. Then they quickly devoted themselves to the research.
Obviously, because one more classmate was around, Kathy felt less anxious. Kathy didn't leave the
laboratory until it was dark.
At this time, in the teacher's office.
Joseph was looking at the computer. Zofia had finished her work. But because Joseph didn't leave, she
did not leave, either.
Involuntarily, her gaze fell on Joseph. And gradually, increased infatuation appeared in her eyes.
She felt Joseph was simply too attractive.
Suddenly, Joseph raised his head. Zofia tried to withdraw her gaze. But it was too late. Joseph saw her.
"Professor Joseph." Zofia smiled.
Joseph's expression was still serious. "You can get off work now."
"What about you?"
"I still have something to deal with."
"Let me help you. I'm your assistant now." Zofia frowned.
"Zofia, I'm your leader now. Just do what I said!"
Zofia lowered her eyes. Although she was reluctant, she still left the office.
When she walked out, she saw Kathy walking this way. Obviously, Kathy was here for Joseph.
They walked past each other and neither of them felt the need to greet each other.
Joseph was standing by the window. So he saw what had happened clearly.
"Joseph, Zofia is your assistant now?"
"Yes." Joseph nodded.
"If I don't know about this, are you planning on not telling me?" Kathy said grimly.
Joseph hugged her shoulder and bent down to look at her. "I don't know how to tell you."
Kathy and Zofia had split off.
However, for the time being, Zofia could only stay here.
"You think I'll get angry?" Kathy raised her head.
"You won't," Joseph said in a deep voice.
"That's right. Then what made you keep this as a secret?"
"I don't want you to feel uncomfortable," Joseph said in a doting tone.
It hurt him to see Kathy being unhappy.
"I won't feel that bad ... but why her?"
"It was arranged by superiors."
"I think you are also a superior." Kathy knew that Joseph was quite powerful.
She felt there was nothing he couldn't do.
"I'm not." Joseph smiled faintly.
Kathy didn't believe his words.
Otherwise, how could it be so easy for Joseph to work in University F?
"Kathy, I will find a more suitable job for Zofia. If things go well, you won't see her here in the next
semester."
"No need to do so. I believe you." Kathy said firmly.
She didn't think that Zofia could harm their relationships.
...
On the weekend, Jennifer returned to the City N from a business trip. So Kathy and Joseph went to the
Booth Mansion.
"Kathy, the study please." Jennifer asked Kathy to go to the study with her.
Kathy frowned. She thought that Jennifer wanted to tell her something about the Booth Group.
However, what happened was beyond her expectation. Her mother handed the tablet computer to her.
She saw a report about her and Sonny. The report was about the press conference three days ago that
they both attended.
She took a glance and was attracted by the words "a straight-A couple".
In the photo, Sonny was looking at her affectionately. A reporter caught this scene. And it was reported
in exaggeration. According to the report, she and Sonny were in love.
Kathy didn't see much news these days, so she didn't know about it.
She checked other related reports. The contents were quite similar. It was reported that an intelligent
couple (she and Sonny) was doing an important research that had caught the attention of the entire
academic circle.
"Mom..."
"Kathy, what's going on? Does Joseph know about this?"
"Nothing is going on between me and Sonny. We are just classmates." Kathy frowned.
"I think this Sonny likes you very much."
The way Sonny looked at Kathy made all the reports so real. His gaze made people believe that he did
like Kathy.
For a moment, Kathy didn't know how to explain.
"I don't know." She said irritably.
"Alright. I am just asking. I thought something got between you and Joseph."
"We are fine. Mom, don't worry."
"Okay. But I heard that the Joseph Group is facing a bad situation. Many enterprises are attacking the
Joseph Group."
Jennifer knew everything about the business world.
"I only know that the Bridges Group is directing at the Joseph Group."
"There are also other enterprises. But the Joseph Group has a solid foundation. There's no need to
worry too much."
They chatted for a while before they went downstairs. Joseph was in the garden. Recently, Jennifer got
a Chinchilla, which was running around at Joseph's feet.
Kathy did not like animals too much. But when the kitten ran over, she felt her heart had melted for it.
After she squatted down, the little kitten directly rushed into her arms and she felt so great.
"Wow, so cute." Kathy rubbed the cat's hair gently.
"Like it? I'll buy you one." Joseph walked over and squatted beside Kathy.
"No, I don't want a kitten. I live in the dormitory, and I don't have much time for it." Kathy shook her
head.
As a doctor, her time was destined to be devoted to the patients.
"Then put it in the Joseph Bay. The servants can take care of it."
"Give me some time to think about it. But I do enjoy only the two of us being together." Kathy shook her
head again.
She did not mind raising a kitten. But things always went unexpectedly. She was afraid that if anything
happened to the cat, she would not be able to bear the loss. And she would be very sad.
"Whatever you want." Holding Kathy's hand, Joseph returned to the villa with Kathy. Usually, they
would stay in the Booth Mansion for one night. However, Kathy had got some research work to do
tomorrow morning. So she had to return to University F. Otherwise, she might not be able to make it
tomorrow.
Not long after Kathy left, a black car stopped at the entrance of the Booth Mansion.
A mature man got out of the car and walked into the villa. It seemed he was quite familiar with this
place.
"What brings you here?" Jennifer looked at him in surprise.
"I miss you, baby."
Jennifer smiled and hugged the man. She tiptoed and kissed his beard. "I miss you too. Shouldn't you
be in Country C?"
"I've been in the City N recently. The Bridges won't know my whereabouts."
"So, you're staying with me?"
"Aren't you afraid that Kathy will return at some moment?"
"She just left. It will be a long time before she comes back next time." Jennifer said dejectedly.
"Well, then I'll stay with you tonight..."
