I can&#8217;t finish all this food\u2026\u201d Zofia Marshall deliberately pulled a chair and sat beside Kathy, then opened the take-out box.<\/p>\n<p>It smelled delicious.<\/p>\n<p>And it made Kathy\u2019s mouth watered!<\/p>\n<p>She saw that it was her favorite fried chicken in garlic soy sauce!<\/p>\n<p>Joseph knew her so well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven if you don&#8217;t eat it, he will think you do, so you might as well have some.\u201d Zofia said primly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo.\u201d Kathy is very determined, her face darkened slightly, \u201cYou shall ignore Joseph in the future. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow can I ignore him? He is a professor. Although he is not a professor of thoracic surgery, even the principal respects him in the school.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cForget it, let me throw it away. If my brother knows, he might be angry with me.\u201d Zofia thought for a while and said.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy calmed down, focusing on her homework.<\/p>\n<p>But then she remembered what Joseph said just now, as if he asked her to go to the Joseph\u2019s Group on Monday?<\/p>\n<p>She had to forget it, and she would not go!<\/p>\n<p>She should keep her busy\u2026<\/p>\n<p>The next day was Saturday, and Kathy would come to the Joseph\u2019s Group to participate in the drug development.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy got off the bus early, but she didn&#8217;t expect Herbert to be standing in front of the company. Herbert saw Kathy and walked towards her.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy ignored her.<\/p>\n<p>But Herbert stopped her and she had to stop.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat&#8217;s the matter?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI need to talk to you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGo ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Herbert squinted and looked at Kathy,\u201d Didn\u2019t you divorce Joseph? Why do you still get so close to him?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHerbert, if you want to gossip about my personal affairs, I have nothing to say.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have completely changed! You have already known what&#8217;s going on at the Herbert\u2019s group now. I need Joseph to help me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen you should talk to him directly.\u201d Kathy frowned in displeasure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wonder if it would be easier for you to talk about it?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy ignored her and walked directly into the Joseph\u2019s Group.<\/p>\n<p>Herbert said behind her, \u201cYou&#8217;ve been stigmatized for copying thesis back then, don&#8217;t you want to know who is behind it?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy stopped when she heard this.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven if I want to know, I can&#8217;t help you with the Herbert\u2019s group.\u201d Kathy said.<\/p>\n<p>She and Joseph were not as close as they used to be.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, she was happy to see the Herbert\u2019s group had trouble.<\/p>\n<p>She couldn&#8217;t forget what Herbert had done to her.<\/p>\n<p>Herbert&#8217;s eyes gradually turned red and stared at her bitterly. She turned around unwillingly, and Julian was walking towards her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Herbert&#8217;s group is going to close down, are you coming over and begging Joseph?\u201d Julian looked at her askance.<\/p>\n<p>Herbert sniffed and looked at the man in front of him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan you help me?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don&#8217;t have much status in the Joseph\u2019s Group right now. Joseph has been in the limelight recently.\u201d Julian squinted.<\/p>\n<p>Herbert knew that, of course.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou should not be so persistent since the Herbert\u2019s group has gone bankrupt. You could follow me if you leave Billy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hearing this, Herbert raised her head and looked at him in surprise.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, she and Julian were just using each other. And this man was really fathomless.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOr do that person not allow it?\u201d Julian raised his eyebrows.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course not, but I will be nobody without the Herbert&#8217;s group and the Herbert\u2019s family.\u201d Herbert said in a low voice.<\/p>\n<p>She had nothing now.<\/p>\n<p>The Herbert\u2019s group went bankrupt, and her father was seriously ill and was hospitalized. She almost couldn\u2019t afford her father\u2019s medical expenses.<\/p>\n<p>But he heard a response that the phone had been turned off.<\/p>\n<p>He immediately ordered John to call the staff of the engineering department and pull up the surveillance video on this floor.<\/p>\n<p>However, this floor had been without power since the afternoon, and all the equipment couldn&#8217;t run. Now they had to reconnect the electricity to open the door, but the circuit had been severely damaged.<\/p>\n<p>The reason\u2026was still under investigation.<\/p>\n<p>When John finished reporting, he was too scared to lift his head.<\/p>\n<p>The Joseph&#8217;s Group had a strict punch card system, and Kathy didn&#8217;t have a record of leaving.<\/p>\n<p>And the other colleagues involved in research and development left an hour ago.<\/p>\n<p>He was afraid&#8230;&#8230; Kathy was still in there.<\/p>\n<p>Now some staff of the engineering department was connecting the electricity, and the others was trying to pry open the glass door.  But Joseph couldn&#8217;t wait a minute, so he took the hammer directly next to him, and smashed it down hard.<\/p>\n<p>The next second, he stepped into the lab, ignoring the debris all around him.<\/p>\n<p>All the staff were all looking at each other in dismay. Joseph was extremely angry just now, and almost flying into a howling rage.<\/p>\n<p>It was the first time they had seen Joseph like this&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Joseph turned on the phone&#8217;s flashlight because of the power outage. But passing through every door required fingerprint verification, and it became much more cumbersome without electricity.<\/p>\n<p>Behind him, an employee came in with a hammer and smashed the door one by one.<\/p>\n<p>The very presence of Joseph made the others stressed. Narrowing his black eyes, Joseph was shining on everywhere with his cell phone, but he never saw Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>They came to the last room.<\/p>\n<p>The room was not usually open, and its door was not a glass door, but an iron door.<\/p>\n<p>The staff of the engineering department were all in dilemma.<\/p>\n<p>The lab were specially designed, and glass doors were not easy to break.  And this iron door could only rely on fingerprint authentication to open after the current was switched on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Joseph\u2026\u201d The engineering manager gingerly looked at Joseph on the side.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow long will it take to get power on?\u201d Joseph asked expressionlessly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHalf an hour\u2026\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph breathed deeply, stared at the door, and shouted, \u201cKathy! \u201c<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1009","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1009","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1009"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
