Who would take the risk to talk about the boss mean in front of boss himself?<\/p>\n<p>He had to answer his boss seriously, \u201cNo, absolutely not. Mr. Joseph.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph narrowed his eyes to say, \u201cReally?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>John was so nervous to have some sweat, \u201cSure\u2026of course.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>When Kathy back to the school room, Zofia was surprised to see her.<\/p>\n<p>She asked Kathy, \u201cWon\u2019t you be with him tonight?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy answered peacefully, \u201cNo, I won\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zofia watched her to say, \u201cYou are different today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was uncomfortable with her look\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Zofia continued to ask, \u201cWhat\u2019s his problem?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFracture.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh, I\u2019m sorry to hear that.\u201d Zofia expected Joseph to talk about his problem more seriously than it was; he only tried to meet Kathy in this way. But it was true that he was really hurt badly.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy said, \u201cHe has to be in hospital for days.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWill you visit him every day?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy bit her lips to answer, \u201cI\u2026I won\u2019 do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you worry about him?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo. He has nothing to do with me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is your ex-husband.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow we are off each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy did you go to see him just now?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince he is a professor in my school, I should go with my classmates.\u201d Kathy told an official reason.<\/p>\n<p>Zofia shook her head; she knew Kathy would not like to admit it. \u201cYou\u2019re right. He is your professor; you should go to take care of him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t take care of him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOk, let\u2019s see. I am sure you will go again in a couple of days.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zofia started to be sympathetic about her elder brother who had already loved Kathy deeply. Unluckily, Kathy had been fond of Joseph all the time.<\/p>\n<p>So, Zofia could not tell the truth to Bertie. If he knew about it, he would be so jealous to do anything.<\/p>\n<p>However, it still went to him finally.<\/p>\n<p>Bertie was not a friend of Joseph, neither having some business with each other\u2019s family. But they have common friends who usually passed the information between the both.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the Joseph&#8217;s Group had been frequently changed in the operation. Some big groups received the news about it before everyone got to know.<\/p>\n<p>They all understood Joseph went to hospital for a more complicated reason.<\/p>\n<p>Bertie sent a message to Zofia, \u201cHelp me take care of Kathy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zofia replied him a sticker and some words, \u201cI cannot make it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are asking for Birce\u2019s signature. Right?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>It was Saturday on the next day. The lab of the Joseph&#8217;s Group was still being rebuilt; work for the new medicine had to be done in the lab of Ocean University.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, Kathy who was arranged to make some record was excluded from the main tasks. The important jobs of the research had been assigned to the other two classmates.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, some colleagues refused to inform her about key steps and data.<\/p>\n<p>The situation was truly tough for her to go on working.<\/p>\n<p>It was definitely a waste of time to her.<\/p>\n<p>She understood it but loved to study further here.<\/p>\n<p>Stopping halfway was not her style.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy looked up with determination and said, \u201cWhat if I try my best?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Heath did not talk more and smiled. Then he said, \u201cVery good. But even if the group did not recognize you, we are classmates from the same university. By your side for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hearing it, Kathy was some of relaxed to say, \u201cI appreciate it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s go to eat. I can tell you something about the research.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Heath knew Kathy\u2019s difficulties with her own report, yet nobody from the Joseph\u2019s Group would help her.<\/p>\n<p>After the lunch, they were back to the lab. Kathy cleared some problems about her report under the help of Heath.<\/p>\n<p>However, she had to finish some trivial work assigned by the team leader and kept busy until the night time.<\/p>\n<p>Zofia called her, \u201cHey, are you still in the lab?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy frowned and answered, \u201cI am too busy now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s so late. Everyone has gone. Right?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes. I am going soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBe there for me. I am going to meet you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A moment after hanging off Zofia\u2019s call, Kathy got a call from Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>She did not answer it immediately and waited for a while.<\/p>\n<p>Then she answered the call, \u201cWhat\u2019s the matter?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph said in the call, \u201cI will change all the team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy frowned again to ask, \u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust for your information.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph was reported by John about how Kathy was treated in the team. He just did something to follow the company\u2019s philosophy of dismissing anyone who secretly gossiped about others\u2019 privacy.<\/p>\n<p>Not to mention it was about Kathy now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1019","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1019","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=1019"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
