I have to study!&#8221; Ella was looking for an excuse.<\/p>\n<p>Veronica looked at Ella&#8217;s nervous expression, and she thought to herself that Ella liked her brother a lot!<\/p>\n<p>However, it was obvious that her brother did not have her in his eyes at all.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Go back to the apartment and study on your own.&#8221; Joseph did not give her a chance to refuse again.<\/p>\n<p>He had to go back to The Joseph Group. He had to send Ella back to her apartment first and worked overtime at the Joseph Group at night.<\/p>\n<p>When Kathy received a phone call from the head of the R&amp;D department, she was just about to leave the hospital. There was a problem with yesterday&#8217;s report, no one was available at the time, and Kathy was needed to go over to the Joseph Group to modify it.<\/p>\n<p>The idea of going over to the Joseph Group was something that Kathy resisted.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the research report would directly be received by Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>That could mean that Kathy needed to meet Joseph personally.<\/p>\n<p>After a while, Kathy finally arrived at the top floor of the Joseph Group.<\/p>\n<p>It was Sunday, there were not many people there, and the whole building was somewhat quiet.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Miss Kathy, you&#8217;re here.&#8221; John was waiting at the door.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy handed the report to John, &#8220;Assistant John, this is what I&#8217;ve already modified, please hand it in for me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>John showed a troubled look, &#8220;Miss Kathy, I think Mr Joseph will have some comments about it, it&#8217;s safer for you to take it in yourself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Then tell me what he said after that.&#8221; Kathy&#8217;s attitude was resistant.<\/p>\n<p>When she thought that Joseph had trapped her in the office yesterday, she was very resistant.<\/p>\n<p>In the office, Joseph had long been watching the surveillance outside.<\/p>\n<p>His sight was on Kathy&#8217;s wrinkled face, and his thin lips gradually pursed.<\/p>\n<p>When John came in, he felt the cold aura around the boss.<\/p>\n<p>John could only hand the report over forcefully, &#8220;Mr Joseph, this is the report that&#8230; Miss Kathy has modified.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Okay.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>John thought the boss would ask Kathy to enter, but he didn&#8217;t. Joseph let John leave the room after reading it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Can I go back now?&#8221; Kathy asked.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It should be okay, Mr Joseph didn&#8217;t say anything else.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kathy turned around almost immediately as if she didn&#8217;t want to stay there for a second.<\/p>\n<p>At the first floor, she saw the figure she did not want to see at all.<\/p>\n<p>Ella was angry to see Kathy and came forward to block her, &#8220;Why are you bothering Joseph again!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Miss Ella, I came over because of business.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If it weren&#8217;t for Ella&#8217;s loud voice, which caused many people passing by to look over, Kathy wouldn&#8217;t want to deal with her at all.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Business? What kind of business is there on a weekend? You&#8217;re just bugging my fianc\u00e9!&#8221; Ella&#8217;s tone became even more angry.<\/p>\n<p>Fianc\u00e9&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Kathy clenched her fist, and her vulnerability surfaced for a moment.<\/p>\n<p>She straightened her back and looked at the woman in front of her with cold eyes, &#8220;Miss Ella, it&#8217;s your fianc\u00e9 who&#8217;s pestering me now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8230; what are you talking about!&#8221; Ella was pale. She could not hold back and tried to slap Kathy in the face.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy sharply clasped her wrist, sneering, &#8220;I do not have the time or the desire to seduce your fiance. So, Miss Ella, watch your man.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After she said that, Kathy left without looking back.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph gave the task to John, and John didn&#8217;t know how to handle it&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not like he was the one getting married&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>At the Ocean University Hospital, Kathy was there almost every day recently. Benedict Watson had quite a lot of surgery recently and also had a fixed consultation day.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph was going to be working at the hospital next week. For this reason, there were many nurses, and trainee doctors anticipated it. Joseph&#8217;s was famous in the hospital even before he officially started working.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When Joseph comes over, it won&#8217;t be so busy.&#8221; It was already nighttime, and Benedict took off his mask, and his sight was a blur.<\/p>\n<p>The hospital had doctors leaving during this period of time, so the recent workload was quite a lot, and it was common to stay up all night.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s okay.&#8221; Kathy massaged his neck, probably because it was her passion that she felt fulfilling when it was so busy.<\/p>\n<p>Back to the dormitory, Kathy laid down and slept until the next afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>Zofia Marshall had just returned after Kathy bath. Zofia was holding several delicate shopping bags in her hand.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Kathy, just in time. Let&#8217;s join the ball party tonight!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Zofia handed over one of the shopping bags.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy frowned, ball party?<\/p>\n<p>Kathy did not know how to dance&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Knowing Kathy&#8217;s thoughts, Zofia smiled, \u201cJust think of it as accompanying me to the party, you don&#8217;t need to know how to dance, you can meet a lot of handsome guys and forget about Joseph and start a new life&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Listening to Zofia&#8217;s words, Kathy felt that it was reasonable and agreed to it.<\/p>\n<p>An hour later, Kathy came down from the limousine in a light white bustier dress, stepping on high heels.<\/p>\n<p>The expensive outfit was given to her by Zofia.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was not quite used to wearing high heels and held Zofia&#8217;s hand to stand firmly.<\/p>\n<p>Zofia&#8217;s high heels were much higher than Kathy&#8217;s, and her crimson V-neck dress set off her aura. She had long wavy hair spread out, slender and looked noble.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy&#8217;s temperament was gentle and light. It was the opposite of Zofia&#8217;s, so she received a lot of attention when she entered the banquet hall. Many men even took the initiative to come forward to talk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1075","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1075","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=1075"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
