How could he?<\/p>\n<p>This project could come this far only because of Sonny.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sonny, you know&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Kathy, I have told the professor that you will finish the project with me. Now you tell him you are quitting? He wouldn&#8217;t like to be fooled around.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was dumbfounded, irritated by his threat.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sonny, I never said that. How can you tell professor already?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You have no way out. Kathy, I&#8217;m doing this for your own good.&#8221; Sonny&#8217;s tone softened and he gazed at Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>She pursed her lips and said in a serious tone, &#8220;I&#8217;ll tell the professor myself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Then she strode away. Sonny was stunned by her answer and immediately scurried after her.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why do you hate me so much?&#8221; Gloomy, Sonny blocked her way and asked.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t hate you, but I do hope you can respect me.&#8221; Kathy said coldly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I respect you, but have you ever respected me? If you quit, then this project will be over.&#8221; Sonny&#8217;s tone was as cold as Kathy&#8217;s. &#8220;We have worked two weeks for it!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As he spoke, Sonny&#8217;s eyes turned red.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy knew that Sonny valued this project very much.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Kathy, don&#8217;t worry, I have no feelings for you now.&#8221; Sonny said seriously.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I lied to you. I haven&#8217;t told the professor yet. You can tell him yourself. I lost my temper just now. I&#8217;m sorry.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Then Sonny pivoted around and left.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy stood frozen. She thought of Sonny&#8217;s words and then Joseph. It was only in the afternoon that she dawdled to the professor&#8217;s office.<\/p>\n<p>After telling the professor that she would stay in that team, Kathy continued that she didn&#8217;t have much time, so she wondered if there could be one more partner. Professor Lee agreed.<\/p>\n<p>Right after she left the office, Sonny came over.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Have you decided?&#8221; Sonny asked.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sonny nodded slowly. Kathy did not stay any longer and returned to the dormitory.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time in BV City.<\/p>\n<p>After having meetings all the afternoon, Joseph went back to the hotel room. He decided not to go to the cocktail party tonight.<\/p>\n<p>He asked Quinn to come over, saying, &#8220;You do the speech on behalf of me tomorrow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Joseph threw his drafts at him.<\/p>\n<p>Quinn frowned. &#8220;Me? Come on! The famous neurology professor is you, not me. They won&#8217;t buy it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Quinn was no more than a businessman. All he thought of was to make money. Those scholars wouldn&#8217;t be happy to be his audience.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Then do something about it. I won&#8217;t be here tomorrow.&#8221; Joseph ordered.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Back to see Kathy? She&#8217;s your student anyway. You can let her come.&#8221; Quinn rubbed his chin and said.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, that was how he had brought Veronica over.<\/p>\n<p>Just then, Joseph fixed his cold eyes on him and Quinn immediately fell silent.<\/p>\n<p>Quinn sighed, &#8220;I&#8217;m not the right person to give this speech, but strangely enough, the meeting was extended at the last minute, which screwed up my plan.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hearing this, Joseph frowned. Something cold moved in his eyes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have no idea what the people in Marshall Group are up to.&#8221; Hearing this, Joseph suddenly raised his eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Quinn knew if he didn&#8217;t do anything, he wouldn&#8217;t have anything at all.<\/p>\n<p>Veronica pursed her lips. Right on cue, Zofia wheeled nearer.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Joseph, you don&#8217;t have to do that. If it&#8217;s because of me, you guys go ahead. I&#8217;ll have dinner myself&#8221; Zofia said disappointedly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s go.&#8221; Joseph stopped his work and said.<\/p>\n<p>Veronica was pleased. &#8220;I knew you are the best brother in the world!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And you&#8217;re the most troublesome sister.&#8221; Shaking his head, Joseph mocked her.<\/p>\n<p>The cafe was downstairs. They were all VIPs, so the waiter arranged a private room for them.<\/p>\n<p>Zofia sat beside Joseph, and Veronica on the other side.<\/p>\n<p>However, not long after, Joseph received a message and his face immediately darkened.<\/p>\n<p>The next second, he glared at Zofia.<\/p>\n<p>Zofia was frightened by his gaze.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What&#8217;s wrong?&#8221; She asked nervously.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re applying to be my assistant?&#8221; Joseph narrowed his eyes, his eyes filled with coldness.<\/p>\n<p>Zofia nodded slowly, &#8220;I can&#8217;t work in the hospital now given my condition. There&#8217;s a job available in University F, so I&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t need an assistant.&#8221; Joseph said coldly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Zofia followed the standard procedure. I&#8217;m afraid it is confirmed officially now.&#8221; Veronica said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I told you, I don&#8217;t need an assistant.&#8221; Joseph repeated impatiently.<\/p>\n<p>Standing aside, Quinn didn&#8217;t know what to do.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Did you say that because the assistant will be me?&#8221; Zofia bit her lips and her eyes welled up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1248","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1248","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=1248"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
