Chapter 262
\nMy Sweetheart novel Chapter 262<\/p>\n
Kathy was speechless.<\/p>\n
Joseph was so jealous of his assistant!<\/p>\n
“I was thinking John was being pressed too hard by you.”<\/p>\n
“I don’t need to have so many people around me. Otherwise, how many female secretaries would you want me to have around?” Joseph asked deliberately.<\/p>\n
Kathy\u2019s face immediately got serious. Female Secretary…<\/p>\n
She had usually seen TV shows with female secretaries trying to hook up with CEOs…<\/p>\n
Besides, Joseph was so good-looking, no woman could resist him, right?<\/p>\n
She immediately took Joseph’s arm and showed her sovereignty, “That will only trouble John.”<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
As the time for her retest got closer and closer, Kathy was getting nervous.<\/p>\n
Insomnia for days on end had left her in a terrible state. She always had a bad feeling in her heart.<\/p>\n
When she opened her eyes, she found that the seat beside her was still empty.<\/p>\n
She looked at the time. It was two o’clock in the morning.<\/p>\n
She picked up her phone and called Joseph.<\/p>\n
The first time she called, there was no answer.<\/p>\n
Kathy was worried and called again.<\/p>\n
But this time, it was a woman who answered, and the voice was not unfamiliar to her.<\/p>\n
“Mrs Joseph?” Edith’s voice came through.<\/p>\n
“Where’s Joseph?” Kathy’s voice was slightly cold.<\/p>\n
Hadn’t Edith already left City N?<\/p>\n
“Joseph… he’s still in the lab. Don’t you know that?”<\/p>\n
Kathy pursed her lips. It was true that she didn’t know Joseph’s whereabouts.<\/p>\n
The two of them would rarely talk on the phone. She was Joseph’s secretary before, so she would know Joseph’s whereabouts all too well.<\/p>\n
“I need to speak to him. Please pass the phone to him.” Kathy said in a low voice.<\/p>\n
“Mr. Joseph is busy and not very available. When he’s free, I’ll have him call you back.”<\/p>\n
“Then please remember, I’ll wait for him.”<\/p>\n
Edith’s face sank as she hung up the phone.<\/p>\n
Through the glass door, she watched Joseph’s busy figure and frowned.<\/p>\n
An hour later, Joseph came out with his mask off.<\/p>\n
“The drug must be slowed down. So far, the side effects are not minor. We must continue our research.” Joseph said in a deep voice.<\/p>\n
“Well, it’s a drug we’ve wanted to develop since we graduated. I never thought it would finally come to this day. Joseph, thank you.”<\/p>\n
Edith had now founded her own pharmaceutical company with investment from the Hunt family. And now she was working with the Joseph’s Group on her first drug.<\/p>\n
She had little experience, however, and most of the time she had to ask Joseph for advice.<\/p>\n
Joseph looked indifferent as usual, “Well, this drug would be a big contribution to the medical community if it were developed.”<\/p>\n
“It’s late. Are you still going back? Or you can rest in the lab. Rooms are available.” Edith called to him.<\/p>\n
Joseph didn’t stop in his tracks, “I can’t get a good sleep without my wife by my side.”<\/p>\n
Edith blanched and didn’t dare speak again.<\/p>\n
Conor’s car remained parked outside and Edith walked slowly over to it.<\/p>\n
“What are you doing here? It’s not far from the apartment. I can get back on my own.”<\/p>\n
“I’m not relieved. It’s late. I’m worried about you.” Conor’s hand rose to embrace her.<\/p>\n
Edith stiffened, but in the end, she didn’t push him away.<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
Joseph Bay.<\/p>\n
Kathy hadn’t been sleeping again. She’d been holding her phone, but she hadn’t waited for Joseph’s call.<\/p>\n
Until there were footsteps outside the door and she looked up.<\/p>\n
Joseph was dressed in a white shirt and black pants. The fatigue on his handsome face could not be concealed.<\/p>\n
Kathy always looked indifferent.<\/p>\n
“Why aren’t you asleep?” Joseph\u2019s face sank as he walked towards her.<\/p>\n
“You go to the Joseph’s Group. I’ll meet you after the exam.” Kathy didn’t want to hold up Joseph’s work.<\/p>\n
“I’m not relieved until you finish the test.”<\/p>\n
“What do you have to be worried about? And the results won’t come out today. You go to work.”<\/p>\n
“Do you just want me to go?” Joseph pinched her chin.<\/p>\n
Kathy stuck her tongue out. With Joseph there, she was more or less stressed.<\/p>\n
“I’ll wait for you at the Joseph’s Group. Is that okay?” Joseph compromised for now.<\/p>\n
Kathy nodded. She stood on tiptoe to kiss his cheek and quickly walked into the school.<\/p>\n
Joseph’s face sank inch by inch. He got into the car but didn’t start the engine for a long time.<\/p>\n
Two hours later, the candidates were leaving one after another.<\/p>\n
He pushed the door and got out of the car.<\/p>\n
Only, when he saw a familiar figure, his face sank.<\/p>\n
And apparently, Aaron Fisher saw Joseph too.<\/p>\n
He couldn’t hide the anger in his eyes. Aaron came over and threw a punch at Joseph.<\/p>\n
But Joseph steadily blocked it.<\/p>\n
“Mr Fisher, don’t forget your identity.” Joseph\u2019s face sank.<\/p>\n
“I don’t need you to remind me of what my identity is. Instead, how dare you show up in front of me?” Aaron stormed off.<\/p>\n
Joseph remained poised, “I didn’t come over here because of you.”<\/p>\n
At this moment, Kathy came out as well. Seeing that Aaron was grabbing Joseph’s shirt and looking indignant, she ran over worriedly.<\/p>\n
Aaron was her interviewer at the retest just now. Why did he seem to be at odds with Joseph?<\/p>\n
“Mr Fisher.”<\/p>\n
Kathy called to him politely.<\/p>\n
Joseph took Kathy’s hand and brought her into his arms. Aaron looked at the intimate pair and smirked, “So you’re Joseph’s wife.”<\/p>\n
“Aaron, don’t be a jerk,” Joseph said and ignored him.<\/p>\n
Seeing that Aaron couldn’t hold back his temper and wanted to hit Joseph again, Kathy subconsciously blocked in front of Aaron, “Mr Fisher, this is a school. You’d better pay attention to your image.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-928","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/928","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=928"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
