Chapter 283
\nMy Sweetheart novel Chapter 283<\/p>\n
Zack said in a low voice as if he saw through Kathy\u2019s thoughts, \u201cYou are the person that I trust the most right now and you have experience with this sort of matter. This drug will be our flagship product next year, there is no room for mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut grandfather\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo buts, there are still three months left. It should be more than enough time for you,\u201d said Zack, he was irrefutable.<\/p>\n
\u201cGo meet Bertie in the afternoon, he\u2019ll take you to the lab.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut grandfather, I want to stay with you.\u201d<\/p>\n
She wasn\u2019t here to solve problems happening at Booth Group.<\/p>\n
But it was obvious that her grandfather\u2019s main intention for her to be here, was so that she could help Booth Group out.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou wouldn\u2019t need to take a hand in this matter if you want me to go to the lab instead. I don\u2019t have much longer, I don\u2019t really want to run about and deal with Booth Group\u2019s problems on my death bed\u2026\u201d Zack sounded bleak and desolate.<\/p>\n
Kathy\u2019s heart ached even though she knew that he was just trying to egg her on. She yielded to his request.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll go, grandfather.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, I\u2019ll be at peace knowing that you are a part of this matter.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy didn\u2019t look so good when she walked out of the room.<\/p>\n
What Zack told her just now meant that she couldn\u2019t avoid coming into contact with Bertie.<\/p>\n
She knew that Jennifer controlled part of the Booth Group\u2019s industry and the other part was still in Zack\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n
She also knew that Zack trusted Bertie a lot. He was getting old and had temporarily handed his part of the industry over to Bertie.<\/p>\n
Joseph would be furious if he found out that she needed to work alongside with Bertie.<\/p>\n
But she didn\u2019t want to hide it.<\/p>\n
She called Joseph without hesitant.<\/p>\n
Joseph\u2019s masculine voice could be heard from the phone, \u201cYou miss me already?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJoseph, there\u2019s something serious that I need to talk about.\u201d Kathy took a deep breath, \u201cThere\u2019s some issue with the new drug at Booth Group and my grandfather wants me to help out at the lab.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd you think that I will disagree?\u201d Joseph could tell from her tone of voice.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, because Bertie will be there,\u201d said Kathy nervously.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, I cannot prevent that from happening, right?\u201d said Joseph, his voice was surprisingly gentle.<\/p>\n
Though Kathy could feel a hint of anger in his voice.<\/p>\n
Kathy bit her lips, this wasn\u2019t what she wished for.<\/p>\n
\u201cI couldn\u2019t say no to grandfather.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMrs. Joseph, I trust you. But you\u2019ll have to hope that I\u2019ll be able to control myself,\u201d said Joseph half-jokingly.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat would you do?\u201d said Kathy teasingly.<\/p>\n
\u201cBring you away,\u201d answered Joseph without skipping a beat.<\/p>\n
Kathy\u2019s heart was pumping. She believed that Joseph would do that without hesitation.<\/p>\n
She knew that even though he always seemed gentle and mature, he could be over-bearing and forceful when he wanted to.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t get jealous so easily.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo can do, Mrs. Joseph. I will not allow any male to get near you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll be having male classmates in my class when university starts.\u201d<\/p>\n
Even though it was beyond logic, it still made Kathy\u2019s heart melt.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll kill a hundred.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy snorted, \u201cDon\u2019t be like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy went to Booth Group in the afternoon.<\/p>\n
She talked to the R&D personnel for a while and headed to the lab together.<\/p>\n
She was once a part of the research and development of a certain drug, but she wasn\u2019t the person in charge. She was clearly not experienced enough for this.<\/p>\n
The medication that Booth Group was developing was named \u201cHIOD\u201d. Kathy looked at the report and saw a familiar name, Edith.<\/p>\n
She was the main developer of the drug.<\/p>\n
She suddenly remembered that the Hunt family was in country B. Of course, Edith would be here as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll have to wait till tomorrow. The new drugs in stock have been taken away by Kathy,\u201d said the assistant quietly.<\/p>\n
Edith\u2019s face darkened, she looked at the time and realized that it was almost evening.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow then.<\/p>\n
Bertie came in from outside when Edith was about to leave.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy are you here, Mr. Marshall?\u201d Edith halted in her track.<\/p>\n
Although Bertie was one of the person-in-charge, he never came by the lab before.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe president ordered to accelerate the progress of the development of the new drug, I\u2019m here to take a look,\u201d said Bertie plainly.<\/p>\n
He then went into the lab.<\/p>\n
Edith saw that Bertie went up directly to Kathy.<\/p>\n
Her eyes turned frigid and cold.<\/p>\n
Kathy grimaced when she saw Bertie, \u201cMr. Marshall, please put on a mask before coming in.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bertie smiled aptly, \u201cIt\u2019s getting late. Come with me, I\u2019ll tell you more about the new drug.\u201d<\/p>\n
There was an office room in front of the lab. Kathy sat on the sofa, she was holding the documents about \u201cHIOD\u201d on her hand.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you know why your grandfather wants you to take part in the R&D of this new drug so badly?\u201d asked Bertie.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Marshall, the drug was already past the research stage and I wasn\u2019t part of it. It\u2019s now in the clinical trial phase.\u201d Kathy tried to correct him.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, it\u2019s not complete yet. You are here now and you\u2019re considered to be part of the research team. I believe that this drug will cause a stir in the medical community when released. Booth Group will be able to win popular trust if people find out that you are one of the main researchers.<\/p>\n
Kathy pursed her lips, she understood what Bertie was trying to tell her.<\/p>\n
Her grandfather never gave up on forcing her to inherit his position in the company.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Marshall, I only promised grandfather to work on HIOD and see it until the end. There\u2019s no need to think about other things, please mind your own business.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cReally? Do you think you can retreat smoothly afterwards?\u201d Bertie squinted his eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m positive,\u201d answered Kathy without any hesitation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-949","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/949","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=949"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
