Just this morning our professor was telling about how amazing these models of drugs are\u2026\u201d Zofia exclaimed.<\/p>\n<p>She didn\u2019t know these models of drugs were developed by the Joseph\u2019s Group.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHospitals were now fighting over these drugs, and most of the pharmacies were out of stock,\u201d Zofia continued.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy frowned. She knew these models of drugs well since she was in the R&amp;D team with Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>These were the drugs Joseph started to develop five years ago. Now they caused such a sensation when they finally hit the market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWere these drugs really that amazing?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course. These drugs were widely praised since it was Joseph who led the development team. Furthermore, these models were tested overseas and received great feedback, that\u2019s why everyone is fighting over them as soon as they hit the domestic market,\u201d Zofia analyzed and explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou used to work for the Joseph\u2019s Group, right? Don\u2019t you know about these drugs?\u201d Zofia looked at Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI did work in the development team under Joseph, but I didn\u2019t get to know too much inside news.\u201d Kathy shook her head. She wasn\u2019t one of the main developers in the team back then.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh man, I should\u2019ve bought some Joseph\u2019s Group stocks. I would\u2019ve been earning hand over fist now.\u201d Zofia sighed.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy smiled. \u201cMiss Marshall doesn\u2019t seem to me like someone who\u2019s short of money.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBullshit. I paid for all my college fees since I don\u2019t want to keep rely on my family. The Marshall family is nowhere near how wealthy it used to be, we almost went bankrupt a few years ago. We would have made it through if it wasn\u2019t for the Booth family\u2019s help,\u201d Zofia said.<\/p>\n<p>It was the toughest time for the Marshall family, and it was Bertie Marshall who carried the fate of the whole family on his shoulders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything\u2019s okay now.\u201d Kathy consoled her.<\/p>\n<p>Even though it hadn\u2019t been long she associated with Zofia, Kathy got the picture of what kind a person she was.<\/p>\n<p>She was cordial and friendly instead of being cocky like what most people would expect from a girl coming from a rich family.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, I hope I can help share my brother\u2019s burden soon. He is the one who has been supporting me that I can study medicine now,\u201d Zofia replied.<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, Zofia\u2019s phone rang. It was Veronica.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat? You\u2019re in Ocean University? Why didn\u2019t you tell me you\u2019re coming?\u201d Zofia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m just here to settle some stuff. Want to hang out?\u201d Veronica.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSure. Where are you?\u201d Zofia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight in front of your dorm.\u201d Veronica.<\/p>\n<p>Zofia frowned, looking at Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>She heard a knock at the door.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVeronica is here,\u201d hanging up the phone, Zofia said to Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was expressionless.<\/p>\n<p>Zofia opened the door with a fidget heart. As expected, Veronica\u2019s face darkened a little when she saw Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>But her emotion wasn\u2019t as strong as before anymore.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t know you stay with Kathy.\u201d Veronica frowned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe college management arranged this. Let\u2019s go.\u201d Zofia didn\u2019t let Vernica go inside.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan I have a look inside? I\u2019m envious cause I can\u2019t get into college.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With that said, Veronica rolled herself into the dorm on her wheelchair.<\/p>\n<p>Zofia walked alongside her, still worried.<\/p>\n<p>But Veronica was calm. She even stopped by Kathy as she went in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you for taking care of me back then when I was hospitalized,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy turned around, looked into her sincere gaze and replied, \u201cIt was my duty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When they left the dorm, Zofia was still in a daze.<\/p>\n<p>She thought Veronica would definitely be mad, but she didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cZofia, why didn\u2019t you tell me you\u2019re staying with Kathy?\u201d Veronica sounded displeased.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel it wasn\u2019t necessary\u2026\u201d Zofia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou thought I would rant at you like a psycho?\u201d Veronica.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course not!\u201d Zofia shook her head.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t worry. She is now divorced with my brother, and I don\u2019t really hate her that much,\u201d Veronica said lightly.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Some senior executives were following him attentively.<\/p>\n<p>Upon seeing Kathy, Joseph flashed his gaze across her face.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing Joseph entered the lift, everyone else stood outside and waited for the next lift.<\/p>\n<p>There were only Kathy and Joseph in the lift.<\/p>\n<p>There was not much space, Kathy could distinctly sense the familiar scent from Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>As if the scent had never left.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing Joseph seemed to be moving towards her, Kathy backed off subconsciously. \u201cDon\u2019t you come near me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph looked at her.<\/p>\n<p>There was an unfathomable emotion in his eyes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou haven\u2019t pressed the button,\u201d he reminded.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was embarrassed. \u201cOh, he was going for the button\u2026\u201d she thought.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have anything to tell me?\u201d Seeing Kathy a bit nervous, Joseph moved even closer to her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat do you want me to say?\u201d Kathy looked at him innocently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDidn\u2019t you keep looking at me just now at the front gate?\u201d Joseph\u2019s lips curled.<\/p>\n<p>It lasted about five minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy went speechless.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou were blocking my way, I couldn\u2019t get in.\u201d She made up an excuse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh yeah?\u201d Joseph raised his eyebrows and moved in on Kathy, then raised his arms and boxed her in.<\/p>\n<p>Surrounded by Joseph\u2019s scent, Kathy felt her chin lifted by Joseph. She was forced to look into his eyes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStop this, Joseph.\u201d Kathy\u2019s gaze turned fierce.<\/p>\n<p>She didn\u2019t want to stay so close to him\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-999","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/999","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=999"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
