“Don’t you want to pursue her? You don’t even have her phone number, you’re so timid!”
“Maybe she doesn’t want to receive my call at all.”
“Brother, you’re so useless but I still think you have the chance. Kathy has distanced herself from
Joseph!”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean it literarily. Joseph gives a speech in the campus on Sunday but Kathy does not attend and
shows no interest at all, she must have given up on him.”
Bertie remained silent. Sometimes, the intense one wanted to escape from someone, the harder one
was able to give up on somebody.
“Joseph attends and gives a speech? He has always disliked showing up in front of the public,” Bertie
frowned.
He had agreed to do so?
“That’s right, he always keeps a low profile. Nevertheless, he is not only here to give a speech, he is
also hired as a professor…”
“Okay, I have understood,” Bertie hung the phone quickly.
After a while, the assistant came in the office.
“Mr Marshall, the Herbert’s group announced that they had bankrupted this morning.”
After hearing the news, Bertie changed his expression, “Doesn’t Billy help?”
“The Hilton Group’s status is not stable as well. The market share of the Hilton Group’s medical field
drops rapidly. Soon, the Joseph’s Group has a variety of new medicine to be introduced and directly hit
the Hilton Group.”
Bertie frowned, the Joseph’s Group had prepared for a long time and attacked abruptly…
…
It was dusk when Joseph left the campus. Once he came out, a few students gathered around him.
At the moment, Kathy was called by Mr Watson. She could see Joseph being gathered from far away.
He was outstanding, his handsome face was charming and he always showed his gentleness.
But for now, she found that she did not really understand him.
She used another path intentionally to reach the administrative building. Joseph’s sight fell on Kathy in
a flash.
He frowned and left.
Kathy saw his tall silhouette, did not move her sights from him…
…
Friday had reached. This was a special day for the students in Ocean University, they were excited.
Recently, the Joseph’s Group had gained high prestige, Joseph was popular. The new medicine
introduced by him was successfully launched. Before he was going to give a speech, the campus had
made a stir.
Zofia wanted to go earlier to grab a seat in the hall but Kathy did not have any action at all. Zofia
walked towards her, “Kathy, don’t you want to listen to Joseph’s speech in the hall?”
Kathy shook her head, “I am not interested in that.”
“Really? Is it because you don’t want to see Joseph?”
“No…” Kathy did not believe her own words as well.
She indeed did not want to see Joseph but in fact she wanted to go.
“Okay, it’s up to you. But he is the professor of neurology, you’re the student studying neurology. If you
miss the talk, you are going to regret it.”
Zofia’s words were lingering in her brain.
Kathy looked at the book in front of her, it gradually became Joseph’s face.
She scratched her hair irritably, changed her clothes and carried her bag to go out.
It was late when she arrived. The hall had been occupied by a whale of students, there was no seat
left.
Joseph had not yet come. Kathy walked around, the entrances were full of people and she could not
find a way to enter.
It seemed chanceless to attend the talk.
When she wanted to go back, Mr Watson walked towards her.
“Kathy, are you going to attend the talk?”
“Yes, but there are too many people…” Kathy frowned.
“Follow me, there is a seat beside me.”
Kathy was relieved but she was nervous when thought of being brought in by Benedict.
There were so many people in the hall. Joseph wouldn’t be able to see her, right?
But she did not expect Benedict’s seat was placed in the first row…
Initially, the seat was reserved for the dean but he suddenly went on a business trip…
“What is your opinion on the medicinal research that you take part in the Joseph’s Group recently?”
Benedict asked.
Kathy was his only student so far during that period, he treated her well.
He could also observe her potential.
“The research teams of the Joseph’s Group is the top in City N, I have learned a lot when I join them.”
“That’s right. The Joseph’s Group is mainly having research on neurological medicine now. You can
follow Joseph and learn from him but I feel something awkward between both of you recently,” Benedict
frowned.
If Joseph had a talk in Ocean University, as his wife, Kathy must have a seat but she stayed outside
just now.
Kathy showed her stiff face. After a while, she said, “Professor, we have divorced.”
Benedict was shocked. Actually, Joseph had made him surprised when Kathy married with him.
They had just married for a short period.
“I don’t want to know about your personal thing but he is the specially invited professor at Ocean
University now. You are unable to avoid meeting him in the future.”
“I know it, professor,” Kathy smiled, she did not want to make professor worry.
After a while, Joseph came. Kathy held her notebook and made notes throughout the talk without
looking up. Joseph’s nice and dull voice kept lingering in her ears. There were some moments that they
looked at each other when she looked up.
He showed his indifferent expression and did not have much expression.
Kathy lowered her head, focused on the talk given by Joseph.
Some students asked question in the midst of the talk. Some even asked about Joseph’s personal
information boldly.
“Mr Joseph, we hear that you get married already. Is your wife in the same career field as you?”
After hearing that, Kathy looked up instinctively.
She wanted to know Joseph’s answer.
“Yes, she has the same identity with you all. She is a student.”
Benedict was surprised, he turned his head and looked at Kathy. His sights were deep.
The talk was about to end. Joseph walked towards Benedict. Kathy wanted to leave instantly when the
talk ended.
Benedict called her, “Kathy, you stay here.”
Kathy stopped her steps after a fashion and Joseph…was just beside her.
But his sight did not fall on her.
Both of them discussed the professional problem, Kathy found it hard to get in the discussion. There
was a lot of students gathered around Joseph, they intended to ask him different type of questions.
Kathy was shoved by the crowd. Joseph just stood beside her, she fell in the direction of where he
stood when accidentally pushed by others.
She could smell the recognized odour, someone’s arm held her steadily.
She looked up, Joseph was looking at her, he raised his eyebrow slightly.
“Everybody, please don’t shove, I will be in the campus from today onwards,” Joseph smiled gently.
“You have a lot of fans, I don’t want to disturb you anymore,” Benedict looked at the crowd, shook his
head and said, “Protect my student well.”
After that, Kathy was flushed.
What did Mr Watson mean…?
“Professor, I will see you later.”
“Mr Joseph, please let me go,” Kathy was still hugged by him, she felt uneasy.
Joseph frowned, “Are you sure that you can go out now?”
At least hundred students surrounded them.
“Yes, you let me go first,” Kathy repeated her words.
Joseph did let go, but Kathy shoved by the crowd again when she stepped backwards and fell against
Joseph.
