Joseph was surrounded by numerous students at the rostrum. Kathy packed her things and waited for
Joseph. At some point, Zofia ran over and stuck her head through the window.
“Kathy, how was Joseph during the class?”
Kathy frowned and didn’t know how to describe it.
She only managed to mumble three words, “Not too bad.”
Zofia sniggered, “Joseph is a first-rate professor, of course, his class would be outstanding! I meant to
ask if you had exchanged looks with each other. After all, you two were…”
Kathy immediately interrupted what Zofia wanted to say, “There is nothing between us, absolutely
nothing!”
“I don’t believe you. I saw you standing behind, were you being punished? Why were you the only one
being punished? Was Joseph picking on you?”
Kathy was speechless.
“It’s because I was distracted…”
“Kathy, come with me.”
At this moment, Joseph said with a stern voice.
Kathy picked up her bag and went along.
Zofia looked at the two and shook her head, ‘Brother, your chances are fading…’
Joseph’s tall build walked ahead while Kathy followed but maintained a distance behind him.
At some point, he stopped and Kathy walked right into him without realizing it.
Joseph stretched out his hand and lovingly caressed her forehead, “Are you hurt?”
He sounded like before.
Kathy was dazed and shook her head when she came to her senses. She backed away and said, “No.”
She then realized that they had arrived at the office.
“Why weren’t you paying attention?” Joseph narrowed his eyes. In class as well as while they were
walking. “Was it because of me? Huh?”
“Of course not! I didn’t sleep well last night.” Kathy looked away.
She was a bad liar. Her face will flush red whenever she lied.
She was with Joseph for a long time and naturally, he knew this peculiarity of hers. This time was no
different.
“Really? You don’t look tired today.” Joseph saw through her lies.
“No.”
“Do you intend to reprimand me?” Kathy looked at Joseph.
When she didn’t pay attention during class, she was mentally prepared to be reprimanded by Joseph.
She just felt uneasy as each time she met Joseph she would not be able to control her emotions.
“I don’t like my students to be distracted during my lessons and a reprimand is necessary but not in a
formal manner.”
“Oh? Then what does Professor Joseph intend to do?”
Kathy followed him into the office. The office was just renovated with a grand but elegant and
economical decor. The office was right next to the Dean’s office, a clear indication of how high Joseph’s
status was.
“Prepare the lesson plan for me,” Joseph said.
“What?” Kathy was stunned.
Joseph tossed a USB drive towards her. “These are the key points of the next lesson. Prepare the
lesson plan according to your understanding of the topics. Come to the Joseph’s group with the lesson
plan on Monday.”
“Monday? I have a full day of lessons on Monday.” Kathy said.
“You don’t have lessons in the afternoon,” Joseph said.
Kathy thought for a while, he could be right …
But how was Joseph clearer than her on her lesson schedule? She looked at him with suspicion…
“Any problem?”
“Yes, how do you know my lesson schedule?” Kathy asked.
“Have you thought about the question I asked you?”
“What?” Kathy blinked in surprise.
What Joseph asked her about in class was one of the key points of the lesson which she failed to take
notes of.
Joseph could see clearly her blank look.
“Come over.” Joseph sat down and opened today’s lesson plan.
Kathy quickly took out her notebook and listened intently to Joseph’s explanation.
“This is a very important point. If you didn’t grasp it properly, then you’ll have difficulty understanding
the subsequent lessons.”
“Okay.”
“Do you understand now?”
“Yes!”
“Then explain it to me.”
Although Kathy wasn’t able to articulate as well as Joseph, she had understood the key points and her
explanation was acceptable. Additionally, with such a recital, the information was further ingrained into
her memory.
She unconsciously looked at Joseph, was this a special coaching?
Forget it, she mustn’t read too much into it.
“I fully understand it now. Professor Joseph, I’ll take my leave.”
She found it dangerous to be interacting with Joseph.
Joseph frowned when he heard this and appeared upset.
“Since you don’t have any lessons afterward, come over and help me sort out some things.”
Kathy was speechless.
It was obvious that Joseph did it on purpose!
“I have something on.” Her tone turned cold.
“What?”
“None of your business!”
Joseph laughed softly with his attractive and mesmerizing voice.
“Student, I need your help,” Joseph said seriously.
Kathy bit her lips and unexpectedly nodded in agreement.
She saw a stack of files, why did she have a soft spot for dashing and handsome men …
Joseph had to teach another class and Kathy remained in his office to sort out the files until Joseph
came back at noon.
He ordered take out for her.
Kathy turned as soon as she smelled the fragrance of fried chicken.
She was very familiar with the fried chicken from AN road which was a distance from Ocean University.
How did Joseph buy it …
“You…” Kathy looked at him in surprise.
“Let’s eat.” She thought that Joseph had bought it for her but it was for them. But it didn’t affect her
mood and Kathy nodded and opened the container. She was famished. But Kathy paused when she
opened the take-out container. She shouldn’t be associating with Joseph in this manner.
She pushed the take-out container towards Joseph, “I’ll eat at the cafeteria.”
“You’re hungry.” Joseph leaned back nonchalantly on the sofa and his gaze darkened.
Kathy felt very uneasy that everything seemed to be controlled by him. It was as if Kathy had nowhere
to escape.
“That’s why I can only help you to this extent.” Kathy turned and did not hesitate.
The smell of the fried chicken lingered in her nose along with Joseph’s scent, even when she walked
out of the office. These were smells that were hard for her to forget.
Joseph continued to stare at the fried chicken and then he called Zofia.
Kathy had lost her appetite and didn’t go to the cafeteria. Instead, she went back to the hostel, and
soon after, Zofia brought the fried chicken to her. Though she was reluctant, she knew that this was
Kathy’s favorite and she could also eat some rather than letting it go to waste…
“You haven’t eaten, have you?” Zofia asked.
Kathy frowned, how did this smell get here… She turned her head and stared at the box of fried
chicken.
“Joseph asked me to bring this to you. He said that it was your favorite. Wow, looks like he came to
teach at Ocean University all because of you!” Zofia said in envy.
She was startled. The shop which sold this fried chicken was an hour’s drive from Ocean University but
it still felt piping hot in her hands.
