Joseph stayed at Joseph Bay for the next few days. As a surprise, Joseph Group's share price
rebounded. It was probably because Joseph's love video became a hit.
Unfortunately, the company still had no leader, and the top managers were agitated. Only Joseph
remained calm.
Kathy's interview was on Friday, and she needed to go to Country F. Joseph had to work that day, so
she did not let him tag along.
"Wait for me in City N. I'll be nervous if you are with me."
"Kathy." Joseph's eyes were laced with displeasure.
"Go to the hospital now. You're going to be late...."
"I'll pick you up tonight," Joseph added.
After work, he would go to Country F.
"No need. I'll be back early tomorrow morning."
"No. I won't let you go to the interview if you don't agree." Joseph put on a fake angry look.
Kathy pouted and stopped talking in fear.
She knew Joseph would keep his word.
Jennifer had been waiting for her at the airport.
She insisted on accompanying Kathy, and Kathy had no way of stopping her.
The interview was in the afternoon. Kathy went straight to the school after she got off the plane.
University F was well-known for its medical department. Today, more than a thousand students came
for the interview. Kathy was near the end of the line.
Then a familiar figure passed by her. She looked up and met Reece's deep gaze.
He stopped in front of Kathy and said, "Did you do your homework?"
"Yes, I am ready," Kathy said softly.
She felt she was at her best.
"The tutor might ask some tricky questions. You must improvise," Reece reminded.
With that, he walked into the classroom.
Kathy frowned but was not disheartened by his words. She was confident in herself.
However, as the candidates before her kept leaving in frustration, she was on edge.
She clenched her ID card while waiting. Then she heard her name.
She took a deep breath and walked into the classroom.
The one interviewing her was a female professor, about forty years old. Beside her was Reece,
dressed in a white shirt.
Kathy concentrated on the professor's question. Although it was difficult as Reece had described,
Joseph had taught her that, so she answered it with ease.
She also gave her own take on it, so the professor looked satisfied.
However, the next questions were asked by Reece.
She was tripped because they were outside her area of study.
It took her a long time to organize her speech, but she was not confident.
Then she walked out of the room feeling blue.
She had never thought Reece would ask those thorny questions about pharmacy. She had never
majored in this field, so it could be expected she failed at them.
Kathy comforted herself like that, but she felt awful.
The admission list would be announced today, so she stayed.
She stood on the balcony and wanted to call Joseph. But then she remembered he was on duty, so she
put down her phone.
Just then the sound of footsteps came from behind her.
A cup of coffee was handed to her. She looked at the man with a stern face and did not take it.
"Are you angry?" Reece raised his eyebrows.
"No." Kathy turned her head and didn't feel like sharing.
"What do you think about your performance?"
"I am confident about it," Kathy swore firmly.
She didn't want to show any weakness to Reece.
Reece curled his thin lips, leaned against the railing, and looked slantwise at Kathy. "There were 2,500
candidates, but the professors would only take three."
How cutthroat the competition was!
She clenched her fists.
"Don't be discouraged. In any case, if you fail at University F, Joseph will get you into another school."
"I never need anyone's help in my academic pursuit!" She sounded colder.
"Is that right? If you can take a shortcut, why compete with so many people?"
"So, you don't think I can get in, do you?" Kathy stared at him.
She had known how important Reece was when she had been in the classroom. The professor who
interviewed her thought highly of him. Later, she heard the other candidates talk about how Reece
might make the decision here.
"I didn't say that, but if you fawn over me, I might help you," Reece pointed out.
Kathy gnashed her teeth in anger. He was threatening her. How could she not see it?
"I don't need your help." Kathy turned her head coldly.
If she couldn't get into University F, she would go to another school.
"I admire your integrity." Reece smiled triumphantly and put down the coffee, leaving in strides.
Kathy checked the time. Feeling all hope was lost, she left the school.
Jennifer had been waiting for her in the car. Noticing her daughter came out, she asked, "Don't you
need to wait for the results?"
"Let's go back." Kathy shook her head.
Jennifer asked with worry when she saw Kathy's disappointed expression, "Kathy, don't give up. Mom
believes you can make it."
"I don't think so," Kathy sighed.
She wouldn't have come if she had known Reece's mentor was the interviewer.
Why was he so against her?
"Kathy, I will wait here with you. The results will be out in an hour."
Jennifer was confident in her daughter.
Kathy did not say anything and looked outside. The classroom buildings in University F were designed
by a famous architect. It was unique, magnificent and radiant.
However, she wasn't in the mood to appreciate it.
Then the SMS alert tone came, and her eyes lit up.
She read the message several times in shock. She ... was admitted?
But Reece hadn't suggested anything like it.
Jennifer saw the joyful glint in her eyes and said, "Kathy, I knew you would make it."
"But...." Kathy still couldn't believe it.
Reece hadn't sounded he would compromise.
Did the message mean for someone else?
The next second, she pushed open the door and got out of the car, intending to go to the school affairs
office to confirm.
Not far away, Reece was surrounded by a group of female students. Noticing Kathy, he walked straight
towards her.
He saw how happy she was.
"Is there a result?" He asked knowingly.
Kathy paused and looked at the handsome man without saying a word.
"Congratulations," Reece said indifferently and left.
Kathy frowned. She didn't take his attitude to heart and went to the school affairs office. She finally
relaxed when she was told there was no mistake.
She got in!
She wanted to call Joseph, but Joseph called her first just after she took out the phone.
"Joseph, I ... I've been admitted to University F!"
Joseph smiled dotingly and said, "I am not surprised."
