âJosephâs Group... oh, these few models are all new drugs from the Josephâs Group? Just this morning our professor was telling about how amazing these models of drugs are...â Zofia exclaimed.
She didnât know these models of drugs were developed by the Josephâs Group.
âHospitals were now fighting over these drugs, and most of the pharmacies were out of stock,â Zofia continued.
Kathy frowned. She knew these models of drugs well since she was in the R&D team with Joseph.
These were the drugs Joseph started to develop five years ago. Now they caused such a sensation when they finally hit the market.
âWere these drugs really that amazing?â she asked.
âOf 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, thatâs why everyone is fighting over them as soon as they hit the domestic market,â Zofia analyzed and explained.
âYou used to work for the Josephâs Group, right? Donât you know about these drugs?â Zofia looked at Kathy.
âI did work in the development team under Joseph, but I didnât get to know too much inside news.â Kathy shook her head. She wasnât one of the main developers in the team back then.
âOh man, I shouldâve bought some Josephâs Group stocks. I wouldâve been earning hand over fist now.â Zofia sighed.
Kathy smiled. âMiss Marshall doesnât seem to me like someone whoâs short of money.â
âBullshit. I paid for all my college fees since I donât 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 wasnât for the Booth familyâs help,â Zofia said.
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.
âEverythingâs okay now.â Kathy consoled her.
Even though it hadnât been long she associated with Zofia, Kathy got the picture of what kind a person she was.
She was cordial and friendly instead of being cocky like what most people would expect from a girl coming from a rich family.
âYeah, I hope I can help share my brotherâs burden soon. He is the one who has been supporting me that I can study medicine now,â Zofia replied.
Suddenly, Zofiaâs phone rang. It was Veronica.
âWhat? Youâre in Ocean University? Why didnât you tell me youâre coming?â Zofia.
âIâm just here to settle some stuff. Want to hang out?â Veronica.
âSure. Where are you?â Zofia.
âRight in front of your dorm.â Veronica.
Zofia frowned, looking at Kathy.
She heard a knock at the door.
âVeronica is here,â hanging up the phone, Zofia said to Kathy.
Kathy was expressionless.
Zofia opened the door with a fidget heart. As expected, Veronicaâs face darkened a little when she saw Kathy.
But her emotion wasnât as strong as before anymore.
âI didnât know you stay with Kathy.â Veronica frowned.
âThe college management arranged this. Letâs go.â Zofia didnât let Vernica go inside.
âCan I have a look inside? Iâm envious cause I canât get into college.â
With that said, Veronica rolled herself into the dorm on her wheelchair.
Zofia walked alongside her, still worried.
But Veronica was calm. She even stopped by Kathy as she went in.
âThank you for taking care of me back then when I was hospitalized,â she said.
Kathy turned around, looked into her sincere gaze and replied, âIt was my duty.â
When they left the dorm, Zofia was still in a daze.
She thought Veronica would definitely be mad, but she didnât.
âZofia, why didnât you tell me youâre staying with Kathy?â Veronica sounded displeased.
âI feel it wasnât necessary...â Zofia.
âYou thought I would rant at you like a psycho?â Veronica.
âOf course not!â Zofia shook her head.
âDonât worry. She is now divorced with my brother, and I donât really hate her that much,â Veronica said lightly.
......
In the evening, Kathy got an unexpected call from Mathew.
âGrandpa,â Kathy called him the way she gotten used to, but immediately came to her senses. âErm, I mean, Math...â
Mathew cut her off. âJust call me grandpa. Kathy, itâs my 80th birthday the day after tomorrow, I want you to come to the party.â
âGrandpa, I donât think itâs appropriate...â Kathy replied.
She cut ties with the Joseph family since she divorced Joseph.
âI missed you. The invitation letter is on the way, donât turn me down,â Mathew said.
Kathy fell silent.
She had always liked and respected Mathew.
But she would definitely bump into Joseph if she were to attend Mathewâs party.
And, instead of repelling it, she was actually kind of looking forward to it.
It was Saturday the next day. Kathy went to the Josephâs Groupâs laboratory as usual.
For the past few days, the news reporters had been gathering in front of the Josephâs Groupâs front gate. As she got off the car, she saw that man amongst the crowd from afar.
Subconsciously, Kathy halted.
Her gaze fell on Josephâs good-looking face. There were so many people in the crowd, but she was looking at him and only him.
He was wearing a white shirt and a black slack, his aura was outstanding amongst the crowd, elegant and noble.
But Kathy felt she was not familiar with this man at all.
His method must be malicious to be able to destroy the Herbertâs Group and the Hiltonâs Group overnight, and brought the Josephâs Group to secure the position of No.1 enterprise in City N.
Before this, Kathy had only known Joseph as merely a doctor.
Even though he had become the president of the Josephâs Groupâs for some time, deep down. Kathy had always seen him as a doctor.
But now, everything seemed to change.
His status was now a president, which made her feel he was further away from her.
Kathy finally moved on and entered the Josephâs Group building.
But just when she got into the lift, Joseph followed her in.
Some senior executives were following him attentively.
Upon seeing Kathy, Joseph flashed his gaze across her face.
Seeing Joseph entered the lift, everyone else stood outside and waited for the next lift.
There were only Kathy and Joseph in the lift.
There was not much space, Kathy could distinctly sense the familiar scent from Joseph.
As if the scent had never left.
Seeing Joseph seemed to be moving towards her, Kathy backed off subconsciously. âDonât you come near me.â
Joseph looked at her.
There was an unfathomable emotion in his eyes.
âYou havenât pressed the button,â he reminded.

Kathy was embarrassed. âOh, he was going for the button...â she thought.
âYou have anything to tell me?â Seeing Kathy a bit nervous, Joseph moved even closer to her.
âWhat do you want me to say?â Kathy looked at him innocently.
âDidnât you keep looking at me just now at the front gate?â Josephâs lips curled.
It lasted about five minutes.
Kathy went speechless.
âYou were blocking my way, I couldnât get in.â She made up an excuse.
âOh yeah?â Joseph raised his eyebrows and moved in on Kathy, then raised his arms and boxed her in.
Surrounded by Josephâs scent, Kathy felt her chin lifted by Joseph. She was forced to look into his eyes.
âStop this, Joseph.â Kathyâs gaze turned fierce.
She didnât want to stay so close to him...
