My Sweetheart

Chapter 262 I Like You to be Jealous

Kathy was speechless.

Joseph was so jealous of his assistant!

"I was thinking John was being pressed too hard by you."

"I don't need to have so many people around me. Otherwise, how many female secretaries would you want me to have around?" Joseph asked deliberately.

Kathy’s face immediately got serious. Female Secretary...

She had usually seen TV shows with female secretaries trying to hook up with CEOs...

Besides, Joseph was so good-looking, no woman could resist him, right?

She immediately took Joseph's arm and showed her sovereignty, "That will only trouble John."

...

As the time for her retest got closer and closer, Kathy was getting nervous.

Insomnia for days on end had left her in a terrible state. She always had a bad feeling in her heart.

When she opened her eyes, she found that the seat beside her was still empty.

She looked at the time. It was two o'clock in the morning.

She picked up her phone and called Joseph.

The first time she called, there was no answer.

Kathy was worried and called again.

But this time, it was a woman who answered, and the voice was not unfamiliar to her.

"Mrs Joseph?" Edith's voice came through.

"Where's Joseph?" Kathy's voice was slightly cold.

Hadn't Edith already left City N?

"Joseph... he's still in the lab. Don't you know that?"

Kathy pursed her lips. It was true that she didn't know Joseph's whereabouts.

The two of them would rarely talk on the phone. She was Joseph's secretary before, so she would know Joseph's whereabouts all too well.

"I need to speak to him. Please pass the phone to him." Kathy said in a low voice.

"Mr. Joseph is busy and not very available. When he's free, I'll have him call you back."

"Then please remember, I'll wait for him."

Edith's face sank as she hung up the phone.

Through the glass door, she watched Joseph's busy figure and frowned.

An hour later, Joseph came out with his mask off.

"The drug must be slowed down. So far, the side effects are not minor. We must continue our research." Joseph said in a deep voice.

"Well, it's a drug we've wanted to develop since we graduated. I never thought it would finally come to this day. Joseph, thank you."

Edith had now founded her own pharmaceutical company with investment from the Hunt family. And now she was working with the Joseph's Group on her first drug.

She had little experience, however, and most of the time she had to ask Joseph for advice.

Joseph looked indifferent as usual, "Well, this drug would be a big contribution to the medical community if it were developed."

"It's late. Are you still going back? Or you can rest in the lab. Rooms are available." Edith called to him.

Joseph didn't stop in his tracks, "I can't get a good sleep without my wife by my side."

Edith blanched and didn't dare speak again.

Conor's car remained parked outside and Edith walked slowly over to it.

"What are you doing here? It's not far from the apartment. I can get back on my own."

"I'm not relieved. It's late. I'm worried about you." Conor's hand rose to embrace her.

Edith stiffened, but in the end, she didn't push him away.

...

Joseph Bay.

Kathy hadn't been sleeping again. She'd been holding her phone, but she hadn't waited for Joseph's call.

Until there were footsteps outside the door and she looked up.

Joseph was dressed in a white shirt and black pants. The fatigue on his handsome face could not be concealed.

Kathy always looked indifferent.

"Why aren't you asleep?" Joseph’s face sank as he walked towards her.

He tried to hug Kathy, but she pushed him away.

"I just called you," Kathy said.

Joseph frowned. He had just picked up his phone and found it was out of power.

"Sorry. I didn't see it."

"Edith answered the phone when I called you." NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

"Well, she'll be in City N recently. Her company and Joseph's Group are working on a new drug these days. I've been in the lab with her all day today. But, I didn't know she answered the phone."

Kathy realized that Edith had done it on purpose.

"I shouldn't be angry, should I?" Kathy said in a low voice.

After all, Joseph contacted Edith for business. But she was just a little unhappy.

"I like that you're jealous." Joseph leaned in close, pinched her chin, and kissed her.

Kathy subconsciously avoided it.

"I'll have to follow up on this project initially, but after that, I'll have my subordinates take it over."

"I know. You get some rest early. I was just worried about you."

Kathy was already sleepy. Now that things were figured out, she fell fast asleep.

Joseph finished his shower and cradled Kathy in his arms. He turned his phone on and a message from Edith popped up.

"Joseph, I forgot to tell you that Kathy called you."

...

A week later.

The day of the retest came in a flash. Kathy relaxed, woke up early, and made her way to the Ocean University.

Joseph was with her today without going to the Joseph's Group.

"Don't be nervous. You know, I'm always here."

Joseph kissed her on the brow.

Kathy smiled. She also treated it normally and wasn't in that desperate mood.

But, she thought she had prepared herself the best she could.

She had no doubts about her own capability.

"You go to the Joseph's Group. I'll meet you after the exam." Kathy didn't want to hold up Joseph's work.

"I'm not relieved until you finish the test."

"What do you have to be worried about? And the results won't come out today. You go to work."

"Do you just want me to go?" Joseph pinched her chin.

Kathy stuck her tongue out. With Joseph there, she was more or less stressed.

"I'll wait for you at the Joseph's Group. Is that okay?" Joseph compromised for now.

Kathy nodded. She stood on tiptoe to kiss his cheek and quickly walked into the school.

Joseph's face sank inch by inch. He got into the car but didn't start the engine for a long time.

Two hours later, the candidates were leaving one after another.

He pushed the door and got out of the car.

Only, when he saw a familiar figure, his face sank.

And apparently, Aaron Fisher saw Joseph too.

He couldn't hide the anger in his eyes. Aaron came over and threw a punch at Joseph.

But Joseph steadily blocked it.

"Mr Fisher, don't forget your identity." Joseph’s face sank.

"I don't need you to remind me of what my identity is. Instead, how dare you show up in front of me?" Aaron stormed off.

Joseph remained poised, "I didn't come over here because of you."

At this moment, Kathy came out as well. Seeing that Aaron was grabbing Joseph's shirt and looking indignant, she ran over worriedly.

Aaron was her interviewer at the retest just now. Why did he seem to be at odds with Joseph?

"Mr Fisher."

Kathy called to him politely.

Joseph took Kathy's hand and brought her into his arms. Aaron looked at the intimate pair and smirked, "So you're Joseph's wife."

"Aaron, don't be a jerk," Joseph said and ignored him.

Seeing that Aaron couldn't hold back his temper and wanted to hit Joseph again, Kathy subconsciously blocked in front of Aaron, "Mr Fisher, this is a school. You'd better pay attention to your image."
