Chapter 406 I Will Make Her Stay Put


    Kathy went to the hospital in the afternoon. Benedict was holding a special consultation session today


    and hence she needed to be there.


    On the way, she went to pick up some documents. E was on duty.


    “Miss Bridges，I need these, please,” said Kathy as she handed the form she filled out earlier.


    E answered with a slight arrogance, “This form had some information crossed out on it. I need you to


    fill out a new one.”


    Kathy frowned, this wasn’t a requirement she knew of.


    But she needed to get the documents over soon, so she quickly filled out a new form.


    E walked over to get some water. She deliberately bumped into Kathy and the water in the cup spilt


    all over.


    The newly filled out form was now all wet and soggy.


    Kathy looked grim, she knew that E did it on purpose!


    E pretended to be apologetic, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to…”


    “E, I really need these documents. The professor has already started his consultation,” said Kathy in


    a harsh tone.


    But E moved slower than ever, “Even so, we still need to follow the protocol. I cannot give you


    special treatment, you know?”


    “There’s a camera here, it records everything you’ve done. I willin about you if you keep


    interrupting my work on purpose. I think you are not officially employed yet, right Miss Bridges?”


    E’s face turned pale, she red at Kathy angrily.


    But she did notice that there was a camera and didn’t dare to pull any stunts anymore.


    She had some connections here, but she shouldn’t be stirring up unnecessary trouble.


    She grabbed the form that Kathy handed in from the start and found the documents that were needed.


    “Thank you.”


    Kathy was only done with work around the evening. It was already nighttime by the time she finished


    up everything.


    She nned to eat after she got back to the university. Unanticipatedly, she saw Joseph walking into


    the hospital building just when she was going to leave.


    Their eyes met.


    Kathy remained emotionless and she quickly looked away.


    Their shoulders touched and Kathy could smell that familiar scent from him. She felt a tingle in her


    nose.


    Joseph didn’t even nce at her.


    Bertie watched them from afar and he grimaced.


    “Kathy, let me send you home.” Bertie drove closer to Kathy when he saw that she was going to take


    the bus.


    Kathy ignored him, she continued walking to the bus stop.


    Bertie followed her patiently. He drove behind the bus after Kathy got on the bus. He trailed the vehicle


    until she got off the bus at the university stop.


    He parked his car at the entrance, and he called his assistant.


    “How is the investigation going?”


    “I’ve already forwarded the information about the Bridges family to your email. E and Joseph are


    getting married next month.”


    Bertie grabbed his phone tightly hearing the news.


    …


    Time passed in a blink of an eye and it was Friday. Kathy went to the ssroom earlier than usual. To


    her surprise, Joseph was already in the ssroom.


    A few students surrounded him, and they were discussing something.


    Kathy tried to read her book, but the people sitting close to her was gossiping loudly.


    “Is Professor Joseph really getting married to E?”


    “Who is E? Is she good enough for our dear Professor Joseph?”


    “I don’t know, but I heard that she works as a nurse at Ocean University’s hospital.


    “How did someone like her caught Professor Joseph’s eyes? I hate it…my crush…is going to be


    someone else’s husband…”


    Kathy frowned, the gossiping bunch finally stopped when the ss was about to start.


    Joseph’s sses were always very interesting. The atmosphere in the ss was nice and the students


    took part proactively in the assignments given.


    But she was in a daze…


    Joseph walked up to her and tapped his slender finger on the table.


    Kathy froze. She looked up and there was a hint of unsettledness in her eyes.


    She knew that Joseph hated it when his student daydreamed in his ss.


    “Professor Joseph,” said Kathy as she stood up worryingly.


    “Answer my question from just now,” said Joseph sternly.


    Kathy tried to look at the screen, but there was nothing on it…


    “Sorry, I wasn’t paying attention just now.” Kathy bit the bullet and told the truth.


    “Come to me after ss.”


    Kathy thought that Joseph was going to scold and maybe even punish her. But instead, he left her with


    such gentle words…


    Kathy was stunned, her ssmates were taken aback too.


    Kathy sat down and what Joseph just said kept repeating in her head. Though, she didn’t dare to not


    pay attention in ss anymore.


    During Benedict’s ss she could concentrate throughout the whole ss without any problem, why


    couldn’t she do the same during Joseph’s ss…


    Kathy went to Joseph’s office after ss and waited for him.


    She felt a bit irritated knowing that she had to be alone with him.


    She stood by the window and saw Joseph walking towards the office. He was wearing a white dress


    shirt and a pair of ck cks. He looked noble and elegant. He had a gentle expression on his face,


    but he gave off the feeling that he didn’t want peopleing too close to him.


    A few female students were following him around and they had looks of love and admiration in their


    eyes. This made Kathy even more irritated.


    Kathy was doing her work when Joseph came into the office.

    He walked closer and sat opposite of her.


    “Sorry, I was upied recently and couldn’t give you extra sses,” said Joseph.


    “It’s okay, I will revise properly on my own,” answered Kathy inly.


    “What were you thinking about during ss?” Joseph looked at her with heated eyes.


    Kathy didn’t want to get drown in her feelings anymore. She looked at his perfectly neat dress shirt


    cor and said, “It’s some private matter. You shouldn’t poke your nose into it, Professor Joseph.”


    “I want to know,” answered Joseph.


    Kathy snickered, “No can do.”


    Suddenly, his phone rang. Kathy was sitting close to the phone, she lowered her head slightly and saw


    who was the one calling.


    E.


    “I’ll be taking my leave. You are a busy man, Professor Joseph. I shouldn’t take up your precious time


    for extra sses.”


    Joseph called out to her when she was about to leave the office. He had already hung up the call.


    “Kathy.”


    “Is there anything else about the ss that you want to talk to me about, Professor Joseph?” Kathy


    turned around and the expression in her eyes was bleak and frigid.


    Joseph pressed his lips together, there was a ruthless look in his eyes but he quickly suppressed it.


    “I will keep my promises. Come here tonight for the extra lessons, I will be waiting,” said Joseph in a


    deep tone of voice.


    Kathy frowned unhappily, “Miss Bridges will be mad if you go homete right, Professor Joseph?”


    “I don’t live with her,” answered Joseph coldly.


    “But I don’t want to be alone with you. I will get in trouble with Miss Bridges if she finds out about it,”


    responded Kathy.


    E was already giving her a lot of problems in the hospital. Kathy just wanted to do her postgraduate


    in peace.


    “I will tell her to stay put.”


    “The best way to make her stay put is that we keep a distance with each other, Professor Joseph.”


    She kept calling him Professor Joseph as a way to emphasize their current rtionship.


    Joseph had a glum expression on his face.


    He grabbed onto her wrist as she was about to leave. He then closed the door and slightly pushed her


    against the wall.


    Kathy red at him furiously, “Joseph, enough!”


    Joseph didn’t say anything back. He squinted his eyes and locked his gaze onto her.
