My Sweetheart novel Chapter 262

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.
