My Sweetheart novel Chapter 283

Zack said in a low voice as if he saw through Kathy’s thoughts, “You are the person that I trust the most right now and you have experience with this sort of matter. This drug will be our flagship product next year, there is no room for mistakes.”

“But grandfather…”

“No buts, there are still three months left. It should be more than enough time for you,” said Zack, he was irrefutable.

“Go meet Bertie in the afternoon, he’ll take you to the lab.”

“But grandfather, I want to stay with you.”

She wasn’t here to solve problems happening at Booth Group.

But it was obvious that her grandfather’s main intention for her to be here, was so that she could help Booth Group out.

“You wouldn’t need to take a hand in this matter if you want me to go to the lab instead. I don’t have much longer, I don’t really want to run about and deal with Booth Group’s problems on my death bed…” Zack sounded bleak and desolate.

Kathy’s heart ached even though she knew that he was just trying to egg her on. She yielded to his request.

“I’ll go, grandfather.”

“Okay, I’ll be at peace knowing that you are a part of this matter.”

Kathy didn’t look so good when she walked out of the room.

What Zack told her just now meant that she couldn’t avoid coming into contact with Bertie.

She knew that Jennifer controlled part of the Booth Group’s industry and the other part was still in Zack’s hand.

She also knew that Zack trusted Bertie a lot. He was getting old and had temporarily handed his part of the industry over to Bertie.

Joseph would be furious if he found out that she needed to work alongside with Bertie.

But she didn’t want to hide it.

She called Joseph without hesitant.

Joseph’s masculine voice could be heard from the phone, “You miss me already?”

“Joseph, there’s something serious that I need to talk about.” Kathy took a deep breath, “There’s some issue with the new drug at Booth Group and my grandfather wants me to help out at the lab.”

“And you think that I will disagree?” Joseph could tell from her tone of voice.

“Yes, because Bertie will be there,” said Kathy nervously.

“Well, I cannot prevent that from happening, right?” said Joseph, his voice was surprisingly gentle.

Though Kathy could feel a hint of anger in his voice.

Kathy bit her lips, this wasn’t what she wished for.

“I couldn’t say no to grandfather.”

“Mrs. Joseph, I trust you. But you’ll have to hope that I’ll be able to control myself,” said Joseph half-jokingly.

“What would you do?” said Kathy teasingly.

“Bring you away,” answered Joseph without skipping a beat.

Kathy’s heart was pumping. She believed that Joseph would do that without hesitation.

She knew that even though he always seemed gentle and mature, he could be over-bearing and forceful when he wanted to.

“Don’t get jealous so easily.”

“No can do, Mrs. Joseph. I will not allow any male to get near you.”

“I’ll be having male classmates in my class when university starts.”

Even though it was beyond logic, it still made Kathy’s heart melt.

“I’ll kill a hundred.”

Kathy snorted, “Don’t be like that.”

Kathy went to Booth Group in the afternoon.

She talked to the R&D personnel for a while and headed to the lab together.

She was once a part of the research and development of a certain drug, but she wasn’t the person in charge. She was clearly not experienced enough for this.

The medication that Booth Group was developing was named “HIOD”. Kathy looked at the report and saw a familiar name, Edith.

She was the main developer of the drug.

She suddenly remembered that the Hunt family was in country B. Of course, Edith would be here as well.
