Joseph was surrounded by numerous students at the rostrum. Kathy packed her things and waited for Joseph. At some point, Zofia ran over and stuck her head through the window.
“Kathy, how was Joseph during the class?”
Kathy frowned and didn’t know how to describe it.
She only managed to mumble three words, “Not too bad.”
Zofia sniggered, “Joseph is a first-rate professor, of course, his class would be outstanding! I meant to ask if you had exchanged looks with each other. After all, you two were…”
Kathy immediately interrupted what Zofia wanted to say, “There is nothing between us, absolutely nothing!”
“I don’t believe you. I saw you standing behind, were you being punished? Why were you the only one being punished? Was Joseph picking on you?”
Kathy was speechless.
“It’s because I was distracted…”
“Kathy, come with me.”
At this moment, Joseph said with a stern voice.
Kathy picked up her bag and went along.
Zofia looked at the two and shook her head, ‘Brother, your chances are fading…’
Joseph’s tall build walked ahead while Kathy followed but maintained a distance behind him.
At some point, he stopped and Kathy walked right into him without realizing it.
Joseph stretched out his hand and lovingly caressed her forehead, “Are you hurt?”
He sounded like before.
Kathy was dazed and shook her head when she came to her senses. She backed away and said, “No.”
She then realized that they had arrived at the office.
“Why weren’t you paying attention?” Joseph narrowed his eyes. In class as well as while they were walking. “Was it because of me? Huh?”
“Of course not! I didn’t sleep well last night.” Kathy looked away.
She was a bad liar. Her face will flush red whenever she lied.
She was with Joseph for a long time and naturally, he knew this peculiarity of hers. This time was no different.
“Really? You don’t look tired today.” Joseph saw through her lies.
“No.”
“Do you intend to reprimand me?” Kathy looked at Joseph.
When she didn’t pay attention during class, she was mentally prepared to be reprimanded by Joseph.
She just felt uneasy as each time she met Joseph she would not be able to control her emotions.
“I don’t like my students to be distracted during my lessons and a reprimand is necessary but not in a formal manner.”
“Oh? Then what does Professor Joseph intend to do?”
Kathy followed him into the office. The office was just renovated with a grand but elegant and economical decor. The office was right next to the Dean’s office, a clear indication of how high Joseph’s status was.
“Prepare the lesson plan for me,” Joseph said.
“What?” Kathy was stunned.
Joseph tossed a USB drive towards her. “These are the key points of the next lesson. Prepare the lesson plan according to your understanding of the topics. Come to the Joseph’s group with the lesson plan on Monday.”
“Monday? I have a full day of lessons on Monday.” Kathy said.
“You don’t have lessons in the afternoon,” Joseph said.
Kathy thought for a while, he could be right …
But how was Joseph clearer than her on her lesson schedule? She looked at him with suspicion…
“Any problem?”
“Yes, how do you know my lesson schedule?” Kathy asked.
“Have you thought about the question I asked you?”
“What?” Kathy blinked in surprise.
