"Sonny, I'm sorry." Kathy said in a low voice, "Please tell Professor Lee I don't have the time to complete this project with you."
"Kathy." Color drained a little from Sonny's face.
"If it's because of me, I will leave the team, so other classmates can take over." Sonny said angrily.
Kathy raised her eyebrows in shock. How could he?
This project could come this far only because of Sonny.
"Sonny, you know..."
"Kathy, I have told the professor that you will finish the project with me. Now you tell him you are quitting? He wouldn't like to be fooled around."
Kathy was dumbfounded, irritated by his threat.
"Sonny, I never said that. How can you tell professor already?"
"You have no way out. Kathy, I'm doing this for your own good." Sonny's tone softened and he gazed at Kathy.
She pursed her lips and said in a serious tone, "I'll tell the professor myself."
Then she strode away. Sonny was stunned by her answer and immediately scurried after her.
"Why do you hate me so much?" Gloomy, Sonny blocked her way and asked.
"I don't hate you, but I do hope you can respect me." Kathy said coldly.
"I respect you, but have you ever respected me? If you quit, then this project will be over." Sonny's tone was as cold as Kathy's. "We have worked two weeks for it!"
As he spoke, Sonny's eyes turned red.
Kathy knew that Sonny valued this project very much.
"Kathy, don't worry, I have no feelings for you now." Sonny said seriously.
"I lied to you. I haven't told the professor yet. You can tell him yourself. I lost my temper just now. I'm sorry."
Then Sonny pivoted around and left.
Kathy stood frozen. She thought of Sonny's words and then Joseph. It was only in the afternoon that she dawdled to the professor's office.
After telling the professor that she would stay in that team, Kathy continued that she didn't have much time, so she wondered if there could be one more partner. Professor Lee agreed.
Right after she left the office, Sonny came over.
"Have you decided?" Sonny asked.
"Yes."
Sonny nodded slowly. Kathy did not stay any longer and returned to the dormitory.
At the same time in BV City.
After having meetings all the afternoon, Joseph went back to the hotel room. He decided not to go to the cocktail party tonight.
He asked Quinn to come over, saying, "You do the speech on behalf of me tomorrow."
Joseph threw his drafts at him.
Quinn frowned. "Me? Come on! The famous neurology professor is you, not me. They won't buy it."
Quinn was no more than a businessman. All he thought of was to make money. Those scholars wouldn't be happy to be his audience.
"Then do something about it. I won't be here tomorrow." Joseph ordered.
"Back to see Kathy? She's your student anyway. You can let her come." Quinn rubbed his chin and said.
Anyway, that was how he had brought Veronica over.
Just then, Joseph fixed his cold eyes on him and Quinn immediately fell silent.
Quinn sighed, "I'm not the right person to give this speech, but strangely enough, the meeting was extended at the last minute, which screwed up my plan."
Hearing this, Joseph frowned. Something cold moved in his eyes.
"I have no idea what the people in Marshall Group are up to." Hearing this, Joseph suddenly raised his eyes.
