"Sonny." Kathy's face darkened.
"Alright, I'll stop. Where is Jeremy?" Sonny frowned.
Currently, there were altogether three people participating in the research. Jeremy was one of them. He was also a PhD student in surgery.
Just as Sonny finished speaking, Jeremy arrived. He was wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses and his skin was fairer than most people. And he somehow looked weak.
He was also Professor Lee's student. Previously, he was studying on the campus in Country F. Now he had moved here along with Professor Lee.
"In a sense, I am your senior." Jeremy smiled, but his smile somehow gave Kathy a kind of creeping feeling.
"Hello, I'm Sonny. This is Kathy." Sonny greeted Jeremy and introduced himself and Kathy to Jeremy.
Soon they got familiar with each other. Then they quickly devoted themselves to the research.
Obviously, because one more classmate was around, Kathy felt less anxious. Kathy didn't leave the laboratory until it was dark.
At this time, in the teacher's office.
Joseph was looking at the computer. Zofia had finished her work. But because Joseph didn't leave, she did not leave, either.
Involuntarily, her gaze fell on Joseph. And gradually, increased infatuation appeared in her eyes.
She felt Joseph was simply too attractive.
Suddenly, Joseph raised his head. Zofia tried to withdraw her gaze. But it was too late. Joseph saw her.
"Professor Joseph." Zofia smiled.
Joseph's expression was still serious. "You can get off work now."
"What about you?"
"I still have something to deal with."
"Let me help you. I'm your assistant now." Zofia frowned.
"Zofia, I'm your leader now. Just do what I said!"
Zofia lowered her eyes. Although she was reluctant, she still left the office.
When she walked out, she saw Kathy walking this way. Obviously, Kathy was here for Joseph.
They walked past each other and neither of them felt the need to greet each other.
Joseph was standing by the window. So he saw what had happened clearly.
"Joseph, Zofia is your assistant now?"
"Yes." Joseph nodded.
"If I don't know about this, are you planning on not telling me?" Kathy said grimly.
Joseph hugged her shoulder and bent down to look at her. "I don't know how to tell you."
Kathy and Zofia had split off.
However, for the time being, Zofia could only stay here.
"You think I'll get angry?" Kathy raised her head.
"You won't," Joseph said in a deep voice.
"That's right. Then what made you keep this as a secret?"
"I don't want you to feel uncomfortable," Joseph said in a doting tone.
It hurt him to see Kathy being unhappy.
"I won't feel that bad ... but why her?"
"It was arranged by superiors."
"I think you are also a superior." Kathy knew that Joseph was quite powerful.
She felt there was nothing he couldn't do.
"I'm not." Joseph smiled faintly.
Kathy didn't believe his words.
Otherwise, how could it be so easy for Joseph to work in University F?
"Kathy, I will find a more suitable job for Zofia. If things go well, you won't see her here in the next semester."
"No need to do so. I believe you." Kathy said firmly.
