“Mr. Joseph, what do you want?” Kathy suppressed her anger and asked patiently.
“Sit down,” Joseph ordered.
Kathy pressed her lips, standing motionlessly.
“If you want to know any latest news about Jaydon, you must stay here with me.”
Kathy turned to look at the man. After a long while, she sat back down.
Joseph was dealing with the documents. He had a lot of duties. Besides seeing the patients, he would do other jobs at the same time. He even had to squeeze the time to break every day.
Time passed by. After talking business with Alberta, Kathy gradually felt sleepy.
She hadn’t had enough sleep in the past few days. The temperature in Joseph’s office was just right and it was very quiet. Kathy felt that her eyelids became heavier and heavier...
After reading a report, Joseph looked up, only to find Kathy titled her head while leaning against the sofa, facing him.
Right then, she didn’t look so aloof as usual. Her outlines were softened.
His tightened face was relaxed slightly as well. Putting down his report, he approached her step by step. Then he stopped one meter away from her.
“Kathy...”
His mutter was still full of doting as it was before.
Kathy didn’t wake up until two hours later. She rubbed her eyes and suddenly widened them.
She wondered when she had fallen asleep.
And... she was sleeping on Joseph’s lap.
She screamed and sat up, turning to look at Joseph, who looked a bit surprised with a slight frown.
“You...” Kathy was about to question him. From the corner of her eyes, she saw the notebook in front of him. She couldn’t utter any sound at all.
She met a group of doctors’ gaze.
It turned out that Joseph was in a video conference.
Immediately, she turned around and cast a glance at Joseph. Then she lay prone down and hid from the camera.
“Let’s call it a day. Dismiss.”
After finishing his words, he immediately turned off the camera.
Kathy had been blushed already and didn’t dare to look up.
“Joseph, how come I was sleeping on your lap...” she asked in embarrassment.
The man leaned against the sofa lazily. Slightly looking down, he faintly curled up his think lips.
“You crawled to me yourself,” he said calmly.
Kathy was speechless and confused.
The sofa was quite huge. Originally, Kathy was sitting on the farthest side from Joseph and there was a several-meter distance between them.
How could it be possible?
“Are you kidding me?” she snapped in anger.
“I’m quite busy. I don’t have time to kid you.”
“Do you have any news about Jaydon?” Kathy didn’t want to continue that topic with him.
She sat up and stretched her waist.
Joseph looked at her ruby earlobes, smiling more deeply. However, he quickly hid it.
“Yeah, he’s been rescued.”
“Really?”
Joseph nodded.
Kathy immediately pulled out the cell phone. She tried to connect with Jaydon online, but still, she couldn’t get through.
She looked at Joseph expectantly. The latter said in a flat tone, “The telecommunication hasn’t recovered in the North Pole yet.”
“I see. Will he come back shortly?”
“He hasn’t finished his research and development work yet.”
