My Sweetheart

Chapter 582 No Feelings for You

"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. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

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.

"Marshall Group?"

"Yeah. These extra meetings are all added by them. And there are a lot more. I'm too busy to do the speech tomorrow. Sorry, dude." Quinn waved his hand.

Boos was the last thing he wanted to receive.

Just as Quinn left, he saw Veronica wheeling Zofia over.

Zofia was in BV City, so Veronica had stayed with her these past few days. Quinn had been alone for these days.

"Veronica, Zofia, why are you here?"

"You guys didn't have dinner, did you? We planned to grab something at the cafe. We're afraid we won't have time for it at the party." Veronica said.

Quinn was OK with it, but he didn't know the workaholic's idea.

"If Joseph goes, I'll go."

Zofia frowned and turned her eyes to the half-opened door.

"I'll go and ask him." Veronica knocked on the door and entered.

When Joseph saw her in with Zofia, something cold moved in his eyes.

"Do you want to grab something with us?"

"I have things to do."

"Things can wait. You have to eat something. I don't remember the last time we had dinner." Veronica grabbed Joseph's arm, her tone soft and tender.

However, Joseph was immune to it.

"Quinn, take Veronica to dinner."

"Can't we go together?" Angry, Veronica stomped her feet.

"I'm busy. Sorry, Veronica."

"You have to go! If you don't, I won't leave." Veronica sat down anyway.

"Veronica, leave him alone. He has to prepare his speeches. We can get him some takeout." Quinn walked in and tried to save him.

Quinn knew if he didn't do anything, he wouldn't have anything at all.

Veronica pursed her lips. Right on cue, Zofia wheeled nearer.

"Joseph, you don't have to do that. If it's because of me, you guys go ahead. I'll have dinner myself" Zofia said disappointedly.

"Let's go." Joseph stopped his work and said.

Veronica was pleased. "I knew you are the best brother in the world!"

"And you're the most troublesome sister." Shaking his head, Joseph mocked her.

The cafe was downstairs. They were all VIPs, so the waiter arranged a private room for them.

Zofia sat beside Joseph, and Veronica on the other side.

However, not long after, Joseph received a message and his face immediately darkened.

The next second, he glared at Zofia.

Zofia was frightened by his gaze.

"What's wrong?" She asked nervously.

"You're applying to be my assistant?" Joseph narrowed his eyes, his eyes filled with coldness.

Zofia nodded slowly, "I can't work in the hospital now given my condition. There's a job available in University F, so I..."

"I don't need an assistant." Joseph said coldly.

"Zofia followed the standard procedure. I'm afraid it is confirmed officially now." Veronica said.

"I told you, I don't need an assistant." Joseph repeated impatiently.

Standing aside, Quinn didn't know what to do.

"Did you say that because the assistant will be me?" Zofia bit her lips and her eyes welled up.
