Chapter 340 Her Mind in Turmoil

Joseph kept on looking at the report in his hands.

Kathy was quick to leave however just as she reached the door, Joseph’s voice from behind said,
“Something fell.”

She stopped and then realized that when she took the phone her purse had fallen to the ground.

Joseph picked it up and saw that there was a picture inside.

Kathy paused and then grabbed it back almost immediately.

However Joseph had already seen the photo. It was of the back of him wearing a mask in the
laboratory; however it definitely wasn’t taken recently.

It seemed to have been taken about half a year ago.

“Why are you looking at my things!” Kathy was angry.

She wanted to take her purse back, however Joseph raised his hand up so Kathy couldn’t reach it.

“Your things?” He frowned and then took out the photograph from the purse and continued to say,
“Then why do you have my photo?”

“I just forgot to take it out.”

“Really?” It was clear that Joseph didn’t believe her.

“Yes! Now please give it back!”

“Didn’t you say that there was nothing between us anymore? I am taking the photograph.” Joseph put
the photo into his pocket.



Kathy paused and her eyes then flashed down to the photo that had disappeared into his pocket.

“Then can you now please give me back my purse?” She spread her hand open.

“Alright.”

After she got her purse she quickly left.

However it seemed that Joseph’s warmth was still on the purse which she felt on her hand.

She opened the purse and saw that Joseph’s photo was now gone forever.

It was empty.

She was not used to it.

Outside, when Bertie saw Kathy coming out, in a rather gentlemanly way he opened the door for her.

Kathy’s expression remained unchanged as she was still thinking about Joseph.

When he took the photo out, he had such a cold attitude.

What was she still thinking about, wasn’t this a good thing?

However inside she felt very uneasy.

“Kathy?”

Bertie was calling her name a few times until she finally came out from her trance.

At this moment he was already helping her fasten her seatbelt.

Kathy pushed him away and said, “I can do it myself.”



Although there was some anger inside him, he concealed it well.

After half an hour they finally got to the concert hall where Zofia was already waiting for them.

“Fortunately the performance hasn’t started yet. Let’s go inside now.”

Kathy then noticed that next to Zofia was another guy.

It seemed that the two of them had gotten quite close with one another recently. He was called Sonny
Carr and was a student doing a major in neurology who was in the same year as Kathy.

“Kathy.”

Sonny took the initiative to greet her first.

Kathy smiled and then walked over to Zofia and said, “Is he one of your admirers?”

“He is a classmate, just a classmate!” Zofia clarified.

Kathy looked at her with some suspicion.

As they entered the banquet hall, Kathy noticed that Zofia and Sonny were in another area; however
Bertie and her were in the front area.

It seemed as if this was becoming a date between Bertie and herself.

Kathy felt a little tense, but luckily it wasn’t long before the music concert started.

The area around them started to quiet down and the sweet sounding violin music started to play which
made Kathy’s earlier slightly irritable mood calm down.

When you are at a music concert, it doesn’t matter who is next to you.



This was Kathy’s first time attending a music concert and although you cannot say she loved it, at least
it helped calm her down and it was still a nice experience.

The concert lasted for three hours, and it wasn’t until everyone started to give a round of applause that
she was knocked back out of her trance.

“What did you think?” Bertie asked her.

Kathy smiled and said, “The concert was great, I really enjoyed it.”

“As long as you enjoyed it then that’s all that matters.” Bertie’s voice seemed pleased.

Kathy felt a little dazed and quickly looked away.

When they were walking out of the concert hall, Kathy wasn’t paying attention and almost tripped over.

Bertie immediately grabbed her wrist.

“Be careful.”

Kathy frowned and pushed him away. She then looked around and realized that Zofia was nowhere to
be seen.

She wanted to give her a call, however was stopped by Bertie.

“She’s already left. Let me take you back.”

“No need, my school is right nearby, so getting back is very easy for me.” Kathy shook her head.

Kathy raised her head and looked at Bertie and said, “Thank you for the ticket tonight.”

“You already know that I got it especially for you, Kathy.” Bertie’s gaze softened.



He almost never displayed such a gentle expression on his face, unless he was with Kathy.

“Bertie, it’s impossible for us to be.” Kathy coldly interrupted him, turned around and walked away.

Bertie put his two hands into his pocket and gradually narrowed his gaze at her.

His gaze remained on the back of Kathy for a long time.

After she got back to the dormitory, Zofia as expected had already returned.

“Zofia, I’m angry.”

Kathy put on a straight face.

Zofia opened a bag of crisps and was eating them quickly. As she looked at the time she thought that
her brother would have taken Kathy somewhere to eat some food before she came back.

She immediately walked over and asked, “Kathy, why are you angry?”

She didn’t think that this was too much to ask…

“From now on if Bertie asks me to go out with him then please would you help decline the invitation for
me.”

Zofia frowned and felt slightly stuck on what to say, on one side was her brother and on the other side
was her roommate.

It was hard to say who was in the wrong!

“Do you feel that my brother is not so good for you?” Zofia moved to go and sit down.

“Not good.” Kathy didn’t even have to think about her answer.



“Why isn’t he good enough, I will make him change his ways!”

“Even if he changes, I still won’t like him.”

“Alright, well I assumed that tonight at such a romantic place like this music concert, some sparks might
fly between you both…”

Kathy was quiet for a moment.

Kathy glanced at Zofia rather irritably, “I didn’t like him before, I don’t like him now and I won’t like him
in the future.”

“Alright, it seems that you really are still dead set on Joseph.”

After she heard that name her face froze.

“Right now my heart is set on my studies.”

“Really? In the future when Joseph teaches your class, you will still be saying this?”

“Zofia, we have already signed the divorce papers!” Kathy said again.

“Well it is still possible to remarry, but if you don’t then my brother will die of sadness.”

“Ok enough of this conversation, it ends here. I need to do some work now!”

“Joseph is really coming here next week; do you want me to tell you when he will be giving the class?”
Zofia came over.

Kathy pushed away her face and said, “No need!”

“By the way, does Sonny have some feelings for you?” Kathy changed the subject.



Recently Zofia and Sonny really had been getting closer and closer with one another.

In addition Sonny also came tonight.

Zofia really was extremely beautiful and also had a very generous and cute personality which therefore
made it normal for her to have many admirers.

However it seemed that she only wanted Sonny by her side.

When she heard this, Zofia bit her lip and turned around and said, “How would I know?”

“Or could it be that you are the one pursuing him?” Kathy raised her eyebrows at her.

In the next second Zofia ran over to Kathy and covered her mouth, “Of course not! I am the great Miss
Marshall, why would I pursue such a good for nothing like him?”

Kathy laughed and said, “How would I know.”

Zofia couldn’t help but turn red…

…

On Monday the news of Joseph’s appointment as a specially invited professor at Ocean University
spread around quickly.

Every Friday he will come and give the neurology major students a class, every week two classes.

This news undoubtedly made all the students’ at Ocean University very excited. Even if Joseph was
only teaching neurology classes, the students from other majors could still come over and listen in to
the class.



Kathy downloaded the new class schedule and saw that on Friday her first class was to be taught by
Joseph…

She was lying on her bed pulling at her hair irritability as she thought of the image of Joseph standing
at the front of the class teaching with his white shirt, casual trousers, his handsome and smart
appearance, and his both soft and elegant face...

She was closing her eyes, just thinking about it… her mind was a mess…
