Chapter 413 A Superior Giving an Order

Joseph stopped in front of her and said, “You were nervous just now? Hm?”

Joseph was able sense how she was feeling just now.

“I’m fine.” Kathy muttered.

She did not want to admit anything in front of Joseph.

“Sorry for troubling you today, Doctor Kathy.” Joseph then quickly left.

Kathy felt slightly baffled when she heard him call her that.

This was the first time that someone had called her that.

She was after all still just a student and an intern at the hospital. However, Joseph calling her by this
name gave her a feeling of recognition.

The smile on her face spread.

However a second later Ella said coldly, "The patient needs to remain in the hospital for observation, so
tonight you need to stay on duty.”

The way she said this made it seem like she was a superior giving an order.

Kathy frowned, for she had always known what her job obligations were, and the person to stay on duty
was Ella therefore she would not agree to this.

“Miss Bridges, I am scheduled to work tomorrow morning. In addition, I think you need to consider what
your position is before you can expect me to follow your orders.”



After she said this she quickly returned to the office and wrote down the notes regarding today’s
surgery.

Just as she was about to leave, Joseph walked in holding his white doctor’s coat that he had just taken
off.

Kathy handed the report over to him and said, “Dr Joseph, here are the written notes regarding today’s
surgery.”

“Ok.” Joseph responded but didn’t look at it straight away.

“Would you like to eat with me in a bit?” His flat tone made it seem as if he was just casually asking.

Kathy’s face froze and she quickly shook her head.

“I need to go back to my school.”

“Then how about I drop you off there?”

“It’s not on your way.” Kathy was trying to find an excuse.

Once she had packed her bag she quickly walked out.

Joseph frowned, and when he raised his eyes up again Kathy was already gone.

The expression on his face looked sullen.

It didn’t take long for Ella to come over. There were still three more days until the wedding; however
Joseph hadn’t helped with any of the preparations.

She had been feeling uneasy all the way up to now.



Obviously she was very close to being finally happy with him, however why did she still feel that this
man didn’t belong to her.

A look of disappointment appeared on her face, she wanted to say something however hesitated when
she saw the apathetic look on his face.

“Joseph, there are just three days left until the wedding, I’m… I’m feeling very nervous.” She said rather
apprehensively.

Once he heard this, Joseph looked up from his pile of medical records and then said rather
indifferently, “Let your family come over and accompany you, you don’t need to come to work these
next few days, just stay in the apartment and clear your mind.”

Ella pursed her lips and said nothing.

Her family were coming on the day of the wedding and she wasn’t the kind of person who liked to sit
around doing nothing idly. In addition all she would do in the apartment is overthink, therefore it would
be better to keep coming to the hospital to work, since this way she would sometimes also be able to
see Joseph.

“I think things are fine as they are now. Joseph, have you tried on the groom’s suit yet?” Ella asked.

A sudden coldness flashed in his eyes, “Had no time.”

Once he said this he hurried out to attend to other matters.

Ella touched her chin and watched the back of Joseph’s cold and detached figure.

This was so hard to bear.

Outside, John had already arrived with the car.



Joseph sat in back with the same sullen expression as before.

John took his bag and placed it in the front seat and then said, “Joseph, this suit has been in the office
for a long time now…”

John’s voice was becoming quieter and quieter as Joseph’s expression grew colder and colder…

After he put down the bag he immediately withdrew his hand away.

His eyes fell onto the groom’s suit in the box which had a note left by Ella for him. I didn’t know your
exact size, so I prepared two sizes in case.

“Joseph, where do you want to go?” John asked nervously since his boss wasn’t making any sound.

“To Joseph’s residence.”

Veronica had been waiting for her brother, so as soon as she saw him arrive she pushed the
wheelchair forward.

“Joseph, you are getting married on the weekend. It seems you haven’t been getting enough rest
recently, every day you are staying up all night.” Veronica said rather concerned.

“Why are you not asleep yet?” Joseph asked instead of answering her.

“Is there something on your mind?” Joseph frowned and looked at his sister worriedly.

“I’m just concerned about you; you are getting married in two days.” She then said anxiously, “And
Grandfather really isn’t coming.”

She was the only member of the Joseph family that would be attending, it really was quite sad.



But she knew that her brother didn’t care about this at all. After she had gotten to know Ella, she also
helped with the wedding preparations.

But Joseph was completely unaware of any of this.

“I see.” Joseph’s face made it seem like he was unconcerned.

“I asked Ella and she said her family would be arriving a day before the wedding, however only her
brother would be attending.” Veronica then frowned and said, “I didn’t expect that she would have such
a small family.”

After he heard this his face turned gloomy.

Not long after John came over to the study and reported to Joseph.

“This is Maria King’s recent itinerary. I don’t think before she knew about the matters regarding Ella.”

“Notify her of Ella’s marriage.”

“Although she will be attending an international conference tomorrow, the news should have already
reached her ears.” John always handled things well.

Joseph narrowed his eyes coldly, took out a cigarette and put it between his fingers. He looked both
haughty and lonely as he stood in front of the French window.

…

The end of the term was near and Joseph had suspended his classes for next week were the exams.

On Saturday Kathy went over to the Joseph’s Group as usual. The senior management informed
everyone that they needed to accelerate the progress of the research and development; therefore



Kathy almost didn’t get any time to rest for the whole day.

Two students from Ocean University had already complained.

After all, they were already overloaded with a lot of school work due to the upcoming exams; therefore
they were not so invested in these extracurricular research and development tasks. They just wanted to
finish the work they had to do and then leave.

However the person in charge said that it would be preferable if they were also able to come into work
on Sunday to do overtime.

Kathy had no problem with this, and in any case tomorrow was Joseph’s wedding, and she didn’t want
to go.

Meanwhile on the top floor of the Joseph Group’s building.

After Joseph’s meeting, the person in charge had already submitted today’s research and develop
report.

“Is there still enough people?” He asked.

Because right now they needed to speed up the progress, the colleagues in the research and
development department had been doing overtime every day.

“It’s all good, Mr Joseph is thinking…” The person in charge did not dare to guess what Joseph meant.

“Several of the students from Ocean University will be on holiday soon, which means during the holiday
period we can ask for them to come here more often. This new drug will be finished by next year.”

“I understand.”

All the way until the evening Kathy had been inside the laboratory, and she was now alone.



It was already eight o clock.

After she had finished packing her things she was about to open the door and leave.

When she was walking she saw a tall figure appear, Joseph was pushing the door open.

Kathy froze, and stared at him without blinking.

At this time… why was he here?

Without thinking, Kathy held the door closed causing Joseph to be blocked outside.

He frowned and his expression turned sombre.

After his long fingers unlocked the door easily, he then strode inside.

Kathy’s face was turning pale.

“Mr Joseph, do you need something?” Kathy was trying to keep her voice as calm as possible.

“Yes.” Joseph’s handsome face looked calm, his eyes fixated on Kathy.

She started to feel very uncomfortable with his gaze…
