My Sweetheart
Chapter 354 Am I Important to You

"Why do you change them?"

"Come to hospital. I will give you the answer."

But Kathy said, "... I have something to do."

"See you." Joseph hung off the call soon.

Just the moment, Kathy realized Joseph always waited for her to hang off first when they had a call before.

She started to be disappointed with him.

But Kathy got to think about Joseph's saying on the phone. To change the team?

It was like that there would be all new colleagues here when she came here next week.

Although it was the first stage of the research, the whole process would be postponed by his decision. Kathy left the lab with worry and told it to Zofia.

Zofia asked, "What's wrong with you in your lab? I think Joseph did it with purpose."

Kathy answered, "The colleagues there don't like me." In fact, she did not care about their attitude.

Zofia said, "That's why he would like to do. Joseph loves you too much to see you unhappy there."

Kathy frowned, "He does not..."

"So, he doesn't do it for you."

Kathy kept silent; actually, she was eager to know why he made the decision.

She hated to make the process slow for her personal problem.

Kathy started to say, "I am going to the hospital."

"Hey, will you come back later? Anyway, I will lock our room door."

"Yes, I will go back soon."

"Don't fool me."

""Don't lock the door."

Half an hour later, Kathy got to the hospital and walked directly to Joseph's premier room.

It was almost mid-night when nobody was on the corridor. There was so quiet that she even could hear the noise of her own steps.

Kathy stopped at the door outside his room.

After a while, Joseph said, "Come in."

Kathy bit her lips and opened the door.

Joseph was sitting on the sofa instead of lying on bed; he watched his laptop to work at the time.

He did not shift his eyes from the laptop, only saying, "You told me you have something to do."

Kathy asked, "Why would you like to change the team?"

Joseph got customed to using a couple of words to explain, "They are incapable." "Are you sure?"

"You are not sure about my decision?" Joseph looked at Kathy with his sharp eyes.

"Yes. I am afraid the costs of our first-stage research will be increased."

"The Joseph's Group is able to take it."

"I see."

On the way to the hospital, Kathy had prepared a lot of questions to ask Joseph; finally, she did not ask even one of them.

When Kathy turned around to leave, Joseph said, "So, you come here only for the question?"

"Sure."

"You are not happy with my decision?" Joseph narrowed his eyes to ask.

Kathy always failed to hide her emotion before him. Joseph could see through her easily.

She just answered, "Don't talk this." and was leaving now.

Just the moment, she heard some noise in her back and turned back to see what happened.

Joseph tried to stand up but fell down.

Seeing it, Kathy was going to hold him. But he turned to carry her well in his arms.

Right now, by force of inertia, Joseph was falling down on his back on the sofa, with Kathy in his arms falling down on him. They were too close with each other.

They had been too familiar with each other. Kathy looked up at Joseph and tried to push him with her fingers.

To her surprise, Joseph held her hands so sooner.

Kathy was nervous about seeing Joseph's good-looking face down to her; he intended to kiss her now.

She did not know what to do and had to keep still.

Suddenly, someone walked to his room and opened the door.

Kathy realized it and attempted to push Joseph away immediately.

It was too late after the nurse coming in.

The nurse was much shy to see the couple lying on the sofa, saying uncontinuously, "I... I am so sorry to interrupt you two. I just think you might have some problem..." "I'm ok. Please leave us here." Joseph said with a slight smile.

It was quiet again in the room. Kathy pushed him away now.

She stared at Joseph to ask, "What are you doing?"

"I am drawn to you, but I don't try to put you on the sofa." Joseph explained to her seriously, but to Kathy, it sounded like flirting.

Her face turned hot. She could not stay here to listen to him anymore.

Kathy stood up to say, "Joseph, stop talking. I am going now." She still avoided looking at him.

However, Joseph pinched her chin and hold Kathy in his arms again.

Now Kathy had to have an eye contact with him.

Joseph asked her in lower voice, "Tell me the truth. Ok? Why are you here?"

Kathy avoided seeing him again.

Nevertheless, she could not move herself at all.

Kathy mumbled, "I don't like you to change the team for me."

Joseph was still smiling.

He made a joking with her, "You think you are so important to me?"

Looking at him, Kathy did not consider herself to be important to him.

After all, she was doubtful about his intention.

Or she still expected him to have feeling for her.

Kathy asked him instead of answering, "What do you think? Am I important to you?"

"Yes." Joseph gave her a quick answer.

She was embarrassed to hear it. And it occurred to her that he kissed her just now. She was always obsessed with his aggressive and gentle love. Kathy said, "If so, please don't change the team."

Joseph refused, "I've finished it."

"So soon?"

"They would not like to work with you. So, I don't think they respect me." Joseph said grimly.

There was a rumor about Kathy spreading in the group for some time. Some solution had to be made to the gossiping staff.

"I'm not the one for you."

"I feel annoyed."

Kathy said, "...I can leave the team."

Before she said more, Joseph interrupted her to say, "Kathy, I don't allow you to be disturbed by them."

...

As Joseph requested, John dropped off Kathy to school after mid-night.

Before getting off the car, Kathy had a look at John to ask, "Joseph has asked the old team to do the other researches?"

"Miss Kathy, all of LD Project's team members resigned."

Resigned...

"Thank you."

Zofia was having a call when Kathy came back.

She turned on the light with hearing some noise. She watched Kathy to say, "Wow, Joseph let you go."

"I'm tired." Kathy would not like to talk more.

She was messy in her mind. She expected herself not to love Joseph anymore.

But It was easier thought than done.

Joseph called the team back for her. How could he do it!

Zofia called, "Kathy!"

She found Kathy had a lot of doubts in her mind and came to ask, "What did he do?"

Kathy closed her eyes, "Nothing. I'm really tired."

Everything would be over tomorrow. She tried to stop thinking more.

"Well. Good night."

On Saturday, Kathy usually woke up as weekday. But she had been sleeping until the lunch time today.

When she was awake to get up, Zofia was not in the room.

Kathy felt her mobile phone vibrating and got it to read messages. All of them were repeatedly sent by Joseph, "Come to see me this afternoon."☐☐☐
