Since Byron was going to face Xander with her tomorrow, he did not ask further and went to bed early with Rosalie in his arms.At first, Rosalie thought it was a little inappropriate. Then, when she considered what they had already done last night, there was nothing left to hide. She obediently lay in his arms and fell asleep.The next morning, the two of them woke up early, and Byron personally drove her to the research institute.The two checked the details of the contract in Rosalie's office, waiting for Xander's arrival.With Byron's guidance, Rosalie became more certain about the details of this partnership.At nine o'clock in the morning, Xander appeared at Rosalie's office on the dot.He saw Rosalie sitting on the single sofa at the side, while Byron lounged on the couch in the middle, discussing something with his head down.Although they were not on the same sofa, their gestures were intimate.For a moment, Xander's eyes darkened at the presence of the other man."You
Rosalie subconsciously looked at Byron beside her.Byron nodded.With his approval, Rosalie felt more relaxed and announced the preliminary results they had just discussed.“In my opinion, in this cooperation, Lancer Corporation provided us with the medicinal materials and the subsequent sales channels. However, in terms of technology, it was the research institute that made the biggest contribution. It can be said that the research institute mastered the core technology of new drugs. Based on this and our previous cooperation experience with other companies, the research institute wants to take the majority of the profit distribution this time.”Although Rosalie, who was in charge of the research institute, did not know much about this aspect, she expressed her stand confidently.Byron listened as he looked at Rosalie, who spoke seriously. He subconsciously revealed his appreciation for her.Xander could not believe his ears and said, “Sorry, I didn’t get what you said. Miss Jac
“Rosie’s part of this research is the technology. The medicinal materials given by Lancer Corporation were just for this batch. If you aren’t happy with the division of profit, it doesn’t matter. We can divide the profit for this batch of drugs produced using your materials by the percentage you’re satisfied with. However, the research institute also has the right to only sign the contract of this batch of drugs with you.”Then, Byron continued slowly, “This means that after this batch of drugs is sold, Rosie can take the technology to seek cooperation with other suppliers of medicinal materials. What about Lancer Corporation? Where else can you find an institute that can make it?”He was implying the status of the research institute was higher than Lancer Corporation in this project.Rosalie did not need Lancer Corporation.Instead, Lancer Corporation needed Rosalie to get the drug produced.The party leading the project should be the research institute instead of Lancer Corporat
Xander could not say anything as what Rosalie said was also true.After pondering for a while, he stood up from the sofa and said, “Since you’ve said so, we have nothing to discuss!”Then, Xander left the office angrily.The sound of the door slamming shocked Rosalie, leaving her dumbfounded.“Did that scare you?” Byron got up and walked to her side.Upon hearing his voice, Rosalie snapped out of her daze and lamented, “No. I’m just surprised. I did not expect Young Master Xander to act like that.”He admired her more and hugged her shoulder, embracing her in his arms.Rosalie sighed. “Is everyone in the business field such a hypocrite?”Byron stroked her back to appease her. “Would you be afraid if I were also like that?”That left Roslie recalling Byron’s method of dealing with business silently.After thinking for a while, she realized she had already known his style and accepted it.She smiled carefreely. “I won’t seem to be surprised if it were you.”Byron seemed sligh
Aware of this, Rosalie was glad she did not fall into that trap.It was because she had been alerted and kept her guard on Xander. At the same time…“Fortunately, I asked you in advance, or I might have fallen into Xander’s trap.”She smiled gratefully at Byron.Looking at Rosalie, who had seen Xander’s true colors, Byron was pleased. “I can continue helping you in matters like these if you want, and I’ll do it free of charge.”As he spoke, his gaze on Rosalie looked ambiguous.Rosalie quickly realized what he meant and pushed the man away as her face flushed red.Byron looked at her shy expression and smiled. Then, he diverted the topic to business and stopped teasing Rosalie.“It won’t be bad even if Lancer Corporation refuses to sign the contract. Their medicinal materials are only of better quality than those in the market. They don’t have any special qualities. You can get high-grade medicinal materials from other pharmaceutical companies with a high price to make this dru
After discussing the countermeasures, they decided they could compromise a little in the profit distribution.Rosalie texted Xander, saying she could give him another 3% of the profit. If Lancer Corporation refused to accept this, their cooperation would have to end.There was no reply from that end.It was almost noon, and the matter on Rosalie’s side was practically settled. Thus, Byron took her out for lunch.To make up for the last time, Byron booked a table in the best restaurant in Coast City.He even ordered a couple’s meal.The two were seated at the table led by a waitress.“Sir, the drinks in your couple’s meal are sold out. Would you like a replacement or a refund?”After confirming their booking, the waitress asked Byron.Noticing it was a couple’s set, butterflies fluttered in Rosalie’s stomach. Never did she expect Byron would do something childish like this.Byron, however, calmly presented the menu to her. “Look at what you want to drink and order more food. I
Byron served her food to prove his sincerity. He kept saying romantic phrases and helping her out with the food gentlemanly, making her feel shy and happy at the same time.After lunch, the waitress served a few desserts. “These desserts are gifts from our restaurant. Best wishes to you.”Rosalie thanked the waitress gently.Unsure if it was a coincidence, the restaurant served them three desserts.“I wonder what the kids are doing now. Estie likes tiramisu the most.”The desserts reminded her of the three little ones.Byron said, “It’s supposed to be their lunch break now. If you’re worried about them, let’s go to the kindergarten and bring them the desserts.”At the thought of seeing the three kids, Rosalie’s mood brightened. “I have that in mind too.”They asked the waitress to help them pack the desserts and headed to the kindergarten.On the way, they called Miss Leigh Ann.When they arrived at the kindergarten, Miss Leigh Ann also happened to come out of the lounge with
The three little ones finished their desserts, and Rosalie sent them back.Back in the car, she looked at Byron, who pretended nothing had happened. Unable to contain her curiosity about his act, she asked, “When did I agree to go to a movie with you this afternoon?”Byron turned around and looked at her calmly. “I chose to decide for you because I knew you would reject my invitation if I asked you.”Rosalie looked away guiltily when he spoke out her thought.She could guess what he meant. He thought of today as a date.For her, it was somehow a bit of a surprise.She said nothing for a while, and Byron was a little disappointed. “If you’re unhappy with this arrangement, we can watch the movie another day. I’ll buy the gifts for the children later.”Rosalie noticed the disappointment in his tone and shook her head with a smile. “No. I just think I should prepare for...”Byron looked at her lovingly. “You don’t have to prepare yourself. You’re always beautiful.”Rosalie blushed
