Early the next morning.It was almost half-past seven when Rosalie opened her eyes.She glanced at the time and abruptly sat up in bed. After washing up quickly, she rushed to send the boys to school before she could even get a bite to eat.Lisa was only in charge of picking them up from school. Rosalie would drop them off on her way to work every morning.She had made sure to be extra early lately to avoid Byron.However, work had gone on for too long last night, and she could not wake up in time…The entire journey there, Rosalie silently prayed that she would not bump into Byron.As soon as she stepped out of her car, though, she saw a Bentley with a familiar number plate come to a stop behind her.A moment later, the man carried Estie out of the car.Rosalie hastened her footsteps in an attempt to drop the boys off and slip away before Byron and Estie saw her.“Good morning, Miss Jacobs!” Miss Leigh Ann greeted her enthusiastically.Rosalie paused, her heart sinking.On
"Is something the matter, President Lawrence?"Rosalie stopped and looked at the man behind her detachedly, as though he was nothing more than a stranger. Byron frowned deeply as he met her gaze.Her attitude toward him was the reason why he reached out to her as she was moving away, surprising even himself. It felt to him like she would truly vanish from his sight if he did not reach out to her. He did not respond, so Rosalie tried to pull her wrist away with a frown. "If there isn't anything, please let go. I need to get to work."Both of them were very good-looking, and the parents who sent their children here were all prolific members of society as well. Almost all of them knew who Byron was.As such, Byron and Rosalie were already starting to attract some stares.Rosalie was terrified that rumors would start circulating about them if they kept getting tangled up like this. That would cause her another boatload of trouble.Byron noticed that she was struggling against
Byron's gaze darkened, and he was about to continue when a phone ringtone interrupted the strange atmosphere between them.Rosalie coolly looked away from him and took her phone out of her bag, glancing at the caller ID.Leon's name was displayed clearly on the screen.She secretly heaved a sigh of relief. The call came right on time for her. After giving him a curt nod, Rosalie answered the call and headed toward her car.This time, Byron did not try to stop her again. As she walked past him, Rosalie finally felt her heart settle back in her chest. Byron watched her leave, thinking back to the name he saw on her phone. If he remembered correctly, Leon had invited her out for a meal together not too long ago. They seemed to have had fun. Judging by his name in her contact list, they were even on a first-name basis.They had to be even closer than he imagined. Byron's expression gradually darkened at the thought. …"Is something the matter, Leon?"The two of them ex
She was excited to meet these heavyweights and learn from them, so Rosalie quickly put down her cutlery and accepted the invitation. She thanked Leon profusely. "Thank you for thinking of me, Leon! I'm really looking forward to this!"She reacted like a child who had just been given some candy.Leon was all smiles to see her get so excited for once. "Don't need to thank me. You left in a hurry after you performed that surgery for my family, and I didn't have the time to thank you properly. Everyone back home is nagging me to treat you to a meal because they feel bad. Think of this as a token of our gratitude."Rosalie was thrilled at the chance to attend the conference, and she simply smiled in response to his words. "I was in a hurry to pick up my kids that day. Besides, I only did what I was supposed to."She added concernedly, "Oh, right. How is that patient doing now? I didn't have enough time to give him a checkup after the surgery."Leon said, "He was transferred to the norm
After getting home in the evening, Rosalie briefly informed Lisa that she would be going out and asked her to take care of the boys. After returning to her room, she bought herself and Leon early morning tickets the next day.Early the next morning, Rosalie got up and quickly washed up before leaving for the airport.She saw Leon who was waiting at the door of her house the moment she exited. "I suppose it wouldn't be too convenient for you to drive, so I came to pick you up.”Leon opened the car door as he said that. Rosalie thanked him and immediately got into the car none too modestly. The two chatted casually along the way. Seemingly thinking of something all of a sudden, Rosalie looked at the person beside her curiously. "Leon, I recall that your previous stay in the country wasn’t too long before you left abroad for work again. Why is your stay this time so long?" Leon smiled. "I initially decided to leave, but you also know there was a delay because of that elder's
The conference officially started in the afternoon.Rosalie and Leon arrived nearly half an hour earlier.Seeing the people who were coming in one after another, Rosalie could not help but feel a little cautious.As Leon had said, the attending individuals were some of the leading figures in the medical field. Although she had never seen them in real life, she had seen their photos in many medical-related media.Leon brought her over to greet them."Is this Dr. R. Jacobs?" Learning that she was Dr. R. Jacobs, one of the seniors had a suspicious look on his face. "You're so young, and you’re a woman too?"Rosalie had always been a mystery internationally. The public only knew that Dr. R. Jacobs was Quentin Luke's student, but they did expect them to be such a young woman.Seeing Rosalie's appearance now, they could not help but question her.Rosalie noticed the senior’s doubt. She had gotten used to this kind of look over the years. She smiled, not paying any mind to it. She gre
Coast City. Recalling the none-too-pleasant conversation between the two of them yesterday morningByron deliberately went much earlier when he went to send Estie in the morning.The parents at the gate of the kindergarten were far and few between.However, he did not see the woman’s figure. Estie obviously also wanted to see the beautiful aunt. She held onto Byron’s hand and refused to enter the kindergarten even after a long time.Byron frowned. Seeing the little girl hold out, he had to go with her and wait with her at the gate of the kindergarten.After waiting a long time, they finally saw Lucian and Nox, but it was not Rosalie who sent them.Seeing the person who came, Byron’s brows knitted slightly. He led Estie forward. "Where's Miss Jacobs? Isn't she the one who always sends Lucian and Nox to school in the morning?"Lisa had not seen Byron even once ever since they separated at the hospital the last time, so she was not aware of the fight between him and Rosalie. She
Byron saw Luther waiting at the door of the office the moment he went up after arriving at the company."Sir." Luther stepped up quickly when he saw Byron arrive.Byron frowned. "What's the matter?"Luther's expression was solemn. "A problem occurred with operations in North City and an executive needs to be sent there. Who do you think should be sent over?""North City?" Byron's eyes darkened. Thinking of the woman in North City now, he replied coldly, "I'll head there myself."Hearing this, Luther could not help but be stunned. "Your schedule today..."The problem in North City was not so serious that his master needed to personally head over. Moreover, he had other arrangements today.Byron interrupted him, "Buy the earliest ticket and postpone my schedule today."With that, he turned and entered the elevator.Luther quickly affirmed and arranged Byron's original schedule with utmost haste. After buying the tickets, he caught up to him.It was mid-noon when both of them ar
