Chapter 225 I Appreciate Your Kindness
Rosalie and Leon attended the dinner held by the organizer as promised the evening of the same day.The venue was a high-end restaurant called Deep Sea near the hotel where the conference was held that afternoon.The organizer had reserved a private room in advance. When both of them entered, the waiter led them upstairs into a private room in the corner.The style of each private room in this restaurant was different. The organizers might have specially arranged an antique-style private room with a strong academic atmosphere for them after considering they were all academics. The moment they entered, they saw a round, mahogany table with a red plum plant in the middle. Beside the table were chairs made out of the same mahogany wood, and there were many calligraphy works and paintings hanging about. Just one look and it was like they had entered someone's study.There were already many guests sitting inside when they arrived. Seeing them come in, everyone's gazes fell onto them
Chapter 226 As If It's That Easy
For a while, the gazes of everyone at the table were brimming with even more admiration as they looked at Rosalie. They wished that could snatch her up as their student.It was just that after seeing her refuse even Senior Lewis, they did not have the nerve to bring it up again.Senior Lewis quickly diverted the conversation topic, but it never left medicine.Due to Rosalie's performance that afternoon, everyone would look to her first whenever Senior Lewis raised new questions.Rosalie felt as if she was participating in another conference.Fortunately, this atmosphere did not last long. Senior Lewis soon realized that the atmosphere was getting a little serious and led everyone to a more relaxed topic.As the juniors, Rosalie and Leon became the object of banter.There were some seniors who persuaded them to drink. Rosalie could not refuse, so she accepted the toasts one by one.After drinking a few cups of wine, she noticed that those seniors were still not done, so she excu
Chapter 227 Quite Attractive
"God damn it, who dares spoil my fun?!" Dr. Cain clutched his waist that was hurting from the kick and climbed to his feet with embarrassment. Before he could take a good look at the person in front of him, another fierce kick landed on his abdomen. That person had kicked him viciously. It hurt so much that Dr. Cain felt himself break out in a cold sweat. He was bowed over for a long time, not saying anything. Rosalie looked at the man in front of her that exuded a coldness from his entire body and could not help but be stunned. Internally, she was inexplicably calm. "Watch your hand. If you don't want it, I don't mind removing it for you." Byron was dressed in an expressive custom suit, his combed back hair revealing his sharp features. His lips were pressed into a line as his eyes and brows were filled with cruelty.It took quite a bit before Dr. Cain calmed down. He looked up, saw the man's face, and knew he was not just all talk. Dr. Cain’s face was instantly paled with
Chapter 228 It's But An Excuse
"I didn't ask you to help me."Rosalie said calmly after a while. Her tone was the same distant one.Byron's brows furrowed slightly as displeasure filled the corners of his eyes and brows. "Is that so? What would you have done if I hadn't interfered just now?" Rosalie dropped her gaze. "I'm a doctor. I would have naturally found a way."After studying acupuncture and moxibustion for so many years, Rosalie knew what acupoints could instantly rid a person’s ability to attack yet not kill them.If the man had gotten any closer, she would not have minded letting him know what the difference was between them as doctors.However, Byron had appeared before she showed her hand. Byron understood what she was saying. He had watched Rosalie from the side when she gave Old Master Quirke acupuncture before and knew the woman was well-versed in the understanding of human acupoints.Considering this, she did have the ability to protect herself just now.Thinking of this, Byron internall
Chapter 229 They Suit Each Other So Much
Rosalie lowered her gaze and adjusted her expression. After suppressing her anger from before, she looked up, and said, "I don't know what I can do to compensate you. When I was out strolling in the afternoon, I found a coffee shop that was rather good. How about I invite you to have a cup of coffee there?"Byron was noncommittal. "That’s fine."With that, he slowly let go of the woman's wrist.As he was leaving, his fingers accidentally touched the tender flesh on the inner side of the woman's wrist. Byron’s eyes darkened slightly. After letting go of her hand, he unconsciously clenched his fingers.The coffee shop Rosalie mentioned was downstairs of the hotel. She and Leon came across it by chance when they got lost in the afternoon.She invited Byron there not because she really thought that the coffee shop was special. It was just because she could only think of this place.The two entered the coffee shop side by side. A waitress quickly greeted them, "Do you have a reservati
Chapter 230 How Do You Want Me To Compensate You?
Byron sipped his coffee with the same expressionless face, but it was to suppress his displeasure.He did not ask the woman to thank him or compensate him by coming here to sit in silence.Although the so-called failed business was just an excuse, did this woman really think that a cup of coffee was enough to make up for his loss?Rosalie put down her glass and turned to look out the window. She had no intention to speak.Firstly, she really did not know what else they had to say to each other. Secondly, she did not want to get too involved with men. This cup of coffee was just to call things even.The discomfort from the alcohol came in bursts. Rosalie would bow her head and drink her coffee from time to time. At the same time, she would see how much the person opposite her had drunk through the periphery of her vision. She wanted to finish her coffee quickly and leave.However, she noticed after the next few times that the coffee in the cup belonging to the person opposite her
Chapter 231 You Can Leave Now
The car slowly stopped at the entrance of the hotel, and Rosalie finally said, "Thank you. Just drop me off here.”With that, she nodded to the man slightly, opened the door, and got out of the car. She staggered and almost fell down the moment her feet touched the ground.When the alcohol got into her head just now, the car was too warm. Although she tried to hold onto her wits, she was still a little sleepy.Her legs turned to jelly after she got off the car. Just as she was about to fall forward, a powerful arm wrapped around her waist and brought her back to the car.The arm retracted after she sat down properly.Rosalie took a few seconds to come back to her senses before she realized what had just happened.The gesture was so intimate that she could not get a word of thanks out."I'll send you up." Byron had already opened the door and got out of the car.Before Rosalie could react, the man was already standing at the car door. His gaze was heavy as he waited for her to
Chapter 232 There Was No Movement For A Long Time
Meanwhile, in Deep Sea Restaurant.Leon had been drinking with the seniors for a while but did not see Rosalie come back and could not help feeling a little worried. With the excuse of going to the toilet, he went out and gave Rosalie a call.Rosalie had almost fallen asleep after thinking about nonsense for a long time, but she was suddenly awakened by her mobile phone ringing.She opened her eyes and was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She did not even look at the caller ID before immediately answering the call. “Who is it?"From the other end, Leon could not help but be stunned. “It's me."Rosalie was fully awake then and felt like she had forgotten something very important."Where are you? Why haven't you come back after so long?" Leon asked anxiously, not knowing what had happened on her side.Rosalie suddenly recalled that she was supposed to be attending the dinner after the academic conference.She thought she could head back after getting a cup of coffee, so s
