After saying that, Rosalie ignored both their reactions and she sat down directly opposite Andrius.Seeing her sit opposite him, Andrius glanced at the person beside him subconsciously. He noted that Byron was still standing, so he hurriedly said, "Byron, since Dr. Jacobs doesn't mind, just sit down for a while. It just so happens that there’s been an issue at Dr. Jacobs' research institute. Maybe you can help!"Byron frowned and sat back down in silence.It had not been easy to reach a point where the woman did not run away the moment she saw him. Naturally, he would not just leave.After Rosalie extended a polite invitation, she then acted as though Byron did not exist. After all the dishes were served, she raised a glass to Andrius. "Thank you for your help with the medicinal materials businesses, Young Master Quirke."Making nothing of it, Andrius smiled. He raised his glass and clinked it with hers before answering knowingly but also not, "Dr. Jacobs’ you’re too kind. In fact
Andrius clearly saw the two of them locking gazes and very sensibly did not say anything.He waited until they withdrew their gazes before looking at Rosalie with a smile. "The few medicinal material businesses that I contacted have only just set up their branches in Coast City, but they can ensure the medicinal materials supply for your research institute. I wonder if you mind this?"Rosalie put her thoughts away, and the smile on her face was spot on. "Since you were the one who introduced them, I believe they’re capable. Also, we’re just a small research institute. We don't need too many medicinal materials. Branch offices are enough for us."Andrius raised his brow slightly. "It's a small research institute now, but with you here, who knows how it’ll develop in the future?"Rosalie pursed her lips and smiled. She did not answer that and just said, "As for confirming the partnership proposals, I wonder what are the medicinal material businesses’ plans?"She just wanted to solve
Rosalie felt distressed for a moment hearing him talk about Estie's condition, but she could not show it in front of Byron.Just when she wanted to pretend that she did not care, Andrius suddenly shifted the topic to her. "Dr. Jacobs, I remember Estelle seemed to like you very much when you came to treat my grandfather before. I wonder if Estelle will get better if she were to interact with you a bit more?"After saying that, he sighed casually. "It was the first time I saw Estelle take such a liking to someone else. I was shocked at the time."Rosalie gripped her cutlery tightly, not knowing how to tell him that she was the reason why Estelle had become like this.To the side, Byron just went along with it as he looked at her with a heavy gaze.In the past, the woman would always compromise as long as he mentioned Estie in front of her. This time, however, the woman had obviously hardened her heart.There was silence at the dining table for a moment. Rosalie could clearly feel
Andrius spent a good portion of his might before he managed to lift the unpleasant atmosphere that he caused just now before discussing with Rosalie about the pharmaceutical industry in Coast City at the present day.Rosalie also conversed with him patiently.Byron, who was beside him, did not speak again. He just drank his wine without saying a word.Seeing that they had finished most of the wine in the bottle, Andrius hurriedly ended the dinner. "It's getting late. Let's just end things here today. I'll have the medicinal materials businesses decide the time as soon as possible."Rosalie did not want to stay any longer either, so she unequivocally agreed.The three of them went downstairs side by side. Rosalie was about to pay the tab but was stopped by Andrius."I was just kidding the last time. How can I allow you to treat me? If my grandfather finds out about this, he’ll lecture me again.”Saying that, Andrius quickly went over to settle the bill. He then turned around and
"Sir?"Seeing his master and Rosalie coming over together, Luther subconsciously thought that Rosalie would be getting into their car. Unexpectedly, he saw her follow Andrius into his car instead while his master remained standing outside.After waiting for a moment, Luther cautiously urged.Byron frowned before bowing down and getting into the car.Luther slowly started the car and drove out of the parking lot.Meanwhile, in the car next door.Andrius asked Rosalie for her address and then instructed the driver to send Rosalie back first.The driver complied.When he tried starting the car, it would not come alive even after a long time. The result was the same even after several attempts. The driver said helplessly, "President Quirke, the car seems to be malfunctioning."Hearing this, Andrius glanced at Rosalie beside him imperceptibly. Her expression was slightly constrained. "It was fine when we came, why did it suddenly break down now?"The driver looked embarrassed. "
Rosalie would not tell him about her relationship with Byron of course.Aside from that, however, she really had no reason to refuse a ride from Byron.Rosalie agreed in the end after some deliberation. She slowed down and walked side by side Andrius.They saw Byron not far away at a glance when they arrived at the gate of the parking lot.The man was wearing a black trench coat and standing ramrod straight beside the car. He was looking in their direction and when he saw the person beside Andrius, his eyes seemed to darken a little."Why don't you wait in the car? It's so cold," Andrius greeted.Byron only replied, "Get in the car."His eyes swept across Rosalie after he said that. He then bowed and got into the car.Rosalie had already been prepared to hitch a ride with him, but for some reason, she felt a little daunted the moment she saw Byron.Right now, she was standing beside the car, unable to move.Seeing her hesitation, Andrius urged, "Dr. Jacobs, get in the car qui
There was dead silence in the car, and one could clearly sense that the atmosphere was completely different from when Andrius was there just now. It made one feel like a storm was coming.Rosalie was sitting practically ramrod straight. Her gaze was locked forward and she was trying very hard to forget about the person beside him.She did not know if it was her delusion, but it felt like the man’s gaze had landed on her substantively after Andrius got out of the car, causing her to tense up subconsciously.Suddenly, the man's magnetic voice rang in her ear."Miss Jacobs, did I offend you?"Hearing his voice all of a sudden, Rosalie let out a breath before replying in a distant manner, "Why did President Lawrence say that?"Byron looked at her with a deep gaze and his tone was filled with displeasure, "Why are you avoiding me like this if I haven’t?"Hearing this, Rosalie frowned slightly, pretending to be at a loss. "Since when have I been avoiding President Lawrence? Or to be p
"President Lawrence, please don't do this. We are but two strangers. I'd be very perplexed if you did this."Rosalie kept calm. She frowned at the person in front of her.After she said that, she saw Byron's lips part inexplicably.The man's cold voice rang through the car in the next second."A stranger? So, it turns out that Miss Jacobs would invite a stranger to dinner as she pleases and that she would also get into a stranger's car. Since Miss Jacobs thinks so, however, I don't mind getting well acquainted with you!"Rosalie was about to refuse him but when she looked up, she saw that the man was already in front of her.The man's large body was filled with an oppressive force in the narrow car which was practically rendering her breathless."What are you doing!" Rosalie looked at the person in front of her, alert.Byron replied leisurely, "I just want to introduce myself to Miss Jacobs properly."Rosalie coldly refused, "I don't want to hear it! I also don't think it's ne
