Over the years, there was no other woman around Xander but her.Even though she was two years older than Xander, Stacy acquiesced that she would be the future Lady of the Lancer family, but she did not expect to meet such a person today.Seeing Rosalie surrounded with praise from everyone, Stacy became even more restless.Stacy glanced around and saw Xander toasting with other doctors on the other side. She refilled her glass of wine, got up and walked over."Xander, haven't you finished yet?" Stacy usually came to Xander's side when exerting her authority.Soon, her girl gang nearby let out a party cheer.Xander was talking with a few people about medical issues, and was suddenly interrupted by Stacy, the smile on his face faded. "It will take a while, Stacy. If you are bored, you can take the ladies back first. When I’m done with my work in a while, I'll come visit you."This was a tactful order to evict her.Stacy felt unhappy for a while, but she walked closer to him with a
"What does Young Master Xander want to discuss with me?"After taking a seat, Rosalie bit the bullet and asked.She really did not want to cause trouble, and Stacy's eyes were fixated on her. If Xander could not come up with a reasonable explanation, Rosalie felt that Stacy's eyes were going to devour her.Xander knew her situation well and didn't embarrass her. He said lightly, "This cooperation depends on the great efforts of Dr. Jacobs and Young Master Martin. I must thank you in advance."Finished, he raised his glass and drank bottoms up.Rosalie politely followed with a toast and took two sips."Stacy sis, where did that woman come from? Why does Young Master Xander seem to value her so much?""Could she be involved with the young master? She looks like she can seduce men!""..."Stacy’s girlfriends who saw Xander's attitude towards Rosalie, immediately speculated with displeasure in Stacy's ears.Stacy originally felt that Rosalie was a threat to her status, but now sh
Rosalie realized Stacy's hostility towards her, frowned as she tried to explain. "I think you must have misunderstood..."Stacy interrupted her explanation impatiently. "I only trust my eyes; you'd better remember what I said!"After she finished speaking, she turned and left without waiting for Rosalie to speak again.Rosalie felt helpless for a while, turned around and returned to her seat."Sorry, did I cause you trouble?" Xander said apologetically after she was seated.Rosalie smiled helplessly. "If Young Master Xander encounters such a situation again, please don't use me as a shield. I think Miss Hudson has misunderstood me."Xander was even more helpless. "I feel that she also misunderstood me."Otherwise, she would not have acted like the host just now.If it were not for the family ties, Xander would have already spoken up."But, don’t worry. You can rest assured that when I go back, I will explain to her clearly, and I won't let her go and cause you trouble." Xander
“I’ll send Miss Jacobs home.”Xander’s voice came from beside Rosalie.Rosalie was shocked when she heard that and subconsciously wanted to reject. “No, it’s...”She knew Xander was now her friend since she had gotten to know him for some time. However, she did not think she and Xander were close enough for her to let Xander send her home.She turned Leon down because she felt it was inappropriate.However, Rosalie rejected Xander’s offer because she felt they were still unfamiliar with each other.Xander could see the difference when Rosalie rejected both of them. He knew her intention, yet he still felt a little disappointed.“Miss Jacobs, it’s my pleasure to send you back. We’ll be working together, and I’m sure we’ll meet each other often in the future. I want to enhance the relationship between us to have better cooperation.”Xander continued persuading Rosalie as he tried hard to calm his disappointment. “Moreover, I’m heading back to my place, and your house is on the wa
"Stacy, what are you doing?" Xander stood in front of Rosalie with a dark expression.The wasted Stacy was not in a rational state of mind. Now that Xander was protective of Rosalie, the ire in her flared up."Get out of my way, Xander. It's none of your business…" Stacy's voice was still gentle when she confronted him. She even attempted to force herself to smile.His brows knitted together. "Stacy, people are watching, so watch your actions. If you're drunk, you should get home early."With that being said, he raised his eyes to signal her friends to come over and bring her home.They caught on to his sign and approached Stacy gingerly.However, Stacy noticed them the moment they inched closer."Get away from me!" She screamed at the top of her lungs and shot glares at them. She then turned her head to look behind Xander. "Rosalie Jacobs, stop hiding! Why are you cowering there? Are you guilty?"With a frown, Rosalie met her gaze. "Miss Stacy, please come back to your senses.
As she said this, Stacy lunged toward Rosalie before everyone else could react.Due to Xander pushing Stacy earlier, Stacy was standing closer to Rosalie with no one else in between them.When Leon turned to look at the ruckus, Stacy had already lunged forward.“Rosalie, watch out!” Leon only managed to pull Rosalie behind him.On the other side, Xander came over just in time and grabbed Stacy’s arm. “That’s enough from you!”Having missed Rosalie with her lunge and getting reprimanded by Xander, Stacy’s emotions intensified. She started to cry from her grievance. As she cried, she pointed at Rosalie and cursed angrily.As more people came out of the hotel and saw the farce outside, they stopped to watch the show.Rosalie stood behind Leon, still in shock. As she saw the crowd gather, she knew she had to step forward.If she let this brew any longer, who knew what sort of rumors it could cause the next day?Thinking of this, Rosalie took a deep breath to control her emotions a
"President Lawrence, then we..."Someone carefully asked for Byron’s opinion.Byron frowned. Without opening his mouth, he turned around and walked toward the employee walkway mentioned by the manager.He took two steps and suddenly heard a hoarse female voice coming from the door."This b*tch Jacobs! It's all your fault! If it weren’t for you, Xander would never ignore me!"Byron stopped in his tracks.Seeing this, everyone around him hurriedly stopped and looked at him with puzzled expressions.Only Luther knew his young master’s thoughts and immediately said, "Master, I'll go over and take a look." Byron nodded, and his eyes turned dark.With the permission of his boss, Luther strode back to the door of the hotel.Everyone who accompanied Byron waited in place. There was confusion in their hearts.‘Wasn’t President Lawrence disgusted by the commotion at the door? Why is he interested now?’After waiting for a while, Byron saw Luther walk back from the door with a solemn
Shaken by the man’s aura, there was a brief silence in the crowd."That's President Lawrence!"Seeing the man walk past the crowd, someone regained their senses and whispered.Hearing this, the crowd quickly exploded. They could not hold back as they stared at Byron’s back as he walked past them.Although the crowd was made up of people from famous families in Coast City, their status was nothing compared with Byron. These people had no chance to meet Byron in person.Since it was a rare opportunity to catch a glimpse of this person, the crowd might as well stare to their heart's content.What was more, with a face like Byron’s, it was like catching a glimpse of luxury.Rosalie stood in the middle of the crowd, watching the man walk toward her. The expression on her face froze, and she felt as though she was having an out-of-body experience. She did not know how to react at that point and even thought bitterly about how unlucky she was. She only wanted to go out for a work event
