Rosalie thought that the list of partners of the Lancer family would not be announced until a few days later.Unexpectedly, as soon as she woke up the next morning, Leon's call came in.Rosalie picked it up in a daze."Have you seen it? The Lancer family has announced the list of partners." As soon as the call was connected, Leon spoke.Hearing this, Rosalie was wide awake. "Why did they release it so suddenly?"She was not ready yet...Leon smiled. "I don't know either, but I heard that there may be a project kick-off press conference in two days. There may be reporters present, and it’s necessary to prepare well for this. Reporters now can be very tricky, and no one knows what questions they’ll ask, especially toward a newcomer like you without much background."Rosalie responded gratefully, "Thank you for reminding me, Leon. I’ll prepare well."On the other end, Leon followed up and said, "Congratulations, Dr. Jacobs. Now, you’ll be making a name for yourself here in Somerla
Stacy also saw the news.When she saw Rosalie's name on the cooperation list, Stacy's face became extremely ugly.Not only was this woman really cooperating with Xander, but her name was even placed so high. This kept Stacy thinking about the distance between Rosalie and Xander that night.‘What right does she have?!’Staring at Rosalie's name on the screen for a long time, a shadow flashed across Stacy's eyes.She wanted everyone to see the true colors of that b*tch!‘She’s nothing but a woman who relies solely on her face. I don’t know what drug she gave Xander, but he actually gave her a ranking on the list.‘That woman thinks she’s all that now!‘Let's wait until I expose her true colors, then I’ll see how she’ll survive in the domestic medical field in the future!‘At that time, even if Xander likes that face of hers, he’ll definitely not be able to be with that woman!’Thinking of the scene where Rosalie was spurned by the crowd, Stacy felt relieved for a while.With
Meanwhile, Rosalie asked Mary to pick up the two little boys so she could make it to her appointment on time. She spotted Xander’s car the minute she left the house. The man got out of the car the minute he saw her coming out of the house. After looking behind her, he asked in a slightly disappointed voice, “The little guys aren’t home from school yet?” Rosalie nodded. “I asked a friend to go pick them up. Is there a reason you’re looking for them, Young Master Xander?” Xander nodded his head noncommittally. “I prepared gifts for them, but let’s forget it since they aren’t here. I’ll pass the presents to them myself the next time we meet.” Rosalie was surprised when she heard he had really prepared gifts for the little guys. She had not expected Xander to be that thoughtful. “Yes, it would only be appropriate for you to hand the gifts over when you prepared them yourself, Young Master Xander,” Rosalie said once she had regathered her thoughts. She pressed her lips together
Xander was initially surprised by what Rosalie said but then found her answer reasonable just about a split second later. After all, ever since he had gotten to know Rosalie, he had known she was not a shy person. When that thought appeared in his mind, Xander gave the woman sitting in the backseat an appreciative glance. Rosalie had a neutral expression but a determined look in her eyes. Xander felt his heart flutter when he saw the expression on her face.The traffic was slightly congested, and the two barely made it to the restaurant in time. They had expected Stacy to already be there. However, they did not even catch a glimpse of Stacy when they arrived. Upon seeing the empty table, the two exchanged glances. They both had a feeling that something was off. “I’ll make a call and ask,” Xander said after the two sat down. There was a frown on his face. Rosalie nodded in agreement. She felt slightly uneasy but did not know where this feeling of uneasiness stemmed. “
After hanging up the phone, she slowly got up and adjusted her expression before deliberately acting flustered as she headed toward the restaurant.“Sorry for making you guys wait.”Stacy glanced at the two apologetically as she walked in through the door. Upon seeing that she had finally arrived, both Rosalie and Xander heaved an inward sigh of relief as they smiled at her and said, “It’s no big deal. Hurry over and sit down!” Stacy nodded and sat down next to them. When she noticed they had not even taken a single bite of the food, she clicked her tongue and said, “Didn’t I tell you guys to go ahead? Why did you wait for me? I feel so embarrassed now that the food has gone cold.” Rosalie was not close to her and merely smiled without saying anything. Xander replied perfunctorily, “You’re the host, so it’s only right that we wait for you.” An awkward silence fell after he finished speaking. Rosalie gave Xander an awkward glance. She did not know what she should do.If i
“What’s wrong?” Xander frowned and asked when he saw the odd look on her face. Rosalie furrowed her brows and waved a hand as she looked at Stacy. She did not know if Stacy had done this on purpose or not. Why did she choose such a strong alcoholic drink when treating guests to dinner? However, she did not feel like anything was off after drinking it. Rosalie could not help but wonder if she was overthinking things.The three had nothing else to discuss after having several drinks. After all, they had only gathered because there were apologies to be made. Stacy was a self-aware person herself and stood to leave after exchanging a few words with them. Xander watched Stacy leave, then turned to the person next to him. “Are you hungry? Want to grab a bite to eat?” The two had not eaten much just now as the food had already gone cold. Rosalie felt her head spinning. She did not know what sort of drink Stacy had given her. She only had a small glass of it, but it had su
The next morning, Rosalie was having breakfast with the little guys before dropping them off at school when the doorbell rang abruptly. Rosalie and the little guys exchanged glances when they heard the doorbell. They all immediately thought of Byron and his daughter. After all, Byron had been dropping by with his daughter around this time recently. Rosalie did not think much of it as she got up to open the door. However, when she opened the door, she was greeted by the sight of her best friend standing at the door with a panicked expression. “What’s wrong?” Rosalie asked, a sinking feeling appearing in her heart. When Mary looked over Rosalie’s shoulder and saw the two little guys still having their breakfast in the dining room, she frowned slightly as she pulled Rosalie out of the house. Rosalie could tell she did not want the little guys to hear anything, thus she walked to the garden with her. “What’s wrong?” “Did you read this morning’s news?” Mary asked in a solemn
After watching Mary take the boys away, Rosalie went upstairs into the study. She switched on her phone and checked the news from that morning. The moment she looked up the news on social media, she saw a series of popular search entries within the same city—[Beautiful Doctor Suspected Of Being A High Ranking Officer Of Shady Business], [Xander Of The Lancer Family Out On A Date With A Beautiful Doctor Late At Night], [Lancer Family Young Master's Love Exposure]...Almost all of them had something to do with her relationship with Xander or were questions about the reason she was able to work together with the Lancer family.Rosalie felt her head ache just seeing those entries.She clicked into one of them casually and took a look.
