Chapter 1534 Can't Wait Any Longer
"What's the matter? I don't think you had even a drop of wine?"
Xander looked at her with a concerned attitude.
"Are you feeling unwell? What's going on? Do you want me to take your pulse?"
Then, he reached out to grab Rosalie's wrist.
Rosalie pursed her lips and smiled.
"I’m good.I just didn't sleep well last night, now I’m little sleepy.Go ahead and enjoy yourselves, I'll stepout for some air."
Avoiding Xander's touch, she backed away calmly, nodded, then left.
Once again, Xander was displeased as he watched her walked away.
‘The reason Rosalie didn’t sleep well last night.That hickey explains everything! ‘I can't wait any longer!’Rosalie came out of the banquet hall and into the tearoom.She had a cup of tea to feel better.
Recently, Xander's attitude made her uncomfortable.
Coincidentally, Byron sent a text to show concern.
[Hey, how are you feeling? If you can't take it, go back and rest.Don't rush the research."] Rosalie'sheart warmed slightly from the man's concerns.
When she replied, there was a hint of a complaint in her text, largely due to her annoyance withXander's behavior.
[Ah, so you knew that I am very tired today...but fortunately, the drug development was successful,we’re out celebrating now.] Byron frowned slightly when he read the text.
[Xander’s there, too?] Rosalie was even more upset at the mention of Xander.
[He was the one who proposed to celebrate.The research staff were so excited, I couldn’t refuse.] Shealmost blurted her dissatisfaction with Xander.
Byron's attention was elsewhere.
[Did you drink?] Rosalie had a sullen face.
[The rest are drinking.I'm not in the mood.] As soon as the message was sent, Byron's phone call camein.novelbin
Rosalie picked it up.
"What's the matter? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to pick you up?"
Byron’s voice was deeply concern.
Rosalie sighed lightly.
''I was a little uncomfortable in the morning, but I'm almost better now."
Hearing this, Byron frowned in puzzlement.
"What happened? Was it my mother? What did she say to you again?" Rosalie quickly explained.
"No, it's because of Xander..."
Speaking of this matter, Rosalie could not help but feel bad about herself.
‘I am the person in charge of the research institute, but now I let an outsider get so close to my team ofemployees.I seem to have lost my prestige"
All this felt like an embarrassment if she said it aloud.
When Byron’s learned from the little woman that Xander had affected her mood, he became slightlyupset.
"What did that Lancer guy do again? Ignore him.I can tell that he cares about you, but I’m not surewhether his intentions are pure or not."
Rosalie still felt discouraged, and hesitantly asked Byron, "Am I not very good at management? Itseems that after Yves is gone, the research institute is in a mess."
She reflected on herself while sipping tea just now.
‘I already joined the team late in the first place.Then, I was more focused on my own research anddidn't bother with interpersonal relationships"
Previously, Yves was the one who helped maintain her relationship with the employees.
After he was arrested, she was obviously alienated from the employees.
This was also the reason why Xander was able to win them over so easily.
Hearing what she said, Byron's face turned serious.
"Why do you say that?"
The words were hard for Rosalie to say, but Byron was the listener, so she confided in him.
"During this time, I kept feeling that the employees were closer to Xander than me, as if Xander is theirperson in charge..."
