Chapter 161 Highly Displeased
Rosalie smiled apologetically.
“My apologies, I‘m not really in the mood.” Her refusal was quite indirect, and the gentleman was a littleregretful, but he did not force it. He turned around and left.
It was finally quiet again.
Rosalie was about to sort out her thoughts when suddenly she heard a familiar male voice.
“Rosalie? Is that you?”
Hearing this, Rosalie looked up in the direction of the voice. Just a few steps away was a man dressedin an iron–gray tuxedo. The handsome gentleman was looking at her in surprise.
When their eyes met, Rosalie‘s eyes lit up. There was also some surprise in them. “Leon? Could therebe such a coincidence?”
Leon was a senior student she met abroad and was also of the outstanding individuals of the youngergeneration in the world.
This senior had helped Rosalie a lot when she was abroad in many aspects. Their relationship wasalso very good.
Rosalie had not had the opportunity to contact him after returning home because she had been busywith the research institute.
Seeing that he had not mistaken her, Leon smiled wider. He walked quickly toward Rosalie. “I haven‘tseen you for quite some time.”
Rosalie nodded with a smile. “We indeed haven‘t seen each other in a while. When did you comeback? Why didn‘t you contact me?”
Leon gave her a once–over and said in a warm voice, “I‘ve been back for half a month. I wanted tocontact you, but I was afraid i‘d be disturbing you. You look a little thinner since I last saw you. Are youbusy with work in the country?” Rosalie smiled noncommittally. “Just a little.” Although work with theinstitute had kept her busy, it was a small thing compared to the intensity of her work abroad. Whatreally thinned her down was… Come to think of it, the three children at home.
There was no need for her to share this private matter with Leon, however.
Leon looked at her with deep concern. “I know you‘re a workaholic, but no matter how busy you are,you should also pay attention to your health. Don‘t wear yourself out.”
Rosalie nodded obediently.
“By the way, why are you here? Did you cooperate with the Qu?rkes the moment you returned home?”Leon asked with a smile.
Hearing what he said, Rosalie froze for a moment. She thought of the statuses of the guests attendingtoday‘s birthday banquet and suddenly smiled as she shook her head. “I just came back. How can I bethat capable? It‘s just a coincidence that I was invited to come here after I cured Old Master Quirke‘scondition. Though I suppose it‘s also right to say that there is a cooperation. The Quirkes are now alsothe medicinal materials supplier of our research institute.”
Hearing this, Leon‘s eyes were full of surprise. “I‘ve heard that Old Master Quirke‘s condition wassevere and that many famous doctors were powerless. I then recently heard that the old master hadrecovered. I even wondered which doctor it was who was so powerful. I thought of befriending them. Ididn‘t expect it to be you!”novelbin
Rosalie pursed her lips and smiled. “It‘s also a coincidence. It just so happened to be an area I excelin.”
Leon frowned slightly. “Don‘t be modest. I don‘t know about the others, but I’m very aware of yourstandards. Besides, since you‘ve cured the old master‘s disease, I‘m even more convinced of yourability.” “You flatter me.” Rosalie laughed. From the old master’s illness to their respective medicalfields, the two talked happily for a time.
Not far away, Byron saw the man who came and went and the one she was now chatting happily with.His eyes darkened, potent displeasure exuding from his body. The people around him felt waves ofchill.
Andrius naturally noticed the movement over there and had guessed where Byron‘s displeasure wascoming from. At that moment, he said, “Byron, do you want to go and have a look?”
