Rosalie frowned in exasperation, she did not know how to explain, so she said, “I just happened tobump into him downstairs.”
Leon looked at her doubtfully.
Rosalie’s expression softened, and her voice took on a pleading edge as well. “Look, it’s not what youthink it is, okay? I’ll never get together with him again.”
She did not want anyone else to misunderstand their relationship anymore.
Leon smiled warmly at her expression and let the matter go. “Senior Lewis is taking a break upstairs,and President Zimmer is with him. They’re waiting for you. Were you looking for them?”

Leon readily agreed and led her out of the hall, taking her upstairs.
At the same time, Byron was watching them from behind them, his heart filled with fury.
Was Martin the reason why Rosalie’s attitude toward him had changed all of a sudden?
And why were they heading upstairs now? What were they going to do?!
“President Lawrence…” His business partner called out to him cautiously.
Byron turned around, his expression stormy.
The other man shuddered, but he still gathered the courage to offer Byron the contract.
Byron glanced at it and then signed his name on it. His anger just continued to build whenever heremembered Rosalie’s silhouette.
The other man wanted to say something more, but Byron turned around coldly and strode away fromthe hall.
Rosalie followed Leon into a room.
Senior Lewis was sitting at the top, surrounded by President Zimmer and a few other men whodefinitely looked important. They chatted and laughed, but Rosalie did not know what they were talkingabout.
When Rosalie and Leon entered the room, the others stopped their chatter. President Zimmer stood upand said, “This is Dr. Jacobs, the one President Quirke recommended.”
He then introduced the others to Rosalie. “These are the representatives of the companies we’rehoping to work with this time.”
Rosalie figured as much, so she greeted them politely before apologizing. “Sorry to keep you waiting,everyone.”
Senior Lewis waved her off. “It’s fine, we were just waiting here anyway. I’m sure you must have reallyrushed to get here. I told them not to call you, but they insisted.”
The others followed his lead and assured her that they did not mind.
President Zimmer evidently got along well with Senior Lewis, so he laughed at the latter’s accusationand said, “I just wanted to tell Dr. Jacobs that you’re here as well, sir. I wasn’t trying to rush her oranything!”
Senior Lewis just chuckled without a word.
Rosalie smiled as well and took her seat at the table, as did Leon.
As they chatted away, President Zimmer brought up the deal.
Rosalie briefly explained the proposal she and Yves had come up with.
President Zimmer agreed to the proposal without hesitation. Now, it was up to the other companieswhether they wanted to follow suit.
The others were still hesitating.
Rosalie’s heart leaped into her throat.
Just as she was feeling nervous, Senior Lewis said wistfully,
“I heard about your research institute, and I’ve been meaning to help you out. I just wish I could domore for you.”
Senior Lewis looked at her apologetically. “I have some sway around these parts, but I’m still anacademic in the end. I don’t know much about business. Even if I do put in a good word for you, no onewill believe me.”
His words had a ripple effect through the room.
