Chapter 170

Let Me Treat You To A Meal

Old Master Quirke’s treatment had come to an end. All that remained was to prescribe him medicine
that he was to take regularly and inform him to take it on time.

Rosalie also no longer needed to make her way to the Quirke household every now and then. She had
plenty of free time. She practically spent all of her days in the research institute, either dealing with
trivial matters or participating in research and development with the researchers in the experimental
area.

As her former assistant abroad, Yves now naturally gave her a hand. Their cooperation was tacit.

It had not been easy to make a breakthrough in their research and development today. Hence, the two
of them exited the experimental area early.

Yves suggested, “After being so busy for so many days, why don‘t we have a meal to celebrate?

Hearing this, Rosalie glanced at the time and refused apologetically. “Why not another day? I have to
pick up the children later.” Hearing the reason, it would not be nice for Yves to force Rosalie either.
They left the research institute one after another. The moment Rosalie got into the car, her mobile
phone rang again. It was a call from Leon. “Leon, what‘s up?”

From the other end, Leon‘s gentle voice sounded, “Are you free later? We haven‘t had a chance to
meet up even though we‘ve returned to the country for so long. I was wondering if I have the honor to
invite Dr. Jacobs to dinner today?”

Rosalie just wanted to answer that she had to pick up the children when Leon‘s voice sounded again.
“I‘ve already booked the restaurant, so I‘ll wait for you to come.”



Hearing this, Rosalie swallowed her refusal. She was indeed in a hurry to pick up the children but Leon
had already said that. If she were to refuse, it would feel a little impersonal. Moreover, when she first
went abroad, Leon had given her a lot of help. She should not leave him alone regardless of reason or
emotion.

“Alright, where are you? I‘ll head over right away.” In the end, she still agreed. Leon seemed to have
guessed that she would not refuse and relayed to her the name and location of the restaurant. Rosalie
responded.

After hanging up the call, she called Mrs. Zora to trouble her to pick the children up from the
kindergarten. She, on the other hand, redirected her route toward the restaurant Leon had decided on.

Leon had been waiting in his seat for a while when she arrived, Seeing Rosalie enter, Leon waved to
her. Rosalie quickly walked over and took the seat opposite him. She apologized, “I‘m sorry to have
kept you waiting.” Leon smiled, not minding it. “It‘s fine. But did I disturb your work just now?”

When they were abroad, Rosalie often forgot about time because of work and would even work through
the night

Rosalie shook her head with a smile. “No, it just so happens that I got off work early today.”

With that, she waved to the waiter and said to Leon, “Since I was late today, let this meal be on me.
Besides, I came back earlier than you. Consider this meal your reception.”

Leon agreed noncommittally. “Then, pardon me.” The two ordered some food and then talked about
their respective jobs. They were engrossed in their conversation.

At the same time, at the front of the restaurant, the manager was personally escorting a group of
people in Byron was surrounded by a crowd and would only occasionally listen to the people around



him.

The moment he turned sideways, he saw a familiar figure by the window. Seeing the two individuals
talking happily in their seats, Byron‘s expression suddenly cooled.

“President Lawrence?” Seeing that he had suddenly stopped, the people in the group urged him with
confusion. Byron frowned deeply. He slowly withdrew his gaze from the two and walked into the private
room with the other
