Chapter 1452 First to Venture
The venue Xander chose was a teahouse with a vintage atmosphere. It was a style the Lancer family liked most.
When Rosalie arrived, Xander was already waiting for her inside. Upon seeing her, he beckoned her to approach
him.
Rosalie stepped into the place and sat down opposite him.
This time, they sat in the corner, and there was a sandalwood-scented decoration by the table.
Perhaps accustomed to the smell of traditional herbs, Rosalie felt strangely comfortable with the scent assailing her
nostrils.
She did not think much of it and took it as part of the vintage decorations in this teahouse.
"I'm sorry that I'm late again."
After taking her seat, Rosalie apologized to Xander embarrassedly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe meeting was meant to apologize for the delay due to her absence, but unexpectedly, she was late.
That was inappropriate.
Xander smiled and did not seem to mind. He poured her a cup of tea and said, "It's alright. This teahouse is quite
far from your research institute, and I happened to be nearby."
While Xander spoke, he seemed to touch the scented decoration unintentionally.
Rosalie looked at his expression and was relieved he was okay with it.
"I should be the one apologizing to you instead," Xander blurted out.
Rosalie was confused to hear him say that.
She had no idea why Xander mentioned he should apologize to her.
"Speaking of which, I was the cause of the rumors."
Xander looked at Rosalie apologetically. "If I hadn't changed the time and met you at night, the reporters wouldn't
have taken photos of us, and the netizens wouldn’t have spread rumors like that.”
Rosalie felt a complicated feeling rising deep down when she heard him mentioning the rumors from before.
Speaking of which, this matter did happen because Xander changed their lunch meeting to dinner.
Seemingly seeing through her thoughts, Xander explained sincerely, "I really had something on that noon. Lancer
Corporation's branch company for medical herbs was facing a problem, and they needed me to go there urgently
to settle it."
Rosalie did not blame him for it, but she still felt everything that night was too much of a coincidence.
However, since Xander had explained in detail, she quickly said, "I know it's not your fault. We didn't know reporters
were secretly following US.
Besides, everything has been settled."
Then, Xander suddenly said something out of nowhere, "So, you got back together with President Lawrence."
That caught Rosalie off guard, and she did not know how to answer him.
It was not easy to explain what happened between her and Byron...
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmXander's gaze turned gloomy when he noticed that Rosalie did not deny it.
When Rosalie looked at him, he hid his emotion and asked with concern," So, you must've been with him during this
time."
Rosalie did not deny it this time and simply explained, "It's because we needed to get away from the media and
reporters for some time."
She said nothing about where they were and what they did.
That made Xander feel more displeased. Deciding not to make himself more unhappy, he diverted the topic to
work.
"During your absence, I did some homework on developing the new medicine, and I think we may change the
direction. Recently, there has
been a shortage of anti-cancer medication in the market, especially those dominated by traditional medicine."
Rosalie's expression was serious again, and she focused on work. "I've noticed this before, but I think it’s a little
difficult. After all, people still rely on drugs to fight cancer."
Xander explained to Rosalie briefly the research he did and concluded it." Why can't we be the first to venture into
this part of the field?"
