Chapter 1620 Quick To Act
After a busy day, Linda urged Rosalie to pause for lunch.
This batch of medicinal materials was a bit large.
Rosalie just wanted to eat something nearby and then resume work.
Unexpectedly, she heard a car honk as soon as she went out.
She paid no mind and continued walking. Yet, the horn kept blaring.
Rosalie realized belatedly that the person was here for her.
She turned to look and saw a car parked not far from the entrance of the institute. The car window was lowered
halfway, revealing Xander's face inside.
"Miss Jacobs." Xander smiled familiarly at her as she turned around.
Rosalie frowned slightly and stood there without approaching. "Mr. Lancer, I’m sorry, but I'm busy and can’t talk
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnow."
With that, she turned around and wanted to walk toward the restaurant.
The horn sounded again, and the car slowly followed her.
"Miss Jacobs, there's no righteousness in buying and selling. We were friends before. Won't you even give me time
to chat?’
Along with the horn, Xander's voice rang in her ears as well
People came out of the research institute and looked over.
Rosalie did not want to attract too much attention, so she stopped. "Mr.
Lancer, If you have something to say, you can say it now."
Xander's eyes turned cold upon her compromise. He leaned forward and opened the car door. "Let's chat in the
car.”
Rosalie stood still with vigilance in her eyes.
Xander pulled his lips thin. "Miss Jacobs, do you think I'm going to do something to you here in broad daylight? You
and I are both people of status. I still have to take care of the Lancer family's reputation."
With that, he opened the door a little wider and asked her to check the inside of the car.
Finally, he explained, "I just think it's too hot outside, and I can't finish what I want to say in a few words. It’s cooler
in the car."
Rosalie frowned and checked the car before getting inside but did not take the front passenger seat. She opened
the back door and got in by herself.
The air conditioner was on in the car, so she had to close the door and the windows.
"Let’s talk now," she said calmly.
Xander glanced at the incense burner under the front passenger seat. He looked regretful but had coldness in his
eyes.
"Miss Jacobs, you were quick to act. I was thinking that I could talk to you in two days and maybe we could still work
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtogether. I never expected that you to sign a contract with Lawrence Corporation and Quirke Enterprise so quickly."
There was a hint of accusation in his words.
Rosalie frowned slightly and met his gaze in the rearview mirror boldly." Mr. Lancer, you may go to the factory and
ask how much the institute has paid for this." i
The factory shut down and had to wait for the medicine's production. As a result, the research institute needed to
compensate a large number of lost wages.
For the past two days, Byron had offered to produce the medicine for free in Lawrence Corporation's factory, but
Rosalie refused.
She had already received too much help from Byron, and she could not rely on him for everything.
A subtle look of displeasure flashed across Xander's eyes. "Why do you say that, Miss Jacobs? It'll be a matter of
time before the research institute pays the price. To be honest, I still don't agree with your pricing for the
medicines."
Rosalie was no longer bothered by his disagreement at this point. "Whether you agree or not has nothing to do with
me. My partner isn’t Lancer Corporation. If you insist on your pricing, you can develop a new drug and sell it
yourself."
