Don’t Involve Yourself
Seeing him nod, Rosalie’s eyes were filled with confusion.
“It’s almost time for breakfast. If you don’t mind, let’s go together.” Byron looked at them calmly.
Hearing this, Rosalie’s and Leon’s expressions changed. They could not understand what he meant.
After a while, Rosalie came back to her senses and forced a reluctant smile. “President Lawrence must
be busy with work. I need quite some time to clean up, so I’ll delay you. I’ll eat by myself in a moment.”
Byron replied, “It doesn’t matter. I happen to have no work arrangements today and can wait.”
Rosalie felt like a headache was coming on again. She smiled and said, “I’m afraid you might not be
used to the things I eat.” Byron still did not care. “Miss Jacobs, you can rest assured. I’m not picky
when it comes to food.”
Rosalie, “…” Rosalie did not believe that he could not understand her obvious rejection, not when he
had the business world in the palm of his hand! He was clearly doing this on purpose! Yet she could not
figure out just what the man was thinking!
The more she thought about it, the more her head hurt. Rosalie decided to steel herself and pull Leon
in as a shield. “I have something to discuss with Senior Leon over our meals in a while. I’m afraid it’ll be
inconvenient for you to be present.” with that, she cast a look of help to Leon.
Leon replied with a gentle smile before turning to Byron to say, “Rosalie is right. We do indeed have
something to discuss. President Lawrence, it may not be the best idea to have you join us.”
Seeing both of them singing the same tune, Byron was unhappy deep down, but his expression was
still light. “Is that so? Then I’ll keep away when you two are having your discussion.”
Rosalie did not expect this man to be so cheeky. She was thinking of another excuse when he heard
the man bring up what had happened yesterday leisurely. “Miss Jacobs, I doubt you’ve forgotten about
having invited me to have coffee last night yet I was the one who paid for it in the end. Naturally, that
cup of coffee is now invalid. Plus I sent you back yesterday. Is it too much for me to exchange those
with breakfast?” Byron looked at the woman in front of him with a deep gaze. Hearing this, Rosalie
finally compromised. “Wait a minute. I’ll change my clothes.” She just hoped that Byron would call it
even as he said after this breakfast.
Rosalie closed the door and went in. The two people at the door wore different expressions.
Leon still had a warm smile on his face.
There was no expression on Byron’s face, but he was looking at the man from his periphery.
Thinking about his and Rosalie’s close relationship, he felt displeasure deep down.
After Rosalie was done, the three of them went down together for breakfast.
Rosalie and Leon unanimously stayed silent because of Byron’s presence.
The atmosphere was stifling.
Byron asked about their next arrangement as if nothing was going on. “Do you two happen to have
plans after breakfast?”
Rosalie’s utensils stopped in the air for a moment as she looked up at the man opposite her. ” Why do
you care about our plans so much, President Lawrence? Don’t you have your own schedule?”
Hearing this, Byron answered noncommittally, “It’s not often I meet up with friends. Can’t we go
shopping together?”
Alter he said that, he glanced at Leon beside him lightly before saying to Rosalie pointedly,” Or could it
be that you’re frustrated with me for disturbing both your time together?”
There was a faint shift in Rosalie’s expression. “Don’t involve yourself with our matters!”
Byron’s lower lip tugged vaguely, but he did not answer. Rosalie withdrew her gaze, her emotions
complicated. She did not understand what he meant by that.
