Not In A Good Mood
The time she got out of the cafe was way earlier than she expected.
When she got into the car, Rosalie held the steering wheel without starting the engine. Her brain was
messed up. After staying abroad for six years, she thought that she could be ignorant about whatever
had happened back then.
However, she did not expect to still be affected when Wendy mentioned it. In fact, she did not know the
existence of Wendy when she married Byron back then. If she did
Thinking of her infatuation with Byron back then, Rosalie bit her lower lip mockingly, thinking that she
might still marry him shamelessly. Yet, the happier she was to marry him, the more miserable she
became when she left him. Who would have imagined the only time they actually slept together after
getting married for so long was the time she drugged him? Plus, she had to leave in her worst condition
the next morning.
Now that she thought about it, she found the previous her to be pitiful and pathetic.
What was more ridiculous was that she still managed to become an obstacle between Byron and
Wendy.
She clearly remembered how the man said that he would marry Wendy. However, she did not know
why their marriage was still at the engagement stage after six years.
His attitude toward Wendy had changed drastically compared to before. Rosalie could not understand
what he was thinking now.
After thinking for quite some time in the car, she gradually came back to her senses and drove back to
the research institute when it was about time.
When she reached the place, it was just about time to continue work.
The moment she got out of the car, she ran into Yves who just got back from lunch.
“Dr. Jacobs, did you have a lunch appointment earlier?” Yves walked toward the experiment area
together with her with a smile.
Rosalie nodded forcefully after remembering what had happened earlier. Yves looked at her for a brief
moment and spoke hesitantly, “It seems like you‘re not in a good mood. Did something bad happen?”
Rosalie froze. She did not expect it to be so obvious. Seeing how surprised she looked, Yves knew that
he got it right. He smiled and changed to another topic considerately, “Since you‘re not in a good mood,
you should go back earlier today. Leave the project matters to me. You need to relax.” Rosalie refused
politely, “It‘s just a small matter. It won‘t affect my work.”
Hearing the words, Yves glanced at her inexplicably and spoke slowly, “Can‘t you entrust things to me
yet? During this period of time, everyone has witnessed how hard you‘ve been working on this project.
Many of them were forced to work overtime with you, and there will inevitably be complaints. Why don‘t
you give everyone a day off today and take it easy for yourself? It‘ll allow everyone to do a better job in
the future.” She had no idea how to refute it.
In fact, she had been used to the intense research work abroad and assumed that everyone would be
like her after she returned to the country.
She ignored the fact that it was their first time working with her.
The research progress had been slowing down these two days. Thinking about that, Rosalie nodded
thankfully at Yves. “Thanks for the reminder. Everyone shall go back early for today, then.”
In the afternoon, the people in the research institute all got off work on time, which usually did not
happen.
Rosalie went straight to the kindergarten to fetch the two boys home.
Due to the conversation with Wendy earlier, she did not know how to face Estie. Hence, she
immediately left without looking at her after she saw Lucian and Nox.
