I Appreciate Your Kindness
Rosalie and Leon attended the dinner held by the organizer as promised the evening of the same day.
The venue was a high-end restaurant called Deep Sea near the hotel where the conference was held
that afternoon.
The organizer had reserved a private room in advance. When both of them entered, the waiter led
them upstairs into a private room in the corner.
The style of each private room in this restaurant was different. The organizers might have specially
arranged an antique-style private room with a strong academic atmosphere for them after considering
they were all academics.
The moment they entered, they saw a round, mahogany table with a red plum plant in the middle.
Beside the table were chairs made out of the same mahogany wood, and there were many calligraphy
works and paintings hanging about.
Just one look and it was like they had entered someone’s study.
There were already many guests sitting inside when they arrived. Seeing them come in, everyone’s
gazes fell onto them. They were full of appreciation and admiration.
The two of them were the youngest at the conference, and Rosalie was also a woman, but their
performance at the conference had brightened the gazes of the older generations.
Rosalie smiled apologetically at the crowd, “My apologies. We weren’t familiar with the road and have
kept you all waiting for a long time.” After the conference in the afternoon ended, she and Leon
casually strolled around North City without being accompanied by the organizer. Unexpectedly, they
accidentally lost their way when they were coming back. It took them a lot of effort to find the hotel.
“It’s nothing. Not everyone has arrived yet either. Please sit down!”
Senior Lewis was seated in the head seat. He got up as he said this and waved to the two of them,
motioning for them to sit beside him.
Seeing this, Rosalie felt even more flattered.
Senior Lewis was famous internationally. Even her teacher, Quentin, spoke of Senior Lewis with great
respect. Rosalie did not think that she would gain Senior Lewis’ favor. Seeing the crowd, they all looked
envious.
“It’s fine We can just sit by the door, The server will be around with our orders later. It isn’t convenient
for the elders to sit here.”
Saying that, she then took a seat by the door with Leon Senior Lewis frowned but did not really force
them, “You two are very sensible.”
Rosalie smiled but said nothing
After a moment more, everyone arrived,
“Miss Jacobs is not only young but also a woman. You’re outstanding to have such high attainments!”
Seeing Senior Lewis’ recognition of Rosalie, along with having witnessed her accomplishments earlier,
everyone offered her praise one after another. Rosalie modestly replied, “I just happened to have
studied the question that Senior Lewis raised, so I have some experience with it.”
Senior Lewis even offered an invitation on the spot. “I wonder if you have any intention of working
here? You need but make a request. I certainly have no objections!”
Hearing this, everyone present was surprised. Even Leon was a little surprised. Senior Lewis’ words
implied that he wanted to take Rosalie in as his student.
Everyone present knew that Senior Lewis had not accepted any students for many years and had
single-mindedly delved into his profession.
His invitation at present really shocked them. Rosalie was stunned for quite a while before she
responded. Seeing everyone’s prompting gazes, she knew it was an honor.
However…
“Senior Lewis, I appreciate your kindness, but I’m now helping my teacher with some matters. I’m
afraid I’ll be too busy, so I’d rather not trouble you, Senior Lewis,” Rosalie apologized to Senior Lewis.
Hearing her actually refuse him, there was an uproar at the table. Senior Lewis was slightly regretful.
“In that case, I won’t force it. If you have any regrets, you can come to me anytime.” Rosalie smiled
gratefully. “Thank you, Senior Lewis, for your recognition.”
