Will Take Care of Myself
Rosalie was injured, so it was inconvenient for her to move around. After returning from the hotel, she
had been recuperating at home. Most of the matters in the research institute were dealt with by Dr.
Graham over the phone.
This morning, Xander Lancer’s call came in.
Seeing the caller ID, Rosalie’s eyes turned slightly bright. She could probably guess the purpose of
Xander’s call.
After all, after the free clinic, the only contact between the two of them was about the cooperation of the
research institute.
Before that, the Lancer family’s research institute was still in the preparatory stage. Hence, their
cooperation had not been on the right track.
This call was very likely to discuss the specific matters of cooperation with her!
Thinking of this, Rosalie stumbled into the study regardless of her foot injury.
“Miss Jacobs, I’m not disturbing your rest, am I?” Xander’s smiling voice came through as soon as the
line was connected.
Rosalie smiled, “of course not! Young Master Xander, you’re calling so early. I wonder if there’s
something important?”
On the other end, Xander upped the suspense. “What do you think, Miss Jacobs?”
Rosalie did not beat about the bush and asked directly, “Is there any progress in the cooperation?”
Xander smiled coolly but was still joking with her. ” Isn’t it possible that I just want to chat with you, Miss
Jacobs?”
Rosalie laughed. “Then come what may.”
After all, seriously speaking, she and Xander had only met twice, and it was because of official
business.
Rosalie did not think that she was attractive enough to make Young Master Xander fall for her.
She also knew that what Xander said was just a joke.
Sure enough, hearing her answer, Xander also gave a heavy laugh and turned the topic on the right
track ” Miss Jacobs, you aren’t wrong. The preparation for the research institute on the Lancer family’s
side is done. It’s already in the process of preparation for development matters.”
Hearing this, Rosalie’s eyes were full of anticipation. ” Then our cooperation can officially start too.”
Xander agreed noncommittally. “Yes, but before that, we need to talk about some specific details. I
wonder when will you be free? shall we meet?”
Rosalie was focused on the research institute and answered directly, “I’m free anytime. Young Master
Xander, you can decide on a suitable time.”
After speaking, she added, “If possible, I hope the sooner the better.”
Xander raised his eyebrows and smiled. “I feel the same. How about this afternoon? I’ll send you the
location later.”
Rosalie agreed immediately.
The two chatted about the cooperation for a while, and it was almost noon when they hung up the
phone. Rosalie came out of the study and met Lisa who was looking for her everywhere.
“Miss Jacobs, your foot is still hurting. How did you go in? Why didn’t you call me?” Lisa fussed about it
and helped her sit down at the dining table.
Rosalie had always regarded Lisa as her elder, and when she heard Lisa’s words, she just smiled. “My
injury has gotten better. Don’t worry, and I have to go out in the afternoon.”
Rosalie felt a little guilty as she said that.
Then, she saw that Lisa was worried. “Why are you going out? Didn’t you tell the person you’re
meeting that your foot is hurt? What can’t you talk about at home?”
Rosalie knew that Lisa was worried about her, and smiled to reassure her. “This is very important work.
I must go out for a while. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of myself.”
Lisa was still worried. “Let me accompany you.” Rosalie quickly agreed.
