Chapter 161


    Chapter 161 Roxanne smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry, but I’m not in the mood for that


    recently.”Although she rejected him pleasantly, the rich gentleman was slightly disappointed. However,


    he turned around and left without forcing his way through.Finally, she had once again gotten the peace


    and quiet she longed for.Just as she was about to gather her emotions, she suddenly heard a familiar


    voice calling out to her. “Roxanne? Is that you?”Hearing that, Roxanne raised her gaze in the direction


    of the voice. She then saw a charming man in a grey tuxedo staring at her in bewilderment.As soon as


    their eyes met, Roxanne’s eyes lit up. In a surprised tone, she uttered, “Larry? What a


    coincidence!”Larry Morrison was a senior she met abroad. Internationally speaking, he was one of the


    elites of the younger generation.Back then, Larry had helped Roxanne a lot when she had just gone


    abroad. Therefore, they shared a pretty good rtionship.When she returned to the country, she was


    too busy with matters concerning the research institute, so she never had a chance to reach out to


    him.Upon seeing that he had not mistaken someone else for her, Larry put on a bright smile and went


    up to Roxanne. “It’s been a long time.”Roxanne smiled and nodded. “Indeed. When did youe back


    to the country? Why didn’t you contact me?”Larry sized her up and said, “I’ve been back for a fortnight


    now. I did think of reaching out to you, but I was afraid that I might disturb you. After not seeing you for


    so long, you seem to have lost weight. Have you been busy with work in Chanaea?”Roxanne simply


    smiled and answered, “You can say so.”Although she was busy with the research institute, her


    workload was nothingpared to when she was abroad. I’m sure I’ve lost weight because of those


    three little ones at home. Sull, I shouldn’t reveal my personal matters to Larry.Larry looked at her


    worriedly and said, “I know you’re a workaholic, but you ought to look after yourself. Don’t tire yourself


    out.” Roxanne merely nodded in response.“By the way, why are you here? Are you already working


    with Queen Group despite only returning to the country recently?” Larry asked with a smile.Roxanne


    was stunned for a moment upon hearing that. When she remembered who those guests at the banquet


    were, she smiled and shook her head. “I’ve only returned to the country recently, so how could I’ve


    done that? I was invited because I just happened to have cured Old Mr. Queen’s illness. However, I


    guess it’s also right to say that I’m working with the Queen family. They’re our research institute’s


    medicine supplier.”Larry was astonished. “I’ve heard about how bad Old Mr. Queen’s condition was,


    and a lot of renowned doctors had failed to cure him. When I heard he was cured, I wondered who the


    amazing doctor was! Who would’ve thought it was you?”Roxanne pressed her lips into a smile. “I was


    just lucky. It just happens to fall into my area of specialty.”Larry arched a brow and said, “Stop being so


    humble, will you? I don’t know about the others, but I know your capabilities like the back of my hand.


    However, knowing that you’re the one who cured Old Mr. Queen, I’m still very impressed.”“You tter


    me too much, Larry.” Roxanneughed.,The two of them chatted happily about Alfred’s illness and


    each other’s medical fields.Nearby, Lucian saw a man approach Roxanne and left just moments earlier.


    His gaze darkened when he saw her talking happily with another man. He was so displeased that


    everyone nearby could feel the icy aura he was exuding.Naturally, Jonathan noticed what was going


    on, and he could tell why Lucian was displeased. “Lucian, would you like to go over there and see


    what’s going on?” he asked.C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.
