Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 190

Chapter 190

Roderick shook his head, “Even I just found out. Adrian keeps

things close to his chest.”

Madeleine could sense from Roderick’s words that he was

enjoying the drama.

She couldn’t help but smile.

Sometimes, Ricki was a lot like her.

When Adrian finished his speech to thunderous applause,

Madeleine looked all around but couldn’t see Rebecca.

“Where’s Rebecca?”

“She’s just an assistant, you wouldn’t see her on stage.”

As he spoke, Roderick grabbed Madeleine’s hand and stood up.

“Come on, I’ll take you backstage to find her.”

Rebecca was indeed backstage, organizing the speeches from

the various guest speakers.

Chapter 190

Suddenly, someone tapped her on the shoulder from behind,

and she thought it was Adrian, who had just come off stage.

“Professor Shaw, you…”

Before she could finish, Rebecca’s eyes widened in horror at the

two people in front of her.

“What are you two doing here!

?”

This couple, are they haunting me or what?

Madeleine held Roderick’s arm, trying not to laugh as she

looked Rebecca’s outfit up and down.

She was dressed like a schoolgirl, with a pair of large, black-

framed glasses on her nose.

Her palm–sized face was now more than half–covered.

And her makeup was different from usual, too.

If Roderick and Madeleine hadn’t known Rebecca so well,

Madeleine would never have recognized her just now.

“Rebecca, are you getting into cosplay?”

Chapter 190

“What cosplay.”

Rebecca rolled her eyes and held up the work badge hanging

around her neck for them to see.

“I’m here to work!”

“Right, right, to work with your Professor Shaw. I get it.”

Rebecca felt a little embarrassed and was about to raise her

voice to argue when she caught a glimpse of a figure

approaching.

Worried that Madeleine and the others would say something

crazy, she quickly called out, “Professor Shaw!”

Adrian’s gaze first swept over Rebecca, then landed on

Roderick and Madeleine.

He stepped forward and nodded at Roderick.

“Mr. Livingston, I’ve heard a lot about you.”

“Professor Shaw.”

The two men shook hands politely.

“And this is Mrs. Livingston?”

Chapter 190

“Yes.”

Madeleine quickly extended her hand. “Hello, Professor Shaw. I

just listened to your presentation, it was very insightful.”

Adrian nodded, knowing Madeleine’s words were just a

courtesy. Their fingers only touched briefly in a polite gesture.

Roderick subtly moved half a step closer to Madeleine,

conveniently putting some distance between her and Adrian.

The corner of his mouth lifted slightly, his tone carrying the

usual business pleasantries: “Professor Shaw’s report was

indeed brilliant, especially the analysis of investment prospects

in the biopharmaceutical field.”

A glint appeared in Adrian’s eyes behind his glasses as he casually glanced at Rebecca, who was standing to the side

pretending to organize her files:

“You’re too kind, Mr. Livingston. I hear your company has also

been making moves in the medical Al field recently?”

The two men exchanged pleasantries, the atmosphere

seemingly harmonious but with an undercurrent of tension.

It was the aura of powerful men clashing head–on.

Chapter 190

They chatted for a bit, and when an industry report came up,

Adrian turned around.

“Rebecca, hand me the file you organized.”

Rebecca?

Madeleine’s lips uncontrollably wanted to curve into a smile.

Calling her so intimately, and they still say it’s nothing? She

didn’t believe it for a second.

With that thought, Madeleine feigned surprise and said, “Is this

Professor Shaw’s girlfriend?

Oh my, I saw the work badge earlier and thought she was a

staff member. My apologies.”

The documents in Rebecca’s hands almost fell to the floor.

Her eyes widened as she stared at Madeleine in horror.

What is she doing? Isn’t she trying to get me in trouble on

purpose?
