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 relationship.

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 you come 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?”
