Chapter 230
Julian said, “But I have one condition.”
Rosalie said, “Go ahead”
“Since this is purely business, you can’t use our past relationship as an excuse to avoid things, like today’s dinner…
Rosalie knew he was referring to the dinner gathering. Depending on perspective, it could be seen as either business or personal. It all depended on how the people involved viewed it.
She lowered her eyes and thought for two seconds before nodding. “Alright.”
With the agreement settled, the atmosphere between them grew heavy. The warmth from earlier disappeared, replaced by a suffocating tension.
Julian glanced at Rosalie, hesitated for a moment, then asked, “How come I never knew you were a professor at Hawthorne University?”
“Not a professor, just a lecturer.”
Julian didn’t take her words seriously. He might not understand research, but he knew that if she could solve problems that even Magnus’s team couldn’t, she would become a professor sooner or later.
“I mean, how do you know so much?”
Julian was being careful with his words, afraid that if he phrased it wrong, he’d upset her again.
But Rosalie wasn’t bothered in the slightest. The moment he asked, she understood what he was really getting at.
“You’re wondering how someone who never even attended university ended up as a lecturer at Hawthorne University?”
Julian hadn’t expected her to say it herself. He fell silent, not knowing how to respond.
