Chapter 369 Don’t Let Them Know For Now As Rosalie had been busy until quite late the previous night, she managed to sleep soundly when she finally went to bed.

The following morning, Rosalie was woken up by the ringing of her phone.

Her head was still a little fuzzy after having just woken up. After fumbling around on her bedside table for a while, she finally found the source of the sound.

Rosalie looked at the caller ID, then answered her phone in a daze.

On the other end, Yves’ voice was filled with anxiety as he said, “Dr. Jacobs, we have a problem.”

Rosalie was suddenly wide awake. She shot up from her bed, and her voice was slightly hoarse as she asked, “what happened?”

“A batch of medicinal materials was supposed to arrive this morning, but it’s already way past the scheduled time and the goods are still nowhere in sight.” Yves’ face was filled with dread.

The medicinal material suppliers who partnered with their research institute were usually on time with their deliveries.

In the past, if the suppliers said that they would arrive in the morning, the institute would receive the medicinal materials by the time they started work. Today, however, they were way behind schedule.

If these medicinal materials were not delivered in time, then many projects would have to be put on hold within the next two days. Their research progress would be delayed, and the institute would suffer another loss.

Rosalie’s expression hardened. “Have you called our suppliers to ask about it?”

As she said that, she put the call on speakerphone so she could hear Yves1 reply while washing her face and brushing her teeth.

“I did, but some of them didn’t even pick up. Those who did were really vague about it and didn’t give us a definite response.” Yves felt his head hurt just thinking about it.

It would have been fine if they had simply told him that they did not want to be business partners anymore, but every one of those suppliers just acted like they did not know anything.

He did not even dare go to other suppliers to order medicinal materials now.

Rosalie felt her heart sink. She changed her clothes in a hurry and replied, “Got it. I’ll be right there.”

With that, she ended the call.

When she arrived downstairs, the twins were already sitting at the dining table.

Nox’s body had recovered, so he could go to kindergarten today.

Both boys wanted to hurry up and go to kindergarten to see Estie.

When they saw Rosalie coming down, both of them looked at her expectantly, thinking that she would send them to kindergarten.

Seeing the expectant looks on the boys’ faces, Rosalie apologetically said, “Something came up at the research institute, so I need to go over as soon as possible. I’ll ask Nanny Lisa to take you there, okay?” Although the two boys were disappointed, they were used to Mommy being busy with work.

They nodded obediently, not forgetting to show their care for Mommy as they said, “Mommy, be careful on your way to work.”

Rosalie agreed in a hurry. Before the twins could give their reply, she was already out the door.

The night before, she had planned to hand her work over to Yves during this period of time, then move abroad with her boys.

She admitted that after returning here, she had helped the institute solve quite a few problems and taught the institute’s researchers to use many advanced techniques and technologies, she could claim that she had lived up to her teacher’s expectations during this period of time.

However, she did not expect such an incident to occur right as she had made her plans!

Rosalie sped the whole way to the institute.

When she arrived, Yves was already waiting for her at the entrance.

Rosalie hurriedly walked over to him. “Do the other researchers know about this?” she asked with a frown.

Yves shook his head. “I haven’t told them yet. I didn’t want everyone to start panicking.”

Rosalie breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that. ” Don’t let them know for now. Let’s try our best to find a solution first. Give me more details about the situation.”

Yves agreed.

The two quickly made their way to Rosalie’s office as they talked.
