Chapter 19 “Are you okay? Slow down a bit. No one's rushing you.”
Mark poured water for Astrid.
"I-I'm fine!"
Astrid took a big sip of water and regained her composure.
"I didn't know you like red wine, Miss Graves," Blaze remarked
"I don't.”
‘What the hell was that about, Blaze? Shut up! Astrid cursed in her heart
"Mark, you mentioned Miss Graves sacrificed a lot. What do you mean? I hate to owe Miss Graves anything.” "Do you know Foster Biomedical Group, Blaze?"
"Everyone knows about the company. It's famous for developing the Foster I .”
The development of that drug caused quite a sensation in the academic world, but no one knew about the research team behind it. "Gideon took the Foster I .”
Blaze's face changed, and he turned to Astrid.
“Astrid and her teacher are the leading researchers of the project. There are other staff members, of course. But the other two hundred people are all working for Astrid
"They developed the medicine three years ago but put it on hold because of Astrid's leg injury." Astrid raised her eyebrows. “Blaze, you owe Astrid a big one. She has gone through a lot of trouble developing and producing the drug. Gideon is a lucky guy."
Blaze didn't expect Astrid to be so generous. He remembered how confident she was when she negotiated terms with him that day. If Mark told the truth. he owed her a big favor indeed.
"Is the drug available now?"
Blaze was smart. He always knew what to ask
“It has passed clinical trials and can be massively produced,” Mark answered
Astrid pouted
Hmph! Blaze is still underestimating me!’ She thought.
"Here's to you, Miss Graves.”
Blaze raised his wine glass as a signal, knowing Astrid didn’t drink.
"I don't drink alcohol. I only drink water."
Astrid didn't care what Blaze thought of her. She just took a sip of water in a perfunctory way. Blaze took a sip of his wine but didn't speak.
"Come on, Astrid. Try the caviar cakes here. These are from a three-star Michelin chef, and this is the only place you can enjoy them in Cheston City. People will kill to have them. I asked the chef to bring them to you tonight.”
It was high-quality caviar, indeed. In the past, only royal families could have it. A tiny piece here was worth over 100 thousand dollars Astrid glanced at the caviar cakes on the table. They must be warth one million dollars.
"Thank you, Mark."
Astrid felt great that Mark ripped a good one off Blaze tonightExclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
What Eddy did last time made Astrid decide to do a little investigation. As a result, she found out that Blaze owned the Greenstone Club. "You don't seem to enjoy yourself tonight as you didn't drink, Miss Graves. I'll send you several boxes of Lafite wine as a thank-you gift,’ Blaze spoke. What the fuck!
Blaze, you are doing this on purpose, Astrid thought.
"Blaze is right. You deserve that gift. Astrid. Don’t refuse the man,’ Mark also said
Astrid was speechless.
As they were talking, Mark's cell phone rang.
“Excuse me. I'll be right back."
Mark stood up and went out.
Astrid put down her fork and wiped her mouth.
"Mr. Cohen, you must have known why I added that term.”
"Gabe Moore is your teacher and the actual boss of the Foster Biomedical Group.”
Others might hot know about the owner of Faster Biomedical Group,
but Blazeknew it. He had a businesses i in biotechnology, ands FosterBiomedical Group was a” leading company in the industry. tt was natural he knew about tt.
"Yes,' Astrid said. Blaze was sharp. Mark only revealed a little, but he got the critical information already. Astrid didnt bother to hide anything. It would be pointless in front of Blaze.
"No wonder,” Blaze said.
There was-arumor that Gabe had taken in anew member, but no one went through the trouble to confirm it. Blaze thought it wasn't trues However, it was true, and that person was Astrid. t& <
What a surprise.
"So?" Astrid asked.
"Things went as you wished for, ~ Astrid. However, you used to be ar member of the Cohen family. lon wont do you any good if youdo sothething to hurt the Cohen family."
Blaze would find out Astrid's identity sooner or later.
"I'm sorry, I have to go. There's an emergency. Blaze, please entertain Astrid for me.”
After answering the phone, Mark rushed in, said the above-mentioned words, and left immediately. "I'll bear your words in mind, Mr. Cohen.”
Astrid didnt want to stay either since Mark had left.
She couldn't bring herself to drink and eat with Blaze.
“ll let my driver drive you back,’ Blaze said
"No. I drove here myself.”
“Let's leave together, then. I don't want Mark to think I did a bad job entertaining you." Blaze insisted
Astrid left the room first, and Blaze followed her. As soon as they reached the corner, they bumped into Lilith and her friends "Move."
Seeing a stranger was about to catch up, Lilith grabbed Astrid and pushed hard
Before Astrid could react. she felt a knife being placed on her neck.
