Dylan sighed as he knew that he could not truly extend the launch ceremony date again.

He looked at Bright Kingston and said, "That's fine. You can leave my office. I will be there tomorrow at the hotel used for the launching ceremony."

"Alright, boss," Bright replied, and he finally exited Dylan's office.

Bright knew that all was not well with his boss, but he couldn't ask Dylan about it, so he left and went back to his own office. He remembered that Dylan hadn't even concluded on the driver yet that he had found for Dylan.

Bright stared at the man waiting for him in his office as he had other clients to meet with, and he told the man that was in a casual outfit.

"You will be contacted to resume by Monday, but first give your contact details to my secretary. I will call you over the weekend to introduce you to my boss, as he's very busy now," said Bright.

"Okay, sir," the driver replied as he was happy to be contracted for the job.

But you still have to let Jessica know about me. How is she doing now? I am sure that she's still pretending with you that she's sick so that you won't divorce her," Rosie said."No, Rosie.

    Rosie sighed in relief after she heard what Dylan said. She relaxed her back on the couch and asked him, "What time is the event?""This afternoon by 12 PM," Dylan replied, as he also relaxed on the couch, and Rosie said, "But I don't have any new clothes to attend the event with you.""Okay, come, let's go shopping. I was thinking, after the ceremony ends, you will be going home with me to my house today.""Huh!" Rosie hadn't expected that. Although she knew that Dylan wanted to take her to his house, Frederick had been behaving strangely."Yeah, come, let's go shopping for our clothes first, as it is already 10:15 AM," Dylan said, and Rosie couldn't protest.Rosie went into the room and changed her clothes.

    Dylan stood speechless in the living room as he waited for Florence to arrive after Jessica left, but Florence didn't show up. Rosie stared around the living room. In her mind, she cursed Dylan: "Look at the luxury mansion that Dylan is living in with his wife... How I wish that I was the true owner of this house." Rosie frowned, and Dylan met her gaze and said, "Oh! I don't know why it's taking Jessica so long to call the maid. Wait, let me go and call her by myself." "Okay," Rosie responded, and she sank into her thinking. Rosie knew that she had personally dumped Dylan before, and even now, she's certain that she doesn't still love him but only wants his money and probably enjoys having sex with him.

She had prayed against it, prayed against her dream not to turn into reality, but still Dylan went ahead and brought a strange woman into their mansion. Jessica knew that she had done a lot of things to please Dylan. Yet, all the things that she happily did for him before and in the present didn't matter to him anymore. He insulted her and bullied her, not knowing how it affected her brain. She pretends to him that all is fine, whereas she's broken within. Jessica shut her eyes and slept off, as she didn't want to think about Dylan again. ---- Dylan went downstairs to the guestroom to meet Rosie. He walked in and saw Rosie already lying on the bed.

Dylan replied, "Come with me." Dylan took Rosie outside of his mansion and to his garage by subtly holding her left wrist with his right hand wrapped around her left wrist, and they went outside together to the garage.
