Soon, the trash can by her feet was full of red petals and flower stems, almost overflowing. Done venting, Rose put the rest of the flowers into a large vase on her desk after a glance.Breathlessly slumping on her desk, Rose sighed as her fingertips drew circles. "I don't want to quit. I don't want to go to Star International. I don't want to go at all."Kevin was so overbearing, arrogant, and unreasonable. Why did she have to resign? Why did she have to choose between him and her job? There was no conflict between the two!She felt upset!Just as she was feeling irritated and unmotivated to work, her cell phone suddenly vibrated. Rose opened it and saw a message from Kevin. "Do you like it?"Knowing that he was talking about the flowers, Rose grunted. Quickly, she pulled out the trash can, took a picture, and sent it to him.On the other end, Kevin was in the middle of a meeting. Looking at his phone, he could imagine her arrogant and angry face. At that, he couldn't help but chuck
Because of this, Kevin had been sending all kinds of pleasing messages to Rose that day. However, all he got in return was the cold shoulder.That night, Kevin deliberately returned home early. However, when Rose saw him, she didn't smile at him. Instead, she went to the bedroom after polishing the glass.Kevin knew that he had upset her this time, therefore he followed her shamelessly. In a rare moment of humility, he asked, "What would you like to eat tonight? ""I don't want to eat anything!" Rose had no appetite to eat!As Rose looked at Kevin, she felt that she hated him to the core. She had the urge to slice him to pieces! Turning around, she was still upset. However, Kevin stopped her with a smile and hugged her from behind. "What's wrong? It's been a day and you're still angry?" Looking back abruptly, Rose got, even more, fired up.It was easy for him to say that! Was one day not long enough? Had she been too nice? He didn't even listen to her opinion on such a big issue; he
"I told you to come and you didn't! Miss Reed is here in East Bannpool. She just arrived at the door. I wonder if she's meeting a friend or if she's coming over for something. Well, she's alone now...""I've taken the contract and I have to go to the airport! I don't have time to keep an eye on her for you. It looks like she just got here."****"Come on over! I'm leaving."After reporting, Tom even paused for a few minutes to make sure that the woman was indeed Rose before hanging up the phone.Just as the car left, Kevin came back with Rose's cell phone. He then hugged her and they walked toward the private room.****Just as Kevin pushed open one of the doors to East Bannpool, the noisy conversation in the room rattled to a halt. Several people stood up. "Kevin, we've been waiting for you!""Yes, Scarlett heard that you were coming and even skipped her dinner reception. Kevin, you're too influential!"The one who spoke was Scott Jerald of the Jerald family, who was a few years you
Raising his glass, Scott complained. "Why are you always talking about cooperation and investments? We're here to celebrate; we should eat, drink and be merry! Yet, you guys are constantly talking about hundreds of millions of dollars, ignoring our feelings!""Well, why don't you fund hundreds of millions of dollars to Alex as well?" After the banter, Aden suggested, "Let's not just sit around. Why don't we play a game?""I'd love to! But, I don't have the transportation or the money right now. Once I get rich, each of you should leave me some shares. Let me have some fun too!"After responding, Scott suggested, "Hey, let's play Truth or Dare. I'm dying to know about Alex's first time."As soon as he said that, a pillow was thrown over at him."Do you think I'm afraid of you? I'd rather know how much you spent on the sneakers your dad restricted you from buying and where you hid them! I'll tell Uncle Jerald everything tomorrow.""Alex, I don't even know your secret yet, and you're a
As everyone's eyes coalesced at one point, the music played slowly and James's emotional voice followed thereafter. "My need for you, (is) my life, your love, I am unable to forget. No matter how hard I try, all day and night, your image, I cannot wipe away (from my mind). ""Never at any time in my dreams, did it ever occur to me, (that) I would have to continue living without you...""Dearest, if I receive a sign from you, (then) I would return, breaking all promises..."****Like in a movie, their once-found memories, with his three years of repression, skimmed through James's mind. At this moment, his eyes were moist, and even his voice was full of emotions with a touch of huskiness. During the three years he and Rose were apart, he felt just like this song. For countless days and nights, he drowned his sorrows with wine and had nightmares. The thoughts of her constantly tormented him. He even dreamed of being with her. As he pined for her, he was bound by sadness and it blocked
On the other hand, Rose, who had been holding a cocktail the whole time, was lost in her thoughts. James and her sweet and painful past were like the high and low strings of a lute, inadvertently tugging at her heart.Rushing forward, Kevin snatched the glass out of her hand. "Don't be greedy. You'll get drunk!"Coming back to her senses, Rose's field of vision was full of him. "Hubby, what are you doing out here? Are you done talking? Did I slip away for too long?"Giggling, Rose subconsciously tried to look at her phone to check the time.Stroking her hair lovingly, Kevin consciously blocked her view. He said softly, "It's getting late. It's time for us to go home!"Instead of staying here and worrying, they should go home and do something more meaningful. "Okay!"To be honest, he filled Rose's entire thoughts as soon as he came over. Meanwhile, the scene on the stage had long since faded out of sight, getting out of mind. Organizing her bag, Rose was just about to get down from th
In the car, the two embraced intimately. Sparks flew as they kissed.If it weren't for the inappropriate location, Kevin would have wanted to engulf her right away.No matter how passionate he was, he tried to suppress it. He didn't have a fetish for putting on a free show for others out in the open. Hence, no matter how much he couldn't help it, they only kissed. Even the movements of his hands were restrained. After all, paparazzi were everywhere. They often appear at times like this!Kevin was particularly selfish when it came to Rose. He didn't want anyone to see her, not even through a blurry or suspicious video! Kevin then cupped her face and pulled the seat belt over after giving her a peck on the corner of her lips.In a seductive low voice, he said, "Sit tight. We'll continue at home!" "Hubby..." Hooking her arms around his neck, Rose's eyelashes fluttered as she rubbed Kevin's neck lightly in a petulant manner."What's the matter?"Seeing her hesitation, Kevin said with br
Still, why did the thought of this word give him a sweet feeling?Kevin found out that he was surprisingly not repulsed by the idea.Did he fall in love with a woman so easily? It was unbelievable! What did he love about her then?Pretty? Proud? Capricious? Lovely? Rude?As the voices of doubt and certainty collided in his head, his eyes froze as he looked at her who was still in a mood, tugging at the hangers in the bedroom.Clutching a change of clothes and pajamas, Rose then turned to the bathroom.Her steps were wide and hurried, not at all ladylike... Kevin watched her into the bathroom. Only with the sound of rushing water did he enter the bedroom. Sitting on the mini sofa in front of the bed, the corner of his eyes rested on the bathroom door.She was indeed beautiful, rude but lovely! She was well-behaved and delightful. Even when she wasn't, she wasn't obnoxious.In the end, Kevin concluded that she was perfect for him! With her around, he was always happy. Even if she were t
Just like that one month had passed. In this one month, Kevin had worked non-stop. The next month he and Rose were getting married. Before their marriage, Kevin had decided to finish all his two months of work, because he had promised Rose that he would take her on vacation.In the Star International CEO’s office…Kevin sat behind on his chair and was busy looking at the documents in his hand and when Daniel knocked on the door and came inside…Daniel walked to the coffee machine made two cups of coffee and gave one to Kevin. Then he sat on the opposite chair.Kevin finished reading the file in his hand, signed his name, and put it down. He picked up the cup of coffee and asked…“How are the things I asked you to do?” Kevin took a sip of the coffee and asked.“I have dealt with everything as you said. The Follen Group all shares fell after the news of Mr. Follen being involved in money laundering and Tax evasion came to the light. After the investigation, Mr. Follen was sent to jail a
Just like that, with the help of that man, she shot that video.After hearing everything, Rose's eyes widened in shock. Because in the video lights were dim she wasn’t able to see clearly. What’s more men’s eyes were closed and because of the panic in her heart, she didn’t think too much and came here…“Since I have told you everything, I hope you can rest in peace after your death,” Lucy said as she stood up from her chair and was about to go out.However, she stopped and looked back at her. “Oops, I forget to tell you something very important. You are not going to die hare alone, so don’t be sad. Because your husband will also be going to accompany you.”“What do you mean?” She asked.“It’s like, in another ten minutes Kevin will be here to save you. However, as long as he opened the door, the bomb under your chair will be activated and BOOM!”“Okay, now I am get going, because your husband will be here soon.” After Lucy finished speaking, she picked up her bag and left.Before leav
The man in the photo was the person who had drugged Rose's father. Kevin had been looking for this man for a long time, however before he could catch him he had already left the C city.That’s why it takes so much time for him to find him. However, after finding out about the person behind all this, he was very disappointed. He had some idea, but after finding out that the person was Scarlett, he felt a little sad in his heart.After all, they have so many good memories together and even if they are no longer with each other, he still hopes that both of them can live their lives happily.“Scarlett, I had given you so many chances in the past, because I always respected our friendship… However, this time you had hurt the person who was very important to me… I will never forgive you…” Kevin said calmly.Kevin knows that for Rose her parents are very important in her life. All these years she had worked so hard to save her father. This time if something happened to her father, he can’t e
Kevin looked at Rose who was eating happily and asked, “I can understand everything, but I can’t understand one thing.”“What is it?” Rose asked.“How did I still able to win the bid?” He asked.“Oh, that… Because, I gave them a USB drive with filled with virus. As long as they opened it, all the data inside was destroyed.”Rose said. However, she was only able to do all this, with the help of Stella. Rose was very grateful to her. If she didn’t help her, she didn’t know whom to ask. It was also the reason, Rose sent her parents abroad, because she was afraid that once, that person found out that she had given him a USB filled with a virus, he would attack her parents again.Kevin nodded. After the both of them, finished eating, Rose washed the dishes and looked at Kevin who was still sitting on the sofa. “Why are you not leaving?” She asked.“I am not going anywhere. Because there is also another reason why I came here today.” Kevin said.“What other reason?” Rose asked, as she walke
After he finished speaking, he went inside. Kevin put the things in his hand on the table and looked at Rose, who was also walking over after closing the door.Kevin went forward and hugged her tightly. He buried his head in her shoulder and said, “I miss you so much.”Rose smiled and patted on his back. “Let me go, I am very hungry. Let’s eat something first.” She said.The person she asked to deliver food was none other than, but Kevin. Kevin nodded and let her go. After that, both of them, sat down to eat. Looking at her favorite food, Rose smiled and started to eat happily.As she was eating, she thought something and asked, “How are the things going on? Do you find the person behind all this?”Kevin looked up at her and said, “"Yes that man is Sebastain Davis, who installed that motoring device in your phone.""Sebastain Davis?" Hearing this name, Rose finally understands everything... "So it was him who did this. No wonder I didn't find out anything.""Don't worry, it will not l
Looking at the group of people who were condemning and glaring at her, Rose suddenly understood.It turned out that this was the real purpose of this trap! To let Kevin and even the whole Davis family witness her betrayal of him with their own eyes. It was to turn her family against her and completely break the relationship between the two!As her eyes fell on Scarlett and the middle-aged man, Rose concluded. "What a coincidence! This matter must have something to do with her!" Rose thought to herself.When she was still sorting out her thoughts, Lucy had already rushed over in anger. She looked at the computer for a few seconds, then she shouted."I saw you entering the hotel with a man sneakily. I thought that you were having an affair. It turned out that you had stolen something. Has the Davis family done you any wrong? You actually stole Star International's trade secrets in exchange for fifty million dollars? What is this? The bidding proposal for the west city!"She kept yelling
By the time Kevin came back, it was almost midnight, but Rose was still on the sofa. As soon as she saw him, she got up and ran up to him."Hubby, is dad alright? Is there anything wrong?"Rose took his coat and hung it up. She also took a set of clothes for him to change into and said, "You must be tired! Are you hungry? Let me make you supper. Go and take a shower first!"Seeing that he had returned, everything should be fine now. Just when Rose was about to move, Kevin held her waist."It's fine, I'm not hungry! Dad's fine now. We don't know what he ate that suddenly shot up his blood pressure, but he's stable now. It's already so late, why haven't you slept? Is there anything urgent that I need to know?""No! It's good that he's fine! I just wanted to wait for you to come back. I wouldn't feel at ease if I didn't know what's going on! As for my matter, let's talk about it next time. Quick, go take a shower and rest!"Pushing him into the bathroom, Rose quickly tidied up the bed an
"Then don't let him enter the third round!"He threw the list aside and said in a low voice, "Let's see how he can stir up trouble if he can't enter! By the way, do you think... there is anything wrong with the bidding in Western City this time?"“Okay.” Daniel said and was about to leave… However, he stopped and said…"Don't forget that you've made an appointment with Director Sander for dinner at Sky Water Hotel this evening!" Daniel reminded him when he saw that he was very disturbed and left!Kevin sat there for a while, moving away.****That evening, Rose went to Sky Water Hotel as instructed. In the room, she saw the so-called bidding document, it was a USB drive. The staff said that the room was booked online, but the customer was anonymous, so Rose didn't ask for more details. Although this person prepared everything so meticulously and carefully, even if she found out who put it there, the person must be someone insignificant!At that moment, Rose was not in a hurry to find
Rose accompanied her dad the whole way, and only turned her attention to Grayson when she went back to the office. Grayson gave her a cup of water."Don't worry, the results need some time to be released! Now, tell me, what is going on?" He asked."I'm not hiding anything. It is exactly as what I have told you! I don't know what is going on either..."Rose felt helpless, and her anxiety was obvious. Except for the part where she needed the proposal to exchange for the cure, she confessed everything.While they were speaking, a nurse sent in the reports to them.After closing the door, Rose asked anxiously, "How is it? What exactly is the issue?""From the films and the results, so far everything is normal! However, something... unknown is found in his bloodstream!"Because it was listed as a private and confidential matter, this report was not saved. It was specially labelled and the doctors filled in the report according to what he had given."Something unknown?" Rose muttered, her v
