The Gu Group had been developing and developing well these years, which owe to the hard work and
management of the Burke. He has taken over the biggest company in the industry at a young age, and
promoted the strength of the company by a few percentage points in the short time. It is difficult even
for people who have been in the business world for many years.
Looking at the young CEO in front of him, Mike admired him from the bottom of her heart. Only he
knew how much efforts and time Burke had put in order to achieve today's achievements.
"I see. Thank you for your hard work. You can go back now. I'll arrange the meeting of the board of
directors another day." Burke picked up the medicine for stomach on the table. He took out two white
pills from the package of condom. He swallowed them in the water near his hand.
"Okay, Mr. Gu. Do you need a driver to send you back?" Seeing that Burke had taken the medicine,
Mike thought that he should also go back.
"No, thanks." Burke said indifferently, putting down the glass in his hand.
Without saying anything more, Mike nodded to Burke politely and left the office.
In the spacious CEO Office, only Burke was left alone. He touched the CEO brand name on the desk.
An overwhelming coldness swept over him.
He picked up the mobile phone on the table and click on Rose's name. He stopped, having been busy
all day, and he also didn't know how about Rose's injury. Whether she have a good rest on time or not.
At this time, he really wanted to hear Rose's voice, even just a simple greeting and words could make
him feel less lonely and helpless.
Thinking of this, he raised his head and looked at the clock on the wall. It was time for Rose to go to
sleep. He thought. After a long day and with an injured foot, Burke did not want to wake her up again.
He thought for a while, but he still did not call the Rose. He directly pressed the lock-up button, and the
screen instantly darkened.
The next morning, when the sun just lighted up, Rose got out of bed and freshened up. Then she
limped downstairs in a white dress. Since she cried all night and didn't sleep well last night, her eyes
were a little swollen and her face looked pale and haggard.
Sophie, who was preparing breakfast on the table, quickly put down the tableware in her hands, trotted
over, and helped Rose to sit down.
"Mrs. Rose, would you please come down and greet me. Or I can take the breakfast to your room. You
don't need to come down by yourself. " Sophie blamed.
Rose touched her right ankle and smiled, "don't worry, Sophie. It doesn't hurt much now. Doctor Wang's
medicine is quite effective."
"That's good, that's good. He is really a good doctor. As Sophie spoke, she made a bowl of porridge
and brought it to Rose.
As Rose quietly listened to Sophie's chatter, she stirred the white porridge in the bowl with a spoon,
slightly distracted.
'Burke, you really haven't come back all night. That was true. She was a wife married with a contract,
she just sprained her foot. How dare she compete with his sweetheart, Amy.
Rose laughed at herself in her mind. She knew that there was no chance between she and Burke, but
her mood was affected by his every movement.
"Ding, Ding, Ding..."
A sudden ringtone broke the peace in the room. A servant rushed downstairs with the phone in her
hand and handed it to Rose
"Mrs. Rose, you have a call."
Rose took the phone from a servant and stared at it. The familiar phone number and name were
flickering on the screen. It was her best friend, Tina Tao.
According to Tina's character, she should be still sleeping in bed at this time, but why did she call her
suddenly? She had a bad feeling about this.
"Hello, Rose..." Tina's faint voice came through the telephone receiver.
"Hey, Tina, what's wrong with you?" Tina had always been an outgoing girl, but she had never been so
depressed, which made Rose nervous.
"I'm pregnant." Pregnant? Shouldn't she be happy? There was no excitement in her tone.
"Are you pregnant? That was a good thing! Why are you... " Rose could not understand.
"Are you free now? Come to me now. It's not convenient to talk on the phone. " There was still no trace
of pleasure in Tina's voice.
"Okay, I'll be right there. Wait for me." Then Tina hung up the phone immediately.
Rose's heart sank. She and Tina had known each other for many years. According to her character,
she would not be so depressed if it was not something serious. Her intuition told her that something
was wrong with Tina.
After hanging up the phone, Rose, supported by the servant, went back to her room and simply
cleaned up. Then she grabbed her bag and was ready to go out.
Seeing that Rose went out in such a hurry and the injury on her foot hasn't healed yet, Sophie was still
worried, so she said a few words to Terry, the driver in charge of picking up Rose.
Her new driver Terry was a young man in his twenties. Seeing Sophie's nagging, he didn't listen in but
nodded his head.
"Oh, thank you for driving me to the Southern Garden." Sitting in the back seat, Rose said to the driver.
"Okay." Hearing the order, Terry could finally get rid of Sophie's chattering. He smiled at her and rolled
up the window. As starting the car, he disappeared in front of the villa immediately, leaving Sophie
standing there with a worried look.
As the rush hour had passed and the cars on the road were less and less, the stall selling breakfast
was being sold out in the street. The car soon arrived at the gate of the Southern Garden.
This housing estate was located in an old street in the downtown. Some old people were already old,
and most of the people living here were the relatives or staff of some cadres. And Tina and her
husband Yang also lived here.
Rose got out of the car. Her driver Terry helped her walk to the building of the Tina.
"Thank you. I'll call you in about two or three hours." Rose said to Terry.
"Okay, be careful." Terry embarrassedly scratched the back of his head, nodded and left.
With a limp, Leona entered the elevator and pressed the number of the Tao's. the elevator went straight
up.
It had been three years since Tina and Yang got married. At that time, the Lin Family had not
encountered a major change, and Rose had not been married to the Burke. She often came to the Tina
to chat with her. It was not strange to her here.
"Ding Dong." When the elevator reached the designated floor, she leaned her hand against the wall
and walked out of the elevator. She came to the door of Tina's house, only to find that the door was
open. It was very quiet in the house, as if no one was at home.
Rose stood by the door and rang the bell.
