"What is it?" Without raising his head, Burke casually sorted out the documents in his hands.
Seeing this, Amanda quickly walked to Burke, took his arm and shook it gently. "Dear Burke, I heard
that you are going to attend a charity dinner tonight?"
"Yes." Burke replied coldly, still not looking at her.
Amanda removed her hand from his and walked to the couch and sat down. "You haven't been with me
for a long time. Don't you want to take me to the party?"
Burke stopped his work and rubbed his sore temples. "I'm going to take Rose with me tonight. If you
feel boring, you can go out with your friends."
Amanda was so angry to hear that Burke was going to take rose to the dinner party.
'Rose, it's you again!'
In order to keep a good image in front of him, Amanda couldn't show her obvious jealousy. She forced
a smile and said, "Will sister Rose also attend the banquet? Then it is not appropriate for me to go
there. After all, sister Rose is Mrs. Gu of the Gu Group." Asked Amanda, stressing the word 'Mrs. Gu'
on purpose. She wanted to see how Burke would react.
But Burke didn't reply. The air in the room seemed to be frozen, making Amanda on the sofa a little bit
uneasy.
Mike's voice came from outside all of a sudden.
"Mr. Gu, people in the project department are waiting in the meeting room."
Hearing this, Burke stood up and said to the depressed Amanda, "I have a meeting. You can go back
first." After saying that, he walked out of the ward.
Seeing how unhappy Amanda was, Mike guessed that she must have been given a cold shoulder by
Burke. So he walked into the office and asked with a smile, "Miss. Zhao, would you like to stay here a
little longer? Shall I make you a cup of coffee? "
Amanda, who had been depressed, was provoked by Mike and felt humiliated. She gave him a sharp
stare, stood up and left in anger.
In the evening, in the small villa of the Gu's manor, Rose had been ready to sit in the living room,
waiting for the arrival of Burke.
The wind at night blew in from outside the window and it was a little bit cold. Rose asked Sophia to take
a cashmere shawl and put it on to resist the chill that was coming from outside or from the heart.
At six o'clock sharp, the car of Burke slowly stopped at the gate of the villa. The driver gave a hint to
the servant to invite Lin Ruan to get on the car.
"Mrs. Gu, here is Mr. Gu's car." The servant came in and said.
"Okay." Rose stood up and straightened her dress. Holding her handbag in one hand and the shawl in
the other, she slowly walked towards the door. Since she was on her feet, she only wore a pair of low
heeled shoes, which made her look a bit young and pretty when she played with the fish tail.
Seeing that Rose was walking towards him, Burke's eyes were lit up by her innocent appearance. He
had to admit that Rose's beauty was always pure and elegant, like a blooming lotus flower.
A servant came up to open the door for Rose. As soon as the door was opened, Burke had already
been sitting on the side of the back seat. He reached out and gestured for her to hold the car.
Rose took a look at the hand reached out by Burke, and suddenly turned her eyes away. She bent
down and sat in the car, leaving Burke's hand hanging in the air awkwardly.
Seeing this, Burke suddenly grabbed Rose's hand on the seat and held it tightly. No matter how hard
she struggled, he didn't reduce his grip.
'Rose, you will never be able to escape from me for the rest of your life.'
The corners of his mouth curved in a charming smile, and the hazy night looked especially enchanting.
Rose bit her lips with hatred and stopped struggling.
"Let's go." Burke said to the driver.
The driver nodded and drove the car slowly out of the manor.
At the gate of the Billion Hotel, it was packed with a sea of people and colorful flowers. All the media
journalists had been in place, ready to take the lead to capture the looks of celebrities from various
walks of life.
The long red carpet extended from 50 meters to the hotel hall. The crowd was full of media and
onlookers on both sides, and dozens of security personnel were responsible for maintaining the order
at the scene.
Burke's car stopped steadily in front of the red carpet, and two waiters opened the door for the guests.
As soon as they stepped out of the car, all the people in the lobby were attracted by them.
It was the first time for Burke and Rose to show up in public since they got married.
The media journalists rushed forward to interview Mrs. Gu, who had always been very low-key, but
were all stopped by the security personnel under the command of Burke.
Rose's hand climbed up to Burke's bent arm and smiled at him softly, like the sunshine in spring that
warmed the heart.
She never liked such a formal and formal occasion, but in order to save her father out of prison, she
had to cooperate with him obediently, playing the role of a good couple.
Burke was satisfied with Rose's reaction. No matter she was sincere or not, when she held his hand
and smiled at him, he felt that all the good things in the world were dejected in an instant.
As the two were chatting, they strolled to the hall arm in arm.
In the ball, celebrities from various walks of life gathered. Men and women all dressed up for the event.
They held goblets in their hands and chatted with each other in a graceful manner. Various delicious
foods and desserts were served at the long table.
Seeing the couple strolling hand in hand, everyone turned their eyes on them. No matter in appearance
or temperament, Burke and Rose outshone all the people present and had a unique elegance.
A middle-aged man about 40 years old walked slowly towards the couple with a female companion
beside him.
The waiter passed by with champagne. Burke took two glasses at random and handed one of them to
Rose.
The middle-aged man raised his glass of red wine and toasted to Burke and Rose. After taking a sip,
he said with a smile, "It's rare for Mr. Gu to attend a banquet, but today he even brought a female
companion. It seems that the sponsor is really important. Who is the lady next to you?" He turned to
look at Rose.
"It's my wife, Rose Lin." Burke smiled politely and said.
Rose nodded to the middle-aged man.
"Oh, it's Mrs. Gu! Haha, I think I'd better come to see her once I have heard of her. She is so beautiful
and elegant. She deserves to be the lady of the Gu Group." The middle-aged man praised.
Rose could not help feeling disgusted. Noticing the uneasiness on her face, Burke nodded at the
middle-aged man and led her to the center of the party.
Rose indistinctly felt that someone was staring at her.
