Secretary Chen had always thought that the two of them had a close relationship. Tonight, Jim told
Secretary Chen that he and Rose had something to deal with and asked her to leave first.
Secretary Chen chuckled to show that she understood and left the two alone.
"Sometimes, I thought I would have fired her if she hadn't been with me for so many years." Holding
her dress and handbag, Rose walked into the elevator in high heels.
Hearing this, Jim shrugged and said, "don't do this. I don't want to make Secretary Chen lose her job
because of me."
"Isn't it better to lose her job? Then she can work in your company. " Glancing at Jim, Rose had drunk
too much tonight and her head was still uncomfortable.
"What? Are you angry? " Playing with the key ring, Jim tentatively looked at Rose and said with a smile,
"Why are you so beautiful even when you are angry?"
"Thank you for your praise." Rose nodded and thanked him, without any change of the expression on
her face.
Jim was a little frustrated. He had never been so interested in a woman, but she didn't accept his heart
at all.
"Rose, sometimes I wonder if there is a deep hatred between the two of us which makes you treat me
like this, sometimes cold and sometimes warm." Jim leaned against the wall of the elevator and said
with a smile.
Rose's body stiffened for a moment. When the elevator arrived at the first floor, she walked out
immediately.
"Stop pestering me. I'm very tired now. I want to go back and have an good rest today." Rose said in a
bad tone.
"Let me drive you home." Jim said to Rose.
"To be honest, I don't need it." Rose softened her tone and still refused.
"I didn't drink a drop of wine tonight because of you. Rose, if you still consider me as one of your
friends, just let me drive you back. If you are still angry, please forgive me. I might have crossed the
bottom line tonight. I'm so sorry. I just want to make a joke with you. I've always treated you as my
friend. Today's joke is a little too much. " Jim apologized to Rose seriously.
Rose lowered her eyes and hesitated. Her intuition told her that the man in front of her was too
dangerous.
"Rose, I wonder why you still don't want me to send you back. Did you take my joke seriously? Or do
you have some special feeling to me that you have to distance yourself from me? " Jim decided to
goad her into action.
Rose sighed and said softly, "thank you."
As expected, Jim kept his promise and sent Rose to the entrance of her apartment building. He didn't
drive away until he saw the light of her apartment was on in the car.
Rose went upstairs, still in a daze. She turned on the light and threw her bag and the dress bag to the
ground. Sitting in front of the computer screen, she thought about what she should do.
The effect of alcohol would always make her brain out of control. For example, now, she opened the
computer for some reason and then opened a hidden folder.
The folder's name was -- Burke.
It was a folder with photos of Burke taken long time ago, showing him in a meeting, lost in thought, and
at various social activities.
These were the pictures that Rose had collected from the major media when she was with Burke.
With one hand supporting her chin, Rose pressed the mouse with the other hand and browsed them
one by one quickly.
He had a handsome face, a tall nose, deep eyes, and a thin lips. He looked handsome either with a
smile or with a serious look.
Rose looked at those photos and her sight gradually blurred.
"Burke..." She called his name softly and sobbed silently in the dim light of the quiet night.
You see, alcohol is not a good thing. It can paralyze the nerves and make people out of control.
She couldn't help missing a person, crazily.
Rose didn't want to admit it. In fact, she had held a glimmer of hope in the past three years.
Although she had made up her mind not to have connection with Burke, it was not easy to leave a
person she had loved for more than ten years.
She knew it was very easy to investigate her whereabouts by means of Burke.
But in the past three years, he had never looked for her.
He must have been tired of her. Before she left, he was so rude to her and was still holding girls in his
arms happily in the night clubs.
Now that the Cloud Group had stood out in the business world, how could he not know her.
The reason was just he didn't want to come.
Perhaps at this time, he had already had another beautiful woman who was congenial to him and
completely forgot her.
Yes, they didn't have any good memories when they were together.
Sometimes, she would deceive herself and think that if Burke would came to Ringle Land to see her,
she might sit down and have a peaceful conversation with him. And she might even accept him again.
But there was no possibility. Their relation was completely over.
Rose raised her head to hold back her tears.
Closing the document, Rose shook her head, took off her high heels, walked into the bathroom
barefoot, and turned on the shower, letting the cold wash on her face and flow down along the outline.
She was wrapped in the cold water and tried not to think about it anymore.
Undoubtedly, Rose had a fever on the second day.
When Tina came to Rose's company to find her, shewas told that Rose did not come to work.
Fortunately, Secretary Chen had a spare key to Rose's apartment. The two of them went to her
apartment and found her lying on the bed. Her temperature was so high that she was burning all over.
Tina and Secretary Chen immediately called the doctor to the apartment to treat Rose.
Fortunately, Rose was found in time and was fine.
Secretary Chen left after Rose woke up. Rose told her some important business about the company.
Tina was cooking porridge in the kitchen. When she came in and saw Rose sitting on the bed with a
quilt in her arms, she was angry and distressed. "Rose, let me ask you, who would take a cold shower
in such a weather? Did you get drunk yesterday? "
