After having dinner with Nora and playing for a while, Rose came back to the Lin residence with Doris.
It was getting dark and the villa was brightly lit.
When they got back, the grandmother had already gone to bed. Only Joy was in the living room. When
she saw Rose, she was more enthusiastic than before, "Rose and Doris, good evening. Have you
eaten yet?"
"Yes." Rose held Doris and was about to leave.
Joy asked her again, "I heard that you have gone to City J on business."
"Yes."
"Have you met Mr. Bright?" Joy was concern about their relationship now.
"Yes." Rose knew clearly what Joy meant, "He even put off his social intercourse to climb the mountain
with me. We had a good time."
"It sounds great." Joy laughed, "It's getting late. Go upstairs and rest now. Good night."
Rose then remained calm and took Doris upstairs.
Joy stood still and watched them go upstairs, frowning in confusion.
There seemed to be something wrong. Sophie said that she had asked someone to go to the Lee
family to reveal the fact that Rose was Bright's mistress. The Lee family was so prestigious that the
woman who could marry into it should also be a young lady of note in City J and had a powerful
background. So, the Lee family would deal with it. Besides, Joy heard from Sophie that the man told
her that although the Lee family's master did not get very angry, he was a little unhappy.
So, Rose shouldn't be able to climb the mountain with Bright happily.
Or Sophie was fooled by that person?
At that moment, Chandler, who had returned from a dinner party, walked in and elbowed Joy who froze,
"What are you looking at?"
"Nothing." Joy did not dare to tell Chandler about what Sophie had done. Because she was afraid that
Chandler would destroy their plan.
She did not agree with Sophie. But she also did not want Rose to become arrogant because of Bright
in the Linder family. So, she turned a blind eye to what Sophie had done.
Rose must offer the design of the Beach Hotel in two weeks. So, she had to be busy with her work.
Time flied.
She and Bright had no contact on the surface. But they would chat on WeChat.
Bright sent this to her at noon: Even if you're busy with work, you should eat.
Rose replied in a playful and amusing way: I'm not as busy as Mr. Bright. I should be the one who is
worried about whether Mr. Bright has a good meal.
Bright then got up and went to the round table by the sofa. There were several dishes on the table, all
of which were the lunches Bill ordered for him every day.
Bright: Would you like to join me?
Rose sent an emoji: The big boss's working meal is so rich! I suddenly feel I am so poor.
Bright sat down in the sofa: You want to eat? It's only fair that you give something in exchange, right?
Mrs. Lee.
Rose sent an emoji of kiss to bribe Bright.
Bright smiled: I'll remember that Mrs. Lee owes me a kiss. Wait.
Wait? What should she wait for?
Rose propped her head, frowned, and thought. She should go to the company's canteen now.
She put down her pen, got up, and went to the cafeteria. Just as she served her meal, she saw Amy
waving at her.
Rose then walked to her. Amy was the only one who was the most enthusiastic to her in the company
and always helped her. Matthew also helped her. But he was her boss anyway. She was now married.
So, they should avoid arousing suspicion.
"This drumstick is for you." Amy took a drumstick from her plate and gave it to Rose.
"Then I'll share some of these sweet and sour pork chops with you?" Rose said.
"No. There were only two drumsticks when I was there. Thinking of that we only get drumsticks once a
month, I took one for you." Amy liked drumsticks the most. "Relax. we should help each other as
colleagues."
Rose felt that Amy was reasonable and secretly remembered her kindness.
"Let's enjoy it."
Just as they began to eat, a man in Scent Pearl Restaurant's take-out clothes came with Scent Pearl
Restaurant's special antique rectangular food container.
Scent Pearl Restaurant was a national chain of popular high-end restaurants. People who wanted to
have a meal there must be their members. Members needed to pay an annual fee. Their chefs were
proficient in eight cuisines. The food they cooked made others' mouth watery.
The delivery man walked in. Everyone fixed their eyes on the beautiful retro food container and could
not help but swallow.
The delivery man stood in front of Rose's table and studied her. Seeing her work ID on her neck, he
said, "Are you Ms. Rose?"
"Yes." Rose lightly put down the chopsticks in her hand.
"Please sign for it." The delivery man handed her the delivery note.
Rose signed it and handed it back to the delivery man. The man put it away, opened the food container,
and took out several dishes, including sweet-and-sour fish, stir-fried tofu in hot sauce and fried beef
with pepper, braised bamboo shoot and fried shrimps with Longjing tea, braised chicken with chestnuts,
and egg soup with tomatoes.
These dishes were exactly the same as the ones in the photo Bright had sent her.
So, this was what Bright had meant by waiting. He ordered the same dish for her. Rose was touched by
his kindness.
He had caught her heart and let her fall in love with him in such an unexpected way.
After the delivery man left, Amy looked at the rich dishes on the table. It smelled so good that it made
her hungrier now.
The other people looked at the food on the table, smelled the aroma, and envied.
Only Lily and her best friend were jealous.
"Rose, did your husband order all this for you?" Amy could only think of this.
"I guess so." Rose just smiled lightly.
"Rose, your husband is so nice to you." Amy looked envious, "I've never eaten the dishes in Scent
Pearl Restaurant. I heard that it is very expensive. The price of some dishes is equal to my monthly
salary."
Rose took sweet-and-sour fish for Amy, "Then you've tried it today."
"Rose, you are so kind." Amy was touched, "But is this okay? This is a gift from your husband."
"Good things should be shared with friends. Just help yourself." Rose thought Amy was too cute.
"Well, thank you."
Lily at the next table watched this and was so angry that she had no appetite at all.
"Lily, Rose can't necessarily get dishes from Scent Pearl Restaurant even if she has money. Her
husband is so powerful?" someone asked in confusion.
"Does she really have a husband when she says she does?" Lily looked angry and said rudely, "Maybe
she's the mistress of someone."
"Yes. she looks dissipated. A mistress who destroys people's families will come to no good end."
