Rose felt relaxed after telling William everything. They were more suitable to be friends.
"I haven't seen Doris for a long time. How about I pick her up from school with you after work and then
go to dinner?" William suggested.
He was no less fond of Doris than Bright. But Bright was Doris' father. This was the point where Bright
had the advantage over William. So, Doris felt Bright was kind the first time they met.
"OK." Rose agreed.
William, who came to City H, was a guest, and she was the host. So, she naturally should perform the
duties of the host. Besides, William was not only her boss, but also her friend. He had taken care of her
for so many years and she owed him too much. She should repay him. A meal could show her
kindness.
In this way, Rose and William made arrangements. William did not leave and went to Matthew to talk
about some things.
After they finished talking, William didn't leave and sat on the sofa in Matthew's office drinking tea.
"Mr. William and Rose are very familiar." Matthew picked up the kettle and poured the brewed tea into
his cup.
"Yes." William was not shy, "I thought she was very special from the moment she joined the company.
She has special ideas and talent in design. For cherishing talent, I gave her some opportunities and
she completed them very well."
"Rose is indeed young and talented." Matthew also thought so.
"I didn't expect her to return to City H. So, please take care of her in the future, Mr. Matthew." William
had thought that he could shelter Rose for the rest of her life. He didn't expect her to leave him.
" Don't mention it, Mr. William. Rose is so excellent and capable. She doesn't need other's care at all."
Matthew was telling the truth, "Of course, I will treat a talent like her kindly."
As a supervisor, he definitely wanted to keep his excellent employees. While as a colleague, he
naturally should keep his distance from Rose.
After all, Bright and Rose were somewhat ambiguous. He did not want to be a thorn in Bright's side.
"I'm sorry to trouble Mr. Matthew from now on." William lifted his tea as a tribute.
Matthew also raised his tea in return. After taking a sip of the sweet tea, he got up, "Make yourself
comfortable, Mr. William. I'm going to work now."
"OK." William nodded and sipped his tea, waiting until Rose got off work.
William saw that it was almost time. Matthew was also already packing his things.
"Rose is going to pick up her daughter after work. Mr. William will come with her?" Matthew picked up
the suit jacket on the back of the chair and put it on.
"Yes. I haven't seen Doris for a long time." William was gentler while mentioning Doris.
Matthew walked to William. He naturally tidied up the cuffs of his white shirt with an extra cut of the suit
cuffs and looked gentle.
"My son is in the same class as Rose's daughter. Why don't we go there together?" Matthew said.
"Let's go." William stepped out and Matthew followed.
They went to find Rose just as Rose came out. Matthew smiled and said, "We're going the same way
anyway. So, let's go pick up the kids together."
Rose nodded. The three of them took the elevator to the underground parking lot, where Rose walked
to her red Ferrari and pressed the key to unlock the doors.
William was naturally drawn to her cool sports car. He approached it and pulled the door open to sit in
it.
"Fasten your seat belt." Rose reminded him.
Matthew drove the car out of the underground parking lot first, and then Rose followed.
"Looks like he's fond of you and so generous." William thought that the car was a gift from Bright to
Rose.
Rose was frugal and would not waste her money on such an expensive means of transportation.
Secondly, her income was not enough for her to buy such an expensive car. So, he could not think of
any reason why she would have such a luxurious car just a short time after returning to City H and
could only think of Bright.
Rose was very proud who never accepted gifts from anyone for no reason. She didn't want to owe
anyone a favor, including him.
But she accepted Bright's car, which meant she really accepted Bright and did not treat Bright as an
outsider.
William felt complicated and bitter. He was too late after all.
"He didn't buy it for me." Rose knew he would misunderstand and explained, "I came home and found
out my sister had such a nice car. So, I asked my dad to buy it for me too. That was fair."
William was startled, not expecting Rose's father to be so rich, "Who is your father?"
"It doesn't matter who he is at all. What matters is that he should make it up to me for what he owes
me." Rose did not want to mention who her father was. Anyway, there was no family relationship
between them. It would only make people laugh.
William did not ask further questions. Since she didn't want to say it, he wouldn't ask.
Rose did not continue the topic. Soon, they arrived at the kindergarten.
Her car was parked behind Matthew's. They got out of the car and entered the kindergarten with a
certificate. Then, they went to the class and picked up Doris and Wyatt and parted at the gate.
Wyatt was loath to part with Doris. Rose invited them, "Mr. Matthew, why don't you go to dinner with
us?"
"Forget it this time. Mr. William seldom comes to City H. You guys must have a lot to say. I will not
bother. There will be an opportunity for me to invite Mr. William and you to dinner." Matthew was
sensible and did not want to bother and spoil the catch-up between them.
"Wyatt, say goodbye." Matthew pulled his son.
Wyatt said to Doris, "Bye."
With that, they left. Rose took Doris to the car.
"What do you want to eat?" Rose asked William.
"A guest should suit the convenience of the host. Whatever you want, I'll eat." William wasn't picky. He
just wanted to spend more time with her.
Rose then drove to a fine restaurant with a wide and simple layout, which made people feel good.
The first floor was the lobby. The second, third and fourth floors were private rooms.
They sat in the lobby and was next to the window of the inner courtyard. Outside, there were green
bamboos and the view here was good.
Rose asked William to order, but he let her make the decision.
Rose then ordered four dishes and one soup, which was suitable for them.
She served tea for William and chatted with him while waiting for the dishes.
They didn't notice that someone had been watching them for a while at the stairs and had taken out his
cell phone to find some tricky angles to take pictures.
Rose and the other two did not notice it at all. Then, the dishes were served.
