This weekend, there would be a business party in the Garden International Hotel, and many celebrities
and influential figures would attend it, which was a rare opportunity.
William and Matthew would also attend the party. William had already asked Rose to attend it with him.
After all, William was a single, young and promising gentleman, so he needed a female companion.
If William asked other women in the company to accompany him, they would definitely start fangirling
to him, which would cause much trouble.
But Rose wouldn't. she wouldn't even if he wanted her to. She was the best person to represent the
company.
At 7:00 pm, the bright lights in the hotel were splendid. Most of the insiders gathered here, quite
boisterous.
William and Rose signed in at the banquet hall of the hotel. After walking in, they caused turmoil and
attention.
William wore a white suit, black bow tie, with a handsome face, tall and slim figure and tender
temperament, just like Prince Charming.
Rose took William by the arm. Her beautiful eyes were shining under the lights, and her red lips and
long black hair were so amazingly attractive. She wore a long champagne color dress made of multi-
layer soft gauze, so surprisingly beautiful like a fairy who fell down to the mortal world.
Someone that knew William walked forward to greet them, and William replied politely. Rose was also
mentioned in their conversation.
"The lady beside Mr. Quinn is so beautiful, and has impressed everyone present."
"Thanks."
"I wonder when I can attend Mr. Quinn's wedding?"
"Someday. Just wait."
William didn't deny or acknowledge, and just answered the question. He didn't say that he and Rose
were just friends and colleagues in order to protect Rose from being harassed by others.
Rose naturally knew that William was protecting her intentionally. She didn't like others to ask about
her, and in this way, she could avoid much trouble.
William also didn't want Rose to be looked up and down by those men who were fascinated by Rose's
beauty, but he euphemistically found an excuse to let Rose leave the crowd, and he would deal with
these people alone.
There were all kinds of delicious dessert, fruits and wine on the buffet table of the banquet hall.
Rose hid herself here and picked some fruit to eat.
At this time, a waiter walked forward, with a glass of wine on the tray over his right hand, "Miss Linder,
Mr. Quinn asked me to give it to you."
"Well? Thanks." Rose took over it with smile, holding it with her fair fingertips.
She looked down and shook it. A vortex appeared in the dark red liquid, so beautiful.
She didn't drink, but put it on the table.
During these years, Rose had experienced too much and seen too much. She was not the innocent
and simple girl anymore, and was more alert than before.
She wouldn't drink weird drinks, which was basic for self-protection.
She took a bottle of purified water from the table, and the waiter who came to get the wine asked,
"Lady, do you need any empty glass?"
"Thanks." It was really not elegant for her to drink water with bottle in such an occasion.
After sending the wine, the waiter brought an empty glass, "Here you are, lady."
Rose took over the glass and checked it. She didn't find any abnormality, so she poured the water into
the glass.
At this time, William had finished the greeting and toasting, and he took a light golden champagne from
the table, finding that Rose was holding purified water in her hand.
"Is the family discipline so strict? No champagne?" William said jokingly.
"No, I just don't want to drink alcohol." Rose took a sip of the water in the glass, "You know that I don't
like this kind of occasion, where I have to ingratiate myself with others."
"But you have to be accustomed." William took a sip of champagne, "You have chosen him, and you
will have to attend countless parties. You can't refuse all of them. You have to attend some important
parties that require the attendance of couples."
"I haven't thought so much." Rose really didn't think too much, "Let's discuss it later."
Previously they got married secretly, which was not announced to the public. Bright was still single in
the eyes of the public, so he naturally didn't need her accompany.
However, now their marriage was announced to the public. There would really be some important
occasions that required the appearance of them both. She should cooperate for him.
While Rose and William were speaking, Matthew walked over, "Mr. Quinn, our company is also one of
the bidders of the beachside hotel design collaborated by the Linder family and the Tanner family. Let's
go to have a talk with them."
"OK." William nodded, and said to Rose, "Come with us, because you also participate in this project."
This project was one of the most important projects of YM Group in the second half of the year. As the
design director of the head office, William should naturally take responsibility of it.
"Fine." Rose felt it was just business, and she didn't refuse.
Matthew took William and Rose to the crowd, and there was not only Chandler, Joy, Sam and May, but
also Sky and Sophie.
Although Sam and May heard that Rose had already came back to the Linder family, it was the first
time for them to meet her after 5 years.
After 5 years, Rose was not as innocent and immature as before. The time gave her maturity and
charm, and she was so attractive now, which was a golden moment for a woman.
Seeing Rose, Sam showed a slightly cold face, but May showed a faint smile, graceful.
Matthew introduced them to each other.
William greeted the Linder family and the Tanner family. Chandler and Sam praised him of being young
and promising.
Then Rose said, "Mr. Tanner, Mrs. Tanner."
Sam ignored Rose, and only May nodded as a response.
Sam kept a straight face just like before, and he even frowned slightly.
Sophie, who took Sam's arm, said softly, "Rose, what a surprise! Why are you here? I remember that
you don't like this kind of occasion."
Rose?
William and Matthew were surprised. They had never thought that Rose was the precious daughter of
the Linder family in City H. The Linder family was quite influential in City H, and after being connected
by marriage with the Tanner family, it began to associate with the Tanner family and their status rose
much.
"I attend this party on behalf of the company. You can call me Miss Linder or Designer Linder." Rose
kept distance with Sophie in the outside, let alone with them.
Sophie suddenly got embarrassed by what Rose said, as if Sophie ingratiated herself with Rose
intentionally.
"Rose, why are you so indifferent?" Sophie smiled to alleviate the subtle atmosphere between them,
"We are sisters and grew up together."
"We had better keep clear upon something." Rose's gaze swept across Sky by Sophie's side, "Even
though we are sisters, there is something that we can't share with each other."
