Timothy was totally frightened by Bright. He didn't want his family to be destroyed. He still had to rely
on his family for the wealth and support. He had to drop his pride and kneeled for a woman even if he
was mocked. Every cost mattered as long as he had a chance to survive.
Rose was really confused when seeing him kneeling down outside the door.
He just mocked her sharply at the party last night. How could it be possible that he was willing to kneel
down to beg for pardon today.
Every passer-by saw the weird scene. They were all guessing what happened between Rose and this
man.
"Do you think if Miss Rose abandoned this man…"
"No! Miss Rose has married, so this man might be her husband. See, he keeps begging for pardon.
Perhaps he cheated on her and Miss Rose was aware of that."
"No! He addresses her as Miss Rose, not honey or babe! So he is not her husband!"
"Perhaps Miss Rose ruined his plan or she had something on him. That's why a gentleman like him
even kneels down for pardon."
"I wouldn't do that if I weren't him. If I have to, I would do it at home when no one is around."
"So what makes him kneel for her!"
"Stop guessing! We will know soon if we keep watching."
Rose frowned when noticing those gossipers. Then she looked at Timothy.
She thought she'd better leave him alone. She then turned around and left everyone keep gossiping,
leaving Timothy playing his own trick.
She thought those onlookers would also leave if they lost interest after she left.
Timothy was quite flustered when seeing her leave. He then shouted, "Miss Rose, I will keep kneeling
here till you nod to forgive me!"
How dared he threaten her!
Rose smiled coldly and said indifferently, "Mr. Timothy, you can just kneel here for all day long if you
insist."
"I have much work to deal with. I am afraid I have no time to waste on you." Rose then said to the
guards, "Watch him! Don't let him in to disturb me!"
Rose spared him no choice. She then turned to walk towards the elevator without looking back.
Timothy saw her walk into the elevator and press the button. He wanted to rush in anxiously. But the
guards stopped him as required.
"Mr. Timothy, I am sorry. You are not allowed to come in."
Timothy was anxious and mad when seeing her go upstairs.
Some onlookers still stood and watched. If he left, all his efforts would be gone. What was more, he
had just promised. So he had to keep kneeling on one knee in front of the building.
He just hoped Rose could show him sympathy for his persistence.
Timothy kept kneeling. However, as a man living in affluence, he felt both his waist and back pain after
kneeling for a while. His knee hurt as well because of the hard ground.
His fact turned pale and his shirt was drenched by sweat, which stuck to his body, making him quite
uncomfortable.
When it was at noon, Timothy slumped onto the ground. He stripped off his suit jacket and also his tie.
His hairs were drenched by sweat as if he ran couple of miles to get here.
When people passed by to have lunch, Timothy said to them, "Please tell Miss Rose I need to meet
her. If she still refuses, I will be dead…"
Timothy felt himself almost dying if Rose still refused to meet him.
One of the gossipers did go to deliver a message for Timothy in front of Rose.
Rose just stared coldly at the one who were once close to Lily, "If you are free now, just take those files
for copy. The total of these files is 100."
That person looked quite discontented when seeing the files, "Miss Rose, you should make those
junior girls to these odds and ends. That's not my job."
"So you deem delivering a message for Mr. Timothy as your job?" Rose stopped her work and still
stared at that person, "Since your job is to meddle with trifles, why not let you handle the copies?"
"I am just here to deliver a message."
"And I just ask you to have some copies." Rose then continued seriously, "If you feel like being
aggrieved, let's go to Mr. Matthew's office and let him decide on this matter."
Upon hearing that, that person was flustered, "Miss Rose, I don't think we should bother Mr. Matthew
just because of such a trifle."
She also afraid of being fired just like Ximena if Matthew knew it.
Though that person was quite annoyed by the fact that Rose could threaten her with her relationship
with Matthew and William, she had no choice but to hold back her grievance and take the files for copy.
Rose really disdained a gossiper like her. What a weird and disgusting person!
Suddenly, her phone rang. It was a call from Bright.
She picked up the phone, though quite annoyed, "Why do you call me?"
"The news that Timothy kneels in front of your workplace has been a heated topic on the Internet."
Bright still paid attention to the next move of Timothy.
"And you just focus on your work. Leave him alone."
"I am quite curious. Why did he come to my place for me? He offended you, right?" Rose seemed to
find out the reason when hearing his words.
"Cruz told my father in the Intercontinental Garden Hotel that it has something to do with Timothy when
you are slandered as a mistress. But the culprit was actually Sophie." Bright explained and then
continued, "Plus what happened last night at the party…Though they hurt you, they actually offended
me since then."
Bright wouldn't just stand by and watch when Rose was involved. He had to make them pay the price.
And he just started his plan to retaliate against Sophie while starting from Timothy.
Upon hearing that, Rose smiled. She felt warm in her heart and tears wet her eyes.
She remained silent for a while but still failed to utter as he felt quite warm in her heart.
"What? Are you moved?" Bright seemed to read her mind.
"Thank you, honey." She called him as honey intimately again.
"Don't mention it, honey." Bright was quite overjoyed to hear that, "Let me handle all these. And you
just need to focus on your work only."
"Okay. But I didn't expect Timothy would ally himself with Sophie." Rose felt relaxed while speaking.
For Bright, that would be the best backup.
"I can still smash them easily even they team up." Bright sneered.
