Matthew and Rose looked at each other. "Rose, in my heart I think we are more like friends than
colleagues."
"Mr. Matthew, we are subordinates when we are working together, but we are friends in life. It is my
honor to have such a true friend like you." Matthew cared about Rose and had helped her a lot here,
and he was kind, so she naturally became friends after getting along with him.
"My pleasure, too." Matthew took a sip of his coffee. "Is your grandfather all right?"
"Yes, he's fine," Rose said, "All we want to do now is respect his decision and fulfill his wish, and do our
best to make him happy every day."
"That's good. It's more important to be happy every day than anything else," Matthew comforted her.
"That's what I thought, so I came back to work." Rose smiled, trying to suppress her bitterness, and
then changed the subject, "What about you? Have you worked things out with Velina?"
"No, my mother is forcing me to marry her, but I really have no love for Velina. I only treat her like my
sister. It's impossible for us to be together, and even if we get married, we will be unhappy in the future.
So, it would be better not to start than to get married and get divorced. That's my respect for her, so I
don't want to compromise just because my mother forces me to marry her." Matthew frowned when he
talked about it.
"So, you haven't gone home, and you've been staying in the hotel? That's not to best way to deal with
the matter." Rose was also worried.
"I know it's not the way to tackle the problem, but what can I do about it? It's my mother, and I can't
break the relationship with her." Matthew rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache. "Or do you have
any good way to help me?"
"Marriage is a private matter between you and Velina. If you can convince Velina to give up or ask her
to tell your mother that she doesn't want to marry you, I think the matter can be resolved." Rose
thought it was the best solution if Velina could give up the marriage on her own initiative.
"You can have a face-to-face talk with Velina, get to know what she thinks, and then talk the things
over. Velina also seems to be a well-educated girl, and she should understand you."
"Yes, I will try," Matthew nodded, "By the way, your return to the office today is something worth to
celebrate. I'll take you out to meet your colleagues."
"No, we all know each other." Rose didn't want to make a sensation.
"It's fine." Matthew got up to open the door and went to the design department with Rose.
People were surprised and happy to see Rose.
Matthew said to the suspicious crowd, "Designer Rose has returned to our design department since
today."
And then he applauded. The crowd began to applaud, but some people did not want to.
"Well, to celebrate Rose's return, I'm going to treat you to dinner tonight and then to karaoke."
Matthew was very generous.
Rose didn't expect Matthew to make such a big sensation, but she knew that some things were just for
fun, so she didn't say anything to spoil everyone's mood.
Rose went back into her office and Amy knocked on the door with a cup of coffee. "I'm so glad you're
back, Rose," she said.
"I saw you grinning from ear to ear just now." Rose looked at the clean and tidy office and the feeling of
those working days came back.
"I thought you wouldn't come back when you have gone so long, especially Lily and some guys... they
wanted to sit in your seat. When Mr. Matthew said you would come back, I was sure you would, and it
did."
As she tidied up her desk, Rose listened to Amy and smiled without saying a word.
"Rose, what are you thinking? You have no idea how much I've missed you since you took your
vacation." Amy said sweetly.
"Since you miss me so much, please help me find out all the materials about Beach Hotel now. I need
both electronic and paper versions."
Rose looked at Amy.
"Ah? Rose, there is so much information. I don't want to..." Amy looked bitter at once.
"So that's the way you miss me?" Rose winked at Amy as she rested her chin on one hand.
"No." Amy clasped her fingers nervously. "Missing you and looking for information are two different
things. But I'll do my best if you ask me to. I will get it now."
Amy ran away and almost ran into her colleague on the way out.
Rose could not help shaking her head and chuckling at Amy who was still so careless.
Rose's work today was to finish reading the materials of Beach Hotel. Matthew said that although the
project was being promoted, Sky required it to be carried out until she came back, because she was
the main designer of the project.
Now that she was back, she was supposed to get this project going.
Amy sent her the electronic version of the information, and Rose quickly checked it.
But after a while, someone sent flowers to the design department, and it was for Rose. Suddenly, the
department got excited.
Rose was a little dumbfounded when she saw the 99 white roses. When she thought it was a gift from
Bright to congratulate her on her return to work, she knew it was not sent by him the moment she
opened the card and saw the words on it.
"I envy the sun, as he can see your brilliant smile; I envy the moon, because she can watch you sleep
peacefully; I envy myself, because I can always miss you." Amy read all the words on the card.
There was no name on it, and Rose did not know who was so boring as to send her flowers.
Amy held Rose happily and asked, "Rose, your husband is so romantic. He sent you such beautiful
bouquet and wrote such sweet words. It makes me so envious."
"It isn't sent by my husband. You can have them if you like them." Rose didn't take the flowers and left.
She had married, and she didn't accept flowers from anyone except her husband.
Amy looked at Rose's back in surprise, "It's not from your husband... Who sent this?"
"Rose is so pretty. There must be no shortage of other suitors."
"Yes, do you think her husband is under a lot of pressure when he knows Rose has suitors?"
"You can ask her husband."
"I have no idea who Rose's husband is. How can I ask?"
"Isn't there a dinner party today? Get Rose drunk and her husband will pick her up, won't he?"
"You're too bad."
"Don't tell me you're not curious about what Rose's husband looks like."
They all fell silent, each looking for an excuse to leave.
