"And didn't our department do a good job this time? We want to celebrate it as well, so Mr. Sue and Ms.
Linder, you can't be absent."
Matthew looked at Lily and nodded. "Yes. Go back to your work."
"Ms. Linder, be there on time."
"Definitely."
Rose was graceful and calm in the face of Lily.
When she got back to the office, Amy came over and said, "Ms. Linder, are you invited to Lily's birthday
dinner today?"
"I happened to meet her in Mr. Sue's office, and she invited me." Rose tried to get the cup but found it
was gone.
Amy placed her cup on her desk and said, "Here's your coffee."
"Thank you." Rose took it and took a sip.
"Ms. Linder, I heard that the Lily's birthday was held in No.8 Club by her boyfriend, Ethan. She just
wants to show off that she has a rich boyfriend so that everyone can envy her," Amy sneered.
"Well, it depends on how you see the matter." Rose was not envious. "It's her ability to have a rich
boyfriend."
"I don't envy her anyway," Amy said. "I heard that Ethan is not a dedicated lover and has dated a lot of
women. I'm sure Lily isn't the first and won't be the last."
"You'd better not talk about other people's business too much." Rose didn't want Amy to get into
troubles.
Amy was good but she was outspoken. Sometimes she didn't know how she had offended others.
"I'm only telling you, and I don't dare to tell others." Amy had learned to be careful after she suffered a
loss.
The time passed quickly, and it was lunch time now.
Rose sent a message to Bright during her lunch break. "Have you eaten yet?"
"Yes. What? Missed me?" Bright replied.
According to Bright's style, if he could solve a matter with a phone call, he wouldn't do it with text
messages. When he got together with Rose, he was influenced by her and used text messages more
often.
Sometimes he felt this way of contact was quite romantic. They could communicate slowly on the
message.
Rose looked at Bright's reply and smiled helplessly. "I want to tell you that there will be a birthday party
in the company tonight, so I will not go back for dinner. Please take good care of yourself, and Doris
and grandpa."
"Mrs. Lee, you seem to have more social activities than I am." Bright sounded unhappy that he was
being left out.
"I just happen to be busy these two days," Rose explained.
"You must make it up to me."
"OK, I'll make it up to you when I go back home, alright?"
Rose calmed Bright, "Be good, Mr. Lee."
After work, Matthew offered to give Rose a drive.
Rose seldom drove to the office. She usually went to work with Bright, so Matthew asked her to go to
No.8 Club with him.
No.8 Club was not the most high-end club in City H. Anyone could apply for a membership card if he
had money.
But some of the top clubs could only accept noble people to be their members. These clubs had strict
regulations on the membership system, so they would protect the privacy of the noble people and
made the members feel dignified.
Rose knew that Bright was a VVIP member of many clubs, and he was invited to join the club for free.
These clubs wanted to use Bright's influence to promote their images, which was a free advertisement.
Matthew and Rose went to No.8 Club together. Lily arrived early because she had asked for half a
day's leave, and dressed herself very beautiful and delicate.
She was wearing a red tube dress, with a pair of high-heeled shoes, which made her look tall and slim.
When she smiled, she gave full play of her charm.
Today she was the protagonist and she was gorgeous.
Rose, on the other hand, was wearing apricot shirts and black pants, looking smart and gentle, simple
but generous.
Rose, who was born beautiful, would outshine others even when she only wore light makeup.
Amy came over when she saw Rose and said, "Rose, Lily is way too far tonight. She can beat you,
anyway."
"Be careful of what you say." Rose felt that Amy began to blabber again.
"I'm just being honest." Amy would only listen to Rose. "Mr. Sue, what do you think?" Amy asked
Matthew.
"Just keep it between us." Matthew got a glass of champagne.
Today, Lily booked a large private room and held a birthday party. There were not only colleagues, but
also some friends and relatives Rose didn't know.
Lily was holding Ethan's arm to greet the crowd, but she just wanted to show off.
"Go and see what's good to eat." Rose felt hungry now.
Amy went to the buffet with Rose to get some fruit and cakes. She didn't want to join in with Lily.
In the center of the room, Lily made a speech of thanks and danced with Ethan.
They seemed like a good match.
Lily brought Ethan over and introduced Matthew, then Matthew made a phone call and went out.
Lily looked disdainfully at Rose, who was eating fruit.
"Honey, this is Ms. Linder, our Senior Designer." Lily said ironically.
Ethan looked at Rose, who was beautiful and refined. Her eyes were watery and affectionate, as
charming as twinkling stars.
"Ms. Linder is so beautiful. You must have a lot of suitors." Ethan looked at Rose with admiration.
"Dear, Ms. Linder is married." Lily shattered Ethan's fantasy.
Seeing that Ethan fixed his eyes on Rose, Lily felt uncomfortable, and she could not help tightening her
grip on Ethan's arm.
"Ms. Linder's married so young?" Ethan was surprised and felt a bit pity.
Rose just smiled. "I'm not young now."
Someone suddenly called behind Rose, "Rose."
Rose turned around and was met with a loud slap.
Rose was caught off guard by the unexpected slap. Her ears were buzzing and her face was tingling
with pain.
All the people present were attracted by this scene.
Amy supported Rose and said, "Who are you? How can you beat others at will? Are you crazy?"
"I'm Matthew's mother, and I'm here today to show you who Rose really is! It is she who shamelessly
seduced my son and broke his marriage to my future daughter-in-law!" Madam Sue said squarely, "A
slap is not enough!"
