Rose didn't dwell on it. When she arrived at the company, she was surprised to find that the office was now fully occupied with people. Everyone appeared to be handling their tasks efficiently.She thought she might be having a hallucination. Just a few days ago, there were only five people in the entire company, including herself. Despite putting out recruitment notices, no one had applied for the positions. Now, it was a completely different situation."Good morning, Ms. Shaffer."The lovely receptionist at the front desk greeted her with a smile. Rose checked the company's sign once again to confirm that it was truly her company.Then, she responded with a smile, "Good morning."As she walked toward her office, everyone she met greeted her with smiles and warm greetings.When she entered her office, she immediately summoned William to inquire, "What's going on here?"William was just as baffled as he replied, "I don't know how this happened, but this morning, a large number

In preparation for entertaining Miles that evening, Rose returned to Zenwood Gardens early to prepare dinner. As soon as she entered, she was greeted by a strong aroma of food. The dining table was filled with dishes that she loved, both visually appealing and delicious."This ..."She began to wonder if she had walked into the wrong house. Before she could make her exit to confirm, her star escort husband emerged from the kitchen."You're back early today. Just in time for the last dish. Wash your hands, and we can have dinner," Jonathan said while carrying a plate of salad. He was wearing an apron, resembling a family cook. His handsome face was undeniably charming even in this attire, which added a touch of authenticity to his presence.Rose was briefly stunned. She scanned the table with amazement and asked, "Did you make this?""Why don't you taste it and see if it suits your palate?" It wasn't a problem for her to think he had made the dishes."Wow … I didn't expect

"Ms. Shaffer, I have some sudden matters to attend to today and can't make it."Miles glanced at the several cars around him, his heart filled with frustration. After saying this, he promptly hung up the phone. Rose was a bit bewildered. What could have happened to him?On the side, Jonathan had already headed to the entrance, ready to change his shoes and leave. He could tell from Rose's expression that Miles wouldn't be coming.However, he still had to put on a facade."Let's go!" he urged.Rose lowered her eyes and said, "No need to go; Mr. Young said he has some sudden matters and can't make it.""Can't make it? Well ... that's a shame. I was looking forward to meeting him," Jonathan sighed in disappointment.He looked at the table full of dishes and asked, "How about we eat first?""Sure," Rose reluctantly agreed.She was indeed feeling a bit hungry. The dishes on the table were as delicious as those prepared by a top chef.When she thought about the pitiful-looking eggs

"I have something to tell you as well," Jonathan said as he fixed his eager gaze upon her causing her cheeks to blush slightly.Rose averted her gaze from his intense stare and focused on his pants leg. "You go first.""First, close your eyes," he said, wanting to surprise her.She furrowed her brows, unsure of his intentions but closed her eyes nonetheless. After a while of silence, her star escort husband suddenly took her hand.Just as she was about to open her eyes, he warned, "Don't open your eyes."Soon, she felt something cool wrapped around her wrist. With years of knowledge about jewelry, she recognized it as a bracelet. He had given her a bracelet?Her mind momentarily went blank, and she couldn't fathom what he was up to. Then, her star escort husband's low, captivating voice sounded in her ear, "My grandmother used to say that if I meet someone I like, I should give her this. Rose, I'm giving it to you now."Rose's head was momentarily empty, but she remembered t

As Anastasia saw the name of the person Jonathan was calling, she immediately knew who was on the other end of the call. She had never seen such a passionate expression on his face.Jonathan promptly drove back to Zenwood Gardens. Anastasia wanted to follow him but stopped in her tracks. In the hotel lobby, she gazed blankly in the direction he had disappeared. After all, had she arrived too late? She touched the bruise on her cheek. She had come to Aquastead to participate in the National Jewelry Design Award. Just an hour before she was supposed to leave, Anthony, who was drunk, found her and began to harass her. In their altercation, he ended up striking her. She deeply regretted her actions. If it hadn't been for everyone's belief that Jonathan would fail in the power struggle within the Finches, she wouldn't have turned to someone else.If she had stayed steadfastly by his side back then, she would be Mrs. Finch by now. She wouldn't have had to go through the trouble of se
