"What?? Boss, I know you’re just blowing off steam!" Jones hastily stepped forward. "Boss, are you really tired after surgery on Phillip? Can I massage your legs?"
"Back off, dare you touch the boss’s legs? If the boss chops off your hands later, I won’t stop her!" Jack scolded, then turned his head with a grin, "Boss, how about I massage your shoulders? Loosen up
your muscles?"
"Dare to loosen up the boss’s muscles? Aren’t you afraid of being punched to death by the boss?"
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Jack and Jones looked at each other in an instant, had they been discovered? Or?
"Sweetie, are you asleep?"
It was Louisa’s voice outside the door. Had Louisa discovered sothing and knocked on the door on purpose?
"Not yet." The girl’s voice was gentler, but when she looked at her two subordinates, her tone was deliberately lowered. "Take the check and disappear from my sight in ten seconds."
"Boss."
Jack wanted to say sothing but heard Rosemary’s ruthless–voice: "Or I will confiscate your bonus."
Jack heard this, imdiately jumped off the balcony, "See you, boss!"
"Why won’t you wait for ?" Jones saw him run so fast, then turned his head to see the boss’s slightly squinting eyes with a warning light and hastily said, "Boss, I’m leaving right away."
"You have three seconds."
Jones heard this and rushed to the balcony. "But there are dogs down there; I’m scared to jump!"
"Sweetie, can I co in?" Louisa’s voice ca from outside the door.
Rosemary looked up. Jones had jumped down, but one hand was still holding the rail; he was obviously very afraid of the dog below.
Speaking of which, that dog was really fierce, barking at him nonstop.
It looked like she could only help him out.
"Boss."
Jones thought the boss was going to help him, but didn’t expect the boss to kick him straight down, he fell onto the grass, his butt was killing him! How could the boss treat him like this?
At this ti, the big dog saw him, barked wildly at him, and opened its sharp teeth, ready to bite him.
"Ah." Jones was scared and hurriedly ran away.
Rosemary saw him run far away, then opened the door and said, "Mom, are you not asleep yet?"
"I’m worried you’re hungry; I didn’t know you were having dinner with Roo tonight. Did you eat enough?" Louisa ca in with a tray and faintly heard so strange sounds. "Sweetie, did you hear
any sounds? Like a man being ’chased by a dog?".
There were n’s screams and dog barks. It sounded like a pretty miserable scene.
"No." Rosemary answered very calmly.
"Maybe I heard it wrong." Louisa put down the tray in her hand, and the beautifully made desserts appeared in front of her. "Eat quickly."
"Did you make this?" Rosemary was a bit surprised–how did her mother’s cooking skills beco so good? And these desserts looked delicious.
"The chef made it."
She was afraid that Rosemary wouldn’t be able to eat the food she made, so she asked the chef to make so.
"Eat quickly!" Louisa looked at her lovingly and said, "You just ca to this family; if there is anything you are not used to, you must tell , okay?" Rosemary took the fork handed over by her, "I got it."
"About you coming ho, your father and I have decided not to announce it for now."
Firstly, her grandparents were not in good health, and they were not ready to hear such important news.
Secondly, there were too many relatives in the family; if they knew about it, they would definitely co to see Rosemary in droves.
Thirdly, if they announced her identity, the dia would be following their daughter all the ti, her every move would attract attention, and people would be comnting on her, they were worried that
Rosemary would live in restraint, not at ease.
Louisa spoke of her worries: "Wait for a suitable ti, and then we will announce this news."
Rosemary didn’t expect her mother to talk to her about these things; she spoke lightly, "I don’t care about these."
Whether or not it was announced, whether or not the family’s relatives liked it, was not the most important thing. As long as the family was together, they were of one mind.
Louisa smiled contently at the well–behaved child before her, urging her to eat up. After she finished eating, they chatted a bit until Rosemary’s phone rang, and Louisa left with the tray.
"I’m ho" ca from Roo over the phone.
"You gave so many clothes, I can’t wear them all," Rosemary asked. "Can you return so?"
She really did have a lot of clothes; it’d be a waste not to wear them all! Better off selling them and making so dough to put towards dical research.
"No worries, you can wear them slowly," Roo answered affectionately. "Can I take you out tomorrow? Anywhere you want to go?"
"I have work."
Work? Roo was taken aback. "A sumr job?"
"Sort of."
"Did your parents agree?"
"Um" It was their company, after all.
"Where? I can drop you off."
"No need; it’s close to my place."
"Why do you want to work?" Roo was a bit heartbroken.
Was it because she was short on spending money?
But then again, he did give her a blank check for every surgery she perford; so it probably wasn’t about money.
"Just for fun; nothing else to do during the sumr."
Otherwise, she’d have no choice but to accept the money her parents transferred to her.
"You can co hang out at my place." Roo’s voice rang out again: "It’s fun here."
Rosemary was speechless.
Roo added in his magnetic voice, "You can do whatever you want. I can also take care of you."
"No need."
"Think it over." This was the first ti in his life that he’d personally recruited soone.
But Rosemary declined without a second thought, saying, "Thanks, but I already have a job." "Must you go?"
"Yep."
"Then co over and hang for a couple of days. If it’s not fun, co to my place."
Roo didn’t want her working a sumr job outside because it ant he wouldn’t see her during working hours.
She hadn’t really entered society yet and didn’t know how complicated it can be,
What if soone took advantage of her?
The next morning.
As soon as Attlee stepped through the company door, he noticed the secretary standing not far away,looking like he’d been waiting for quite a while.. Attlee was in a good mood this morning; he greeted the secretary with a grin and said, "Ben, you’re here early today."
"Mr. Harris, thank God you’re here!" Ben seed incredibly anxious, almost on the verge of tears."Big trouble! Several companies called today, saying they’re cutting ties with us!"
"Did the contract expire?"
"No."
"Then they’re not satisfied with the current profit sharing? That’s nothing; you can negotiate with them."
"They’re saying they’ll never work with us again! We’re on their blacklist!"
At his words, Attlee was stunned.
"Why?"
He was caught off guard by the sudden news: "Is it a price issue, or did they find a better partner?"
