Maria had never seen soone so shaless—standing on the brink of doom and yet so calm.
A habitual offender for sure!
The security guards hadn’t expected her to be so tricky to catch, so they pulled out their tasers and switched them on.
When Maria saw that the taser missed Rosemary and hit the couch instead, she scread, "That sofa is a custom-made piece, ordered by Mr. McMillian himself! There’s only one in the world! Be careful!"
The security guards took aim at Rosemary again, tasers falling in unison. But instead of hitting her, they shattered the coffee table.
"Are you guys blind?!" Maria was furious. "She’s right there, you idiots!"
At that mont, Maria spotted a glass nearby, picked it up, and hurled it towards Rosemary.
Rosemary noticed—this cup was a gift she had given to Roo. If it broke, these people were in deep trouble.
As Rosemary reached out to catch the glass, the security guards seized the opportunity and swung their tasers toward her hand.
She quickly retracted her hand, and the glass fell from the air and shattered on the floor.
"She’s so agile. She must be a spy from another company. We need to capture her, no matter what it takes."
After saying this, Maria sent out a WhatsApp ssage, summoning more security guards.
The entire security force of the company was on the move, heading towards the CEO’s office.
Rosemary did not want to harm innocent people, but as more and more rushed in, the office turned into a chaotic ss.
This commotion alerted Carl, who imdiately reported to Roo. The ongoing business eting was abruptly ended, and Roo rushed to his office.
"What do you guys think you’re doing? Stop it!"
Roo’s voice was filled with anger.
As he entered, he saw the office in a state of disarray, with dozens of security guards surrounding Rosemary—cornering his girl.
Given Rosemary’s agility, these people were no match for her. She was avoiding their attacks, not wanting to harm innocent people.
"Are you hurt?" Roo asked as he rushed to her side, pulling her into his arms. "Did they touch you?"
"This is Mr. McMillian’s office. Who allowed you to barge in?" Carl reprimanded, making the security guards take several steps back, hanging their heads in sha.
They couldn’t believe what was happening. Even Maria was wide-eyed, finding the scene before her hard to believe.
It seed like Roo cared a lot about this girl. Could they possibly know each other?
"What’s going on?" Roo asked the girl in his arms, worried that she might be scared.
Maria decided to strike first. "Mr. McMillian, I found her sneaking around and opening your cabinet, and even stealing your phone. That’s why I called the security."
"Did I ask you?" Roo’s eyes were sharp, but they softened when he looked at the girl in his arms. "Is that true?"
He would only trust what Rosemary said.
"Um." Rosemary admitted, "I wanted to put the snacks on the coffee table into the cabinet when she walked in."
"Didn’t you tell her about us?"
"I did. She didn’t believe ."
Roo then turned to Maria. "My fiancée moving freely in my office. Is there a problem with that?"
Maria was taken aback at these words.
The security guards were pale as ghosts, realizing they’d stirred up a hornet’s nest.
"I gave her my phone."
Hearing this, everyone beca even more anxious.
"Who let you in?" Roo turned to Maria. "Did you enter this room with my fiancée’s permission?"
"Mr. McMillian, I didn’t know she was your fiancée." Although Maria was frightened, she was mostly indignant.
Why should this girl be favored by Mr. McMillian? Not only did he pamper her, but he also entrusted her with checking on his office.
What rit did she have to deserve such special treatnt from Mr. McMillian?
"You just barged in without knowing the full story." Roo was visibly angry.
The security guards hastily bowed and apologized collectively. The head of security also rushed to explain.
"We apologize, Mr. McMillian. We were misguided by Ms. Maria’s words, thinking that there really was a thief stealing company secrets. If we had known she was your fiancée, we wouldn’t have dared to lay a finger on her."
"Shouldn’t you have reported this to before taking any action, so I could report to Mr. McMillian? If it weren’t for Ms. Rose’s quick reflexes, who knows what harm you could have done to her!" Carl scolded them.
"Carl, we were blind to not recognize Ms. Rose. We apologize, it’s our fault." The security guards promptly apologized to Rosemary.
"Let it be," Rosemary said.
As soon as she spoke, Roo defended her. "How can we just let it be? You’ve been wronged so much."
Before he could finish his sentence, Carl spotted so familiar fragnts on the floor. Picking them up, he thought to himself: Oh no, this was really bad.
"Mr. McMillian." Carl handed over the fragnts, silently sympathizing with the group.
Roo recognized the pieces as the remains of the cup Rosemary had given him—now shattered.
"Don’t worry," Rosemary soothed.
"Who did this?" Roo’s voice was filled with rage. "Who broke it?"
All the security guards were frightened, their eyes turning to Maria.
Maria was even more terrified. "I saw these guards being clumsy—not only did they fail to catch the thief, but they also broke your table and vases. In my haste to help, I threw a cup."
Her words almost choked Carl. "Threw a cup at Ms. Rose? She certainly has so nerve."
Upon hearing this, Roo instinctively asked the girl in his arms, "Where did it hit you? Are you injured? Let see."
"I’m fine," Rosemary looked up and said. "I was planning on catching it."
Although she didn’t finish her sentence, Roo had already guessed what had happened. It must have been chaotic, with people attacking her from all directions, and she couldn’t catch the cup in ti.
"Mr. McMillian, is this cup very important? I mistook her as a thief and wanted to help catch her. I’m truly sorry. Can I buy you a new one to make up for it?"
"Can the one you buy match the one she bought?" Roo’s anger peaked. "You still haven’t explained why you ca in here in the first place."
Maria glanced at a lunch box on the side.
The lunch box was pink, with several red hearts on the lid.
"Do you usually bring food for Mr. McMillian?" Carl suddenly realized. "Mr. McMillian, before you co to work every day, there are always so lunch boxes, love letters, gifts, etc., outside your office."
Upon hearing this, Roo imdiately reassured the girl in his arms, "I didn’t accept them."
"Are there many?" Rosemary asked Carl with interest.
