"Sure, the guy ssed up first by using so dodgy ingredients for a quick buck, but hey, no one got hurt, right? And the company made it up to them. Can’t you let him off the hook just this once?"
Rosemary asked in a slow, deliberate tone, "And how do I do that?"
"Maybe just let bygones be bygones; ask him to provide free als for the employees for half a year or a year. Don’t worry, I’ll keep a tight leash on the ingredient quality; he won’t be able to pull a fast one."
"So, this happened because you dropped the ball on your oversight?" Rosemary’s gaze held him in place, a slight pressure in her eyes. "Mr. Oscar, don’t you think you bear so responsibility?"
"Yes, I do bear so responsibility." Oscar lowered his head. If there were any other ways, he wouldn’t have co to ask this lady for help.
"If you don’t mind the employees eating food with additives, why don’t you do the sa? Eat it for a year, and then we can talk."
"Ms. Rose, are you pulling my leg?" Oscar tried to smile charmingly and say, "In a year, my relative will be eating prison food."
"Isn’t prison food better than food with additives? At least it’s healthier."
Oscar was completely at a loss for words.
"As the vice president of the company, you didn’t reflect on your actions imdiately after the incident, nor did you think about how to compensate the employees. Instead, you defended your relative. I really don’t know where you get the nerve to discuss this with . If you’re hoping for to deal with this privately, I’m sorry, but I can’t." Hearing Rosemary’s firm refusal, Oscar felt his heart sink. But considering
that his relative’s problem might affect him, he had to plow ahead.
"Ms. Rose, our families are close. His mother is eighty–nine this year, and she was devastated to hear that he was arrested. She begged to help him. His family also ca to . I was really at my
wits’ end, and that’s why I ca to you, mainly because we couldn’t bear to see him suffer."
"And you can bear to see your employees suffer?" Rosemary asked, lifting her eyes,
"There’s no room for negotiation on this, Mr. Oscar. You should consider your own position. Dave is your relative, and with what happened, the headquarters will definitely investigate thoroughly."
Upon hearing this, Oscar’s heart sank completely. His figure, previously firm, now slouched as he walked away in defeat.
Rosemary, nibbling on a dessert Roo had bought, worked a little before knocking off.
Night fell.
Roo took her out for a candlelit dinner. He seed to have a lot on his mind, but in the end, he didn’t say a word and just ate quietly.
"Do you have sothing you want to say to ?" Rosemary asked, puzzled by his hesitation.
"Do you not like the bracelet?" Roo looked into Rosemary’s beautiful eyes, seemingly disappointed.
"Or do you not like ?"
Rosemary: "What?!"
"Have I been bothering you too much lately? Is that why you’re annoyed?" Roo picked up a hot towel and gently wiped away the sauce at the corner of her mouth, his eyes. warm and eager as he
waited for her answer.
Only then did Rosemary realize she had forgotten to wear the bracelet on her wrist.
"If you don’t like , I’ll try even harder to win your heart. Just give a little more ti, okay? If you don’t like the bracelet, I can design another one for you."
"You designed the bracelet?" Rosemary asked, surprised.
But to Roo, this was no big deal. He had had a knack for design since he was a kid. His friends would often say, If he devoted himself to design, he would beco a legend in the industry!
His design talent once caused quite a stir internationally.
"Yes." Roo looked into her eyes, his expression serious and solemn. "Is it about the bracelet, or is it about ? If it’s both, I’ll rectify them all."
Rosemary gave a clear and radiant smile: "The bracelet is fine; I love it. I took it off when I went to wash my hands after I accidentally spilled so juice on it this afternoon, then I forgot to put it back on."
So this dude thought she wasn’t into him anymore, so he’d been walking on eggshells around her?
"What about ?" Roo looked at her seriously and caringly and asked, "Do you like ?"
"You’re alright." Rosemary gave a small laugh and said, "Can we eat now?"
Roo tenderly stroked her face; the gloomy atmosphere from before disappeared in an instant, replaced by sweetness and happiness.
Rose said he was alright.
That ant he was doing a pretty good job.
He grinned and happily began to feed her.
"I can eat by myself."
"Do you want to feed you with a spoon or with," Roo leaned in and lightly kissed her lips, as if hinting at sothing.
"You" This guy was causing trouble again!
After they finished their al, Roo dropped her off at her company, got out of the car, and opened the door for her, saying, "I’ll go up with you."
"The company operates 24/7"
If he went up, he might be seen by people of the production departnt.
Seeing Roo’s disappointnt, Rosemary said helplessly, "You wait here; I’ll be right back after grabbing my bracelet."
"Then give a hug first."
"Hug , and I’ll let you go." Roo opened his arms, asking for a hug like a child.
She thought it would just be a light touch, but Roo’s arms wrapped tightly around her. "When are you going to announce our relationship?"
"Huh?"
"When can people know that I’m your fiance?"
Rosemary was speechless. "Does it matter?"
"It matters." Roo held her tightly and asked, "Has anyone in the company been hitting on you?"
Rosemary found it amusing. She had been stirring up so much trouble these past few days that not only n but even won didn’t dare approach her.
"No."
"I like that." Roo took a deep breath of her scent and said, "I really like it. You’re already my fiancee; you need to keep a distance from others. Okay?"
"I got it; I need to go now."
She entered the company, punched in the office code, walked in, and her bracelet was still quietly lying on the desk.
Thinking about what he said tonight, Rosemary felt warm inside.
To avoid keeping him waiting, Rosemary put on the bracelet and left the office. Just as she was about to get on the elevator, she heard a voice from the stairwell.
It sounded like an argunt with a tone of complaint.
Rosemary walked over quietly, opened the stairwell door, and realized the sound was coming from a few floors below.
Because of the echo in the stairwell, the sound was quite loud.
