Roo dropped her a text at 6 am, clearly, he hadn’t slept a wink.
Rosemary tapped the screen with her slender fingers, ’Ain’t I always with you?"
She patiently replied, "Get so shut–eye, we’ll catch up in a bit.
Unexpectedly, a few seconds after she sent the ssage, Roo gave her a ring
"Rose" Roo’s voice was magnetic, "Why are you up so early? Nightmares?"
Rosemary wasn’t sure if her childhood counted as a nightmare, "Haven’t you hit the hay yet?"
"Uh, I can’t catch any Z’s Roo’s voice was alluring. I miss you like crazy"
He kept replaying their every mont together, missing Rosemary’s face sothing fierce, so much so that he couldn’t sleep.
"Are you still sleepy?"
Rosemary said casually, "Nope, I’m wide awake"
After Rosemary cleaned up and changed, Roo’s ride was already parked at her doorstep.
As soon as Rosemary stepped out, he pulled her into a bear hug.
Hers fresh scent filled his nostrils, finally calming his longing.
"I miss you." He looked down to see the love bite from the previous night on her pale neck. He couldn’t
help but cradle her face, the one he’d been daydreaming about, and flashed a doting smile, "Morning."
"Morn."
"You look adorable when you’ve just woken up." Roo gently stroked her face, his smile even more indulgent.
On the terrace, Serena initially thought she was mistaken, but when she carefully looked through the binoculars, her expression couldn’t be described as anything other than shock!
It was truly Roo!
Roo personally ca to pick up Rosemary!
Not only did he open the car door for her, but he also protected her head, helped her fasten the seatbelt, and even gave her a tender morning kiss inside the car!
Serena couldn’t believe her eyes. They were together until after 11 PM last night, and now, it was not even 7 AM, and they were already together again!
Watching their car pull away, Serena was so mad she could feel her insides churning, and she stord off to sche with Martha.
By the ti Roo and Rosemary arrived, the sun was up, casting a golden glow on the horizon, it was picture-perfect.
"We’re a bit late," Roo said, his arm around Rosemary’s shoulder, "We’ll co earlier next ti."
"Uh–huh." Rosemary looked at the view, "Actually, this is beautiful too."
She never had the ti to appreciate nature, just standing here and watching now was enough.
Roo saw the sun shining on her fair face, he humd in agreent, "Indeed, it’s beautiful." So beautiful that he couldn’t resist giving her a peck.
The restaurant manager almost dropped his jaw when he saw them kissing in the sunlight. [What the heck was happening?!
Last ti they only held hands, now they were locking lips?
Weren’t things moving a tad too fast?!
After the kiss, Roo looked into her eyes and said tenderly, "In the future, you can share anything with , whether it’s happy or sad. I’m willing to listen."
Rosemary lifted her head and gazed at his sincere expression.
"You don’t have to bear everything on your own, you know?" Roo continued.
Rosemary seed to have never opened up to anyone, whether it was good or bad, even with Kelly Piper, it was just a few simple words. But now, seeing Roo’s caring gaze, she nodded, "Okay" She
would do her best to share her feelings.
Roo gently caressed her face, smiling indulgently, "Let’s go, we’ll have breakfast."
After breakfast, Rosemary arrived at the company, and amidst a pile of reports, she discovered new clues. Her slender fingers lightly tapped the desk as she pondered how many hidden secrets Oscar still
had that she had yet to uncover.
"Ms. Rose, Designer Molly wants to et you!" Dean’s voice echoed from outside the door.
"Co in"
When Molly entered, traces of tears were still evident in her eyes.
"Ms. Rose, good morning. These are my recent autumn designs."
Molly respectfully handed over the design drafts to Rosemary, a smile on her face.
But it was not hard to see that her smile was forced and even held a hint of sadness.
"Mr. Samual wanted to show you the drafts. He said you’re the real design master."
Rosemary looked at Molly’s swollen eyes, "Have you been crying?"
Molly shook her head, but couldn’t help but start sobbing lightly again.
"Sit down, take a mont to calm down."
Rosemary didn’t pressure her, instead, she handed her a tissue, allowing her to let out her feelings.
Molly’s tears fell drop by drop. She tried to control herself several tis, but her emotions got the better of her.
Dean outside the door had no clue what had happened, he shrugged in confusion.
He texted Rosemary: [I have no idea what’s up with Designer Molly. Should I ask?]
Rosemary replied calmly: "No need."
When Molly had cried herself out, Rosemary poured her a glass of water and placed it in front of her,
"Drink so water first."
"Ms. Rose." Molly didn’t expect Rosemary to pour her water personally. A stranger treated her so kindly, thinking of her own family/her emotions started to flare up again. Rosemary watched her sob and
asked calmly, "Is it about work?"
Molly shook her head.
"Family issues?"
Molly nodded.
Rosemary got the hint. Only family could hurt soone this deep.
At this, Molly started crying again. She really didn’t want to bring personal stuff into work, but every ti she thought about it, she felt so angry and wronged!
"I haven’t told my mom about this yet," Molly choked on her words, tears falling like rain.
Rosemary waited until she stopped crying before asking"Did your family do it?"
"Yes!" Molly recalled her heartless family mbers, and tears stread down her face. "In fact, my family also owns a clothing company," Molly wiped her tears and continued, "This company was
founded by my grandfather, and my father took over after his passing. But a few years ago, my father suddenly passed away in a car accident."
