Chapter 6 She attracted Romantic Interest

Rose met with David to discuss work for three days, and her outstanding performance made David see her in a new light.

“No wonder Miss Linder was appointed as the chief designer by Mr. Quinn. You are young and promising.” David had an outstanding appearance and outstanding work ability. “See you in City Y then.”

“Mr. Hank, you are welcome to visit and advise.” Rose shook hands politely with him.

“Miss Linder probably hasn’t relaxed for three days since coming to City J. I happened to have a cocktail party to attend tonight, and I was missing a female companion. How about Miss Linder join me and give me the opportunity to welcome you.” David smiled charmingly; his eyes filled with sincerity.

Rose only hesitated for a second, and then nodded. “Thank you, Mr. Hank.”

She was not a person who liked to join in the fun, but if she refused David’s invitation just after they reached an agreement would make her suspicious of using him to her benefit. She could only agree.

“It’s my honour.” David was personable and raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist. “There are still three hours before the party. Why don't we pick a dress first and then do the make up?”

“Then I’ll do what you say.” Rose chuckled lightly, her beautiful eyebrows stretched softly, making people extraordinarily comfortable.

Afterward, they proceeded with the preparation and arrived at the venue of the party – City J Intercontinental Garden Hotel – before seven.

HY Group had a great reputation. As soon as the vice president David Hank arrived at the scene, everyone greeted him and engaged in small talk. Rose’s appearance beside him made many City J upper classes quite curious.

Rose has never liked this kind of banquet where people of power sought to build connections and played up to each other. She took quietly beside Hank and smiled lightly.

After David had dealt with those people, he took her to the long buffet table and picked up a gold- rimmed white porcelain plate. “Not used to it?”

Rose also relaxed when she stayed away from the crowd. “It's fine.”

“You are probably quite hungry, right? Have some food first.” Hank picked up a small triangular mousse cake. The cake had a bright red cherry blossom on top. “Do you like this one?” He asked thoughtfully.

“I’ll help myself, Mr. Hank.”

Tao said thoughtfully, "Do you like this?" "Mr. Hank, I can do it myself." Rose was a little “overwhelmed” and reached out to take the plate.

“Miss Linder, why don’t I call you Rose, and you can call me David.” David smiled slightly with his eyes flickering brightly.

Rose nodded, unable to refuse.

“Just give me the chance to serve a beauty.” David also picked up some fruits before handing the plate to Rose.

“Thank you.” Rose took the plate and saw him grab a glass of red wine while also handing a glass of Champaign to her.

They chatted for a while before there was a commotion by the door. Bright Lee came.

He still wore a classic yet simple white shirt and black suit. He was tall with a burgundy tie and a silk pocket square, his charming facial features were further enhanced.

The man’s eyes lifted slightly. His deep eyes were dark and sharp, calm like a mirror, but deep like the sea.

Rose was a few meters away from him, but still couldn't ignore his oppressive force. She frowned lightly. All she wanted to do was hide.

But David’s lazy voice rang in her ears. “He is the president of HY Group, Bright Lee. I will introduce you to him later.”

“No…it’s fine.” Rose lowered her thick long eyelashes as naturally as possible to conceal her panic.

“Are you afraid of him?” David raised his eyebrows lightly.

Rose smiled and shook her head, taking a bite of the mousse cake before replying slowly. “I met Mr. Lee this morning.”

“Oh... he is just pretending, with a face as cold as an iceberg, trying to act cool. He thinks he’s handsome, but he doesn’t know there are more people in the company with a crush on me than on him.” David was quite proud.

While they chatted, Bright had already slowly walked over with a wine glass. His appeared graceful and elegant.

Rose watched him walking step by step. Her eyes became wide open, and her heart resisted in every possible way.

“Miss Linder, we meet again.” Bright’s tone was as sweet as a magnetic and calm cello.

“Mr. Lee, hello.”

Why was she greeting him as if he was old?

Even if Rose narrowed her gaze, she could still feel his scrutinizing gaze, making her very uncomfortable.

“Mr. Hank, how about you guys chat and I'll go out to get some air.” As soon as he came, she felt suffocated.

After she finished speaking, her cell phone rang, and the only person who would call her at this time was her baby girl Doris.

And when the call came, Rose heaved a sigh of relief. “Sorry, I'm going to answer a call.”

“Wait Rose.” David stopped her. “You have some mousse on the corner of your lips.”

He picked up a tissue and tried to wipe it off for her, but Rose reached out and pinched the tissue. “No, it’s fine, I will do it myself.”

David let go and Rose quickly wiped off the mousse, and nodded with a smile before turning away. Today, Rose wore a nude-colored dress, dotted with shiny gold threads. The gauze was soft like water and clouds. Under the warm light, she was beautiful like a fairy.

David was in a white suit, elegant and confident, inexplicably matching Rose.

“You brought her to this banquet...you want to chase her?” Bright slowly retracted his gaze from Rose’s back, and his gaze fell on David’s face.

“Men naturally go after fair ladies. You know my old man has been urging me to get a girlfriend and get married. Doesn’t hurt to try.” David took a sip of the wine, showing signs of helplessness.

“Aren’t you afraid that she has a boyfriend or is already married?” Bright put one hand in his trouser pocket elegantly and gently shook the wine in his other hand while asking casually.novelbin

“She is so young and cares so much about work. She definitely doesn't.” David believed he was right in his guts. “A woman with a boyfriend or husband won’t work this hard. Plus, she never dated these years. Isn't it an obvious sign of being single?”

“Good luck, then.” Bright stretched out and patted his shoulder. He smiled, but with a trace of playfulness.

“Cheers!” David clinked his glass against Bright’s.

Bright drank the wine in the glass and placed it down. He then turned and left.

He pulled his thin lips as he walked. He underestimated how charming Mrs. Lee, his wife in name only, was that she attracted David’s romantic interest.

She was single?

That would happen after they divorce three months later.

Before that, she was his – Bright Lee’s – legal wife.

Since she hinted to David that she was alone, was she thinking about finding someone else after the divorce?

This woman appeared innocent, yet her nature was hard-to-get?

Should he play his role as her husband and do his duty to remind her that she was married...
