Chapter 42
Rosalynn let out a sarcastic laugh, not sure what she was feeling.
When Wayne stepped out of the elevator and saw Rosalynn, he felt inexplicably nervous and panicked.
“Leave the project stuff to Jacob and come back to H City with me.”
Rosalynn reached out, took back her phone, and then looked up at Wayne. Her beautiful eyes were clear, devoid of any emotions.
“No.”
Just as she was about to take her hand back, Wayne grabbed it.
“You’ve already got a death threat!”
“I’m not afraid,” Rosalynn said calmly. “If I can’t handle this little thing, how can I be an CEO?”
“Rosa…”
“Don’t call me that!” Rosalynn shook off Wayne’s hand.
Wayne froze.
“What are you going to do in H City? You want me to go with you?” Rosalynn asked.
Wayne looked deeply into her eyes, then said coldly, “You really don’t know what’s good for you.”
With that, Wayne turned and left in big strides.
Rosalynn stood there, thinking, this should be the last time, right? Wayne won’t bother her anymore, right?
The restaurant Jacob had found was right next to the hotel.
He was already there.
Jacob was shocked to find out that Wayne was in Q City and with Rosalynn.
He knew that Ms. Rosso had already arrived in H City, preparing for their engagement
party.
They had even arranged media coverage for the upcoming official announcement.
As Jacob was thinking, Rosalynn arrived.
Jacob glanced behind her, asking, “Where’s Wayne?”
“He’s gone back to H City.” Rosalynn took out her laptop.
“I’ve already ordered, let’s eat first,” Jacob waved his hand.
Rosalynn’s face looked really unhealthy, sickly even.
“Forgive me for being nosy, but were you two…back together?” Jacob asked cautiously.
Rosalynn looked at him, “Jacob, that’s a strange question. When have I ever been with Wayne? How could we get back together?”
Jacob: “…”
Secretary Tesdal had become quite sharp, huh?
“Secretary Tesdal, I admire you a lot,” Jacob poured Rosalynn a cup of coffee. “Whether it’s Prodigy Inc.’s affairs or the overall planning of this project, I’ve seen it all. You’re very capable.”
“Just get to the point, why beat around the bush?”
Jacob laughed, having been called out.
“Okay then, I’ll be straightforward,” Jacob looked at Rosalynn. “Stop getting involved with Wayne. The union of the Silverman family and the Rosso family involves massive interests. Both families value it greatly…”
“Jacob, you’re overestimating me,” Rosalynn smiled bitterly. “I’ve been awake and aware for the past five years. What about you, have you been confused? I’m just Olivia’s substitute. As you said, the alliance between Wayne and the Rosso family holds a massive interest. So why do you think Wayne would destroy that for me?”
“Even if he hasn’t thought about it, others might still be wary of your presence,” Jacob explained concisely.
Rosalynn looked down, conceding as Jacob had a point.
She didn’t know much about Ms. Rosso, but what woman could accept her husband entangling with another woman outside?
Even if Ms. Rosso could tolerate it, could the Rosso family?
“I’ll keep that in mind,” Rosalynn replied indifferently.
It seemed that after the business trip, she would have to leave H City.
After dinner.
Rosalynn and Jacob discussed work.
Most of the time, it was Jacob talking.
Rosalynn listened attentively and took down many notes,
“I heard you got a death threat?” Jacob asked near the end of their conversation. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Rosalynn nodded, “I don’t think there’s a need for us to meet with Sawyer anymore. Just call him and let’s go to the site directly tomorrow.”
