Ch. 141..145: Rebirth_ Dancing In My Destiny Chapter 141-145
Chapter 141: Dinner (3)
Soon they finished their dinner and moved to the lounge area in the room. A black leather sofa is set in the corner near the huge glass window with the yellow sea view. The lights around the lounge were dim, so Rose could see the scenery outside.
She can see the lonely moon hanging above the dark sky, reflecting silver light on the dark sea surface. It looks so beautiful and calms her mind just by looking at the stunning view lying before her eyes.
She didn’t remember how long she stared at the moon’s reflection. She was too immersed till she didn’t hear someone asking her.
"Wifey!?"
Rose snapped out when she heard Evan’s voice tickling her ear. She also could feel Evan’s hand rubbing her back. She immediately turned to look at him. Rose was surprised as Evan’s face was very close to her that their lips almost touched. She froze. In a short time, she pulled herself to make a distance between them. Her heart was beating wildly.
"W-What is E-Evan?" Rose’s eyes blink several times, trying to adjust her shock. She saw Evan pull his head and sit as usual.
"Sean, ask you!" He casually said as he took his drink.
"Rose, may I ask you about something?" Having seen her face somewhere, Sean finally had a chance to ask Rose about his curiosity.
Sean almost cracked his brain just to remember her. But still, he can’t, as if those memories are deleted from his brain. He completely forgot when and where he saw this girl.
Now, his eyes meet with Rose’s beautiful hazel eyes. It mesmerized him for a moment.
"Yes..." Rose looks at Sean in surprise because this man finally talks to her again. After dinner, this man seems to avoid talking to her and only talks to Evan.
"Have you ever been to North City? I think I ever saw you there...."
Rose was surprised to hear Sean’s question. As long as she lived in her two lives, she never visited North City, the military base of this country.
How can Sean say he ever saw her there?
"What the hell Brother Sean! Why do you use that pickup line for my fiance?" Evan signed tiredly, hearing Sean’s words.
What Evan was afraid of finally happened, this man was attracted to her fiance! Immediately Evan felt uneasy. They can’t stay here for too long. The past affair buried at the bottom of his heart slowly appeared.
"WHAT!? Who is trying to pick up a line here? Mind your words, Evan!" Sean was shocked, looking at how annoyed Evan was. "Can you throw that thought away? Rose is my sister-in-law, alright!"
Evan listens in silence, but his sharp gaze is like a fierce slap into Sean’s face.
Sean could only take a deep sigh facing this stubborn young man, "You misunderstood what I mean, Evan. I ask her because I mean it. I saw someone similar to her in North City. I’m not making this up!" He couldn’t believe Evan was so jealous of him!
Rose was shocked to hear their conversation. Pickup lines? What does that mean? She was confused seeing these two men as if they were fighting with their sharp gazes. Made her a little worried that the two would be fighting.
Not wanting to make this two-man fight, Rose quickly answered Sean, "In my entire life, I have never visited that city. So, maybe you see a different person...." Rose shifts her gaze to Evan as she places her hand on his arm, "Evan, don’t be angry, huh!? Sean only asks."
Evan snapped out after Rose distracted his staring contest with Sean. But, deep down in his heart, he is still annoyed. He slowly turns his angry gaze to Rose, and immediately his gentle-looking face frames his face as he smiles at her.
The entire scene was witnessed by Sean. He could only shake his head in disbelief at what he had just witnessed. Evan seemed to want to murder him with his sharp gaze a second ago. But, as soon as he saw Rose, his murder-looking eyes turned into gentle and loving ones.
Sean was amazed by Rose, who could make this furious man subdue instantly. Unbelievable!
"Wifey, let’s go back to the hotel. You look tired, don’t you?" Evan stood up as he pulled Rose to stand so close to him. After making sure the girl stands up, he firmly places his hand on her slim waist before he looks at Sean, who is still sitting in his place, staring at them.
"Brothers, we will go now. See you in the Capital...." Evan said, then took Rose’s hand. Then, he silently walked fast to the door.
Rose dashed, following Evan’s wide steps in front of her. She didn’t know why Evan’s mood had suddenly changed drastically. He left the VIP room without giving her a chance to say goodbye to Sean, her savior. While she walked following him, her mind suddenly thought of something.
Is he jealous of Sean? How could he be jealous of his cousin? Gosh, this man!
Sean stared intently at the door until Evan and Rose’s backs were out of sight.
He deeply sighed as he stood motionless from his seat and stood to the glass wall. His vision looks at the full moon in the sky. His mind was too frantic right now. Even though he was annoyed with Evan for accusing him like that, he wasn’t mad at him. He couldn’t be mad at him.
But... What made Sean feel uneasy was the memory of Rose’s face that he had seen before seemed to assault his mind. Sean tries to remember when and where he saw that face before, but he can’t remember.
Was Rose the woman he had a crush on? No. Impossible!
If she really was the woman he had a crush on, how could he forget her so quickly?
Sean was sure Rose had nothing to do with him but with someone he knew. And he happened to see her face.
But, who? Who is the one who knows Rose?
After a few moments in silence, Sean groans as he rubs his nape, unable to recall his memories.
Chapter 142: I Will Never Leave You!
The black Maybach car drove fast through the night to the Dream Hotel. No one speaks. Evan coldly looked at the road in front of him. Rose didn’t know what to say to start a conversation because suddenly, Evan was acting differently than usual.
It was the first time Rose had witnessed this side of Evan since they had been dating. It felt strange, making her feel awkward to ask him. Worried, his mood will get worse.
She can guess this man is jealous of Sean. But it felt like his jealousy was too much. He shut his surroundings and didn’t want to talk to anyone, including her.
After a few minutes in silence...
Rose glanced at Evan again and saw that his expression was unchanged. It’s a no expression at all. Even the Madame Tussauds museum statue has a more visible emotion than his. His eyes were fixed on the road ahead. The cold aura that radiated from his body made the temperature in the car drop to zero degrees. She could see his hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly that his knuckles were visible.
The Maybach he drives speeding down an empty street. Rose didn’t realize they were the last customers to leave the restaurant. Because when they go downstairs, she can’t see any other customers; the lights are already dim, and the street is now empty.
After some time... Rose was unable to see his cold expression last like an eternity. She finally said what was on her mind.
"Hubby..." She uses her best seductive voice to lure this icy man to come out from his icy cave. Rose smiled in her heart when she saw Evan turn his gaze at her with his curious-looking eyes. "Are you jealous?" Evan’s silence made Rose believe that he was really jealous.
Geez!
Rose smiled, seeing Evan’s side when he was jealous like this. He looks adorable. But she can’t stand if this man is silent and exudes a cold aura.
"Evan..." Rose called him again.
"Hubby!"
"I will not call you Hubby if you do not smile and look at me!" Rose pouted at him, trying to make her trap. In her heart, she was laughing, happy to be able to tease him.
"I’m not jealous. How could I be jealous!? I don’t even know what jealousy is?...." Evan said in his serious tone.
"Well, I was just guessing." Rose knew that Evan wouldn’t admit it. "It’s all because you’ve been ignoring me ever since. Hubby, you don’t need to be jealous of anyone. My heart will never move to another man. I will stay beside you forever, as long as you want me...."
She will not repeat her past life devoted to her husband, and the man stabbed her in the back. In this life, if Evan’s heart moves to someone else. She would just leave him and will never beg for his love. She would try to forget him and move on. Her biggest priority now is her and her mother’s happiness. As for Evan, she will think of it as a bonus from god or maybe a trial.
But one thing she firmly believes; she will keep her heart for this man. As long as Evan did the same.
"I will never leave you, Rose Wilson!" Evan’s sincere voice is like a melody string in Rose’s ear. She was touched and felt a warm feeling enveloping her heart.
"I know, Evan!" Rose smiles when their eyes meet. She can see the sincerity in his eyes.
When their car stopped at the hotel’s main door, they immediately got off and headed to their suite. Instantly Rose’s body stiffened when she realized this was their engagement night. Sure this man will use everything to touch her, right?
Blushing to just think about that, Rose runs past Evan and goes straight to the bathroom. Leaving Evan, who was immediately worried about seeing her.
"Everything is alright, wifey?" Evan shouted at the bathroom door.
"I’m fine!" Rose splashed her face with cold water. She cursed her fragile heart for being so weak when she thought about romance.
Rose didn’t know how long she was in the bathroom. She finally came out after she had cleaned her body. Her mind had thought usual, unlike before many steamy things she thought about.
Nothing will happen tonight! She is still on period. Evan promised he would never consummate her before they officially became husband and wife.
She is still wearing a white bathrobe when she comes out of the bathroom. She didn’t find Evan in the bedroom, and the room had turned dim. Only the yellow light on the nightstand is still on.
Just before Rose wanted to use her short set of maroon pajamas, she heard the door open. Her eyes widened in shock when she saw Evan, who had also finished bathing, standing near the door, looking sharply at her almost naked body.
She wrapped her robe again in a hurry and walked fast to the bathroom while cursing herself because she had let her guard down.
"You need help?" Rose steps halt when she hears Evan’s voice right behind her.
"Why is this man already standing behind?" Rose murmurs to herself.
Rose turns, and her head only bumps into his sturdy chest. She stepped back to make a distance between them while her heart started to beat a little faster. But, Evan didn’t give her a room to move away. He stepped forward and lowered his head closer to her face. Again, Rose backed away slowly until her back finally hit the wall. Her heartbeat tormented her like there is a party celebrating this situation inside her.
"E-Evan...what do you want to do?" She looks him in the eyes.
"What do you think?"
Evan faces too close to Rose til she can feel his breath tickle her face making her whole body feel warm like she had just finished a bottle of wine alone.
Wait!
Now, she can only wait for this man to take action against her. She slowly closed her eyes, waiting for this man to kiss her or...
Chapter 143: I Can Feel Your Pain
Now, Rose can only wait for this man to take action against her. She slowly closed her eyes, waiting for this man to kiss her or...
But after waiting for a while, like an eternity... nothing happened. Instead, Rose hears Evan’s calm voice near her ear, "My pretty wifey, go use your pajamas, or you will catch a cold!" Then she can feel Evan’s warm lips landing on her forehead.
Rose was dumbfounded. How could this man just let her go? Was he really not tempted after seeing her half-naked body?
She hurriedly marched to the bathroom, embarrassed to expect something she really wanted.
"Don’t take too long, Wifey! It’s already midnight... we need to sleep early." The corner of Evan’s lips curled up to form a gentle smile looking at his little rabbit, who walked fast to the bathroom.
When Rose came out of the bathroom, she saw Evan was already sleeping under the blanket. A wry smile framed her face. This man really had no intention of touching her. She sighs deeply as she slowly walks to the bed and stops at Evan’s side.
Rose sat beside the bed and looked at him silently. The worry and jealousy that had graced Evan’s face since they were at the restaurant were now no trace. His face looks so calm and handsome as always.
She was uncertain what had made this man overreact with Sean. Seeing Evan want to kill Sean with his sharp gaze the entire night made her concerned. Was it because something in the past stirred up Evan’s temper when Sean seemed attracted to her? She does not know and does not want to know. She only hoped her presence didn’t drag Evan and Sean’s friendship into trouble.
Still watching Evan’s calm face, Rose’s eyes landed on his nose. Her heart started to beat faster than usual... This is not right! This is not what she is expecting. When she had not managed to calm her heart, suddenly, her hand slowly raised to touch his sharp nose. It’s as if her hands are moving independently without her brain’s command. Damn! She paused right a few inches before her hand touched his nose.
"Stop, Rose! Don’t do it! Or you will have trouble waking up this sleeping lion...." Trying to draw back her senses, she scolded herself in her mind. It was a success, but another problem hit her.
Rose’s eyes go down to look at his seductive lips. Her fragile heart rumbles like crazy. Her hands that were hanging in the air immediately clenched tightly, trying to stop herself from kissing the man’s lips.
But she is just an ordinary woman who has a desire to consume this hot man before her eyes. Slowly Rose’s head drew closer to Evan’s sleeping face, and without hesitation, she kissed his lips gently. It was fast enough to make her feel hot like she had just entered the sauna room with a high temperature.
Rose stood up as her hand touched her warm, shaking lips. With quick steps, she circled the bed and climbed to her sleeping side. Slowly got into the same blanket Evan was wearing. She lay beside him with her back facing him as she tried to calm her loud heartbeat and cool her body heat.
A few moments later, Evan’s eyelashes slightly sway before slowly opening. His deep blue sea eyes spark while looking at the ceiling above as a faint smile frames his calm face. He was too happy to know his beloved woman took the initiative to kiss him. The kiss was fast, but the feeling still lingers now.
Evan didn’t know how often he tried to spell his mind to not touch this girl. He endured his lust. He will stick to his promise to only consume her when they are officially married.
In the middle of the night, when everyone is fast asleep...
Rose’s body curves into an arc with her chin almost touching her knees. She felt the pain shoot through her lower abdomen. Slowly she opens her eyes, but to her surprise, the room still looks dim, and Evan sleeps beside her.
She bit inside of her lips to keep her from making any sound, worried that Evan would wake up. After a few minutes of enduring the pain in silence, she felt sweat emerge from her temples. This was the worst stomach cramp Rose had ever experienced in her entire life. Until she can no longer tell the difference between stomach cramps or she has food poisoning. It’s killing her badly.
Unable to bear the pain, Rose slowly woke up. Trying to find painkillers. She remembers she had the painkiller medicine in her bag. She stumbled onto the couch when her feet met the cold marble floor.
"Why are you awake, Rose?"
Suddenly Rose stops her step when she hears Evan’s voice behind her. She looked back at the bed. Rose saw Evan get off the bed and approach her with half-opened eyes. His messy hair made Rose slightly smile. She forgot the pain that hit her in a split second, but the next second the pain hit her again.
"E-Evan, I’m fine. I just forgot to take my medicine. You can continue to sleep. I will follow you after this...."
"What medicine? Are you hurt?" Evan is now standing right before her.
Even though the room is dim, Evan can clearly see Rose’s face now looks pale. On her forehead and hair were clearly visible traces of sweat.
He was so shocked. How could this girl sweat so much in this cold bedroom? In a hurry, he touched her forehead to feel her body temperature. He felt relieved. Her temperature feels in a normal range. Without saying anything, he immediately took water for her.
"Hurry, drink your pain killer."
He knows her stomach cramps must have appeared, and his enormous and sincere empathy for her pain makes his body feel the pain.
It’s been a while since Evan knew that Rose often experienced pain during menstruation. He researched how to help Rose not feel pain like this again. But, instead of finding the answer he wanted, he was even more stressed because of the comments he read in the article, mostly saying that this kind of pain is no joke. Very severe. Some even say the pain is like the pain when giving birth.
At first, he didn’t believe the comments he read but seeing how hurt Rose was, he had no doubt about the pain level.
Evan carried Rose to the bed after he saw her drink her medicine.
"Sleep again. It’s still early in the morning...." Evan pulled her into his embrace and hugged her tightly.
"I’m sorry to wake you up, Evan!"
"You should not say those words! This is my duty to help you, Rose. I hope from now on, you don’t keep the pain you feel alone. I’m willing to feel the same as you if I can...."
Rose listened in silence as she buried her head into his chest. She happily smiled because his sweet words somehow gave her warmth and safety.
"Understand?"
"Hmm... understand."
"Alright, sleep now!"
Evan kissed her forehead. He stopped talking, not wanting to make her sleepless.
Chapter 144: Congrats
When Rose woke up in the morning, she didn’t see Evan beside her.
"He must be outside preparing breakfast, right!?" Rose talked to herself as she glanced at the clock on the nightstand. It was 8 AM. She was surprised.
How could she wake up this late? And, how could she always wake up after Evan? This is not right! If her mother knows, she will scold her.
Rose quickly dragged herself to the bathroom to get ready. Today at 9 AM, she has to meet Oliver and Sam to get authorization to open an official branch in this city. Oliver told her last night that they would confront the high-ranking government officials in charge of the authorization. They have solid evidence that this official was bribed by the Global Group who eye Rapid Realty.
They will do the soft-way first. However, if the corrupt officials stall time to sign the permit application for opening a branch office that they submitted, then they would use the hard way. It is their last option. Oliver has a lot of evidence that could incriminate the corrupt officials. The evidence could make his career stop instantly, and maybe he will be imprisoned for the rest of his life.
Surprisingly, this kind of practice it’s been going on for several years in this city. Several companies will benefit from each auction. And on average, the winner of the tender is a local company owned by a political party ruling this city.
But it looks like this dirty practice will end this year. The high-ranking government officials and the auction committee were unlucky now that the Wilson Group took part this time, and their dirty practice would soon be exposed. Rose, can’t let something like this happen. Not when her company was involved in this auction.
If her company did not participate, Rose would just close her eyes. Don’t want to make a fuss with others. But, this time, it was a different story.
When Rose left the bedroom, she didn’t see Evan in the dining room. But she saw on the dining table that there was an English breakfast neatly arranged. And also, there is a post-it stuck to the green tea cup.
[Wifey, I’m sorry I didn’t have time to say goodbye. I have important business. Will be back before dinner. Love-Evan]
Rose smiled when she read the message. She quickly finished her breakfast and texted Sam when she was ready. She will go down to the lobby after Sam calls her. Actually, she doesn’t need to go with them because Oliver and Sam can handle this problem. It’s just that Rose wants to see how Oliver and Gavin handle this situation.
When Rose got down in the lobby, she met Sam. He is waiting for her in front of the elevator.
Today, Rose did not bring her laptop bag, only her small Birkin bag. She also wears her casual outfit, a white blouse paired with a khaki culotte. She deliberately disguised herself as an ordinary staff member, not the owner of the Wilson group.
Rose wasn’t going to meddle in Oliver and Gavin’s business. She was just following them to watch the show.
After a simple greeting with Oliver, who sat beside the driver’s seat, Rose looked at Sam, who started the car engine. "Sam, where’s Gavin? I thought Gavin would go with us."
"Gavin will be waiting for us there...."
"By the way, is there a problem at Starlight Investment, Sam? I saw Evan leave so early this morning. Has something urgent happened?" Rose was worried that if Gavin helped them, Evan would be overwhelmed in the office without an assistant.
"I’m sorry, Lady Boss, I never know about office business anymore..." Sam told the truth. Since he was transferred by Boss Evan to work with Lady Boss, Gavin has never again shared information about the company.
"Ah! Alright... I was worried that Evan would need Gavin if things went wrong at his office."
"No worries, Lady Boss," Sam replied calmly. "Boss Evan has plenty of capable assistants."
Apart from himself and Gavin, two other assistants are ready to take care of their big boss’ needs. Besides, there is Marvin Sanders. Even though Marvin is the CEO of Dream Inc, his status is still the same in Evan’s eyes. Marvin is his trusted assistant, ready to be bothered with his personal affairs.
Rose had heard from Evan that he had an assistant in every city, but so far, she had only met two people; Sam and Gavin. She could only nod in understanding Sam’s words.
Along the way, Rose didn’t talk much; she just stared at her cellphone, reading some news. But Oliver’s curious eyes looked sharply through the rearview mirror at her.
"Congrats Rose..." Oliver’s sudden words make Rose raise her head and look at Oliver.
Rose was confused. Why did he suddenly say ’congratulations’?
"For what?"
"Your engagement..." Oliver turned his gaze again to the street ahead when he saw Rose’s face turn to blush. "Well, I never imagined you would marry this young Rose. I always thought of you as a woman who dreams of being happily married. But I never thought it would be this young."
"Why do you think that way, Oliver?" She never said anything about her plan for the future to Oliver. How could he guess so?
"Well, I thought you might plan to marry right after your company is on the top, or at least more stable. Well, you know what I mean, right?" Oliver chuckled. He knows Rose’s will-be-in-law is Collins Group. How could this girl dare to marry Evan so soon? Was she not worried that her status could be scorned by a wealthy family like The Collins?
Oliver knows how rich people like Collins look for an in-law because he has experienced that kind of culture since childhood. His mother, who came from an ordinary family, had to suffer when she was expelled by the Hester family, his father’s family. In contrast, his father at that time did not have the power to defend him and his mother. They were exiled to another city. The most hurtful part was they were not allowed to mention to anyone that they were part of the Hester family from Nova City.
Till now, Oliver never liked using Hester behind his name. He hated it so much. However, his late mother insisted that he use that name. This is her last wish before she dies.
Rose couldn’t answer Oliver’s words. Indeed she is worried about it. But, Evan promised her that his Grandpa is different from his father. That’s why they will meet his Grandpa after their return to the capital to get the blessing. This time, Rose would entrust this matter to Evan.
Chapter 145: Distant
During the rest of the trip, Rose gets lost reading the news about top pop singer Noah Stone. There was a sense of pride in seeing Noah Stone become more successful. And his success was not only domestically but has spread beyond borders.
Noah Stone’s success is supported by his fans all over the world. Reading comments from fans who almost all support him made Rose believe that Noah Stone is the only pop singer in Astington with no haters. So far, she has not yet read any hate comments about him. This is relieving because Rose had witnessed how kind and caring this man was since childhood. He is always there for her whenever she needs someone to rely on until his singing career starts.
In Rose’s past life, Noah became the number-one singer in the country, but his success made him busier. At the same time, she is also preoccupied with her sad and troubled married life. They became distant and never saw each other again.
In this life, Rose will make sure her relationship will remain the same because something will happen to Noah’s father a few years from now. That incident will change his career entirely. Rose clenches her tiny fist, trying to calm her restless heart, remembering her past memories.
Later, Rose read a new article about Noah Stone’s departure for a Europe tour in two days. She immediately felt terrible that they couldn’t see each other again. Even though she had been looking forward to meeting him for a long time.
Rose decided to send him a text message.
[Rose] Brother, I read you’re going to Europe? When will you be back home?
She waited for a while, but no reply. Only Sent’s sign, but not a Read one. It seemed like Noah was still busy.
Soon their car arrived at the company registration office. From a distance, Rose saw Gavin in a navy suit standing near the entrance. His face looks solemn with his black-rimmed glasses.
When Gavin saw the car Sam was driving, he stood up straight and approached the vehicle as soon as it stopped. "Lady Boss..." He opened the passenger’s door for Rose and greeted her politely.
"Morning, Gavin!" Rose was grateful Evan sent his capable assistant to help her. But she couldn’t show it because her mind was distracted thinking about Evan’s company. As they walk to the building, she asks Gavin,
"Gavin, is there a problem at the company? Why is your big boss going to the office so early in the morning?"
Rose knows Evan is not the type who likes to spend time in the office. He is a man who prefers to stay at home, just like her.
Gavin was surprised to hear Lady Boss’s question. He glances at her and slightly tries to read her facial expression. Gavin could see how worried she looked. But, this makes him confused, because what he knows, there are no problems at the company and there is no agenda if boss Evan is going to the office today. He felt strange. Their boss must have done something else not related to Starlight.
Is Boss Evan planning another surprise for Lady Boss? Gavin thought.
Worried that he had given the wrong information, Gavin nodded in agreement that there was currently a problem at the company.
Rose stops her step abruptly. Making Sam, who was behind Rose, stops in surprise.
"Damn it, Sam! Why are you stopping suddenly?" Oliver scolded Sam. He almost bumps into Sam’s giant body. The sudden stop almost made Oliver Ray Ban’s latest collection broken.
Sam ignored Oliver’s deathly glare. His eyes are staring at Rose, who is looking worriedly at Gavin.
"Gavin! Please go back to Evan... Evan must be needing you more than I. We can handle anything here."
Rose knows Gavin already helped them so much. He gives them quick access to submit forms at the registry office. And also lent one floor in the Starlight Investment building as the new Wilson group branch office. He even gave them a few staff located at Wilson Group’s new branch office. In short, the Vale City branch of Wilson Group is now officially running. This man handles everything in just a few hours. This made Rose even more amazed by all of Evan’s assistants, who have above ordinary talents and intelligence. They are all gifted.
Gavin was struck by lightning when he heard Lady Boss’ words. He thought pretending to say Starlight was in trouble would make Lady Boss stop asking about Boss Evan. Apparently, he was wrong. It was precisely his careless words that made Lady Boss panic.
"L-Lady Boss... don’t worry too much. There’s another assistant who will help Boss Evan." Gavin hurriedly replied to her and led them to enter the building. "Let’s go! The person in charge is already waiting for us...."
Rose follows Gavin, but her heart still feels uneasy. "Gavin, are you sure Evan will be fine?"
"Yes, Lady Boss!" He answered firmly. Trying to make eye contact with her to convince her.
Rose felt a little bit relieved to hear that.
Before long, they followed one of the staff, who escorted them to the meeting room. As the door opened, a tall, fat middle-aged man with a round face stood up from his chair. The man walked towards the door with his broad smile as he greeted Gavin.
"Wow! Mr. Gavin Riddle..." Bo Harrison, a high-ranking government official, offered his big hand to Gavin for a handshake, "You don’t have to bother coming here, sir. Just call me, and I’ll handle all the problems...." His booming laugh echoed through the empty meeting room. Then he asked Gavin to sit down after receiving a cold face from him.
The meeting table is rectangular, long, and can accommodate 20 people on each opposite side. But on the short side, it has only one seat, a boss seat. Now it looks enormous because only 5 people are at the table.
Gavin and others sit in line, and opposite them seat Bo Harrison with his fake smile still graceful on his round, oily face. The arrogance of his facial expression was evident. This man didn’t have any interest in other people. He only looked at Gavin as if only he and Gavin were in the room.
