Chapter 72 Hold On

Seeing the shocking bruises on Sophie’s arms, Joy just felt extremely angry. She nearly bit her teeth.

Timothy was such a pervert. He left so many marks.

“Mum, go to City G with me, ok? I told Sky that you would travel there with me. Then I could avoid
seeing him. The bruises will disappear in one week.” She pulled Joy’s hands.

“We can do nothing else.” Joy sighed. They should be played by Rose.

“But I won’t let Rose and Timothy off!” Sophie bit her lip and the anger made her upset.

“Let’s leave here. We have to give the matter further thought. We should be cautious next time!” Joy
came to realize that Rose was no easy to be played.

“Mum, please help me. Don’t abandon me.”

“Of course.”

“Thank you, mum, I love you.”

Joy nodded and helped Sophie dress up herself and they left.

She booked the flight ticket on the Internet, preparing to leave City H in the shortest time to escape the
crisis.

But the name of Rose became a needle stabbing deeper in Sophie’s heart that she couldn’t even have
a sound sleep.

On the contrary, Rose gradually got used to the work life in the company and she got along well with
the colleagues.



She spent the whole morning attending the meeting, focused on and learned about the progress of City
J Theater.

She worked happily the whole day. She didn’t remember the nightmare until she saw Bill’s car in front
of the company.

She stood there, looked at smiling Bill and felt it disturbing.

“Ms. Linder’s pursuer is so considerate.” Matthew appeared behind her.

“Mr. Sue…” Rose looked aside at Matthew, “We’re only friends.”

“Have a good day. See you tomorrow.” He seemed to ignore her words and strode away.

Rose felt she couldn’t explain the situation clearly even if she had 100 mouths.

She came up to Bill. Bill opened the door and made a gesture of invitation, “Ms. Linder, Mr. Lee has
made a reservation in the restaurant.”

That was to say she couldn’t refuse him.

Just then her phone rang. It was CEO Dong’s call. He asked her to well treat Bright as he was the
biggest customer of their company.

Since the boss had said so, what could she say?

“Please drive me there.”

She sat in the car reluctantly and Bill focused on driving.

The car drove stably for a while. Rose looked at the views outside the window and said absently, “Bill,
the colleagues in my company think you’re pursuing me…”



“Ahem- -”

Bill jammed on the brakes suddenly. The faction between the wheels and the ground made a harsh
noise as if he was torturing Rose’s eardrums.

“Ms. Linder, don’t make such kind of jokes.” Bill faked a smile. He felt he was sweating on the back.

If Mr. Lee knew it, he was likely to be killed.

She was the woman Mr. Lee liked. Even if he had enough courage, he didn’t dare to pursue her unless
he wanted to commit suicide.

“I didn’t say so, but my colleagues. It’s impossible to shut their mouths. Do you know what to do?” She
smiled innocently but the implication was that he’d better get away and not be around her.

“Thank you. I remember it.” He restarted the car.

Finally, Bill drove Rose to somewhere tranquil.

He took a paper bag from the trunk and gave it to Rose.

At the first sight, she recognized it was a famous brand for women, “What do you mean?”

Bill looked Rose who wore professionally up and down, “Don’t you need to change the clothes?”

All women were anxious to dress in bright and cheery colors to get Bright’s one more look.

She looked at herself, “I’m fine. Is there anything wrong?”

“You’d better dress formally so you’ll be prettier.” Bill suggested, “Ms. Linder, please seize the time. Mr.
Lee doesn’t like people being late.”



Rose thought it was really troublesome to change clothes for a meal.

But she took the bag and put on the dress on the car. It was a slim dress with simple tailoring and the
tassels made it girlie. When she got off the car, she amazed Bill.

What came into her sight was poetic scenery with green tiles and white walls, green bamboos,
prosperously growing ficus virens and a brook passing in front of the door.

This was the Oriental Pearl Garden Restaurant where the purchase was high-end and membership
system was carried out.

It seemed that the restaurant was built in the garden. Small bridges with flowing water were
everywhere, the bamboo was growing prosperously and flowers were blooming, making it a beautiful
place.

The air was full of the scent of flowers, fresh and natural.

The restaurant was divided into different courtyards. Chunhua Garden was where she needed to go.
She pushed open the door, but nobody was in the big courtyard. Flowers and grasses were growing
vigorously in the courtyard. Waterfalls and rockeries were inside as well with koi fishes swimming in the
pool.

There was a pavilion in the center of the courtyard. In the pavilion there was a round old-fashioned
table for 8 people made of Gold Phoebe.

It was really considerate of Bright to arrange the meal in such an environment.

When her fingers touched the table, a low but happy voice appeared, “Do you like here?”



Hearing Bright’s voice, she turned around and then a bunch of beautiful orange roses came into her
sight.

The black suit with the bunch of flowers in his hand made him look like a childe of the city.

“For you.” He handed the flowers to her.

She glanced from the flowers to him, but she didn’t stretch out the hands.

Bright shoved the flowers to her arms, “Take it.”

He was as bossy as usual!

Rose gently put the flowers on the table, “Mr. Lee, I come here to tell you I have something else
important. I’ll make an apology next time.”

“Ms. Linder, it won’t take you long to finish a meal.” He elegantly unbuttoned the buckles and took a
seat on an ancient stool, “And I have an important piece of news to announce today.”

She looked suspiciously at his good-looking face, “What on earth is it?”

She thought he was deliberately mystified to detain her.

“I’ll tell you after the meal.” He made a gesture of initiation.

“I’ll make a decision after you tell me.” Rose learnt negotiation.

“I’m afraid if I announce it now, you won’t leave.” He smiled sneeringly.

“Can you please stop blowing your own horn?” Her voice sounded a bit angry.



“Ms. Linder, hold on.” Bright reached his pocket, took out an envelope and put it on the
table.
