Chapter 146 The Strange Atmosphere

Without any expression on his face, Rogelio wiped the stains off with a napkin.

Then he picked up another piece of meat for me and said, "you're an adult. Why haven't you used your
chopsticks well?"

"That's right. Brother, as far as I'm concerned, Jasmine needs someone to take care of him before he
can have dinner."

I couldn't help blushing because of their tease.

I looked at Rogelio and asked, "why don't you eat?"

Rosie changed the sweet and sour ribs to the other dishes in front of Rogelio and said with a smile.
"Ah...I don't know what my brother likes to eat, but I know what he doesn't like to eat the most."

Rogelio smiled, took a mouthful of green vegetables and chewed it gently without saying anything.

I asked, "what doesn't Rogelio like to eat?"

Pointing at the sweet and sour spareribs with chopsticks, Rosie continued, "When we were young, my
mother liked to make this for us. At first, we really loved to eat it, but my mother always made it for us.
Once, my brother vomited up after he finished eating, and then he won't eat any more when he sees
the dish again. However, in order to make my mother happy, my brother is still likely to eat a little. He
doesn't eat anything symbolically. My second brother and I would never consider my mother's feeling.
So my mother thought my brother likes this dish the most, but actually only my second elder brother
and I know that he hates it most in his heart. It is a psychological shadow."

My palms sweated when I heard that. I knew that I had been completely exposed.



I blushed and looked at Rogelio, who was putting a piece of sparerib into his mouth with a smile and
tasting it carefully.

"Yes, Jasmine. The food you cooked is different from my mother's. It's very delicious."

Rosie shook her head with smile and took another dish.

Rogelio's reaction seemed to forget that I had told a lie to him. His smile was natural, but my heart was
uneasy beyond description.

After a few bites, Rosie looked at Rogelio and me in curiosity. "Do you have anything to tell me?"

"No, I'm not!"

"No, I didn't."

Rogelio and I almost spoke in the same voice, but my voice had a sense of eagerness to explain, while
Rogelio's voice was calm and easy.

Rosie and Xenia looked at each other, and the look in their eyes was vicious.

Then Rosie turned to Xenia and asked, "do you think we should not stay here now?"

Xenia lowered her head, quickly crossed her plate and gulped down the food.

Not willing to lag behind, Rosie also finished the meal quickly. The two people wiped the corners of
their mouths and stood up to leave.

I had already not known how to behave now and said, "Can you two be more serious?"

"We are very serious!"



They smiled at each other, and then they put down their chopsticks and walked away hand in hand.

Rogelio was calmer than me. "Leave them alone. I'm not full yet. Let's enjoy our meal."

Rogelio's soft voice calmed me down a lot.

Thank goodness, Rogelio didn't ask me why I was lying, nor did Xenia ask more. It made the meal
warmer and less awkward.

The doorbell rang again.

Rogelio looked at him and asked, "who will come at this time?"

I shook my head, "I'll go to have a look. No one comes to my house as usual."

I went to open the door, only to find that it was not anyone else, but Robbie.

"Why are you here?"

"What? Shouldn't I have come now?"

I shook my head, "No, I just didn't expect you to come."

"I'm here to remind you that you're a public figure now. You should not only have self-discipline on your
words, but also know the right way to deal with people."

I knew Robbie came for what happened last night.

Rogelio walked to Robbie and said to him, "what? She can't have her freedom as a star?"

Robbie was also surprised to see Rogelio here.

There was a note of implication in Robbie's words. "So you are here."



As Robbie spoke, he glanced at me. There was something that I couldn't understand in his eyes.

As if I said "Why are you here" just now was really because he was not welcome.

Rogelio asked, "Can you and Rosie be the only guests here?"

"You should have known what happened yesterday. Now it's time to avoid suspicion, isn't it?"

The atmosphere between the two people was a little cold, as they always felt that it should not be an
atmosphere between brothers.

However, their impression towards Rosie was totally different.

Rogelio said to Robbie, "I won't thank you for what you did yesterday."

"I didn't do that to get your thanks,"

"Have you ever thought about how to disclose it to the public?"

"Make it clear?" With a slight snort, Robbie said, "there is nothing to say. At this point, who else would
believe what you have said?"

Robbie took a look at the table, walked over, took out a pair of chopsticks and filled a bowl with rice
himself, and then sat down to eat.

After two bites, Robbie pointed at the seat of me and Rogelio with chopsticks, "haven't you finished
eating? Let's eat together."

I looked at Rogelio. Actually, I didn't have any problem with Robbie. Seeing Rogelio, I hesitated for a
while, and finally chose to sit together, I was somehow relieved.



In the past, I didn't think their relationship was odd, but today I always felt that there was something
wrong.

Rogelio and I sat down again.

"How is the purchase case in your hands?"

"The general frame has been set up, and the specific details of the acquisition are still discussed."

"I don't think it's a good idea for you to buy this company if you want to enter this field."

Rogelio raised his eyes and looked at Robbie. "What good advice do you have?"

"This company is obviously less competitive in the market. Instead of buying it with effort, it can build its
own company. In fact, the only place that is worth buying is their team. If you need it, you can first find a
headhunter to have a try."

"Since you care so much about the business, why don't you come back and do it?"

I could sense from Rogelio's tone that there was less sincerity and more dissatisfaction.

There was a trace of coldness in Robbie's eyes. "I just heard some bad news there. It's your business
whether to accept it or not. I'm not interested in going back."

Rogelio didn't continue to eat, but it seemed that Robbie's appetite wasn't affected at all. He ate two
bowls of rice and a lot of dishes.

Because of the strange atmosphere between them, I didn't eat anything when I was eating, and I
almost didn't eat again.

Robbie looked at us, "It seems that I have really affected your appetite."
