Chapter 49 Act Improperly
How could Rose ignore a handsome guy who was starving? She pointed toward the kitchen as she signaled him to let go of her.
She then went to the kitchen. Ten minutes later, a plate of spaghetti was placed in front of Jonathan.
He looked at the simple–made spaghetti with disdain. He already expected that her culinary skills were nothing special.
However, after taking a bite, he revealed an incredulous expression. The taste was surprisingly good.
Rose was cleaning the stove in the kitchen. Jonathan became entranced as the warm light illuminated
her.
When Rose was about to turn around, he shifted his gaze away and concentrated on eating his meal. Five. days later, the semi–final results of the National Jewelry Design Award were announced.
Rose successfully made it to the finals.
She eagerly screenshot the news and sent it to her star escort husband as she texted, “You promised me a surprise if I made it to the finals. Can you finally tell me what it is?”
Jonathan was in a meeting. Upon seeing the message, his stern face suddenly broke into a smile.
He then replied to her message, “I’ll give it to you on the day of the finals.”
What? Rose replied with an emoji that showed disdain and tossed her phone aside to prepare for the finals.
However, Jonathan kept his eyes fixed on the phone, particularly on the emoji she sent. He couldn’t help but smile as his heart filled with joy.
“Mr. Finch?”
It was only until Finley reminded him that he noticed that everyone in the meeting room was staring at him in surprise.
“Cough…”
He put away his smile and resumed his serious demeanor.
After the meeting, he immediately instructed Finley, “Notify the Young family that have a free schedule: on the day of the finals. I can attend as a special guest judge.
Finley
was momentarily stunned. The finals of the National Jewelry Design Award were scheduled for the 10th of next month.
After quickly checking Jonathan’s schedule, he said, “Mr. Finch, the president of Lerain Group is coming to Aquastead on that day. You have a dinner appointment with him. Besides, you also planned to visit Mrs. Gibson Senior in the morning.
“Postpone it, or reschedule.”
Jonathan decided without hesitation.
“But…
+15 BONUS
It was right to reschedule the visit to Mrs. Gibson Senior.
However, offending Lerain Group, which held significant influence in international affairs, was a risky move as Finch Group was seeking collaboration with Lerain Group for the first time.
It would make Finch Group a shame if Jonathan decided to postpone or reschedule the dinner with the president.
“Mr. Finch …”
Finley wanted to say more, but a single glance from Jonathan silenced him. In the end, he went to discuss the details of Jonathan’s participation as a judge with the Youngs.
The news that Jonathan would be a special guest judge at the National Jewelry Design Award finals was soon announced on the official website.
That evening, when Jonathan was taking a shower in the bathroom, Rose saw the handsome silhouette of “Mr. Finch” on the official website.
Her heart skipped a beat as she worriedly thought, “He’s also involved? What if he recognizes me and causes trouble?”
Just as she was feeling uneasy, her star escort husband’s phone, which was left on the sofa, started ringing.
She didn’t want to invade someone’s privacy. However, the call was persistent, hanging up a back repeatedly.
Wondering if it was an urgent call, she decided to hand the phone to her star escort husband in the bathroom. However, as she reached for the phone, she accidentally answered it.
calling
From the other end of the line, a woman said gently, “Jonathan, I knew you wouldn’t refuse me. When you return to Regalia, I’ll come pick you up…..
Before she could continue, the bathroom door suddenly swung open. Rose was startled. Her hand trembled and accidentally disconnected the call.
Jonathan, wrapped in a white bathrobe with a layer of mist on his wet hair, furrowed his brows. He stared at the phone in her hand. Rose felt as if she had been caught doing something wrong.
Without thinking much, she blurted out, “I just wanted to use the bathroom…”
“Huh?”
Jonathan’s gaze grew more guarded as if he suspected she was using this as an excuse to act improperly. Rose felt that her explanation was falling apart.
At that moment, the phone rang again. Seeing the name “Anastasia” on it, she immediately shoved the phone into his hand.
