Come on Daddy!

Chapter 62 Scaring Your Suitor Away

“From the perspective of your work relationship, Mr. Lee should at least send you a wedding invitation so you can catch some good luck.” Joy picked up a piece of crystal dumpling and blew on it before putting it on the plate in front of Chandler.

“I'm also looking forward to it. There’ll be food and drinks.” Rose ate the dumplings.

“Why doesn't this picture of Mrs. Lee show the front of her face? Plus, it’s so dark. Who can see clearly? I wonder which woman is lucky to marry into the Lee family and become Mr. Lee’s wife.” Chandler glanced at the newspaper beside him again.

“No matter who Mrs. Lee is, she is definitely not an ordinary person. Someone like Mr. Lee is like a dragon and someone who can match him would naturally be like a phoenix, a celebrity among the girls.” Joy looked at Rose on the opposite side from time to time. “Rose, you and Mr. Lee have been in touch for a while. Why didn't you make use of your chance and let the Linder family benefit?”

“Mom, Mr. Lee is already married, so it's better not to say that. Besides, we are just working together, so don't think too much.” Rose clarified her relationship with Bright.

“That's really a pity.” Joy's brows and eyes showed “disappointment”.

At this time, Jennifer spoke. “What’s there to pity? Rose is great, what’s there to worry about not finding someone better? Although I wanted to match Rose and Bright, it's just that they have no fate. Since there is no fate, we should look forward to the future, and there will be someone better.”

“Grandma, let’s not talk about this.” Rose picked up a small dumpling for her grandma. “Enjoy it.”

“I just want to say, I arranged for the eldest son of the Fan family to have dinner for me today. Make sure you dress up a little bit and surprise them.” Jennifer looked at the dress Rose wore today. “You can't wear this. You should wear a dress, so you look cuter. Remember to change.”

“Grandma, I'm going to work today.” Rose chose to dress formally on the first day to make her look professional.

“You won't have too much work on the first day. In the afternoon, remember to arrive on time, otherwise grandma won’t talk to you again.” Jennifer appeared serious.

“Yes.” Rose didn’t dare disobey.

Rose drank the last sip of porridge. “Grandma, take your time. Call me if there’s anything up. I'm going to work first.”

“Yeah. Don't work too hard.” Jennifer urged her.

Rose picked up the lemon yellow purse and got up. “Dad, Mom, I’ll be leaving now.”

“Chandler, don't you also need to go to work? You can give Rose a ride and pick her up when you come back. Remember.” Jennifer looked at her son, who was still eating slowly.

Chandler wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue. “Rose, I’ll give you a ride.”

And so, Rose did not refuse to get in Chandler's car.

The black Mercedes-Benz drove out of Linder's house, all the way out of the villa area, towards the center of the city.

“Rose, the boy that grandma introduced to you should be quite nice. Make sure you seize the opportunity and don't let grandma worry.” Chandler spoke earnestly.

“I will, dad, don't worry.” Rose obediently replied.

When they arrived at YM Group’s branch in City H, Rose got off the car.

It was her first day at a new company, so Rose was ten minutes earlier than when work started. She waited in the rest area until the general manager of the branch arrived. After that, she met with her new boss, Matthew Sue, under the guidance of the secretary.

Matthew wore an iron-gray suit. His face was a little rectangular-shaped and he wore rimless glasses. He was about forty years old or above. Although he wouldn’t border on the handsome, he was still good-looking, especially after a few more glances.

Moreover, his appearance did not reflect his actual age at all. Although there were a few fine lines around the corner of his eyes, it did not affect his charm as a middle-aged elite man. On the contrary, men of his age were more masculine and attracted girls who liked middle-aged men.

“President Sue, hello. My name is Rose. I look forward to our working together.” Rose took the initiative to introduce herself and handed him the transfer letter with both hands.

“Miss Linder, hello. I have long been looking forward to meeting you.” Matthew took the transfer letter and put it down. “Your future is full of promise given that you were able to become the main designer of City H Theater.”

“It was a result of everyone’s hard work. I dare not take the credit all by myself.” Rose sat down. “I will work hard in the future.”

“Head to the HR office to go through the formalities, and then familiarize yourself with your work. There will be a morning meeting later and you also need to attend.” Matthew summarized what Rose needed to do.

Rose completed the entry procedures under the guidance of the secretary, and then sat down in the office of design supervisor under looks of envy from everyone in the design department.

In the face of everyone's scrutiny and speculation, she turned a blind eye.

There was indeed not much work on the first day, and Rose was not used to it.

When she got off work, she met Matthew again. “Where is Miss Linder going? I can give you a ride if you won’t mind.”

“I need to go to Country Hotel.” Rose did not refuse. “If it’s not the same way as Manager Sue, then I won’t bother you.”

“It just so happens that I also need to go to Country Hotel. Get in the car.” Matthew invited her.

Rose opened the rear door and got into the car, keeping her distance.

“What is Miss Linder doing at Country Hotel?” He turned the steering wheel half a circle to the left with his right hand and drove into the main lane.

“Blind date.” Rose was candid.

Matthew was a little surprised by her straightforwardness and glanced at Rose through the rear-view mirror. There was no special expression on her face, so it didn't look like she was forced.

“Ms. Linder is so beautiful but doesn’t a boyfriend.” This surprised Matthew.

“I have a 5-year-old daughter.” Rose didn’t bother to hide it.

“...” Matthew shook his head lightly. “Miss Linder really dares to say anything. Is this how you scared your suitors away?”

“Of course not, I really have a daughter.” Rose's expression didn’t show that she was joking at all. “That's why no one dares to pursue me. Of course, my daughter and I live happily and don't need a man. But my grandma thinks differently. I do this all to reassure the elderly.”

“Miss Linder is very filial.” Matthew guessed that Rose might be a divorced or widowed single mother.

She was good-natured and straight-forward. There were not many honest women like this, and she was very independent.

“My grandma has loved me very much since I was a child. Even if everyone doesn't believe me, she would still be on my side. How can I ignore her feelings? And she’s doing it for my own good. I am willing to try things that make her happy.” Whenever Rose talked about her grandma, she would become a little moved and tears would fill her eyes.

“Ok.”

As they chatted, they arrived at Country Hotel.

“President Sue, thank you. Next time I invite you to dinner.” Rose waved at him after getting out of the car.

“Miss Lin, you're too polite. But I’ll remember about this meal.” Matthew stopped the car.

Rose saw Joy approaching as soon as she entered the hotel but did not see her grandma. “Where is grandma?” This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

She said that she would accompany her to meet her blind date. Why wasn’t she here?
