had nothing to do with Rose were false.
She even told herself that Patrick might have come for a meal with a friend, and she could not believe that woman’s words. Hearing footsteps in the corridor, she hurried to the corner of the corridor and hid there.
She watched helplessly as Rose pushed open the door of the private booth and walked in.
Violet's heart went cold all of a sudden. She wanted to rush in and ask Patrick why he had deceived her.
How naive she was to think that Patrick could only be good to her! He treated her well, both openly and secretly. How naive she was to think that Patrick could only be nice to her!
He had been nice to her and stood up for her both overtly and covertly.
But he was too benevolent, caring about more than just her!
When the rumors about Patrick and Rose first came out, Violet had not thought much
of it.
However, this time, she felt even worse than before.
Violet entered the private booth in a daze. After dinner, she told everyone that she was going home.
On the other side, Patrick was still in the private booth for dinner.
Patrick hadn’t even taken more than a few bites when the director next to him pushed Rose and said, “Hurry up and toast Mr. Hersey. What are you doing?”
Rose nodded, smiled gently at Patrick, stood up, and toasted him.
Rose had intentionally flaunted her date with Patrick in front of Violet.
It was because she was certain that Violet would not know the truth.
After all, subordinates in the company were often afraid to greet their boss. When Violet looked into the private booth, Mr. Chambers and the producer were
sitting too far away from Patrick. Coupled with the fact that the door was only slightly open, she did not see much of the scene in the private booth.

Today, this dinner was arranged by Rose’s new TV show production team. Their goal
show was to promote Rose to Patrick and persuade him to invest in the new TV
When rumors of a relationship between Rose and Patrick had spread before, the director and producers thought there was something between them!
However, only Rose knew that this was not the case. When she went to Foreverie Jewelry that day, she had even been warned by Patrick!
However, even so, she could not tell others that there was nothing between her and Patrick.
What was more critical was that she had heard today that Foreverie Jewelry was looking to replace its jewelry spokesperson. She was more than thrilled.
Holding a wine glass, she walked up to Patrick, her eyes shimmering with allure, coyly biting her lip, “Mr. Hersey!”
Patrick did not even look at her. Instead, he stared at the wine glass in front of him with a cold expression.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Tonight, the director had asked him to invest in a new play, and he had originally intended to do so, which is why he had come to this dinner.
However, he hadn't expected that the director and the producers, in order to win his favor, would bring Rose along to accompany them.
It was impossible for Patrick not to know what they were planning! But because he knew about it, he was somewhat angry,
He was afraid that Violet would misunderstand and was already keeping a distance from Rose, but he had not expected these two idiots to send her to him.
Seeing that it was about time, he said directly, ‘T'll think about the investment for this show. Let's call it a day!” Patrick stood up and was about to leave..
Mr. Chambers and the producer’s expressions changed immediately, and they kept winking at Rose.
Rose quickly said, “Mr. Hersey!”

When he heard her voice, he turned to look at her, his expression somewhat disappointed. “I thought you were a spirited and strong-willed girl who rose from the countryside to make it big, but in the end, you’re just another person driven by self- interest,” he said.
To be honest, during the dinner Robert had organized at the beginning, he had a bit of admiration for the girl who had come from the countryside to make it big when Rose told him about her struggles.
Now, her encouraging and inspiring story seemed like a joke to him. Rose’s expression changed. “Mr. Hersey, it’s not like that. | am just...”
Patrick chuckled, “You are just what? Just because you heard that Foreverie Jewelry was looking for a new spokesperson, you immediately agreed to come here with the director to see if you can gain some benefits?”
These people, when they smelled an opportunity for profit, were like dogs catching a smell of food quicker than anything. Mr. Chambers and the producer lowered their heads and did not speak.
Rose turned pale, her whole self seeming to waver, “Mr. Hersey, | didn’t... | just admire. you!”
Patrick sneered, for he did not believe her nonsense at all.
He turned around and left. Rose was extremely flustered!
If Patrick completely detested her, where would she find such an outstanding man in the future?!
If she had to go accompany those beer-—bellied, bold, yellow-toothed old men, she would rather end her life! Therefore, even if Patrick was married, she did not care.
Without even looking at Mr. Chambers and the producer, she chased after him.
Patrick took the elevator down. When Rose chased after him, the elevator door had already begun to close. Patrick turned a blind eye to the anxious Rose.
As Rose rushed towards the elevator, it closed completely, descending.
Rose had no choice but to take the elevator on the other side.

When Rose went downstairs, she was fortunate that Patrick was standing right at the entrance of Quendar Restaurant, waiting for the valet to bring his car.
Rose quickly ran over and said, “Mr. Hersey! It is not like what you think!”
When Patrick saw her running towards him, he took two steps back and distanced himself.

However, at this moment, a car suddenly rushed over crazily and crashed into the spot where he had been standing just now. Patrick’s cyes flashed, and he reached out to pull Rose towards him.
