Sir Ares, Goodnight

Chapter 245

Lifting an arm, Rose sent a slap across Nancy's cheek.

Slap—

Everyone present froze at the sharp sound of the slap cut through the room.

Cupping the burning skin of her cheek, Nancy glared unquestionably at Rose. "How dare you slap me?"

Sean Bell was evidently shell-shocked.

Despite the glaring distaste he held for his sister, Nancy Bell, Sean still tried his best at pretending to embrace this woman as his sister. Shutting his eyes to Nancy's bouts of tantrums for the sake of keeping up the gentle and elegant facade he put up before the Bell elders.

It had never crossed his mind that Rose Loyle would avenge him so resolutely for something he had resigned himself to endure.

It felt great!

However, in the face of a duo with special identities, Sean could not help but worry about the consequences Nancy was to face.

"You saw, right Sean? Your assistant slapped me! I'm telling Daddy." Nancy bawled as she ran off.

Sean's expression darkened at his sister's threat,

knowing Nancy's act of bringing it up to their father would only destroy a good amount of the newly rebuilt trust he had hard-earned.

Rose Loyle reassured, at the sight of Sean’s troubled expression, "Don't worry. I'll talk to the Chairman and apologize personally."

Looking at Rose Loyle, Sean understood her expression of utter confidence as a side-effect of her hard-headedness and kindly remarked, "You don’t get my father, a man with nothing but unadulterated adoration for Nancy and her mother. You might as well have offended him personally by slapping Nancy today. I don't even know if I can keep your job, Rose. You need to get out of here, it’s for your own good!"

How could Rose Loyle just leave when she had put so much effort into working for Bell Enterprises?

"We’ll cross the bridge when we get to it, Mr. Bell." NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Not too long after, someone from the Chairman's office came to Sean. "The Chairman requests your assistant, Mr. Sean."

Without making any extra remarks, Rose Loyle turned and left.

With quick strides, Sean pulled Rose from the doors with a plead, "You can always look for another job, Rose! I can still help u leave now, but there's nothing I’ll be able to do if you go there." "Thank you, Mr. Bell." Rose Loyle smiled.

Releasing the grip he had on her and straightening her back, the elegant and slim figure of Rose Loyle walked out.

Rose kept her attention on her cell phone the whole way to the Chairman's office.

Tapping on the voice-to-text software that would ensure the conversation to be had in the Chairman's office to be recorded as written notes, Rose ensured that whatever was recorded would be sent out without mistakes before placing her phone back into her pocket.

At the Chairman's office.

Entering the office, Rose was met with the irksome wails of Nancy Bell. It was a pitiful sight, Nancy sobbing elegantly at the side.

Rose fired a mocking sneer her way, her eyes holding evident disdain for Nancy's despicable actions.

As if embarrassed, Nancy wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand and glared at Rose.

"Rose Loyle?” Chairman Bell squinted, raking his eyes i n analysis over Rose.

Rose Loyle nodded calmly. "Yes, sir.”

"You come into my Bell Enterprises, and you hit Lady Bell? Who do you think you are, Rose Loyle? How dare you offend me?” The Chairman’s tone was dark and laced with danger.

Rose remained unfazed. "With all due respect, Chairman, I am not one to act harshly unprovoked." "What do you mean?"

"Miss Bell sent me to your son's room the other day, in an attempt to defile my innocence and reputation. Slapping her is a small retaliation," Rose replied.
