Chapter 59: Chapter 59

"Don’t sweat it! It was Rose who sniffed out the mole in the company! You might not know, but Linda,the HR Manager sent over from the head office, had been fiddling with the attendance records. She

only showed up for work 78 days in a year, yet she pocketed our full year’s salary and perfect attendance bonus. Oh, and don’t forget the year–end bonus." Kenneth said.

Louisa was taken aback, "How did Rose find out?"

"I’m not entirely sure, just heard from the grapevine that Rose was going to let Linda off the hook. But Linda strutted into the office, spouting a load of trash about Rose loud enough for everyone to hear. A

crowd gathered to watch the drama, and that’s when Rose pulled out the evidence and called the cops." Kenneth said.

"Rose did a great job. She’s amazing!" Louisa was impressed how Rose kept her cool when faced with such a hostile ex–employee. She had some serious guts.

"Ms. Rose is truly remarkable! Young yet such a whiz in business!"

’Totally! She’s definitely got the Collins’ business smarts running in her veins."

"She’s definitely a chip off the old Collins block. Just as brilliant as her brothers!"

"Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Collins, for having such a wonderful and beautiful daughter. The company’s in good hands, you guys can breathe easy now."

Kenneth and Louisa, hearing all the praises, couldn’t help but feel elated.

Initially, they handed the company to Rose just to keep her busy. Little did they know she would do such a stellar job. It was a sight to behold.

Serena, eavesdropping from a corner, was green with envy as Rose stole the spotlight again. Yet she kept a smile on her face, and walked in with some goodies. "Mom, Dad, I’m back. Guess what I got for

you?"

"Is it from Bright Restaurant?" Louisa asked.

"Yes, I heard their stuff is a tough get. Even if you’re loaded, you still have to queue up for a spot!" Serena said.

"Serena, you went queuing for this?" Louisa was instantly concerned.

"As long as it makes you happy, I don’t mind the wait." Serena unpacked the items and said with a smile, "Let’s eat while it’s still hot!"

In reality, it was the bodyguard who had to queue. Serena only took the food home after it was handed to her. It took minimal effort on her part, but Louisa was already touched. Maybe she could use this

trick more often to win their hearts.

"You’re a Collins heiress, let the staff take care of these things next time." Kenneth said.

Upon hearing this, Serena hugged Kenneth again, "I know you care about me, Dad. I only dare to hug you like this when sis isn’t around. Now, let’s sit down and eat!".

Kenneth felt guilty upon hearing this. Serena was the daughter they raised as their own. With Rose’s return, her status indeed took a hit. She must be feeling upset.

"Even with Rose back, you’re still our daughter. We’ll always look out for you in your future married life." Louisa gently stroked her head, her affection for Serena profound.

"Thank you!" Serena beamed, "I don’t need anything. As long as I can be with you, take care of you, I’m content."

"You silly child." Louisa chuckled, her heart twinged with a hint of sadness. Her daughter was growing up too fast.

Elsewhere.

Carl placed a document in front of Romeo, "Mr. McMillian, this needs your signature. I’ve checked it, everything’s in order."

For small–scale contracts like this, Carl would check them first for Romeo.

Romeo was always busy, and he usually didn’t handle such minor contracts himself.

Romeo flashed a smile, signed the contract with a flourish.,

"Mr. McMillian, you seem to be in a good mood today?" Carl asked.

Did he make a billion–dollar deal, Or maybe he pulled one over on a rival? Or did he just acquire a couple of powerhouse companies?

If not, then why the grin that won’t leave his face?

"Look up popular restaurants and places of interest that young women might enjoy in the area."

Hearing Romeo’s words, Carl had an ’aha’ moment. So, his good mood has something to do with Ms. Rose! When he walked into the office earlier, he saw Romeo on the phone with someone. Could that someone be Ms. Rose?

"Mr. McMillian, you’re taking quite an interest in Ms. Rose, aren’t you?"

In the past, Romeo never asked him to search for popular restaurants and attractions. A simple meal was enough before returning to work. But ever since he met Ms. Rose, the aloof Romeo seemed to be warming up. At least his eyes were no longer only occupied by work.

"It can’t be all about work. It’s time to consider a personal life,"

Hearing Romeo say this, Carl was left with a few questions in his mind.

"Mr. McMillian, are you talking about me?"

"Who else?" Romeo glanced at him, saying nonchalantly, "When you have a girlfriend, you won’t have to work weekends, and your pay will increase."

Has Romeo changed? Could Ms. Rose have such an allure that she introduced Romeo to the sweetness of love?

"Thank you! I’ll get a girlfriend as soon as I can."

As Carl said this, preparing to leave with his files, he saw Romeo’s phone light up with a new message.

What surprised Carl was not the message but Romeo’s lock screen and home screen wallpaper: a girl’s silhouette. And it was Ms. Rose!

"Like what you see?" Romeo noticed his gaze and asked casually.

"No, I wouldn’t dare look at Ms. Rose..." Carl lowered his head, no longer daring to look.

"So you’re saying she’s not good–looking?"

"Of course not..." Carl said, breaking out in a cold sweat, "Ms. Rose is so beautiful. Words can’t describe her beauty. She is like a fairy descended to earth, unique in the world. You two are a match made in heaven."

Romeo smiled and said, "You sure have a way with words."

"I’m not very cultured, and it’s just that Ms. Rose’s beauty has inspired all the beautiful words in my mind. It’s because Ms..Rose is so beautiful!"

"Carl."

"Yes, Mr. McMillian, what do you need?" Carl felt a bit uneasy.

"Have I ever treated you poorly since you started working with me at eight?"

Romeo’s question took Carl aback.

"No, you’ve given me the highest salary in the industry! I’m delighted!"

"No, you can’t just look at the present, be content with the status quo."

Carl was a bit puzzled.

"From this month on, your salary will be doubled."
