Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife
Chapter 623

Chapter 623: Chapter 623

"Never mind, that’s all water under the bridge." Rosemary didn’t want to waste her time with them, so she turned her gaze towards Hunter.

Getting the hint from his sister, Hunter finally declared the meeting open.

Perhaps it was due to Rosemary’s new position, the meeting seemed more tense than usual. Few dared to speak, each of them quietly contemplating if Rosemary would use her power to settle personal scores.

Everyone was on pins and needles. Even those reporting on their work were unusually subdued, not daring to steal Rosemary’s thunder.

When it was Rosemary’s turn to report on the progress of her work, she was composed, speaking about the recent accomplishments of the company one by one, instantly earning a round of hearty applause.

The achievements of this young lady were truly more dazzling than any of theirs. There was no need for them to deliberately give way.

Who would have thought that such a young lady could take the company to a new level?

After the applause, Hunter added, "All these great achievements of the company are due to Ms. Rose, who regularly conducts remote meetings and instructs the staff. The biggest credit goes to Ms. Rose. Let’s give another round of applause to her."

The crowd erupted into another round of applause, this time even more enthusiastic than before.

"Ms. Rose really knows how to juggle her studies and work."

"Such a young age, and her ability is so outstanding. She is definitely a talent for the future."

"The Collins family really produces talents. The corporation has achieved unprecedented glory under the leadership of Mr. Collins, and with the help of Ms. Rose in the future, it will be even more powerful."

"Looking forward to Collins Corporation stepping onto a bigger, higher stage."

The flattering comments made Rosemary feel bored. Before they knew about her identity, they were baring their fangs at her. Now they were praising her as a talent.

"Any other questions?" Hunter looked at everyone present. Seeing them shake their heads, having nothing else to say, he declared, "Meeting adjourned."

Everyone got up. Before leaving the room, they each came to Rosemary.

"Ms. Rose, I didn’t get a chance to introduce myself earlier. I’m Dorothy, in charge of the Collins Mineral Water Co., Ltd. in Summerfield."

"Hi, Ms. Dorothy." Rosemary shook her hand.

"I’m Erica, in charge of the Collins Corporation’s furniture company in Summerfield."

"Hello, Ms. Erica." Rosemary nodded, shaking her hand as well.

"My name is Patricia, in charge of the Collins Corporation’s cosmetic company in Summerfield. I’m delighted to meet you today."

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Patricia." Rosemary shook her hand in a polite manner.

After a flurry of people tried to get closer to Rosemary, she said, "Thank you all for your enthusiasm. I have other matters to attend to, so we’ll chat another time."

Only then did they stop crowding around her and bid her goodbye.

When everyone had left, Hunter invited his sister to rest in his office.

Walking towards the office, Rosemary looked up and asked, "Hunter, when did I agree to take over more than half of the corporation’s business? Is this a spur-of-the-moment decision, or have you been planning this for a while?"

The corners of Hunter’s mouth curled into a gentle smile.

"You’ve been doing such a fabulous job running the company. I figured I might as well hand over a chunk of the conglomerate to you. I’ve seen you handle several businesses efficiently, so I thought, what’s one more? I trust you, Rose."

So, Hunter didn’t mind her juggling multiple businesses and even believed she could handle more.

Should she feel flattered or overwhelmed?

"Also, we’re planning to announce your identity to the world." Hunter shared this in the elevator, looking at his sister affectionately.

"Oh." Rosemary’s reaction was nonchalant, as if she had been expecting this news for a long time. Her expression remained calm.

Hunter seemed a bit surprised. Did Rosemary not want her identity to be known to the world? Or had she been anticipating this for so long that the initial excitement had worn off?

"We messed up," Hunter confessed. "We were initially worried about how our grandparents would take it, and we didn’t want a massive influx of relatives and friends disturbing you, so we kept it under wraps."

Rosemary’s concerns were elsewhere. The power forces behind the scenes hadn’t been completely eradicated.

With less than a month until the announcement...

"What are you thinking, Rose?" Hunter asked, noticing her deep in thought.

"Nothing." Rosemary shifted her gaze. She would have to deal with whatever came her way. She knew Clark was probably speeding up his own plans.

As the elevator doors slid open, Rosemary followed Hunter through the well-lit, spacious corridor that showcased the grandeur of the Collins Group. Every corner, every piece of decor, spoke volumes about their lofty status and refined taste.

Hunter pushed open the door to his office and gestured for Rose to enter. Julian was at the door.

"Miss Rose, I’ll make you a cup of coffee. Mr. Collins has stocked up on so many coffee beans, they’re almost reaching their expiry date! And Mr. Collins was planning on picking you up before the meeting, but when he reached the garage, your car was already there, and you’d already headed out."

Hunter hadn’t expected such a chatty Julian. He gave him a side glance and Julian stifled his laughter.

"Hunter, you were going to pick me up?" Rosemary asked, her eyes gleaming. "I know my way around. There was no need."

"Just thought I’d help out since it’s your first day here." Hunter guided her over to the seating area. "Come sit here."

Rosemary settled into the couch, taking in the ambiance of Hunter’s office. The stately, yet understated decor mirrored Hunter’s personality.

The office was even more spacious and tastefully decorated than her office at Queen Abby.

"We’ve got your favorite snacks here." Hunter suddenly stood up to fetch them. "Take a look and see which one you want. I’ll help you open it."

"I can do it myself." Rosemary was surprised to find that Hunter had stocked up on so many of her favorite snacks.

It reminded her of her visit to Romeo’s office, where he had a whole cabinet full of snacks waiting for her.

It was clear that Hunter had been looking forward to her visit.

With that thought, her eyes softened. She opened a snack, tasted one, and then offered it to Hunter.

"Try one."

Hunter usually didn’t indulge in snacks, but seeing the invitation in Rose’s eyes, he accepted and took a bite, his gaze filled with affection.

"How’s everything with the Temple family?" Hunter asked casually. "Did Crystal’s parents seem to be feeling any better when you visited?"

"Losing their only daughter has been hard on them. They’re still grieving. Celeste has fainted a few times from crying, and Alger almost collapsed," Rose shared honestly.
