Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife
Chapter 78

Chapter 78: Chapter 78

"What are you betting on?"

"I’m betting that your future partner is gonna be an absolute catch! I have no idea what he’ll be like, but I bet he’s gonna be good–looking, loaded, and high–status! He’s gonna be smitten by your beauty,

that’s for sure!"

"You got that much free time?" Rosemary asked carelessly "Can you handle the work of those five guys for me?"

"Ms. Rose, I just remembered I have something else to attend to, I’ll be right back," Dean replied quickly.

As he was about to leave, he heard a male voice.

"Mr. McMillian, these documents need your review"

That was Carl’s voice. He walked into Romeo’s office, hoping Romeo could make decisions on several projects.

Hearing this, Dean stopped, ’Ms. Rose, I think I just heard a man’s voice. You hiding a guy in your office or something?" On the other side, Carl seemed to have heard Dean’s voice and asked confusedly, "Mr. McMillian, who’s talking?"

Then, both Carl and Dean discovered their boss was on a video call.

Their faces were filled with shock.

Especially Dean, his mouth hung open in surprise.

"Ms. Rose you..."

Since when did Ms. Rose know such a big shot?

"You guys are on a video call?"

Holy moly!

Is he dreaming?

He saw that handsome face on Ms. Rose’s phone!

Romeo!

The world’s richest man, Romeo!

Didn’t people say he was cold–hearted and didn’t like women?

Why was he on a video call with Rosemary?

"Ms. Rose, you guys aren’t..."

"Rose, aren’t you going to introduce him?" Romeo’s voice was laced with interest. "Is this your assistant?"

Rose!

Rose!!

He actually called Ms. Rose "Rose"!.

It was such an affectionate nickname!

Rosemary thought to herself, what’s this guy up to?

"Mr. McMillian, greetings... I’m Dean, Rosemary’s assistant. It’s a great honor to meet you today!" Dean quickly bowed, showing utmost respect, "I wasn’t aware that you were having a video call. I apologize for the interruption... Are you Rosemary’s boyfriend?"

"Fiancé."

Hearing "fiancé", Dean was even more shocked.

Fiancé!

Romeo was Ms. Rose’s fiancé!

Ms. Rose was really something. Her fiancé was such a powerful man.

Not only in the company, but she could also have her way in the entire world!

"Thanks for the compliment earlier."

Dean didn’t expect that he had inadvertently praised Romeo. Good thing he didn’t say anything bad!

Otherwise, he might have gotten himself into trouble.

"I really can’t think of anyone more suitable for Ms. Rose than you, you guys are a match made in heaven!"

The men at the company were truly overestimating themselves. Ms. Rose’s fiancé is Romeo, and yet they still had the audacity to consider confessing their feelings to her after work.

"Mr. McMillian, you can rest assured that I will do everything in my power to protect Ms. Rose’s safety at the company and ensure that no other men get close to her. If you have any instructions, feel free to let me know. I am more than willing to serve you," Dean said.

Rosemary thought, Who do you work for exactly? Who pays your salary?!

"Rose, this employee is doing such a great job, shouldn’t we give him a raise?" Romeo said from the other end of the video call.

Upon hearing this, Dean immediately perked up, eyes full of anticipation as he looked at Rosemary.

"If you don’t leave now, I’ll donate your bonus this month to charity."

Upon hearing this, Dean nearly lost his footing in surprise and quickly got up, "I’m leaving right now!"

"Watch what you say when you leave."

"Got it, Ms. Rose. Rest assured, I won’t breathe a word about your relationship to anyone..." Dean wasn’t paying attention and bumped his head on the office door. Wincing in pain, he covered his

forehead and made a quick exit.

"Happy now?" Rosemary turned to the man on her phone, her tone laced with resignation.

Romeo flashed a triumphant grin, "Wouldn’t it be great if everyone knew about us?"

"Rose, when can I go public?" Romeo asked next.

Dean had mentioned someone in the office planning to confess to her? That’s just asking for trouble.

Looking at his handsome face, Rosemary felt overwhelmed, "I’m hanging up now."

"Hold on."

"What is it?"

"I just want to see you." Romeo leaned his handsome face closer to the camera, his eyes filled with deep affection. "Don’t you have work to do?" Rosemary had heard Carl’s voice earlier and knew Romeo

had other things to take care of. "Do I?" Romeo’s gaze fell on Carl.

Carl braced himself to answer, "No..."

"If you’ve got nothing to do, why did you come in?" Rosemary was surprised that even Carl would lie. All thanks to Romeo.

"Ms. Rose... I came to see if Mr. McMillian needed anything. I didn’t expect that all he needed was you. I’ll just be going then..."

With that, Carl placed the files on the table and out of Rosemary’s view, he put his hands together in a silent plea for Romeo to get to work. After all, these projects were urgent and many employees were

waiting for him!

Romeo gave a nod of agreement. Carl quickly made his exit.

The morning quickly passed with Romeo’s persistent attention. By noon, Romeo was already waiting for her downstairs.

As soon as Rosemary got in the car, he pulled her onto his lap.

"Romeo, you’re crossing the line!"

Rosemary tried to get up, but he held her tightly.

"If you squirm, I’ll kiss you."

Rosemary glared at his smug face, "Could you be any more shameless?"

"I could." Romeo planted a kiss on her lips without warning.

Her lips were soft, and Romeo had intended to tease her playfully. However, after their kiss, he yearned for more sweetness.

Her waist was slender, and even through their clothes, Romeo could feel the softness of her skin underneath.

"Romeo!" Rosemary attempted to push him away, but his other hand firmly grasped the back of her head,pulling her closer as he fervently absorbed her essence.

His kiss was like a fierce storm, catching Rosemary off guard and rendering her defenseless. She pushed him away again, "Enough..."

Although her voice sounded like a warning, to Romeo, it seemed like a tender whisper, accompanied by a playful undertone.

Normally composed and self–controlled, he was now teetering on the edge of losing control.

Rosemary sensed his increasingly intense persistence and pushed him away forcefully, "Romeo, if you continue like this, I will be angry!"

Romeo halted his actions, yet his eyes were still filled with profound affection.

"Rose..."

Carl felt like he’d been hit by a truck...

Does no one care about his feelings?

Don’t single people déserve respect?!

Who knows how he feels driving them around right now? Nothing but agony!

He felt like a third wheel!

After what seemed like an eternity, their long kiss finally ended.

Romeo’s eyes were still somewhat dazed, his voice full of affection, "Rose, I like you."

Rosemary’s shoulders rose and fell slightly, still catching her breath.

Romeo’s eyes were full of love, "I really like you."

"Is your company still hiring?" Romeo continued.

"Huh?" Rosemary didn’t understand what he meant.

"I want to be your assistant, or your personal bodyguard. I can clean your office. I’ll do anything."

"Can’t you have a bit of ambition?" Rosemary responded exasperatedly.

"Is it unambitious to do things for a woman you like?" Romeo said softly, "Then I guess I’ll be unambitious for the rest of my life."

’Rosemary was touched by his sincerity. His gaze was genuine, his expression single–minded.

"I don’t like Serena." Romeo cupped her face, speaking slowly, "The only one who can move me is you. It was you in the past, it’s you now, and it will be you in the future."

"I got it." Rosemary didn’t expect him to be so good at sweet talk. She turned her head to look out the window, pretending to be interested in the scenery.

Romeo flashed a devilish grin, "Your face is red. Rose, are you blushing?" Romeo affectionately teased her, "You’re so cute."

Rosemary didn’t reply.

Before she met Romeo, no one had ever called her cute. The most common word used to describe her was cold and aloof.

Romeo cupped her face, "You look great when you’re shy, when you’re angry, when you’re jealous... even more so."

"When am I jealous?"

"This morning." Romeo held her face in his hands, "You were so cold to me."

Rosemary didn’t think she was jealous, although she didn’t like Serena’s behavior, she wasn’t angry or jealous.

"If you don’t mind, next time another woman approaches me..." Römen teased, waiting for her reaction.

"Is there a next time?" Rosemary raised an eyebrow, her tone carrying a hint of warning...

Romeo smiled, his eyes filled with adoration and joy, "I promise, there definitely won’t be a next time."

Carl thought to himself in despair, I’m begging you guys, please stop!!

Can they think about his feelings for a sec, maybe take their lovey–dovey stuff somewhere else?!

What the heck did he do to deserve this kind of torment...
