Chapter 79: Chapter 79

After lunch, Rosemary headed back to the office.

Just as she reached the 20th floor and the elevator doors opened, she heard Dean’s voice echoing from afar.

At that moment, Dean was blocking a group of seven or eight male employees outside the office, not letting them in.

One of the men, dressed in a white shirt, was pleading. "Dean, I really fancy Ms. Rose..."

"Where do you get the nerve? Do you have a house and car in Summerfield?"

The man in the white shirt shook his head.

"How much do you have in savings?"

"Three hundred dollars..."

"You dare to fancy Ms. Rose with only three hundred dollars?" Dean was getting angry.

"Dean, I genuinely fancy Ms. Rose. I’ll work hard to make money..."

Another male employee hurriedly stepped forward, smiling as he spoke, "Dean, I have an apartment in the city center, a car worth 100,000 US dollars, and my monthly salary has already increased to 8,000.

Could you please help me place this love letter on Ms. Rose’s desk...?"

Looking at the somewhat balding man in front of him, Dean suppressed the urge to curse and communicated with him patiently.

"Look, you’re 32 years old... Can you stop causing trouble! Ms. Rose is only 18, can you back off a bit?"

Another slightly effeminate man handed over a lunch box, "Dean, this is lunch I made for Ms. Rose when I went home at noon. Could you help me to deliver it to Ms. Rose’s office? If she eats it, she

will definitely feel blessed!"

"So, you fancy Ms. Rose too?"

The man nodded firmly, "Yes!"

"You’re not Ms. Rose’s type. She doesn’t like househusband types."

Dean scrutinized his appearance. His effeminate look would seem very odd next to Ms. Rose.

"I can change for Ms. Rose! If she likes muscular guys, I’ll work out! If she likes career–oriented men, I’ll work harder! No matter what Ms. Rose likes, I’ll strive to.. become her type!"

Dean patted him sympathetically on the shoulder, "Mate, take my advice, you’re miles away from being Ms. Rose’s type. Go home and rest."

"Dean, what do you think of me? A young, handsome boy with a somewhat immature look stepped forward.

He seemed sunny, carefree. Dean, remembered he graduated from a prestigious university abroad.

Young, highly educated, and from a well–off family, he even owned a villa.

But...

"Ms. Rose isn’t interested in boys like you."

"Why?" The boy looked puzzled.

"Dean, can you give us another chance? Help us deliver the gifts to Ms. Rose..."

Dean glanced at his watch, "Ms. Rose is very punctual, she should be arriving at the office soon. You best leave, or she’ll dig up your past laziness!"

Upon hearing this, everyone hastily left, not wanting Ms. Rose to uncover their past slacking off.

They took the staff elevator, separate from the VIP elevator Rosemary used, so they didn’t run into each other.

Rosemary, in high heels, strolled leisurely towards her office. As she walked past Dean, she raised an eyebrow, "Seems like you’ve been quite busy?"

"Ms. Rose, you finally showed up..."

Dean had been talking so much his mouth was parched. He took a big gulp from his water cup before continuing, "They’re all so full of themselves, compared to Romeo, it’s Just ridiculous..."

At the mention of Romeo, Rosemary gave him a warning look.

Dean didn’t dare to continue, he wiped the residual water from his lips and said, "What I meant was, they’re not good enough for you!"

Rosemary entered the office, cheerfully saying, "Dean, I’m starting to think being an assistant might not be your thing."

Dean was excited, "Ms. Rose, are you about to give me a raise and a promotion? I mean, I did save you from a lot of headaches, but you don’t have to be this touched.... it’s all in a day’s work for me."

"Consider becoming a matchmaker at a marriage agency," Rosemary suggested as she opened the file,

"You have the potential to excel in this role and should not be overlooked."

Several question marks popped up in Dean’s mind. He definitely didn’t want to be a matchmaker!

"Or a security guard."

"Ms. Rose, I’m only trying to help!" Dean whined, leaning in closer, "Do you know how much effort I put into keeping them at bay? My lips are dry from all the talking! It hasn’t been easy, you know..."

Before he could finish, there was a knock on the door. It was Oscar!

Dean’s eyes almost popped out of his head. Wasn’t Oscar taken to the police station for questioning this morning? How did he get out so fast? Faster than he expected...

Rosemary looked up, her gaze meeting Oscar’s in a silent standoff.

Dean wished he could just disappear...

"The coffee at the police station is terrible." Oscar sat down across from Rosemary with a sly grin, "It’s several levels below the coffee we have at the office..."

Rosemary smirked, "The coffee bean the staff gifted you is expensive, no wonder it’s better."

Oscar was taken aback, how did she know a staff member had gifted him coffee bean!

"Better get used to it, Mr. Oscar, you never know when you might end up back in the station...."

"Ha ha ha..." Oscar laughed uproariously, "Who knows who’ll end up at the police station. Ever heard the saying, ’what goes around comes around"?"

Dean was worried, was this old fox planning to frame Ms. Rose?!

If he knew about her powerful backing, he wouldn’t dare to speak to Ms. Rose like this!

"All I’ve heard is ’what you sow, so shall you reap, and good people will be rewarded."

Oscar’s face turned sour at these words.

Amid the tense atmosphere, Rosemary smirked and confidently said,.

"Better be careful when you step out, Mr. Oscar, as ’what goes around comes around’. Bad deeds won’t go unpunished, they’re just waiting for the right time to strike back. When the time comes, it’s

game over."

Oscar didn’t expect her to curse him like this, he scoffed, "Well, let’s wait and see. I just came here to tell you, nothing is decided yet, we’ll take it one step at a time."

Watching his arrogant back as he left, Dean was fuming, "Who does he think he is? If there was enough evidence, he’d be behind bars! How dare he act so brash in front of you."

"He won’t be smug for long." Rosemary dismissed him nonchalantly, continuing to read her files.

"Ms. Rose, there’s something I don’t understand. You have such a powerful ally, why don’t you use Romeo’s influence to deal with Mr. Oscar?"

By all accounts, Romeo has a lot of clout and should have no problem dealing with a small fry like
