With You For the Rest of My Life

Chapter 211 The Way To Meet Her

"Playboy?" Jim nodded and said, "to be honest, I like this title."

Everyone in Ringle Land knew Jim's name. He had flirted with countless women but never been serious with any of them.

The only special one was the woman in front of him.

Jim looked at Rose with a complicated look.

"Rose, Austin has booked a hotel for me before I came to Ringle Land this time. I'm a little tired after the long flight. I'll go to the hotel to have a rest first and go to your company to see you tomorrow. How do you think?" Tina hadn't recovered from the jet lag yet. Her head was still aching now. Seeing that Rose had a guest, she didn't want to disturb her and wanted to go back to have a rest.

"Do you want to rest at my house?" Rose asked Tina with concern.

"No, thanks. I've already checked in. Don't leave me alone tomorrow!" Tina stood up and said to Rose.

"Well, I promise you to spare a whole day to travel around Ringle Land with you tomorrow." The celebration party hadn't started yet, and Rose couldn't leave now. Thus she had to arrange someone to escort Tina to the hotel first.

After Tina left, Jim shook his head and said, "Whoh, look, you treat me differently from others even though we are all your good friends. Every time I ask you out, you have various reasons to refuse. While when others ask you out, you would spare a day to accompany her."

"That's my good friend. We haven't seen each other for a long time." Rose straightened her dress in front of the mirror.

"If I leave for a while, will you miss me and spare some time to accompany me then?" Jim stood behind Rose and looked at her in the mirror.

There was a hint of unspoken emotion in his eyes.

Rose's hand that was tidying up the dress paused, and a faint smile appeared on her lips. "You words might make me think that you want something from me."

After saying that, Rose was about to leave, but Jim held her slender waist from behind. His forearms were strong and solid, preventing her from escaping.

"What if I do have an intention? Didn't you say that? I'm a playboy. Of course I have to show my love to all beautiful ladies to show my respect. And you, Rose, you are just so beautiful. " Jim said to Rose in an ambiguous tone.

This man was so dangerous with a bit of bewitching charm.

But unfortunately, it didn't work for Rose.

Rose stretched out her hands, trying to untie Jim's arm, but failed. She could only raise a smile and said, "Jim, don't forget that you investigated my past. I'm married. Even playboys should have some bottom line. "

"I think my bottom line might be you." Jim let go of Rose and said jokingly, "I thought it's impossible for you to maintain your marriage with Burke."

"I knew it's impossible for us to be back to a nice couple. But, Jim, I've always treated you as my friend." Rose tucked her hair behind her ear.

Hearing this, Jim burst into laughter and said casually, "I'm sorry. I was just kidding. Did I scare you?"

"No." Rose shrugged, "It's just that this kind of jokes are not funny. Don't play it again. I will be scared."

"Got it." Jim nodded and said, "Rose, you have no sense of humor."

At the same time, before Rose could think of a way to reply, Secretary Chen pushed the door open and came in. When she saw Jim, she greeted him and said, "Mrs. Lin, the party has begun. We are waiting for you to make a speech."

"Okay, I'll be there soon." Rose nodded and checked herself in the mirror before walking out of the lounge gracefully.

"Rose." Jim suddenly called her.

Rose stopped and turned around.

"You look gorgeous today. Good luck." Jim said sincerely.

Today, Rose exhibited the kind of stunning beauty. She is not the delicate little girl crying on the plane three years ago any more, but a thorny rose in the business world.

That's exactly Jim's taste for ideal women.

"Thank you." Rose smiled and left with Secretary Chen.

Watching Rose's figure leave, the smile on Jim's face gradually disappeared, and there was only a complicated look left.

He really wanted to get this woman.

But he knew that this woman had thorns. If he was not careful, his hand would be full of blood.

"Next, let's welcome the president of the Cloud Group, Rose, to give a speech on the stage!" The host said with a big smile on the stage.

Rose lifted her hemline and walked on the stage confidently.

The hall was full of guests, including many invited business elites and reporters.

As a firm invested by Chinese, the Cloud Group had become a listed company with great potential in just three years. Not only did it receive attention from Ringle Land, but also some domestic media.

Rose took the microphone from the host and walked towards the center of the stage step by step under the spotlight.

She used to be in the spotlight for so many times, but she was never the protagonist. She appeared only as someone's daughter or wife.

Today was different.

She had been through all the difficulties that other people hardly knew.

"I would like to thank everyone to spend your valuable time and attend the celebration party of the Cloud Group today." Rose glanced around the guest seats and gave an impeccable smile.

Among the guests, Austin kept his eyes on the gorgeous woman on the stage.

At the same time, on the other side of the earth, there was another person who was keeping his eyes on Rose.

In the CEO office of headquarter building of the Gu Group, only the light of the computer screen was still flickering.

Burke sat at his desk. It was early morning in China, eight hours earlier than Ringle Land.

Burke stared at the woman on the screen for a long time.

She had lost a lot of weight, but she was much more elegant, confident and calm than before. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

She must have had a happy time after she left him.

In the past, when she was with him, she always liked to cry, often with sadness.

But now, she stood in the center of the stage, giving a bilingual speech in fluent Chinese and English.

Burke had never imagined that the woman who used to rely on him would have such a moment.

She was wearing a slim ball dress coupling with elegant and graceful hairstyle. Her smile was so confident that he could not recognize her.

That's right. It has been three years. They haven't met each other for three years.

Everything had changed, so had everyone.

But his heart had never changed.

Burke reached out his hand and touched the beautiful face on the computer screen with his fingers, depressed.

He didn't know how to cherish her until he had lost her. Only then did he know his heart clearly.
