C14 Her Savior

Was Rose out of her mind?

For a moment, she wanted to tell Bright about Doris.

She shifted her gaze and poured herself some red wine to drink to calm her disturbed mind.

Bright, on the other hand, noticed that something was bothering her. "What's wrong? Are you okay?" he asked.

"I'm fine," she replied as she took a serviette to wipe the alcohol on the corner of her lips. "Excuse me for a moment, Mr. Lee. I need to use the restroom."

Quickly, she got up and walked out of the room.

Bright watched her slender back as she left and frowned. He drank up the wine in his glass. For some reason, he felt restless.

Rose went into the restroom and leaned against one of the compartments. She was deep in thought.

After some time, the crisp sound of high heels was heard, and then a thud. Someone threw a phone on the washing table.

"I'm so angry right now. Manager Don already arranged for me to sit beside Mr. Lee to serve him if he needed anything, but Mr. Lee sat beside Rose instead. He didn't even look at me! Do you think I can just let it go?"

"What can you do if you're not angry? I heard Mr. Daughtler is the one in charge of this project, but all the same, I didn't expect Mr. Lee to sit beside her. There must be something fishy going on between them."

"Rose is just a scheming woman. She's always pretending to be aloof and innocent. First, she seduced Mr. Diaz to become the chief designer. Then, she went to City J and climbed into Mr. Lee's bed. It's such a pity that Mr. Diaz is still lying in the hospital."

"So if at all you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not having the skill to seduce men appropriately."

"Isn't someone who sleeps with a thousand men referred to as a loose woman? Who cares?"

"Bang!"

Rose pushed open the door and walked out of the compartment with a huge smile on her face.

The female colleague, who was touching up her makeup, saw Rose and opened her eyes wide in embarrassment. With lipstick in her hand, she began to shake.

The air was heavy with deep silence and no one dared to open their mouths to break it.

Rose walked elegantly to the sink and washed her hands calmly. She took out red lipstick and carefully drew the perfect and full shape of her lips.

"You don't care, but you want to throw your chest in front of Mr. Lee," Rose said as her eyes landed on her colleague's deep V neckline. It was very eye-catching. "Just so you know, there's nothing fair in this world. The winner is the greatest. If you can't get what you want, shut your mouth and stop talking nonsense. Mr. Lee won't look at you twice if you speak without thinking."

When she was done mocking these brainless women, she turned around and left them in shock.

Right from time, she was never willing to participate in petty quarrels, but she was not a soft persimmon that could be trampled on.

On her way back to the private room, Rose was stopped by a hooting voice from behind. "Isn't this Miss Linder, our beauty's biggest designer?"

Rose turned around and saw that she knew the person. It was Steve Lambert, her previous project's boss who turned 45 this year.

He was still in arrears for the project and was yet to sign it. In addition, he had connections in City Y, so she didn't want to offend him.

"Hello, Mr. Lambert." She still had to greet this rascal with a smile.

"I haven't seen you for quite a long time. You're even more beautiful now," he said as his pair of small eyes swept over Rose from head to toe before finally resting on her well-shaped buttocks.

This kind of vulgar gaze made Rose shrink in disgust. "Mr. Lambert, I still have a client here. I will have to take my leave now. I'll treat you to a meal some other time."

She wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. She had just taken two steps when he stepped forward to block her way. "Come on, Miss Linder, don't be in such a hurry. I am also your client, remember? You don't need to treat me to a meal another day. You can just accompany me for a few drinks. That's all."

"How can a few drinks satisfy you, Mr. Lambert? Can't we have a drink some other day?" Rose asked as she took two steps back without leaving a trace, thereby pulling herself away from him. The smell of alcohol on his body made her nauseous. "I still owe my sister-in-law a meal. We can have a meal together."

"Is that so?" He laughed and said, "It just so happens that your sister-in-law is with me today. She also told me that she wants to see you. Why don't we go together to meet her?"

"What a coincidence!" Although Rose looked relaxed, her heart was very heavy.

If he was eating with his wife, he wouldn't dare to invite her over. He just said that to calm her nerves.

How could she not figure out what he had in mind? All the same, she didn't want to offend him, so she had to keep up with the smile. This was very tedious for her.

"All right, Mr. Lambert. Let's do it this way. How about I pacify the client here first before coming over to accompany you and sister-in-law? I can't just leave the client there. It would be so unprofessional of me." All Rose wanted to do was to enter the private room. Steve couldn't do anything to her either.

But Mr. Lambert was a man of courage. Right from when he saw her, he didn't have any intention of letting her out of his sight.

"Don't worry about that. Just come with me. I'll ask my assistant to greet your client. Steve will settle this matter for you. No one will dare to bully you while I'm here!" he said proudly as he patted his chest twice.

At that moment, he reached out and held Rose by the waist. Her facial expression changed on the spot.

She wanted to break free from him, but he closed in on her. Rose was forced to lean against the wall.

"Your body smells so good, Miss Linder," he said as he fiercely inhaled her body fragrance.

"Mr. Lambert, it will be a misunderstanding if sister-in-law sees us like this," Rose said in a panic.

"Misunderstanding? Even if I sleep with you here and now, there's nothing she can do. Why don't you just follow me? The house, cars, jewelry, money... It will all be yours," Sun revealed the dirty thoughts that were in his mind all along.

A man who had a wife and still indulged in extramarital affairs was the most disgusting creature. Although Rose was angry, she didn't dare to say anything. She developed a stomach ache.

The society had its set of rules. If you didn't abide by the rules, you won't be able to play!

"Miss Linder, it is better for a woman to be more pragmatic while she is still young and beautiful," he said in a bid to persuade her. His large hands were so impudent that he wanted to push them towards her chest. He couldn't help but smile proudly.

Rose bit her lower lip in anger and took a deep breath. Secretly, she raised her right foot...

"Ah..." All of a sudden, there was a sound like that of a pig being slaughtered.

Rose saw that Steve's hand was held by Bright from behind and twisted into a terrifying position.

Steve, who was laughing wildly some seconds ago, was in so much pain right now. He looked so embarrassed.

At that moment, Bright was like a god that appeared from nowhere. He was so handsome.

She had never looked forward to his appearance as much as she did right now.

Simply put, he was her savior!

"Who do you think you are? How dare you touch me? Are you tired of living?" Steve was still trying to sound brave.

With this show of "bravery", Bright twisted his arm further and he cried out in pain. "How dare you touch my woman? What gave you the courage to do so?" Bright asked.

With a cruel smile on his face, Bright let go of him and pushed him away. He collapsed to the ground with a heavy thud.

Daniel Bailey, who was watching the scene, handed Bright a tissue that he used to wipe his hands carefully. "Remove the surveillance camera and take him to the police station. I never want to set eyes on him again in the future."

"All right," Daniel said with a nod.

Bright looked at Rose, who was still shocked about the turn of events. He saw that her face was pale and her white forehead was covered in sweat. "Are you so scared?"

Rose held the wall with one hand and pressed her abdomen with the other. She frowned slightly and asked, "Who is scared?"

As soon as she spoke, she leaned against the wall and slid down gently. Bright quickly stepped forward to support her. She leaned on him and rested her head weakly on his shoulder.

Seeing Rose like this, Bright shifted his gaze towards Steve, whose face was contorted in pain. "If anything happens to her, be rest assured that your entire family will be buried alive!"

Instantly, Steve froze when he saw Bright's murderous gaze. With his eyes filled with tears, he was so lost that he didn't know the kind of person he had offended.
