C8 Does Ms. Linder Have a Husband?

Theodore carried a light on his back, and the outline of his face was clearly carved by the light.

He stepped back, and the light fell on the drenched security guard behind him. "Ms. Donovan, you should thank him, he saved your life."

Audrey looked at the security guard. Her pupils slowly enlarged, and her mind went blank. She was stunned for a long time before she shouted in disbelief, "Impossible! I don't believe it!"

A thin smile appeared in Theodore’s eyes. "But I saw it with my own eyes."

Audrey looked up at Theodore, who was smiling. His smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes. Floating on the surface of the pool, making people feel that there was a distance between them that made them feel extremely unfamiliar.

"No... It's not like that!" Audrey was unwilling to accept reality, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Theodore did not pity Audrey at all. He turned slightly to the security guard and said, "Tell her."

"Ms. Donovan, I saved you." The fact that the security guard was drenched indicated the problem. "I'm also the one who helped you with artificial respiration."

"Don't say anymore!" Audrey covered her ears.

When she thought about how her chest and lips had been touched by the security guard, and how Theodore had seen it with his own eyes, she had the urge to kill someone.

"Get lost!" She shouted at the security guard. Audrey was so angry that her chest hurt.

The security guard glanced at Theodore, the latter nodded slightly and the security guard left.

Theodore didn’t stay any longer. He turned around and was about to leave.

Audrey's questioning voice sounded faintly in the night. "Why didn't you stop him? Why not you? Why did you do this to me?"

Theodore stopped in his tracks. His tall and straight back looked even more majestic under the moonlight.

He did not turn his head back. He just said lightly, "This is just your fault. You can't blame others."

"Can't blame others?" Audrey got up and stared at his back. "That Rose is not a good thing. You brought her to the cocktail party, but she left with Brother Bright! She was just using you as a stepping board!"

Theodore turned his head and leaned to the side. His peach blossom eyes narrowed and he listened quietly without saying anything.

Audrey thought that Theodore had heard her words. She took two steps forward and said, "Theodore, I'm the only one who is wholeheartedly devoted to you. Moreover, we also kissed under the witness of our parents. Uncle Daughtler and Auntie are also satisfied with me. They've even agreed to let me be your girlfriend. "

Audrey tried to reach out to his arm in an attempt to close the distance between them, but was dodged by Theodore with a smile. "There are many people who went on blind dates with me. Which of my parents doesn't like it? Could it be that every one of them is my girlfriend? I do like beautiful women, but I can’t take all of them. Therefore, Miss Donovan, please stop thinking so highly of myself as my girlfriend."

After saying that, Theodore left without looking back. The warm yellow light covered his body, making him look hazy.

Audrey stood where she was and clenched her fists in pain.

Theodore was no longer in the mood. He left the cocktail party, and as soon as he got in the car, he gave Bright a call.

"How’s Rose? Is she alright?"

Bright told him that Rose had been bullied by Zhao Yuana.

He tolerated Zhao Yuena for a long time, but this time, it could be considered as giving her a lesson.

"Pretty good." Bright looked at Rose, who was sitting in the backseat with him. She was using a towel to wipe her long hair.

"Send her back to the hotel - "

"That's it, I'm hanging up."

Bright ended the call, not giving Theodore the opportunity to care about Rose.

Rose’s long hair was like seaweed draping lazily, making her skin snow-white.

Her clear and transparent eyes, curved eyebrows, and slender eyelashes trembled slightly. Her delicate lips were like rose petals that were slightly opened, charming but unaware.

Rose saw that Bright had ended the call and said, "Mr. Lee, this road doesn't seem to be going to the Four Seasons Hotel... If you have something to do first, I'll take a taxi back to the hotel after getting out of the car."

"Isn’t Ms. Linder here to talk about cooperation?" Bright turned his head and naturally looked at Rose’s face.

"Yes." Rose slightly pursed her lips and lightly nodded her his head.

"As far as I know, there are many companies that came to Distance Group to discuss the collaboration of the City J's theater. The Brilliant Group is just one of them. Although it has a certain advantage, the final decision of this project will still be me." Bright’s casual conversation had hints, which made Rose feel a lot more pressured.

What did he mean?

Was he asking for an unspoken rule?

Bright had seen all kinds of beautiful women before. Someone like her shouldn't be able to intrigue his interest, right?

"If Ms. Linder is here to discuss the cooperation, then shouldn't I be the one who you should be fawning over the most? Now that this opportunity is in front of Ms. Linder, Ms. Linder is unmoved. Why is that so?" His handsome eyebrows slightly raised as he stared at her without blinking.

Rose tried her best to meet his gaze and didn’t change her expression. She was calm and composed. "Mr. Lee, I..."

Bright raised his finger to his thin lips and made a ‘shush’ gesture, indicating that she should not speak.

"Let me guess."

Rose’s heart was tightly gripped by that restless feeling. Being with Bright was simply torture. It drove her crazy, but she didn’t dare to offend him.

"Does Ms. Linder have a boyfriend?"

Rose shook her head. She didn’t have the time and mood to date a boyfriend.

"Then... you’re already married.

Rose was stunned and her beautiful eyes widened.

Only Mr. Gasper and her good friend Jane knew about her marriage. There should not be a third person who knew about it.

How could Bright have guessed it?

It was just a contractual marriage and was not considered a real marriage. Furthermore, there were three more months left before reaching the three years deadline, and after that they would divorce each other.

Should she admit it or not?

Rose’s mind was in a mess. In addition, Bright was very close at the moment, and the car was filled with his scent. That kind of faint and pleasant smell was like the freshness of an ocean. It was restrained and not flamboyant, but it was powerful.

This made Rose recall that night five years ago. She was almost torn apart by this seemingly indifferent but passionate man on the bed. She had only experienced that kind of madness once in her life.

Unconsciously, her fair face was dyed with a faint red color, and her ears were also burning.

Why did she think of this? Furthermore, he was by her side. How could she let her imagination run wild?

Bright also noticed her strange behavior. Her sparkling white skin was pink and moist, and her brows were lowered. She was pure and gentle, and for some reason, he wanted to protect her.

"Is Ms. Linder hot?" Bright’s voice at this moment was incomparably bewitching.

Rose quickly shook her head to stop her thoughts and changed the topic. "Mr. Lee, please stop the car."

Bright Lee didn’t seem to hear her request and continued the sensitive topic, "Ms. Linder hasn’t answered my question yet. Are you already married?"
