Chapter 244
Zetty hugged Rose as soon as she got out of bed." Where were you last night, Mommy? I miss you!"
Rose patted Zetty s head and spoke to her gently, "Did you and Daddy fight last night, and you skipped dinner too? You must be starving!" Zetty patted her stomach and said sweetly, "Daddy cooked some noodle soup for me last night, Mommy. I didn't starve."
"He cooked noodle soup for you?" Rose was shocked.
"Mm." Zetty nodded.
Rose gently pinched Zetty's cheeks. "I told you that he had a kind heart under his cold demeanor. Don't give him any trouble next time!"
Zetty nodded obediently. "I won't, Mommy."
Rose sent the three children to the kindergarten after breakfast, then rushed to the Bell Enterprise office.
It was her first day at work in Bell Enterprise.
To present a good first impression to her colleagues, she put on some light makeup and wore a proper office suit. Gone was her pure and clean image, and instead she looked diligent and capable. She attracted many eyes when she stepped into the Central Building of Bell Enterprise.
She had a fresh and delicate look and carried herself confidently, standing out amid the drab crowd.
"Who is she?"
"Such a beautiful woman. Does she work in PR?"
The whispers stopped when they saw Rose walking straight toward Sean's office.
"Is she President Bell's girlfriend?"
"Not necessarily. She might be the new secretary.
Look at her office suit."
When Rose arrived at the president's office, she happened to meet Nancy who had come out from inside. Nancy narrowed her eyes. She placed her hands in her pockets and walked over on her red high heels. "Why are you here, Rose Loyle?" She sounded hostile.
Rose tried to maintain her professionalism. "President Bell hired me as his assistant. Didn't you know that?" Nancy chuckled. "Naha, assistant? That's a glamorous title for a mistress."
Rose was not angry, but instead, she smiled. "Please don't use your morals to judge other people, Miss Bell."
Nancy was instantly furious. She lifted her hand and prepared to slap Rose's face when her hand was gripped by Sean who suddenly appeared behind her.
"Don't be rude toward my assistant, Nancy."
Nancy angrily put down her hand and spoke through gritted teeth, "Brother, you should know that Rose is Jay Ares's ex-wife."
"I know that," Sean said impassively.
Nancy's eyes went wide. "Don't you know that Sir Ares never lets anyone touch his used goods? You're inviting danger. Aren't you afraid that you'll lose more than you gain?" Sean smiled calmly. "Did you think of that when you first sent Rose to my room?"
Nancy instantly felt guilty when Sean called her out." Nonsense, since when have I sent her to your room?" She said, visibly flustered.
Rose glared at Nancy coldly. "I'd like an explanation, Ms. Bell."
Nancy decided to burn her bridges. "You're only a daughter born out of wedlock and driven out of your family, Rose Doyle. What can you possibly do to me?"
