Bright’s deep eyes were tinged with dark light, showing a hint of playfulness. He stared at her for a moment, and his serene eyes reflected her fair and delicate face.
Rose became a little feverish from his gaze, so she quietly looked away.
“You don’t want to take it and have a look?” Bright raised his eyebrows a little.
How could she be so calm and not curious at all about what he was holding?
“Mr. Lee, even though money has many benefits and I also like money, not everything can be settled with money. Especially something like posing as Mrs. Lee. What is fake will always be fake. It will never become real.” Rose looked at the thin envelope. “Mr. Lee is very rich, yet he is only giving me this much. Isn’t it a little too stingy of him?”
Was she this cheap? Or did he think she could be easily bribed?
“What is fake can also become real, but what is real can never become fake.” Bright's voice was deep but hinted at something. “As long as I want to, what is fake can become real and what is real can become fake.”
As Rose listened to his words and met his intense gaze, she felt as if there was an invisible magnetic force pulling her in that she couldn’t help but indulge in it, which made her flustered.
“Mr. Lee, what do you mean?” Rose even breathed quietly.
“Just take it literally.” Bright said indifferently as his gaze fell on the envelope. “You’ll know once you open it and take a look.”
Rose's sight also fell on the envelope. The stuff in the envelope wasn’t thick. Considering what he said, it was probably money.
She actually guessed wrong. For someone with status like Bright, he didn’t need to use cash at all. He could use a cheque or a card, both of which would make things easier.
She didn't dare to think too much about the things in the envelope. A woman's sixth sense told her that it wouldn’t be anything good!
She quickly retracted her gaze, then turned and took a couple of steps away to escape from this place.
But Bright stood up sharply and stepped forward in one stride to stop her.
“Where do you want to go?” He looked down at her and asked.
“Go home.” Rose didn't look up. Her downcast eyelashes were long and thick, and trembled out of fear.
“Before you go home, you should take a look at the surprise I prepared for you.” Bright grasped her hand and pulled her toward the round table again.
Rose was dragged by him to the round table and heard a commanding voice. “Open it.”
Rose struggled to withdraw her hand, but she couldn’t resist his strength. Not only did she not withdraw her hand, but her other hand was also held in his. He embraced her entire body and pushed his broad and warm chest against her cold back.
His body was very warm and comfortable, but she still felt cold.
She stubbornly resisted him as he brought her hands toward the envelope on the table. She did not dare to touch it.
“Rose, what are you afraid of?” Bright’s thin lips pressed against her auricle. Although his tone was soft, it made people unable to resist him.
“I’m not afraid of anything. I just don't want to know what's inside. I have no interest at all.” Rose spoke sonorously, partly to convince herself not to be curious.
“Are you not interested at all?” Bright watched as Rose forced herself to regain composure and curled his thin lips. “Since you don't want to look, it might be better to show it to those who want to see.”
“Who are you going to give it to?” Rose asked him anxiously, revealing her fear.
