Please Love Me, Mr. George novel Chapter 424

She snorted, “I heard you were an orphan, and it was your grandmother who got you married to Dennis. A man like Dennis needs a partner who is his equal. And you seem to be mentally ill. What does a woman like you, with no background, get him by his side? You’re just a drag on him.”

Once upon a time, hearing these words, I would feel inferior and uncomfortable, but not now.

I was quite calm. I looked back at her and smiled, “So, Ms. Torres, what can you bring him?”

There was no denying that she was proud. “My education, my ability, and my beauty have a lot to offer him. I can keep pace with him. I can always keep up with him. And you, you are just a housewife, you know nothing else.”

I nodded and smiled. A woman’s pride was worth appreciating, but that was all.

I looked at her. I didn’t say anything to hurt her, or anything disrespectful. I just smiled and said, “So, Miss Torres, I look forward to you taking my place one day.”

I stopped looking at her, smiled, and left the room. Rose was at the door. When she saw me suddenly open the door, she was a little stunned.

There was something wrong with her face. She probably heard everything.

She tried to say something, but I smiled and said first, “Go in!”

She nodded and said after a pause, “Miss Kennedy, would you mind waiting downstairs for me?”

I was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, “Okay.”

She went in and I went downstairs.

The weather in City P was always changeable. It was sunny in the morning and cloudy in the afternoon. It seemed that the snow had started again.

The heat was on in the car. I was a little drowsy when Dennis called.

“Still in the hospital?” His voice was deep and firm, as good as ever.

I nodded and said, “How’s it going at the office?”

When he finally got ready for the holiday, he was busy again because of it.

Looked like he just came out of a meeting. After a pause, he said, “PR will take care of it. What would you like to eat later? I’ll pick you up and we’ll have dinner together.”

I thought about it. I was going to talk to Rose later, and I guessed we would be eating by the time we were done talking.

So, I said, “Mr. George, I have an appointment. I don’t think I can go with you.”

After a pause, he said quietly, “Do I know him?”

I wanted to tease him, so I nodded and said with a smile, “Yeah.”

“Rose?”

I was stunned and pursed my lips, “Dennis, are you following me again?”
