Hannah went back to work the next day while Oscar went to the office of City Hall.
Both of them went back to their own workplaces.
Upon stepping into her office, Hannah was greatly surprised by the presence of Rose.
Not until then did she remember that when she was kidnapped by Tan, Rose was also on the spot. Hannah had experienced a lot these days.
She once thought Jimmy wouldn't think much of it and would kill Rose to keep the secret that night. However, now Rose was still in her office as her secretary.
She tried to calm down and sat down in the chair.
Although this was much to her surprise, she was greatly grateful to Oscar, without whom Rose might have been killed by Jimmy.
"Ms Hannah, would you like a cup of milk or a cafe?" Rose asked.
She behaved the same as usual and didn't ask anything about Tan or how she survived the danger.
"Milk," Hannah said in a plain voice.
"Yes, ma'am," Rose replied in a respectful tone as before.
Then she walked out of the office.
Later, she went back with a cup of milk as well as a cup of cafe.
Hannah frowned, noticing that Rose had given the cafe to Jimmy.
Jimmy was like being shocked.
At that moment, Hannah felt curious about what was going on between them.
"I made it myself. Take a try." Rose was pleasing Jimmy.
"... Er... I don't drink cafe. I only drink water. "
"Didn't you drink it that day in my house?" Rose rebutted.
Hannah couldn't believe what she heard. Something must have happened between them during the days she was gone.
Jimmy noticed Hannah looking straight at them. This tough guy blushed and said to Rose, "Don't make fun of me."
"Didn't you go to my house?" Rose sounded a bit hurt.
"I did, but I..."
Rose interrupted, "Take it. I prepared it for you."
Jimmy failed. He was awkward in speech. And he wasn't able to resist Rose's teasing. So he immediately took the cup over and drained it.
Jimmy's face went pale as the cafe was still too hot to drink.
"It's hot..."
Jimmy had finished it before Rose could remind him.
Jimmy bore it and didn't change his face, though his mouth might get scaled.
"What a man!" Rose got crazy for him.
Looking at this, Hannah couldn't stand it anymore.
"Rose, are you flirting with your lover during work hours right now?"
Jimmy's face turned even redder.
He immediately explained, "No ma'am. There's nothing between her and me..."
"But there's something in me." Rose interrupted.
Jimmy seemed to feel panicked.
Hannah didn't want to make fun of him anymore, and she said seriously to Rose, "Give me the schedule of today's work."
"Yes, ma'am." Rose was still a responsible secretary.
She was in a rush, but still ogled at Jimmy when she left.
Hannah never expected Rose, a serious woman, would daringly woo the one she loved. She once thought Rose was a bit logy in her feelings since she had been single for years, so she would be awkward when wooing others.
She had to say that Rose had a special preference for her lover's type.
Cooper Group was filled with elites who looked attractive and well-behaved while she was into a common strong big man. She would definitely fear Jimmy's appearance if she didn't know him, Hannah thought.
