What kind of girl was she?
Rosiley's fair face emerged in Charlie's mind, and he couldn't help but indulge in his fantasy. She was a girl he yearned for.
"Charlie?" Griselda called when seeing that her son seemed to be lost in thought without answering her question.
Hearing that, Charlie regained his senses. When he met his mother's suspicious gaze, he calmed down and replied casually,
"She's just an ordinary girl.”
“An ordinary girl, then how can she deserve Sachin?" Griselda deliberately emphasized the word "ordinary". She turned around and saw Benson's face darken, laughing to herself.
“Call him back to the Capital!" Benson said in a deep voice, as if he was trying to suppress his emotions.
Griselda nodded, “OK, I'll call Sachin.”
Afterwards, she cast a glance at Charlie with a triumphant look.
Charlie raised his eyebrows as a response. It seemed that his mother was going to deal with Sachin again.
After taking some time off, Yayoi finally came back to work after her parents returned home safe.
Because she had been on leave for so long, Rosiley had helped her with most of her work. Therefore, there was a lot of work for handover between them after she came back.
Looking at a mass of numbers on the computer, Yayoi felt a headache. She bent over the desk and complained, “If I had
known that there would be so much work, I wouldn't have come back.”
Hearing this, Rosiley, who was sitting beside her, chuckled and teased, “Well? Does that mean you want to marry Maddox?"
"What?" Yayoi looked up and pretended to be unhappy by glaring at her. "Nothing has even happened yet. What nonsense are you talking about?”
Rosiley revealed a meaningful smile. “Is that so? Didn't you give him a hint that day at your house?”
"Did I?" Yayoi raised her eyebrows in complete confusion.
Knowing that she was feigning ignorance, Rosiley picked up a pen and tapped her on the head. “You know it the best. If you don't want to work, I'll tell Maddox that you want him to support you."
Hearing that, Yayoi got anxious. "No, don't tell him that. As a woman in the new era, I will depend on myself.’
"Absolutely, you will be an independent women. So, please hurry up and finish the handover of our work."
Hearing Rosiley mentioned work, Yayoi was frustrated with her shoulders down. She looked at the computer in dismay and said, "If I had known it would be so troublesome, I shouldn't have asked for leave.”
Rosiley smiled and ended their conversation. Otherwise, they couldn't finish the handover of work on time.
Near noon, they were about to finish the handover. Rosiley suggested resting for a while and having lunch before continuing in the afternoon.
Yayoi couldn't wait. She stood up and moved her aching neck. Then she sat down again, turned off PowerPoint and opened up the website.
Seeing this, Rosiley frowned in surprise, “Are you hooked on another soap opera?"
"Soap opera? This is a hit Korean drama.” Yayoi typed quickly on the keyboard and replied without looking up.
Korean drama? Rosiley curled her lips. It could only be cornier. She tumed around and sat down in her seat uninterested.
Just as Yayoi was about to watch the drama, a shrill voice suddenly broke the silence of the office.
“Yayoi, come out!”
Yayoi frowned, turned her head and looked over. Seeing the figure standing at the entrance of the office, she was shocked.
Why would Candance come here?
Everyone in the office looked up at the unexpected visitor. Someone recognized her. “Isn't this Candance, whose father is president of the Young Group?”
