"What is it?" Without raising his head, Burke casually sorted out the documents in his hands.
Seeing this, Amanda quickly walked to Burke, took his arm and shook it gently. "Dear Burke, I heard that you are going to attend a charity dinner tonight?"
"Yes." Burke replied coldly, still not looking at her.
Amanda removed her hand from his and walked to the couch and sat down. "You haven't been with me for a long time. Don't you want to take me to the party?"
Burke stopped his work and rubbed his sore temples. "I'm going to take Rose with me tonight. If you feel boring, you can go out with your friends."
Amanda was so angry to hear that Burke was going to take rose to the dinner party.
'Rose, it's you again!'
In order to keep a good image in front of him, Amanda couldn't show her obvious jealousy. She forced a smile and said, "Will sister Rose also attend the banquet? Then it is not appropriate for me to go there. After all, sister Rose is Mrs. Gu of the Gu Group." Asked Amanda, stressing the word 'Mrs. Gu' on purpose. She wanted to see how Burke would react.
But Burke didn't reply. The air in the room seemed to be frozen, making Amanda on the sofa a little bit uneasy.
Mike's voice came from outside all of a sudden.
"Mr. Gu, people in the project department are waiting in the meeting room."
Hearing this, Burke stood up and said to the depressed Amanda, "I have a meeting. You can go back first." After saying that, he walked out of the ward.
Seeing how unhappy Amanda was, Mike guessed that she must have been given a cold shoulder by Burke. So he walked into the office and asked with a smile, "Miss. Zhao, would you like to stay here a little longer? Shall I make you a cup of coffee? "
Amanda, who had been depressed, was provoked by Mike and felt humiliated. She gave him a sharp stare, stood up and left in anger.
In the evening, in the small villa of the Gu's manor, Rose had been ready to sit in the living room, waiting for the arrival of Burke.
The wind at night blew in from outside the window and it was a little bit cold. Rose asked Sophia to take a cashmere shawl and put it on to resist the chill that was coming from outside or from the heart.
At six o'clock sharp, the car of Burke slowly stopped at the gate of the villa. The driver gave a hint to the servant to invite Lin Ruan to get on the car.
"Mrs. Gu, here is Mr. Gu's car." The servant came in and said.
"Okay." Rose stood up and straightened her dress. Holding her handbag in one hand and the shawl in the other, she slowly walked towards the door. Since she was on her feet, she only wore a pair of low heeled shoes, which made her look a bit young and pretty when she played with the fish tail.
Seeing that Rose was walking towards him, Burke's eyes were lit up by her innocent appearance. He had to admit that Rose's beauty was always pure and elegant, like a blooming lotus flower.
A servant came up to open the door for Rose. As soon as the door was opened, Burke had already been sitting on the side of the back seat. He reached out and gestured for her to hold the car.
Rose took a look at the hand reached out by Burke, and suddenly turned her eyes away. She bent down and sat in the car, leaving Burke's hand hanging in the air awkwardly.
Seeing this, Burke suddenly grabbed Rose's hand on the seat and held it tightly. No matter how hard she struggled, he didn't reduce his grip.
'Rose, you will never be able to escape from me for the rest of your life.'
