Chapter 50: Chapter 50

Yolanda was green with jealousy. She sneered, "They’ve been inside for so long, who knows what they’re up to. They’re up to no good, are they?"

"Yoli" Olga got the drift. Phillip’s bodyguard was up ahead. If he overheard, it would only cause more trouble for the Harris family!

Yolanda bit her lower lip, watching their retreating figures with a sullen look.

How great it would be if she were with Phillip.

About fifteen minutes later.

The car pulled up in front of a serene and elegant villa.

This was Phillip’s residence, sprawling over tens of thousands of square meters.

The villa boasted a European–style design with classic elements like Roman columns and French doors, complemented by a sophisticated white exterior paint, exuding an air of opulence.

"Rose, we’re home!" Phillip called out cheerfully, "Let’s sit in the yard. fill have coffee prepared afternoon tea you fancy? I’ll have it made on–the–spot." "No need, Grandpa,"Rosemary smiled softly and

politely declined, "I still have work to do, so I won’t be going in."

Phillip’s excitement deflated, "You’re leaving?"

"Ms. Rose, you’re already at the doorstep, why not take the day off?" Brodie also took a shine to her and tried to persuade her to stay, "Come in, rest a bit, have some coffee and food?"

"I have things to deal with at the office, Rosemary replied gently, "Maybe next time."

"When do you finish work? I’ll have Romeo pick you up." Phillip was reluctant but didn’t want to interfere with her work, "Come dine with me tonight, we can have a chat."

"Phillip’s not fully recovered, he needs Ms. Rose to check" Brodie started to say, then quickly gave Phillip a meaningful look

"Oh, my heart." Phillip immediately started acting, "Rose, can you check on me again tonight? I feel a bit uncomfortable here."

Rosemary saw through his exaggerated and poor acting but chose not to expose him, she just smiled,

"Alright"

"Fantastic! What do you like to eat? I’ll have the kitchen prepare it" Phillip said, then realizing he was getting overly excited, he faked a cough, his voice weak, "is there anything you can’t eat?"

"I can eat anything," Rosemary’s eyes were bright, and she said, "Don’t prepare too much"

"Okay!" Phillip was as happy as a kid, TIl send you to the office first After work, come over with Romeo"

"Okay"

Once Rosemary left, Phillip immediately perked up, grinning, "So, how did I do just now?"

Brodie made a gesture with his thumb and index finger, "A bit over the top"

"Really?" Phillip locked at the direction the car was leaving.

" II’I pay more attention to my acting next time."

Once inside, he dialed Romeo on his phone, sounding determined.

"I don’t care how urgent your matter is, you must pick up Rose after work tonight and come over for dinner"

"Okay." Unexpectedly, the man on the other end agreed promptly, without even a half–second of hesitation.

Phillip was puzzled. Why did he agree so quickly? Did he mishear?

"I’m warning you, don’t do anything inappropriate with Rose!"

"She finishes work at five," Romeo’s deep voice came from the other end, "We’ll be there before six"

In other words, he needed to have dinner ready before six.

Phillip was puzzled again.

Phillip was left scratching his head. Did he hear that right? Was that mischievous tyke really saying this?

"As for dessert," Romeo, who seemed to know Rosemary’s tastes like the back of his hand, elaborated,

"She doesn’t have a sweet tooth for chocolate. Maybe you can whip up something with strawberries instead."

After hanging up the phone, Phillip was still feeling perplexed. His grandson was suddenly a mystery wrapped in an enigma.

Brodie, misunderstanding Phillip’s dilemma, decided to step in and lend a helping hand. "Phillip, I’ve noticed the young master and Ms. Rose’s relationship is moving at a snail’s pace. Should we give them a nudge tonight?"

"Got any bright ideas?" Phillip was all ears.

Brodie laid out his scheme. Seeing Phillip flash a satisfied grin, he couldn’t help but laugh, "Alright, I have the room prepared in advance"

Meanwhile, Rosemary took the elevator up to the twentieth floor of the company building, spotting her assistant,Dean, waiting for her by the office door from a distance

"Ms. Rose!"

Upon seeing her, Dean came forward at once, "You’re finally here! Mr. Oscar has been asking for you!"

Rosemary raised an eyebrow, clearly unfamiliar with the name.

"He’s the big shot sent by the headquarters. Before you joined the company, he was the top dog"

"Why haven’t I seen him at previous meetings then?"

"Uh," Dean hesitated, finally murmuring. "He’s hardly ever at the office"

"Busy with outside meetings?"

"Not exactly."

Rosemary got the picture, "Tell him to come over,"

"Yes," Dean was about to fetch him

Rosemary looked intrigued, "A vice president needs a personal invitation?"

"If I just give him a call or send a message, he’ll blow his top."

"Really? Then I’d love to see how he throws a tantrum."

Not long after, a middle–aged man in his forties appeared.

He was slightly chubby, with a round face, and as soon as he arrived at the office door, he didn’t hesitate to grumble at Dean, "So the new boss comes in and the old one’s out of the picture?"

"Mr. Oscar, it was just a temporary situation. I’m really sorry I couldn’t invite you personally," Dean replied.

"This new manager just dropped from the sky, who knows how long shell last? And you, leaming to throw your weight around so quickly?"

"Of course not," Dean said respectfully, "Mr. Oscar, please come in! Ms. Rose is already inside" Oscar gave him a cold glance and swaggered into the office.

The young woman in the office chair watched him with interest.

She was fairly attractive, but she seemed to be looking down on him.

"I’ve heard rumors about a new manager coming in. But I’m surprised to see that you’re so young"

Oscar beat her to the punch, "As far as I know, you were sent from the headquarters, but I don’t recall ever seeing you when I worked there"

"Mr. Oscar, there are over five thousand employees in the headquarters. Have you met all of them?"

"Not exactly, I just thought someone as young and attractive as you, sitting in this position, is something I’ve never seen before. Who in the headquarters sent you here?"
