Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife-Chapter 51

"Do I need to report this to you?" Rosemary said with a slight smile, "I heard that you are often not at the company. I wonder if I, as the new head, can ask about it?" Oscar pulled out a chair and sat down smugly across from Rosemary,

"If I had to personally deal with every single thing in the company. I’d probably be drained dry Ms. Rose, you just took the position, so you might not know just how busy it gets"

"So where do you usually go when you’re not at the company?" Rosemary asked.

"Doing deals with other bosses, meeting suppliers. Ms. Rose, are you going to take charge of this too?" Oscar said.

"Of course." Rosemary smiled, "I need to know the ins and outs of every deal. Otherwise, it might be seen as playing hooky."

"Heh," Oscar chuckled, "So you mean to tell me, Ms. Rose, that I need to be glued to the office everyday?"

"Not just you, all the employees should be at their posts during working hours!" Rosemary said with a laugh.

Oscar stared at the girl in front of him, then burst into laughter, "Ms. Rose, as the top brass of the company now, I’ll of course listen to what you have to say".

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll get back to my office," Rosemary said.

"Don’t worry, from now on I’ll be in the company every day, managing it well with you." Oscar said.

His tone was especially heavy on the last sentence, as if hinting at something

Unexpectedly, Rosemary took it in stride and laughed, "You better take care of yourself first"

As he stood up to leave, Rosemary looked at his retreating figure, "Oh, I forgot to tell you,"

Oscar immediately stopped in his tracks.

Rosemary said clearly, "Only I can command my employees."

Oscar glanced at Dean standing at the doorway, feeling dissatisfied.

"Did you get that, Mr. Oscar?" Rosemary asked

"Got it" Oscar stormed off in a huff.

Dean watched the girl in the office, surprised at her determination! What should he do? He felt somewhat moved by being protected by a girl.

Phillip looked at the flowers and plants in the garden, took the shears from the gardener’s hand, "I’ll do the trimming!"

"Oh, Phillip, be careful! You’re not fully recovered" The butter anxiously said, "What shape do you want? Just tell me."

"I want something cute." Phillip said.

"Cute?" The butler thought he heard wrong, and exchanged looks with the other gardeners.

Phillip started trimming his beloved plants. After a while he felt it wasn’t perfect, so he snipped a bit more, "How about this?"

"Phillip, did you just trim your beloved plant into the shape of a rabbit? The butler realized, "Is it for the Miss to see tonight?"

Phillip was pleased with the result, admining his handiwork. To make Rosemary like this place more, he instructed several gardeners to trim all the plants in the courtyard into cute shapes, and had the entire villa cleaned and decorated

As if tonight’s visitor was not his granddaughter–in–law, but a distinguished guest!

"Sir, Miss Serena has arrived" Suddenly, a maid came to report, "Do you want me to bring her in?"

"Why would she be here?" Brodie wondered, he looked at Phillip.

Phillip was just about to rest, sitting on a wicker chair, "Let her in, and serve some tea and snacks"

Serena was following the maid all around, finally reaching Phillip after a lot of hustle. Tears welled up in her eyes and her voice choked up.

"Grandpa!" She burst into tears as soon as she saw Phillip,

"I’m so glad to see you sitting here healthy, but I can’t help but feel guilty."

"What’s with the tears?" Phillip asked.

"I messed up last time! I wanted to help you recover faster, but I didn’t realize the pill i gave you was faulty" Serena felt deeply ashamed, "You suffered for nothing. luckily, you’re a good sport, and

everything turned out okay!"

Phillip chuckled kindly, "Let’s not dwell on what’s past."

Actually, it wasn’t a problem with the pill, but his frail body wasn’t suitable for it. But he didn’t want to explain all this to Serena.

At this moment, a chef handed a menu to Phillip for his review.

"Not bad, not bad." Phillip perused from top to bottom, "Did you add chocolate powder to this dessert? Rosemary doesn’t fancy this. Switch it to strawberry flavor" Upon hearing this,

Serena thought,’ Rosemary?’

"She’s coming here for dinner? Impossible?! Why does Phillip seem to know her taste so well?"

"Prepare more fruits too! Cut them into cute shapes!" Phillip handed back the menu cheerfully.

"That’s all. Go prepare everything now"

Serena maintained a courteous smile, "Grandpa, do we have any special guests tonight? I noticed a lot of servants are cleaning up and setting up the place"

"It’s for your sister! I invited her for dinner tonight." Phillip laughed heartily, "Never thought the unexpected would happen. She turned out to be Romeo’s fiancée! Serena, seems like we aren’t fated

in this lifetime, you can’t be my granddaughter–in–law."

"I don’t have my sister’s good fortune." Serena felt a twinge of resentment!

Rosemary, always Rosemary! Ever since Rosemary appeared, nothing had gone her way!

"You’re a good kid, you’ll definitely find a good family and marry a good man in the future. It’s getting late, I need to check on the other preparations!" Phillip said. Phillip glanced at the time. Rosemary would

be arriving in an hour!

He placed great importance on this dinner gathering. "It’s Rosemary’s first time here. Can’t leave a bad impression."

His words suggested a high expectation for his future granddaughter–in–law

As he was about to leave, Serena hurriedly spoke up, "Grandpa"

"Is there something else?" Phillip turned around, smiling kindly at her. Although he seemed gentle, it felt different from before.

"I won first place in a piano competition. I wanted to play a piece for you. Serena wanted Phillip to know that she was more talented than Rosemary.

But Phillip didn’t seem to care much, and he smiled kindly, "Can I take a raincheck?"

"Can I play a piece for you if you’re not in a hurry? You’ve always had a refined musical taste, and you’ve listened to many excellent music pieces over the years, you can help point out my shortcomings"

Serena said.

Serena was in shock. Was he implying that he didn’t plan on inviting her for dinner? Was he worried that Rosemary would be displeased if she found out?

He was really considering that country girl.

Before Serena could say anything, she heard him say, "Brodie, stay with Serena for a while, I need to check on something over there"
