Chapter 487
“Ah, Okay!” Although Calvin did not tell his identity, Lawrence had already recognized him. He immediately agreed and took Calvin to a conference room in person. Lawrence said to Rosalie, “Stay here and talk with Mr. Gunner.”
Rosalie was instantly speechless.
After the door of the conference room was closed, only Rosalie and Calvin were left in it..
The air seemed to be filled with an indescribable sense of dullness.
Outside the conference room, Elodia and her colleagues were already stunned.
The change in this situation was too unexpected. The original scene of meeting the mistress turned into a scene of exposing them, and then the whole thing turned over, Rosalie seemed not to be a mistress but had a close relationship with Calvin the scion in the entertainment industry.
Of course, only Elodia was in a different mood when she saw Calvin.
Back then, Calvin happened to see it when Elodia made things difficult for Rosalie. At that time, Calvin protected Rosalie.
Elodia thought that Calvin had already lost interest in Rosalie as the gossip between Calvin and Fiona was spreading on the internet these days.
After all, women were famous for their short relationship with the scion in the entertainment industry…
However, who could have thought that Calvin would show up again today and protect Rosalie as before?
Elodia wondered how capable Rosalie was to make Calvin protect her like this.
Elodia felt hatred and jealousy in her heart. Compared with Calvin, her boyfriend who was an associate professor seemed to be less capable.
Those colleagues who were ridiculing Rosalie for being a mistress and corrupting the atmosphere of the firm also shut up and looked at each other.
In the conference room, Rosalie looked at Calvin and said, “Thank you for what happened just now. But I think there should be nothing to talk about between Mr. Gunner and me.”
If it were not for Calvin’s words just now, she might have more injuries on her body. However, she could not figure out what Calvin was going to do here.
“What the hell is going on between you and Jonathan?” Calvin asked. Rosalie and Jonathan were together again at the banquet that day but she did not seem to be so willing. “Are there any unspeakable reasons? If there is, tell me. I can help you.”
“Help me?” Rosalie raised her eyes. “Why?”
Calvin thought, “Yeah. Why?” He looked at Rosalie. After all, he had nothing to do with her. “You are Fiona’s cousin. It’s not strange that I want to help you.”
“Do you care for me because of Fiona? Is it true that no matter who the little girl was that saved you back then, and no matter what kind of person that little girl grew up to be, you would still like her?” Rosalie asked abruptly.
Calvin frowned. “What do you mean?”
Rosalie said calmly, “Nothing. I just think you are really kind to Fiona. You even care for her cousin.”
No, Calvin wanted to care about Rosalie. It was not because of Fiona but… The answer in his heart was coming out! Calvin pursed his lips and said, “You haven’t answered me yet. What the hell is going on between you and Jonathan?”
“It doesn’t seem to be something Mr. Gunner should care about Rosalie said, “I don’t need you to help me.”
She had promised Jonathan that she would be his elder sister again for Amelia and Aiden, so now there was nothing to go back on.
After all, people had to pay for what they got.
“If Mr. Gunner has nothing else to ask, I’ll go out first,” Rosalie said and walked toward the front door of the conference
room.
Nonetheless, Calvin suddenly grabbed her hand before she touched the door handle.
“Rosalie, do you have to refuse me like this?” His voice, which had always been calm, sounded a little impatient because of
Rosalie.
At this moment, Calvin had a rare anxiety that he could not even explain.
Rosalie stared at Calvin’s handsome face in a daze. Calvin’s delicate facial features made her think of another miniature face. Once upon a time, the little boy with that face was holding her as she carried him on her back through the dense forest. “I
will be very nice to you from now on. I will buy you many dress and take you to eat lots of delicious food. I will protect you better than anyone else!”
At that time, Rosalie did not take these words seriously. After all, many children would forget what they said after the next day.
Furthermore, a fever made her forget about him and those common memories.
However, Rosalie did not know that Calvin had been looking for her for so many years! His obsession with the night back then was far deeper than she had imagined.
But now, his obsession was with Fiona.
And Rosalie… She chose not to say anything at that time.
Calvin was not the one she loved. If he put his obsession on her, then it would be more and more confusing, which might not be good for him either.
At this moment, Rosalie did not say anything, but the way she looked at Calvin made him feel moved.
In a trance, he seemed to see the little girl staring at him when he was a child.
These eyes… They had appeared in Calvin’s dreams many times. He had imagined countless times what those eyes would. look like when the little girl grew up…
Calvin could not help but raise his hand and gently touched Rosalie’s eyes…
His cold fingers touched her warm skin, making him want to get more of her warmth.
Rosalie’s body stiffened, and her round eyes slowly closed. She could clearly feel Calvin’s fingers moving around her eyes.
He was Cal, the Cal who had shared her hardships. Everything seemed to be a mistake in those years.
To her, it was like a dream!
If Rosalie had not lost her memory of Calvin because of a high fever or if she had met him before falling in love with Jonathan and remembered everything…
Maybe they would recognize each other!
But now…
Rosalie opened her eyes again and pulled Calvin’s hand away from her eyes. “Mr. Gunner, I don’t think you have forgotten what you said on the mountain before. After going down the mountain, we will be strangers!”
Calvin’s body suddenly shook.
He thought he could do it, but now he found that it was so difficult to treat Rosalie as a stranger.
