Johnny stood there as if struck by lightning, taking a long time before he moved his fingers-to rub his eyes hard.
To see if he had mistaken someone…
She was actually in Wayer City!
But then he thought, no wonder Ulric changed his mind about many things after staying in Wayer City for a few days!
“What are you standing there for? Go up!” Lion didn’t see Rosalind; he had just gotten out of the car and only saw Johnny standing there in a daze.
“I ran into someone I know,” Johnny pointed to Rosalind not far away.
Lion followed his finger and laughed, “You know her?”
“Yeah, she is-”
“She is the girl I like.”
“…”
“Pretty, right?” Lion continued talking to himself, not noticing that the man beside him was almost petrified! “Of course, I don’t just admire her because she’s pretty. The way she works so seriously is what fascinates me the most! What do you think?”
Johnny’s mouth twitched, his voice dry and tight, “Not much.”
“Not much?!” Lion immediately questioned his taste, only then turning to see Johnny’s face, which was a mix of blue and white. “What’s wrong with you?”
Suddenly-
Johnny grabbed Lion’s arm, “Wait, did you say she… is already married?!”
“Yes!” Lion nodded, answering in a daze, “Since she joined the company, she’s been known to be married. Everyone knows; she never hid it.”
“Have you seen her husband?”
“No.” Lion was even more curious about what her husband looked like! “But you can tell they are very much in love. You could say their love is stronger than gold.”
The phrase “stronger than gold” made Johnny want to record it and play it back for Ulric to hear!
So he could give up completely and agree to marry Sirena.
“Lion, you probably don’t stand a chance.”
“Why?”
“Because men ten thousand times better than you have been rejected by her.”
Originally, Johnny was puzzled. With Lion being a rich second generation, good-looking, and aiming to marry her, why wasn’t she moved? What kind of extraordinary woman must she be! The moment he saw Rosalind, he immediately understood.
Rosalind was indeed an extraordinary woman.
…
Rosalind and Mr. Wong were discussing the project as they walked forward.
Mr. Wong laughed and said, “I’m lucky to have your help; otherwise, I wouldn’t have this honor!”
“If you say that, I won’t go. I can’t handle the rumors in the company. I’m afraid my husband would get jealous and angry!”
“Your husband is truly fortunate to have married you!”
Rosalind waved her hand with a smile. When she looked up again, she saw Lion-and Johnny beside him.
In an instant, her face changed, and she instinctively turned to leave.
Lion quickly ran a few steps to catch up, “What’s wrong?”
“I just remembered something at home. I can’t join you for dinner today. I’m sorry!”
“… Is there some misunderstanding between you and Johnny?” Lion wasn’t stupid; he could clearly see something was off between Rosalind and Johnny. “He’s my friend. If he has offended you before, I’ll make him apologize!”
Rosalind got nervous and clenched her hands into fists, “No, I really have something to do!”
“Lion, let me talk to her alone.”
As he spoke, Johnny had already walked up to Rosalind, a smile playing on his handsome face.
