“Ulric! Stop playing games with me!”
The reprimanded man merely shrugged and extinguished his spent cigarette.
“I’m a businessman, just weighing whether a kiss from you is worth getting bitten.”
Rosalind pretended not to hear his outrageous words and walked ahead.
Ulric, however, looked serious, as if discussing business contract details. “Is there a daily limit?”
“…”
Rosalind truly felt that Ulric was possessed by something.
…
The news of Rosalind returning to work at W Group quickly reached Sirena’s ears.
Sirena was stunned when she heard the news after finishing work in the legal department. She immediately understood that Ulric never had a new wife; he was always hung up on Rosalind!
Johnny’s issue hadn’t been resolved yet, and now there was new trouble.
As she was feeling annoyed, her phone suddenly rang.
It was an unfamiliar number.
Sirena didn’t want to answer but feared it might be important information that couldn’t be conveyed through their usual contact number. Since it was her personal phone and after work hours, it should be fine to answer.
Hesitating for a moment, she pressed the answer button.
A male voice came from the other end. “Is this Miss Reynolds?”
“Yes, who is this?”
“My name is Lion, from Eastsun Corporation.”
Sirena frowned. She didn’t know this person but recognized Eastsun Corporation-it was Rosalind’s company! Ulric’s sudden interest in acquiring it was obviously for that woman.
“How did you get my number? And what do you want?”
She had to be cautious. Her situation was precarious, and this person could be investigating her.
“Of course, I have something to discuss! Otherwise, would Miss Reynolds have time to meet and talk?”
“Sorry, it’s inconvenient. Say what you need over the phone.”
“I got your number from Johnny’s phone! Don’t doubt my intentions; I just have some matters for cooperation to discuss with you.” Lion chuckled. “I should clarify… I like Rosalind and I want her.”
Sirena tightened her grip on the phone. “What does that have to do with me?”
“If Ulric reconciles with Rosalind, I’d be out of luck too. I’m sure Miss Reynolds wouldn’t want to see that happen either.”
Of course she didn’t!
But she couldn’t reveal that to others.
“I’m Ulric’s friend. If he’s happy with Rosalind, why wouldn’t I want to see that?”
“Miss Reynolds, let’s be honest! From a certain angle, we’re on the same side. I want Rosalind; you want Ulric. We can collaborate.” Lion paused. “You don’t need to pretend with me. You know better than anyone about Ulric and Rosalind’s relationship. Without you, I can’t break them apart; without me, it won’t be easy for you either.”
Sirena laughed and continued pretending. “I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
“After divorcing Ulric, Rosalind gave birth to his daughter! Just think about the consequences if Ulric finds out.”
“What?!” Rosalind had a child with Ulric!
“I can show you the child’s photo, but I think we need to meet and talk. What do you say?”
“…Send me the location!”
