Chapter 208 Things Had Changed
"Thank you." Rose closed the file and raised her voice, "our new product press release will be held in a while. The technology department will be very busy these days. After the new product is successfully launched, everyone will be given an extra annual paid-leave."
As soon as Rose finished her words, staff members of the technology department who stayed to work overtime immediately cheered.
However, there was no change in Zack's expression. He just looked at Rose with a smile on his face.
He had always been like this, silently supporting Rose, just looking at her and protecting her.
The company founded by Rose and Austin had already been a well-known in the industry and had successfully entered the new top of technology sector. Rose had used many of her father's unfinished plans and ideas on it, and it worked quite well.
"Are you sure you won't attend the celebration party tomorrow?" Rose said to the other side of the computer screen.
"Do you want me to attend?" Austin asked with his hands on his back.
"We have invited many collaborators and companies with intentions to participate this time. I want to continue to talk with them about the future cooperation." Rose had a special plan for the celebration party of the Cloud Group. It was not just a simple celebration.
"Let me have a look. If you can make a decision, you can make it directly. If you need my advice, we can talk about it later. I have some problems here that I need to deal with. " Austin squeezed out a smile tiredly. Recently, his company encountered a big problem, which was not easy to solve. He was so busy that he was afraid that he had no time to care about Rose's company.
Moreover, Rose was different from who she was three years ago. She was new in the business world three years ago, and now she had become experienced. She was indeed Ray's daughter. Her business sense and wisdom were not inferior to others, but she had no chance to show it in the past. Austin believed that Rose could do well alone even without him.
"Okay." Rose nodded. She was so careful that she found that Austin was in a bad mood. After hesitating for a while, she asked softly, "Austin, what happened to you recently?"
"Nothing." Austin shook his head and said to Rose, "I'm fine. Go ahead with your work. You look much thinner recently."
Austin noticed what had happened to Rose in the past three years. She had grown into a strong woman who could deal with many problems. But he also felt sorry for Rose. He knew how many difficulties she had gone through.
Rose joked, "recently, it's popular for young girls in the office to lose weight, and I also tried it."
As a matter of fact, Rose knew that she had been in poor health condition since she left Burke for Ringle Land. She went to see a psychologist.
Although she had eaten on time, she was still very weak and her weight had been dropping.
Some of the illness in the heart would never be cured.
"You are also a little girl, Rose," Austin looked at the thin woman on the screen and couldn't help but feel a little distressed. "Don't push yourself too hard."
In fact, he was thinking whether it was right to support Rose to run a company.
He knew how sinister the business world is. And Rose had strict requirements for the quality of all kinds of products in the business world. Austin didn't want her to work so hard.
Rose nodded, "so do you. Take care of yourself, too."
After the video call, Austin turned off the computer, sat at his desk and closed his eyes wearily.
What he didn't tell Rose was that his company was now being attacked by the Gu Group led by Burke. If Burke wanted to be ruthless, he had no power to fight back at all.
Burke... Three years ago, he took Burke's woman away. Was he going to revenge on him now?
Austin smiled bitterly. He was overconfident to challenge the Gu Group with the Wyon Group and secretly tamper with the Gu Group.
But now he was on the verge of breaking down because of Burke.
In fact, what he feared most was that now that Burke's body had recovered from the injury, he would chase after Rose again.
He didn't want to see that, nor did he want to see that scene.
He knew how painful Rose had been hurt by Burke. He didn't want to see Rose get hurt again.
Even if it was for his own selfish motive.
When Rose went downstairs in high heels, she met Jim in the underground garage.
He blew a loud horn at Rose who was looking at her phone with her head down.
That was very abrupt in the underground garage at ten o'clock in the evening.
Rose looked up and saw Jim leaning against the silver gray car and smiling at Rose.
"Beauty, would you like to have some midnight snack with me?"
Rose asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"Since you didn't reply to my message, I could only drive here by myself. The light on the floor of your office is still on, and I know you are hardworking. I don't want to disturb you, so I come here to wait for you. I know you will get off and pick up your car. Am I right? I know you well, don't I? " Wearing a casual sportswear today, Jim looked much younger and energetic. He pressed the button secretly and the door opened automatically. "My lady, please?"
"I'm afraid I don't have time today. I have to go back and read some documents." Reflectively, Rose wanted to refuse. It was so late and she didn't want to stay alone with Jim for too long.
She always kept a distance from Jim.
"I drove here to wait for you. When I arrived, it was only eight o'clock. Now it's ten o'clock. Rose, I've been waiting for you for two hours." Jim looked at Rose sincerely and innocently, "if time is money, then I think I'm willing to move the gold and silver mountains here for you."
Rose knew it was not appropriate to refuse again. She took a deep breath, shook her head and entered Jim's car.
"Did you nuy another car?" Rose fastened her seat belt and asked.
"Yes, this car has a good performance. I like it very much." Jim drove the car out of the underground garage.
In fact, Rose knew the brand of this car, not only because the brand was a representative of the luxury world, but also because that man's car in her memory had always been this brand. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
That man was picky. He wanted the best in everything, including the car.
Thinking of Burke, Rose turned to look out of the window with a depressed look. Her stomach ached again unintentionally.
"What's wrong, Rose? Are you not feeling well? " Jim turned to look at Rose and asked with concern.
"It's okay. It's not a big deal." Rose took out the stomach medicine from her bag and asked Jim, "do you have any water here?"
