Chapter 167


    Rosalie was shocked. “What did you say?”


    “Didn’t you hear me clearly, Rosie?” replied Jonathan patiently. “Since you don’t like thatpany,


    why don’t we have thepany


    delisted?”


    His countenance looked as if he was talking about some mundane matters.


    “But… What does he mean by delisting thepany? wondered Rosalie.


    Rosalie’s pupils suddenly contracted. She thought, Could it be what I think it is? Thatpany is a


    neer in the food delivery industry. Although it is not on par with those well-knownpanies,


    its momentum has been quite good recently. I also read reports that recently, thepany has


    sessfully raised funds, and a firm will invest 340 million dors into it.


    How can such apany be delisted just by someone saying they would delist it?


    But… If Jonathan is the one who is saying this, even if it sounds impossible, he will make it


    possible.


    “Just because I don’t like it?” asked Rosalie as she stared dazedly at Jonathan.


    He smiled and said, “I don’t like the people who sold you out. Apany whose chairman tries to


    sell out people to get benefits, even if I don’t make a move, this kind ofpany won’t be able to


    make it into the big leagues either. In that case, it is better if they are taken care of earlier.”


    For a moment, Rosalie only felt that there were so many things that she wanted to say, yet the


    words were stuck in her throat.


    In between jokes, he could easily decide the life and demise of apany. If thepany


    chairman knew this was the result of his phone call to Jonathan, he would never have made that


    call in the first ce.


    “By the way, Rosie, why aren’t you eating? Have some more,” said Jonathan. Then hedled


    another spoon of one of the dishes and ced it into her bowl


    He seemed to be gentle and considerate.


    However, Rosalie knew that these were just illusions. No one could guess what Jonathan was


    thinking about. Maybe he would. take good care of you in thest second and make you fall into hell


    in the next second.

    Rosalie lowered her head and ate the dishes in the bowl mechanically. Although the food looked


    delicious, she couldn’t taste anything as she ate them.


    “Are you sure you don’t need me to introduce you to a job? This way, you can do whatever kind of


    work you want. You can even go back to your old line of work if you want,” said Jonathan.


    “No… that’s not necessary. I can find a job for myself,” said Rosalie.


    The next moment, the air seemed to have gone still. Even if Rosalie didn’t raise her head, she could


    now feel Jonathan’s gaze


    fixed on her.


    After a long while, Rosalie heard Jonathan’s voice. “Well, if you insist, we will do it ording to your


    wishes.”


    He then got up and left the dining hall.


    Rosalie took a deep breath only after she heard Jonathan’s footsteps fade away. She raised her


    head and looked at the dining table. Half a bowl of food was still left on the table in front of his seat.


    Jonathan hadn’t even finished his meal.


    “Did my answer annoy


    bim again?” wondered Rosalie. She couldn’t help but think about it. Then she mocked herself


    secretly. She thought. What is the use of thinking about this? If it is about him being annoyed, I have


    already provoked him from the beginning by refusing to stay with him.


    And now, my injured finger has almost healed, but… I still have no way of leaving this ce.


    When exactly will I be able to leave?


    Somehow, I feel that the longer 1 stay here, the deeper our bonds will be.


    When Lillian woke up, she saw an unfamiliar ceiling and a dimmed crystal light hanging from it.


    “This ce… Where is this ce?” wondered Lillian groggily.


    Lillian was stunned for a moment before she started to recall what had happened earlier. Then, she


    sat up abruptly.


    -I had some wine again and ended up drunk!” thought Lillian.


    “Are you awake?” A voice resounded in the room. Lillian stiffened and then turned around to look at


    the side the voice came


    from.


    Sure enough, Callum was sitting on the sofa not far from the bed, and his gaze was fixed on her.


    “I-I’m a-awake…” stammered Lillian in embarrassment. She quickly climbed down from the bed and


    checked her shirt and pants. “d they are still intact. I guess this means that nothing had


    happened,” she thought. But just in case, she asked, “I didn’t do anything after I got drunk, right?”


    “You actually did quite several things. Which one do you want me to talk about?” asked Callum


    lazily.


    Lillian’s jaw dropped in shock.


    “Several things… What have I done? Just my luck that my head is still messy after getting drunk


    this time. Unlike a few years back, when I could still remember what I had done even after waking


    up!” she thought.


    “S-So what have I done?” she gulped nervously and asked cautiously.


    As soon as she asked, Callum could not help but blush slightly.


    Lillian was dumbfounded as she stared at the flush on his face. She just felt that when he looked


    like this, he suddenly resembled the person she remembered back then.


    “I-Is it possible that I forced myself on you against night?” blurted out Lillian quickly. Then she saw


    Callum’s face flush even more. He even turned his gaze away from her uneasily.


    Lillian had the urge to beat herself to death. She thought. ‘Oh, my goodness! No way! Did I make


    the same mistake twice? I guess… the clothes and trousers on my body being intact does not mean


    that nothing had happened between us,” “Well… How did I force myself on you?” asked Lillian. In


    the spirit of seeking truth objectively, she cautiously asked for rification to check if there was any


    way she could make it up to him.


    “Enough!” said Callum angrily. He had finally calmed himself down, and his face didn’t look as


    flushed as before.


    Just now, when Lillian had questioned him, he recalled that when he brought her to the room earlier,


    she had suddenly opened her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck. Then, she started


    kissing him all over his face. It was almost like a puppy licking at his face.


    While she kissed him, she even said things like he smelled so nice, felt so soft, and tasted so good.


    This woman was behaving in the same manner she had that year.


    Even during this moment, he felt like she was breathing on him. He couldn’t get rid of that feeling,


    no matter how. “Anyway, from today onwards, let’s start dating. You must fall in love with me,” said


    Callum in conclusion.


    “What?” thought Lillian as she looked at the man in a daze, seriously suspecting she might have


    misheard Callum.


    Callum didn’t waste time talking nonsense and directly opened the recording on his phone to y


    Lillian the previous conversation between them. When Lillian heard that she had actually agreed


    previously, she almost stumbled over herself and fell to the ground.


    “I’m supposed to date Callum? And he wanted me to fall in love with him? Is his idea of revenge,


    letting me fall in love with him and then dumping me so that I can experience the feeling of getting


    abandoned?” thought Lillian, making up ber version of the events hereafter. After all, this was a


    common y in TV series!
