Chapter 26 What if He Likes You
After Bright’s words, Chandler, Joy, Sophie... and others all showed looks and surprised as doubts
arose in their hearts.
For someone as distinguished as Bright, Rose was just an abandoned daughter who was banished
from the Linder family. How could she get involved with him?
Rose fluttered her eyshes and smiled, refreshing and pleasant. “Yeah, it''s been a long time, CEO
Lee.”
It had been a while since they parted on bad termsst time.
She did not expect to meet Bright at her grandma''s 80th birthday.
She had never heard of City J’s Lee family having any rtionship with City H’s Linder family. Why did
hee?
His handsome face was close in front of her, forcing her to narrow her gaze slightly and quiet down her
breathe.
Her slender and thick eyshes cast clear shadows on her white porcin skin, and her quiet and
elegant posture resembled an elegant white lotus.
“Rose, who is he?” It was Jayden who broke the stagnant atmosphere first.
“He is CEO Lee from City J’s HY Group.” Rose gave a brief introduction to Hayden. “CEO Lee, this is
the sixth son of the rk family, Jayden.”
“I''m here to give birthday greetings to Mrs. Linder. I''m not interested in others.”
Bright’s eyes swept over the hand that Jayden ced on Rose’s shoulder. It hurt his eyes.
Rose felt that his mere nce made her back chill and she instinctively trembled, trying to break away
from Jayden’s hand. However, it led him to sp her shoulders even tighter, not letting her escape.
“Same.” Jayden chuckled and didn''t care.
“That would naturally be the best.” There was a shadow in the bottom of Bright’s eyes.
For some reason, she felt like a wife who was caught by her husband in the act.
Bright gave the birthday present he brought to grandma Linder. “Mrs. Linder, I wish you a long life full of
happiness. This is from my grandma. Please ept it.”
It turned out that he was here for his grandma. When did Bright’s grandma and her grandma have such
a good rtionship?
“Thank your grandma for me. It’s really thoughtful of her.” Grandma Linder epted the gift and
passed it to Chandler.
Naturally, Chandler had heard of Bright’s name before. Bright’s fame and reputation were godlike
existences among the businessmen. He dreamt about cooperating with Bright and to his surprise, an
opportunity came by easily.
“Thank you very much, CEO Lee, for making this special trip. Please forgive me for the poor reception.”
“It is also a kind of fate to be able to meet Miss Linder here.” Bright mentioned Rose again, as if paying
special attention to her.
After all, Bright was cold and hard to get close to, and he never took the initiative to approach women.
He didn’t even have scandals, but he took the initiative to get close to Rose, making others unable to
help but guess the rtionship they had.
Chandler asked with an inquisitive smile. “It seems that CEO Lee and Rose are close?”
“We are not.” Rose spoke first. She didn’t want others to misunderstand their rtionship and cause
him trouble.
But in Bright’s eyes, it seemed that Rose was eager to separate herself from him so that Jayden
wouldn’t misunderstand.

“CEO Linder, Miss Linder is now the main designer of HY Group’s City J Theater. I am solely
responsible for this project and I am cooperating with Miss Linder. Miss Linder is so capable at such a
young age, which is very outstanding. I feel relieved that this project is in her hands.” Bright praised
Rose for a while and appeared very satisfied of her work.
Rose was surprised. He praised her that much – was he helping her?
Bright didn’t show any emotion on his face. He calmly cast his eyes on Rose.
“Really?” Chandler had a smile on his face, but he couldn''t smile in his heart.
The expelled daughter had a better rtionship with Bright than he did, as the father. Her ability really
made him see her in a new light.
“CEO Lee, my daughter has a bad temper and is quite stubborn. I''m afraid it''s caused a lot of trouble to
CEO Lee. It should be my responsibility, as the father, to apologize to you.”
Although Chandler admitted that Rose was the daughter of the Linder family, his words devalued Rose
as if she was worth nothing.
“Dad, it has been five years since I left home. I am no longer the same person I was five years ago.”
Rose countered, not willing to be controlled by anyone.
“Mr. Linder, you have been worrying too much. I admire Miss Linder very much. We cooperate very well
both at work and in private.” Bright smiled as he blurted out an ambiguous sentence came.
Rose looked at Bright’s deep eyes, as quiet as ake, and really didn''t understand why he said that.
But it attracted Joy’s anger and Sophie’s jealousy.
“Thank you, CEO Lee, for your favour. I will work harder on this project and will not let you down.” Rose
feltplicated and led the topic to work.
“I look forward to you giving me more surprises.” Bright said goodbye to grandma Linder and left.
Rose breathed a sigh of relief as Bright disappeared into the background of the banquet hall entrance.
There was an endless stream of guests. Rose, Nora, and Jayden retreated to a corner of the banquet
hall.
“Rose, I haven''t seen you in these years. You’ve really improved! What is the rtionship between you
and Bright?” Nora leaned against the Roman pir, holding a wine ss in her left hand and her left
elbow in her right hand. She appeared charming and attractive.
“Professional rtionship.” Rose drank the golden champagne in her hand in one gulp.
“Don''t fool me and Jayden.” Nora didn''t believe it. “I don''t believe that there is no adultery between you
guys.”
“He likes you.” Jayden affirmed, sitting on the single sofa with his head in one hand.
At that time, Bright looked at him with a murderous look.
If he wasn’t powerful, he would definitely be killed by the nce in Bright’s eyes.
“He likes me?” Roseughed as if she heard a big joke. “You guys really aren’t being responsible for
your words.”
Nora and Jayden looked at each other in secret, then asked her. “Whichw stiptes that he can''t like
you?”
Rose took another ss of wine, shook it gently, and the golden whirlpool dazzled under the crystal
lamp. “I am already a married woman. Even if I weren’t, I have a kid! He is Bright, a godlike man
dreamed about and chased after by countless women. What woman can’t he have? Would he like a
divorced single mother? Is he blind or does his brain have problems?”
After speaking, she emptied her wine ss.
“What if he likes you?” Nora asked her.
“I don''t like him.” Rose said firmly, followed by another cup.
At the same time, a message came arrived on Rose’s phone that read, “Rose, room 1888, Four
Seasons Hotel, see you at half past nine. Bright.”
Although it was just a short sentence, it revealed a forceful feel, just as domineering as himself.
Meet him? Or not?
