NovelEnglishReese had no idea what kind of trick Rose was playing, so she kept silent.
A faint distortion crossed Rose's face momentarily. She had clearly given that hint,
yet Reese hadn't shown any interest in finding out what she meant.
Rose cleared her throat, "Designer Roberts, would you like to greet President Strakovski? He cwith me."
Reese quickly withdrew her hands from the dryer.
Turning to face Rose, her expression turned sour, "You're on a date with President Strakovski?"
Rose had only wanted to show off in front of Reese, but she hadn't expected such a strong reaction.
Innocently, she blinked her eyes, "What's the matter? Is there a problem?"
Reese stared at Rose for several seconds, then shook her head, "No problem. I'm leaving."
With that, she turned and left the private room.
In her heart, she told herself that Rose was probably trying to flaunt her relationship. During the jewelry

between her and Lukas.
But hadn't Lukas solemnly declared that he had nothing with Rose?
Reese still believed in Lukas's integrity.
As she thought this, her gaze suddenly caught sight of a partially open private room door. Facing the door was
Lukas, lounging lazily in his chair, cigarette in hand, his expression cool.
Reese's heart sank instantly.
No one was speaking inside the private room, and with the door slightly ajar, Reese could only see Lukas seated,
with empty chairs on both sides.
Words couldn't describe the emotions swirling inside Reese at that moment. Could it be that he had lied to her,
and he was indeed on a date with Rose today? Even at this point, Reese refused to believe that Lukas's words
about having no involvement with Rose were just a lie.
She even tried to convince herself that Lukas might be here just to dine with a friend. She shouldn't jump to
conclusions based on Rose's words.
Hearing footsteps in the corridor, she hurried to the corner of the hallway, hiding herself.
Finally, she watched helplessly as Rose pushed open the private room door and entered.
Reese's heart turned cold. She wanted to rush in and ask Lukas why he had lied to her.
However, when she remembered their arranged marriage agreement, she burst into a self-mocking laugh. Who
was she to question Lukas?
How could she have naively thought that way because Lukas was treating her well?
He treated her well, both openly and discreetly, but he wasn't devoted to her alone!
When rumors of Lukas's involvement with Rose had spread before, Reese hadn't felt much. But this time, the
discomfort in her heart was stronger than ever.
In a daze, Reese entered the private room. After finishing the meal, she bid her farewells.

Meanwhile, the dinner party continued in Lukas's private room.
Lukas hadn't eaten much either. Director Garret, seated a distance away from him, nudged Rose, "Go, quickly
toast President Strakovski. Why are you just standing there?"
Rose nodded, softly smiling at Lukas before getting up to raise a toast.
She specially showed off in front of Reese just a while ago, implying that she was on a date with Lukas.
It was because she was sure that Reese would not know the truth.
After all, the company's employees were afraid of their bosses, so they would not take the initiative to gossip
about Lukas.
When Reese peeked into the room, Director Garret and the producer were sitting too far away from Lukas, and
there was only a gap in the door, so she could not see the scene in the room clearly.
Today, the dinner was hosted by the production team of Rose's new . The purpose was to boost Rose's
image and convince Lukas to invest in the series.
With the previous rumors between Rose and Lukas, both Director Garret and the producers assumed there was
at least an ambiguous relationship between them.
