Rose had no interest in others' private life. However, Sofia started the showdown, and Rose was afraid to confront her.
"Nonsense? You took his hand and called him sweetheart. I don't think you would call your dad sweetheart."
These judgement made people laugh heartily. Issues like this were seldom brought to the table.
Sofia tried to humilate Rose, and Rose wouldn't spare her.
"So, you are innocent? A man carried you away!"
Rose sneered, "Sorry, there was an essential difference between you and me. The person who took me away was my boyfriend."
"Humph, how shameless you are! Prove what you said."
Voices came, "Well, call your boyfriend here, and that will solve everything."
Rose put her hand on her forehead and regretted talking with these silly women who were firm with follies.
They only believed what they chose to.
Rose's silence pleased Sofia, "See? What did I say? He can't be your boyfriend."
"What did you say?" A cold voice came, and everyone looked at the owner.
A slender man in a fine suit walked forward. Women on the spot felt bewitched by this handsome man.
They felt that he was eye-dazzling.
A look of surprise flashed across Rose's face, 'What is he doing here?'
Caesar stopped beside Rose and put his arm around her shoulder, "Baby, we agreed that I gave you a ride. Why did you come alone?"
This nickname dragged Rose back to the past when Caesar and she had a happy time.
Caesar was too handsome to be forgettable for Sofia, though she saw him only once.
On that night, he appeared with several bodyguards domineeringly. It was a blow to Sofia that Caesar and Rose were lovers.
Rose gave a slight push to Caesar. She managed to maintain her composure in public, "I'm here to get my degree certificate."
Caesar took the certificates for Rose. Then, he walked to Sofia and said in a low voice,
"By the way, your paramour, what is his name, Mr. Huber or Mr. Lee, is disabled now and goes
broke."
"No one can be safe and sound after hurting my baby, even if you are a woman."
This threat frightened Sofia to death, and she felt cold on her back.
Sofia was the person who sold Rose and should have paid the price long ago!
Getting back her certificates, Rose struggled free from Caesar, "Thank you for helping me out."
There was a gathering, but Rose didn't feel like attending. Her life changed a lot, and she had no intention to meet her classmates anymore.
Caesar sent Rose back to her apartment, "Do you have any plans for the future? What are you interested in?"
He did not forget that working in a big company was once Rose's wish. However, she could work anywhere she wanted now.
Putting her certificates aside, Rose leaned on the sofa lazily, "Work is boring. I don't feel like working for others."
"Well, you want to start your company?"
