In an instant, Rosa felt as if she were facing a serious threat.
There had never been any trace of another woman's scent on Joe before. Rosa had always been on high alert, closely monitoring everything about him.
For more than three years, he had focused solely on his career, maintaining a cold distance not only from her but from everyone else.
She had even seen company secretaries or employees try to flirt with him, but none had ever succeeded. Their consequences were always pitiful.
He simply wouldn't let anyone get close.
So, was it Skylar? Had they met today?
It could only mean one thing if they had each other's scent on them.
No wonder she had only seen Gloria today and not Skylar. Joe and Skylar must have been off somewhere together.
They must have slept together!
At this thought, Rosa started losing her composure. She just stared blankly at Joe as he walked ahead.
"Ned, did you meet someone today? You have a perfume scent on you," she ran up to him, gripping his arm tightly, her face full of obsession.
If it was Skylar, what would she do next? Everyone would mock her, even Skylar. Now, she must be feeling triumphant.
Joe was forced to stop. He turned to look at Rosa.
His gaze made her heart sink with inexplicable panic, making her regret the question instantly. She thought that it wasn't the time for confrontation.
If Joe admitted it, what would she do? It would make everything unbearably awkward.
So, just as Joe was about to respond, she quickly changed the subject. "Go wash your hands and change your clothes, then come eat. The food's been ready for a while, and it'll get cold if we wait any longer."
