In any case, Rose would not have dared to identify herself to Jenson. Seeing him was already a blessing she was grateful for.
"I accept!" Rose said assertively, loud and clear as she stared into Jay's deterrent eyes.
Her gaze fell on the pen in Jay's hand but Jay tightened his grip on it as if he did not mean to lend it to her at all.
Unperturbed, Rose opened her delicate leather handbag to get a pen to sign the contract.
Jay watched closely as Rose took out the contents in her bag one by one and placed them on his desk. His eyes suddenly fell on the transparent cosmetic bottle and he frowned at the unusual foamy liquid inside it.
‘Pepper spray?'
Rose finally felt a pen at the bottom of her bag and put all the contents back inside, one by one. When she picked up the pepper-spray, she saw Jay' scoff.
"I thought only fragile bimbos carried things like that. I didn't know all women owned them!” Jay sneered.
Rose did not get angry but smiled instead. "I only take i t out rarely depending on where I go and who I meet."
A crack appeared on Jay's icy face. 'You dare get mouthy with me?'
"Just sign the contract and get out of here." Jay just wanted her out of his sight.
Rose grabbed the pen and signed her name above the dotted line. Her signature looked like chicken scrawling.
'I can’t bear to look at it!’ Jay thought incredulously.
Jay harshly belittled her, "Your handwriting looks just like you!"
Since Rose entered the room, he had been treating her with disdain the entire time.
In response, she scratched her initial signature off with two bold horizontal lines and proceeded to redo the signature next to it.
Her handwriting became vigorous and robust, magnificent and elegant, and had a powerful style.
Jay gaped at the signature in the lower right corner of the contract with surprise.
"Since when could you write like that? Why did you do it so badly just now?" Jay asked, confused.
"The quality of my handwriting is inconsistent," Rose sniffed. "My fonts come out differently depending on who's reading it."
Jay sneered, "Very well, you can leave now."
Rose flashed a confident smile and bid farewell to Jay, "See you again, Sir Ares!"
Jay stowed away the contract and an evil leer appeared on his handsome face. "Good luck, Rose."
Rose shivered. 'What was that supposed to mean?’
When Rose got home, she happily shared the good news with her kids. "Mommy found a new job. From tomorrow onward, mommy will have to go to work."
Robbie and Zetty looked at their mother pitifully." Mommy, we’re always looking forward to your food all day. Who's going to get us food when you're at work?
Rose had figured out a solution since the beginning," I've already contacted a very good kindergarten to enroll you two. You guys can go to school tomorrow!"
When they heard the declaration, the two kids whooped with joy. They loved nothing more than to meet new people and make new friends.
The next day, Rose woke her babies before sunrise and drove them to the gate of their kindergarten.
Since it was still very early, the school had not opened yet so the poor little kiddos were left stranded outside the kindergarten and had to wait. "Mommy, why do w e have to come so early?"
Rose looked anxiously at her watch. "Because Mommy needs to go to work. I'll be late if I don't go now." She did not want to leave Jenson with a bad impression for the first meeting.
