Josephine drove Rose straight to a bar. She booked a VIP private room, and the two of them had a long conversation inside.
"Let's talk about it. What the hell is going on between you and Zayne?" Josephine asked with enthusiasm.
Rose had no idea where to begin...
Josephine continued, "How did the two of you meet?"
Rose omitted the part about fate and previous lives." When I first came back, I was strapped for cash. So I went online and looked for a job. Zayne was the only person who offered me one."
"Thus, you’re grateful to him. The kind of gratefulness that slowly blossomed into love, right?" Josephine was emotionally stirred up.
Rose replied, "Josie, the other day when you saw me i n his arms, it was truly an accident. Zayne was the one who plotted the whole thing. He wanted Mr. Ares t o see that we're intimate and deliberately tried to make things hard for Mr. Ares and me."
"Why would he want to frame you?"
Rose took out a business card from her bag and handed it to Josephine. "I think it's probably because o f this."
Josephine looked at the business card, and her pupils
dilated in shock. "Executive President of Severe Enterprise? Aren't you amazing, Rose Loyle? You didn't reveal yourself, yet you snatched away Zayne's position?"
Rose's current expression was cryptic.
This position belonged to her from the start.
Zayne did not even like this position.
"I understand. So, Zayne hates your gut, and he's deliberately setting you up to frame you?" Josephine finally comprehended the situation.
Rose nodded.
Rose’s honesty had relieved Josephine of all of her previous suspicions. However, it could not cure Josephine’s torment from having lost her love.
"Rose, drink with me. Hmm?"
"We'll drink till dawn."
Rose's current frame of mind was not necessarily better than Josephine's.
Ever since her visit to Tourmaline Estate's Fragrant Vessel Court, all the ardent yearning she had for Jay seemed to have been intercepted by a demon. She had no one to confide to about the sufferings in her heart.
