Chapter 408
For the rest of the time, Edward went to pick up Rose for lunch every afternoon. No matter what, Rose temporarily left the organization.
Only Sherri and Natalie were left in the hospital.
Soon, it was May 27th.
On this day. Rose returned from her meal as usual. However, she did not look for Sherri and the others. Instead, she went straight to the HR department to apply for leave.
When she came out after applying for leave, she bumped into Natalie coming out of the washroom. She glanced at the leave slip in her hand and asked, “Are you applying for leave?”
Rose glanced at the note in her hand and replied, “Yes, I’ll tell you what to do. You can’t tell Ava. Isn’t tomorrow Ava’s birthday? My brother is preparing to propose to Ava and then settle the marriage first.”
When Natalie heard this, she felt that Frank must have planned this for a long time. However, the two of them had been dating for a few months. Both families knew about it. Whether it was Ava or Frank, they were all devoted people who wanted to get married.
“Your pediatrics department has been quite busy recently. What excuse did you use to apply for leave? Will the HR department let you go?”
Natalie asked curiously.
Rose smiled and handed the note to Natalie. She said softly, “This stays between us. Don’t tell your Old Trevon.”
This made Natalie even more curious. At the same time, she felt that the reason was definitely not simple. She took the note and looked at it. She looked up at Rose suspiciously. “Are you sure this is good?”
Rose took back the leave slip and stuffed it into her pocket. “I can’t think of a way either. Besides, it’s not easy to apply for leave now. I’ve used up all the reasons I could think of last time. I used this reason to be coherent.”
The reason said on the note was imprinted in Natalie’s mind. “My brother is going to be removed from the family tree tomorrow and officially become a live-in son-in-law. The entire family is sad. I’m afraid that my parents will do something stupid. I hope the leader will allow me to look after my parents. Thank you”
She finally knew why Trevon Wilson couldn’t find out. This reason was probably the only reason in the world that Rose could think of. Even Sherri wasn’t at such a high realm.
In the end, Natalie silently gave Rose a thumbs up. “You’re really awesome. You might have been left behind by aliens in
Athana for fun.”
“It’s a secret” After saying that, Rose made a clicking gesture, indicating that she wanted to silence her.
Natalie changed the topic. “I’ve already sent the gift over. A few days ago, I was still planning to apply for leave, but Aunt and the others didn’t agree, so I sent the gift over. It should be about today. When he proposes, remember to help Ava take photos and record beautiful memories. As her elder sister, I might not be able to go. I’ll leave this mission to you.”
Natalie felt a little regretful and apologetic.
Rose comforted her warmly. She knew that Ava was very important to Natalie. He hugged Natalie’s shoulder and said, “Hey, aren’t you pregnant? If you weren’t pregnant, you would have died long ago. Ava can understand. I’ll broadcast it live for you guys.”
“Okay, thank you.”
“It’s not a big deal. Taking photos is my hobby. I’m very skilled.”
Natalie admitted that Rose’s post was better at taking photos of living things or herself.
In the evening, the Roberts family boarded the plane.
On the plane, Rose sent a message to her brother. “We’re ready to set off. You’ve been in Sapphire City for a week. Are you done?”
“Yes.
“I really don’t know how Ava can stand your stinginess for words. I won’t ask you for money even if I say another word.” This time, Frank replied with four words. “It depends on people.”
“Crap.”
After the plane took off, Rose started sleeping. She might need to help her brother see if he had missed anything at night. She would probably have to stay up late. If she slept for a while now, she could still sleep for a few hours.
William was a little excited. Back when he was working hard, he had never thought that he would have a son who would
propose marriage one day.
At that time, he was prepared to be hacked to death at any time. He did not expect to live so long and have a son and a daughter. He also had a beautiful and cold wife. He sighed. “Gracie, are you excited?”
William rarely used this name. It was only when he was aroused, or when he made a mistake, or when he wanted to express
his emotions.
Grace glanced at him. “What are you trying to say?”
“I want to say that we’re very happy. Our son is about to be engaged. I never thought that I, William Roberts, would have such a day.”
Grace understood what he meant. She reached out and interlocked her fingers with his. “Didn’t you say that your life would get better and better with you? Now that you’ve done it, you’re even lamenting.”
“Gracie, you’re my lucky star.”
Grace’s eyes flashed, and she held his hand even tighter. The warmth of their palms allowed them to feel each other’s feelings. Even without saying a word, she knew what this action meant.
A few hours later.
The plane landed at the airport of Sapphire City. Frank was already waiting at the airport. Seeing them come out, he stepped forward to get the suitcase.
After William’s luggage was taken away by his son, he held Grace’s hand. Grace did not refuse. Being held by him was an invisible indulgence.
Rose took three steps forward and pushed her suitcase to her brother. She naturally held her brother’s wrist. “Tm so tired. At least you have a conscience to pick us up.”
Frank glanced at her in disdain, but he did not shake her hand off. He pulled the two suitcases with one hand and said. angrily. “I’m here to pick up Grace, William. You can do whatever you want.”
Rose pouted and leaned against Frank. “You’ve forgotten about your sister after getting a wife. Forget it, I won’t argue with you on account that an old leftover man like you has finally caught someone’s eye.”
Frank took the Roberts couple and Rose to the Sapphire Hotel and put their luggage in the presidential suite that they had booked in advance.
Rose shared a suite with Grace and William
The night was dark and the moon was shining brightly.
An office in the Sapphire Hotel. It was wide. Seven people were sitting in the coffee room with a stack of documents on the
table.
A woman was wearing a simple and elegant gown, with flowers blooming in summer. Her hair was tied up with a bright white jade hairpin. She was dignified, elegant, and gentle. She also had the charm of a lady.
As for the other woman, it formed a contrast. She was wearing black wide-legged trousers and a casual shirt. Her collarbone hair was casually tied behind. Her entire face was cold, making it impossible to tell her age, but she had a strong aura.
On the other hand, the men were dressed much simpler. One was wearing a formal gray suit, and the other was wearing a
white suit.
On such an occasion, Rose needed to reduce her presence. When she entered, she had already politely called out to someone. She lowered her head and sat beside her brother, pursing her lips without saying a word. She was here today to be a witness and appear for free.
Daniel Turner, who was wearing a gray suit, spoke first. He was approachable and did not have the airs of a rich man. “It’s been hard on you to come all the way here. If you have anything you’re not satisfied with staying in the hotel, feel free to
mention it.”
William politely greeted, “They’re all quite good. I heard from Frank that this hotel is yours. This is many times better than Frank’s hotel.”
“Mr. Roberts, you’re too kind. Your son is very capable. Grand Manor is not inferior to my Sapphire Hotel.”
Grace didn’t like such formalities. She liked to be direct, but today’s occasion was different. She didn’t plan to continue the small talk. She glanced at Emma Turner, who had been sitting upright and dignified. Her red lips moved slightly. “I hope you can forgive me for coming so suddenly today. I believe Mr. Turner and Mrs. Turner know our family. My name is Grace Roberts, and I’m Frank’s mother. We’re here today mainly to propose on behalf of our son. I wonder if Mr. Turner and Mrs. Turner have any thoughts.
Today, you’re the first and we’re the second. Don’t be polite just because we’re guests.”
William chimed in, “That’s right, Mr. Turner. If you have any thoughts, feel free to ask. We’ll think of a way to satisfy you if we can. It’s all for the sake of the child.”
Joseph couldn’t help but look up at the woman who spoke directly. He had investigated Frank’s mother. It could be said that there was no need to investigate. He would know after asking.
She was very famous. When she was ruthless, she was even more ruthless than Frank’s father. She did things cleanly. Frank directly inherited his mother’s genes. Without any nonsense, he went straight to the point.
An hour ago, Frank called Joseph and directly said that he wanted to propose to Ava. He also told Joseph his plans for tomorrow and hoped to give the phone to Ava’s father, Daniel Turner.
When Daniel picked up the phone, Frank was polite and direct. He told him his thoughts and even made a guarantee.
In the end, the three of them agreed to come to the Sapphire Hotel because Frank was going to surprise Ava tomorrow.
Upon hearing this. Emma smiled gently and elegantly picked up the coffee cup, and took a sip. She gently put it down and continued to pursed her lips without saying anything.
With his parents around, Frank chose not to make a sound. He knew that his mother could handle things well. Rose lowered her head and paced around the few of them.
