章節 23: First Date (1)

Evan happily nodded when he heard Marvin's report progress.

As for Marvin, he could only silently take a deep breath. Actually, it's not his job to take care of his Boss's personal matters, but somehow his Boss likes to keep him busy with trivial things like this. Even though his Boss has several personal assistants who can do small things like this.

"Marvin, for now, no one will know my woman identity or privacy, including my family. So you better keep that way… don't let them know." Marvin was stunned, looking at his Boss.

"Boss, why? Are you not serious with her?" After he said these words, he immediately felt regret. It felt like he wanted to slap his mouth for asking such a question.

Slowly Marvin turned his gaze elsewhere when his Boss narrowed his eyes, looking at him as if he wanted to beat him with his sharp eyes.

"Watch your words, Marvin! Rose Wilson will be my wife soon. Respect her as you respect me!"

Evan's icy voice could make the study room feel like they were in the North Pole. Marvin could only nod. Now he clearly understands the status of Ms. Rose Wilson in the eyes of his Boss.

"Boss... I'm sorry. I will take care of everything. Lady Boss' identity remains safe."

Evan's lips curled up into a faint smile when he heard Marvin call Rose, Lady Boss. He likes it!

"Hmm… you should do that! Well, it's not that I want to hide her from anyone, but it's not time for her to show up yet. Worried that some people would hurt her. I don't want that to happen!"

"Yes, Boss! I will follow your instructions. Is there anything else you want to order?" Marvin felt that his sudden summons to this city wasn't just about apartment renovations, right?

There must be something more important than that! After all, he's a CEO. Can't he just be told to do trivial things that his Boss's personal assistant can do?

Evan did not answer Marvin right away. He walked to his desk and took a brown envelope.

"Process this document. Make sure it can be completed tomorrow..."

Marvin immediately stood up and took the brown envelope from his Boss.

"After you finish with that file, you may go back to the Capital. I will call you again if I need anything else…Thank you for coming, and you can go now." Evan walks to the window and looks at the road below.

Before Marvin left the study room, suddenly, he remembered their plan to acquire a construction company.

"Boss, how about 101 Construction?" Marvin was looking at Evan, standing by the window with his back facing him.

"Continue with the process!" Evan answers Marvin without looking at him. His eyes were looking at the street in front of the apartment. The road still looked crowded. He can't wait to date his girl.

Without him knowing it, a smile appeared on his face. He quickly turned around to meet Rose in the living room, but he was surprised to see Marvin still standing at the door, looking at him.

"What are you doing!? You can go now!" Evan's voice sounded unfriendly. Making Marvin immediately leave the room after he said goodbye.

After Marvin left the study room, he could see Lady Boss was watching TV. Slowly he approached her.

"Lady Boss..."

Rose was surprised to hear Marvin's voice from behind. She stood and looked back and felt weird hearing now Marvin addressed her with 'Lady Boss?'.

What happened in Evan's office?

Why suddenly did the CEO of Dream Inc call her like that?

She was puzzled.

"Lady Boss, I have to go now... If Lady Boss needs anything at the Capital, you can call me anytime." Marvin gives Rose his name card. After that, he immediately left the apartment. He didn't want to linger there. Worried that the Boss's mood will get worse.

After Marvin left, Rose was still standing, holding the business card in her hand in bewilderment. She hadn't even said a word, yet Marvin had already disappeared from her sight. She feels weird.

Was Even that scary in the eyes of his friend?

No. Evan is the sweetest and kindest man she knows. Since getting to know him a few years ago, not once had she seen him angry. He was always friendly and kind to her. Of course, he must be like that to his friends, employees, and family, right?

"Is there something wrong, Rose? Why are you standing there?" Evan walked over to Rose with a confused look at the girl standing in her place, motionless. In her hand, she was holding something. He stepped closer and saw Marvin's business card in her hand. His brow raised slightly.

Rose slowly raises her head and looks at Evan standing before her. She smiles at him before she replies, "Evan, Marvin gave me this name card. He said if I come to the Capital and need anything, I can call him…." Rose was surprised when she saw Evan's displeased look.

"Throw his name card. You don't have to call him. Just call me if you need anything!" Evan took Marvin's name card from Rose and threw it in the trash bin near the kitchen. "Rose, We should go now, or we'll be late for the movie." Marvin continues his words.

Rose immediately took her bag on the sofa and walked towards the door, following Evan. She felt excited because this would be their first date, and she was looking forward to it.

When they entered the elevator, her heart beat faster when Evan's big hand took her hand and entangled their fingers. She can feel how warm his hand is, making her blush.

They decided to walk to Central Plaza. Because the distance is only a few blocks away from Evan's apartment.

That night the streets were still busy. Rose couldn't help but feel a warm feeling walking side-by-side with Evan all the way to the central plaza.

"Tell me if you're tired. I will take the car…." Evan glanced at Rose by his side while his hand still tightly gripped her tiny hand.

"I'm not tired, Evan. I need to walk a lot to burn fat. I ate so much today, worried that I would gain weight…."

"I don't mind, Rose."

Rose was confused by his words.

"What do you mean, Evan?"
