Rose tucked her hands in her trench coat pockets, shaking her head lightly. “Megan isn’t on board. But
Morrison is the groom–to–be. If he doesn’t wanna tie the knot, Megan can’t call the shots, no matter
how controlling she is.”
Chloe stole a glance at Rose through the elevator mirror, pursed her lips a bit, and then kept silent.
Once they reached Chloe’s office and shrugged off their coats, Chloe asked her secretary to fetch
some books from the company’s reading room for Rose
The rest was a breeze. Rose parked herself on the couch and got lost in her books while Chloe was
busy grinding away at work.
The office had a chill vibe. Every now and then, a secretary would pop in to give updates, but Rose
wouldn’t even bat an eye.
Whenever things settled down, Chloe would catch a glimpse of Rose, quietly engrossed in her book.
This woman, a beauty queen since her young days, knew how to doll herself up and was the apple of
everyone’s eye in school. She was so flamboyant and confident.
To her suitors, she was a stone–cold rejector. But when it came to her crush on Morrison, she had
taken a hit.
Once she asked Rose, “Among all the guys who were after you, there were plenty who were born with
a silver spoon in their mouth and were decent blokes too. Why were you only into Morrison?”
To which Rose shot back, “Would you feel disgusted if Lance touched you?”
All Chloe managed to do was blush and shake her head, without uttering a word.
The two of them always had heaps to talk about, including love and sex, which often strayed into adult
topics. In high school, it was no biggie for couples to get frisky. It was even more commonplace in
college. But Chloe and Lance hardly had any physical contact.
Rose said, “I couldn’t be with them. Just the thought of them touching me made me sick. But with
Morrison, I didn’t feel that way. Because I liked him, I could accept whatever he did.”
She added, “Chloe, if I can’t be with Morrison in this lifetime, I might stay single forever. I can’t stand
anyone else touching me. What do you reckon I should do?”
“Perhaps you haven’t met the right guy yet. Time changes everything. Maybe you’ll meet someone you
can gradually accept.” That’s how Chloe responded back then.
Maybe Morrison wasn’t her Mr. Right after all.
Just then, someone knocked on the office door. Snapped back to reality, Chloe replied, and the door
opened. A tall figure stepped in. He was always the center of attention, with an exceptional aura, as if
he was always bathed in a dazzling light, no matter where he went.
“Tomorrow I’m flying to Paris. Anything you need me to bring back?”
Winston, with one hand tucked into his suit pants pocket, looked straight at Chloe but made for the
couch. Then he spotted Rose sitting on the
couch.
He paused in his tracks. Rose looked up, saw him, and gave him a faint smile. Winston nodded faintly
in response and sat down on the other end
of the couch.
“Nothing really.” Chloe put a pause to her work and turned to him, “Yeah, just make sure to take care of
them when Jeanette arrives.”
“Sure.”
Rose flashed a faint smile. “Remember to wear our company’s perfume. Consider it a form of
promotion.”
Winston shot her a glance. “So, you’re the kind of businesswoman who always sees a business
opportunity?”
“Seems like you have a skewed understanding of businesspeople.”
Winston gave a faint smirk.
“Are you free right now?” Chloe gave Winston a look, asking.
“The fashion week is tomorrow. I’ve wrapped up today’s work.”
Chloe pulled out a file. “Perfect. I’ve got a meeting. You can take Rose out for a bit.”
Winston and Rose both looked at Chloe.
Chloe locked up at Winston. “Go anywhere. Just make sure to drop her back before clocking out.”
Winston gave Chloe a hard look for a few seconds before standing up and saying to Rose,
“Let’s go.”
Rose stood up too. “Since there’s nothing to do, let’s hit the mall and check out our perfume sales.”
Chloe nodded, “Good idea”
Rose’s eyes twinkled with mischief.
They headed to a nearby mall. Star’s perfume was naturally a big hit. But after the initial launch buzz,
the sales had tapered off a bit.

Chapter 1036
The minute Rose reached the counter, she asked, “How much stock have you received lately?”
Recognizing her as the boss, the sales assistant immediately whipped out the stock list.
Rose took a look. “There’s still plenty of stock.”
The sales assistant nodded. “At first, they were flying off the shelves. But now, it’s reached a saturation
point.”
Rose nodded, didn’t say anything, and left the counter right away.
Winston followed her at a leisurely pace. His exceptional aura turned many heads. With a mask on,
Winston looked aloof, and his entire aura turned icy.
People would take a quick peek and then hastily looked away.
Rose seemed to be window shopping out of boredom and picked out a pair of flats. When it was time to
pay, Rose looked at Winston. “I didn’t bring my wallet. Could you spot me?”
Winston pulled out his wallet without changing his expression, took out his card, and handed it to the
cashier. Then they headed to a leather goods store.
After picking out a simple and classy wallet and having it wrapped, Winston was about to pay when he
heard Rose ask the sales assistant,
“Can I pay with my phone?”
The sales assistant nodded. “Yes.”
Winston frowned, puzzled. Just as he was wondering, Rose handed the wallet to him.
“Here, this is for you.”
Winston glanced at the new wallet. “For me?”
“Yep, as a token of gratitude.”
“You don’t have to. I was just keeping you company while window shopping. I was bored anyway.”
Rose shook her head. “You should still take it. Otherwise, I’d feel bad.”
“I’ve already bought it.” Rose looked a bit awkward. The stalemate could only be broken if he accepted
the wallet.
In the end, Winston took the wallet.
Rose smiled contentedly. “Now I feel much better.”
“Why?”
Rose leaned towards him, winked, and grinned like a sly fox.
‘Cause I want you to see the real face of a merchant.”
The two of them returned to the counter of Spotlight Beauty once again..
Rose stood at the entrance, coughed a couple of times, then clapped her hands.
“Ladies and gents, we at Spotlight Beauty have a surprise event for you this afternoon!”
Everyone paused to look over.
“Anyone who buys our latest line of perfume will get an autograph from our brand ambassador,
Winston!”
“Winston?”
“Wow, an autograph from Winston himself?”
“I want it! I want it!”
A few people excitedly jumped up and raised their hands..
Winston’s face instantly turned sour! What good could come from being around Chloe all the time?!
