Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose) -
Chapter 339
Downstairs, Jay had his gaze locked on the only bright window of Central Building. Two shadows approached one another, then merged into one following the rustle of the window curtains. Jay felt as if his heart had been gouged out.
He turned around and left dejectedly.
After that, Rose and Sean sat down and began to go over solutions for a pressing problem.
Jay returned to Garden Of A Diary. Ruffled by the events, he hid in the attic on the third floor and drank himself silly.
In the end, he fainted in the room from alcohol intolerance.
The next day, Jenson discovered that his daddy had fainted in the attic. He immediately dialed for Josephine.
Unfortunately, Josephine was still enjoying her vacation overseas and was too far to help.
Jenson had no other choice but to ask Grayson for help.
Not too long after, Grand Asia's ambulance charged into Garden Of A Diary and brought Jay away.
As the symptoms were severe, from his skin to his
respiratory tract, he was sent straight to the ICU.
Hearing of her brother's situation in Europe, Josephine immediately called Rose.
When the call could not get through, she texted her instead, imploring her to take good care of Jay.
With that, Josephine booked the next flight back.
Jay's absence the following two days in Grand Asia's important higher-up meetings shoved members of Ares Enterprises into a panicked frenzy. Suspicions and rumors detrimental to the company's development arose as well.
To minimize the damage caused by the president's unwellness, Grayson had every one of Grand Asia's senior managers feed the public with the same lie. The president had gone on a honeymoon with his wife.
Only such maddening news could cover up the fact that the president was sick.
After that, the topic 'Sir Ares Eloping With Beloved Woman' began to trend.
Scrolling through social media, Sean was shocked to stumble upon such news.
How could Jay have already found someone new when he was so besotted with his secretary? Not to mention such a high profile display of affection! Something was wrong!
Sean passed his phone to Rose. "Take a look, Orchid."
He was analyzing Rose's expression.
Suspicious, Rose took the phone and glanced at the screen. Upon reading the headline, she chucked the phone back at Sean's face.
"Who he likes and who he goes on a honeymoon with has nothing to do with me."
Sean smiled. "Why do I smell jealousy in the air?"
Rose glared at him.
Sean smiled warmly. "I can give you a day off if you're not feeling too well. Go take a walk."
Rose stood still. Removing her name tag, she patted the documents on the table. "These are the flow and quota statements of top-notch actors over the past three years. Don't say I never told you, Mr. Bell, but if you wish to steal from the lion's den, then you have to do it when it's not at home. Right now is the perfect timing!"
Sean beamed brilliantly.
"That makes sense."
Rose got up and left.
Returning to her rented apartment, Rose threw herself exhaustedly onto the large bed.
Closing her eyes, memories of the trending headline resurfaced uncontrollably in her mind.
Opening her eyes, she shook her head in an attempt to rid Jay from her mind.
Beneath her pillow was an abandoned cell phone.
Staring blankly at it, Rose let her mind wander as she pondered over why she had abandoned the sim card.
Now that Jay had a woman he liked, he would not bother her anymore, right?
Taking her phone, she placed the sim card that she scavaged out of the drawer back inside.
Turning on the cell phone, its display showed tens of missed calls and over ten unread messages.
Scrolling through, Rose realized all the missed calls were from Jay. The time stamps matched with the night she left Garden Of A Diary.
Her heart warmed unexpectedly. 1
