Chapter 51 You Had No Idea What Mr. Roach Did for You (1)
Rose’s eyes were filled with a shallow confusion.
“Thank you?”
“Without me, could you have entered the doors of Maverick? So, did you have a pleasant interview, Ms. Edwards?” Judson finally glanced at her, his pupils filled with unmistakable aggression.
Especially the three words “Ms. Edwards” seemed like a wild beast with sharp teeth opening in the darkness, ready to devour her.
The confusion in Rose’s eyes grew even stronger.
“You are mistaken, Mr. Judson,” she said seriously, “Maverick never gives any interviews. I am here to…”
She paused for a moment, her eyebrows slightly raised, and said, “…playing hard to get.”
Playing hard to get?
Judson almost laughed.
In the matter of mocking people, she did indeed inherit Mrs. Roach’s true teachings.
“Rose, I advise you to speak carefully.” Judson’s gaze at Rose grew even deeper.
The consequences of angering him, she probably didn’t want to bear.
Sure enough, Rose decisively gave up pretending to be foolish, and her face was full of sincerity. “How about this, I’ll split my salary with you this month?”
For appreciation?
Ahem-
The person in the front row, Isidro, couldn’t hold back and coughed directly.
Ms. Edwards was a true warrior.
He turned his head cautiously, anticipating to see a furious and menacing Mr. Roach.
However, unexpectedly, Judson remained calm.
“Sure.” He nodded and took out his phone, directly displaying a QR code. “Let’s add each other on WeChat first, it will be convenient for money transfer.”
Rose… was dumbfounded!
After leaving the Imperial Garden, she blocked all of Judson’s contact information.
Do you want her to come back now?
It was impossible!
It was impossible to die!
Seeing her frozen in place, Judson spoke in a gentle tone, “Or, Ms. Edwards, leave me your phone number so we can stay in touch in the future…”
The phone number, of course, remained the same as before.
Rose didn’t believe that Judson didn’t have it.
But she had also already blocked his phone number.
If I had agreed with him now, the next step would probably be him asking, “Why can’t the number be dialed?”
Judson’s conspiracy was right in front of her, but Rose couldn’t find an excuse to decline.
“What’s wrong, Ms. Edwards?” Judson looked up, his eyes gradually darkening. “Just now, were you just brushing me off?”
“I… gave you the salary in cash,” Rose said earnestly as she chatted with him.
“Alright, let’s exchange contact information,” Judson stated firmly, “so that you can’t avoid paying later.”
“I…”
“Or were you planning to cheat from the beginning?” The feigned gentleness in Judson’s eyes had almost completely faded away.
She pretended, and he didn’t mind going along with her, playing word games with her.
But Judson’s patience was limited after all.
Rose was not in Imperial Garden, she was not under his control, which always added too much instability to his life.
He endured her until now, even he himself feels it is a miracle.

“Ms. Edwards!”
As the two people were deadlocked, a third person intervened.
I don’t know when, but Maverick’s butler unexpectedly came over, pointing at the car that had just arrived behind him.
“The gentleman said it was too late, and it might be a little unsafe for Ms. Edwards, a girl, to walk alone at night. He asked me to accompany you for a while. Would you please…”
“Ms. Edwards was my friend,” Judson interrupted the butler, “she would take my car home.”
He said and had already opened the car door.
Rose quickly flashed behind the butler, this subconscious seeking of shelter from others’ posture, caused a sudden surge of suppressed flames in Judson’s heart.
He looked into Rose’s eyes, which gradually merged with the thickening darkness of the night, filling the forest with the sounds of insects and birds, as if about to seize her at any moment.
“Mr. Roach,” the butler remained unfazed and smiled as he stood between the two, “Mr. Roach has given Ms. Edwards several documents, all of which are in the car. However, Mr. Roach requested that Ms. Edwards read them in the car and not take them away.”
Such a peculiar request is very in line with Maverick’s character.
But Rose knew that this was just the butler trying to help her out.

She seized the opportunity and slightly bowed to the butler, “Thank you, Mr. Brown.”
After saying that, she turned around and got into the car dispatched by Maverick.
Judson stood in front of the car, his gaze heavy, watching Rose sitting in someone else’s car, gradually disappearing from his sight.

Maverick’s butler remained silent throughout the journey and quietly dropped Rose off at her residential complex.
As she was about to get off, he called out to her, “Ms. Edwards, the gentleman also said that if you really like these materials, you can take them home to read.”
The old man was very thoughtful.
What was said earlier about not being able to take anything away was just to help Rose escape smoothly.
Rose thanked and returned home, working overnight to finish her manuscript.
I was about to wash up and go to bed in the early morning when the doorbell rang.
Because Judson suddenly appeared last time, Rose installed a visual lens.
She opened the mobile app and saw Isidro standing at the door, looking anxious and nervous.
Rose was cautious and hesitant to open the door. She asked, “What do you want?”
Anticipating Rose’s question, Isidro quickly spoke up, “Ms. Edwards, I came alone, keeping it a secret from Mr. Roach.”
“I asked, what are you here for?” Rose repeated the question.
“I, I want to talk to you,” Isidro’s voice tightened, “Ms. Edwards, please open the door, I have a lot to tell you.”
Since Rose had memory, Isidro had been staying by Judson’s side.
She knew that he was very loyal, but she also knew that Isidro was relatively honest and didn’t have so many tricks up his sleeve.
She opened the door and said, “Go ahead.”
If Judson wanted to hide behind, she would also be defenseless.

She could never stay indoors forever.
Isidro was overwhelmed with joy and tears, “Thank you, Ms. Edwards.”
He said, “Mr. Roach has been waiting for you outside for most of the day. His work has been delayed and he is still at the company dealing with work. He might have to work overnight.”
Rose frowned and said, “So you came here to accuse me of wasting his time?”
Did she beg Judson to wait for her?
Isidro, however, did not notice her expression and had already started rambling.
“Ms. Edwards, I beg you to go back. Since you left, Mr. Roach has hardly had a good night’s sleep. I’ve noticed he eats very little and has lost weight. With so much going on in the company, he still has to divert his attention to your whereabouts. If this continues, it will take a toll on his health… Last time, you angered him so much that he had a stomach bleeding and had to be hospitalized…”
“Stop, stop,” Rose almost raised her hand in surrender.
How was Isidro’s old-fashioned temperament cultivated?
“Isidro, your Mr. Roach is already an adult, Tameka doesn’t take care of his meals, clothing, or sleep. Why do you want to take care of him?”
Isidro pointed to his chest, “Of course I have to take care of it, I am a life assistant! I am the one who takes care of all these things!”
Confidently… Rose praised him for his dedication.
“Okay, then you handle it.” Rose wanted to close the door.
But Isidro was blocked at the door.
“Ms. Edwards, are you still angry with Mr. Roach because of Ms. Stewart’s matter?”
“Ms. Edwards, I swear on my honor that there was nothing between Mr. Roach and Ms. Stewart, it was all a misunderstanding on your part. Although Mr. Roach has never publicly acknowledged you and is often seen with Ms. Stewart, we insiders know that you are his secret girlfriend…”
Rose: “…Thank you, Isidro.”
Actually, you didn’t have to speak.
Rose was puzzled. How could Judson, a perfectionist who pursued perfection in everything, tolerate having a subordinate like Isidro, who was full of flaws in his work?
She wanted to close the door.
Isidro still didn’t leave, he pleaded, “Ms. Edwards, please, go back. You and I are both old people by Mr. Roach’s side. Mr. Roach values loyalty, and despite all the mistakes you’ve made, he has never really held it against you. Don’t be petty, if one day Mr. Roach really doesn’t want you anymore…”
Rose:
…Then I would thank the heavens and the earth.”
She really wanted to close the door.

Isidro said there were many things to tell her, but it turned out to be a long and pointless rant, like a scorned woman by a scu mbag.
Isidro held the door and suddenly shouted.
“Ms. Edwards, do you know what Mr. Roach did for you these days?”
