Isidro was taken aback.
Mr. Roach’s recent statement, is it not just directed towards Ms. Edwards, but he really is a bit tired…
But he lay in bed all day and didn’t attend to his work, so how could he be tired?
Lillian, upon seeing the situation, quickly displayed a gentle and caring smile, “Judson, I won’t disturb you, I…”
Get lost.”
Judson’s expression changed as quickly as flipping a book, “Did I ask you to come?”
Lillian stood still in her tracks.
In the past seven years, he had never spoken to her like this, nor had he ever shown such impatience…
“Judson…” Tears instantly filled Lillian’s eyes as she sobbed delicately, “You, you hurt me…”
Judson’s face did not improve in the slightest, instead it beeame gloomy as if the sky was about to collapse.
But what hurt Lillian the most was that he completely ignored her and only kept pressuring Isidro.
“Isidro, are you dead?”
Isidro woke up as if from a dream and almost pushed and shoved

Lillian out, “Ms. Stewart, Mr. Roach is very tired now and doesn’t want to see anyone. Please leave for now.”
Lillian also wanted to salvage the situation.
Bang!
The door of the ward was closed heavily.
Immediately after, with a loud noise, Isidro simply pulled the curtains over the observation window on the door.
He turned around, leaning his back against the door, and looked at Judson in a fit of rage, stuttering, “Mr. Roach… has… has left…”
Judson almost gritted his teeth, “All of it?”
་་
Isidro pecked his head like a chicken and said, “Yes, yes, Ms. Edwards, Ms. Stewart have both left… You can rest well now…”
Judson’s throat choked up and two words spilled out heavily, “Wei! Hong!”
How could he tolerate such a stu pid person for over twenty years?

Rose hadn’t even reached Jennifer’s ward when she received a call from
Darrin.
“I just heard that you were going to transfer to another department.”
Rose absentmindedly responded, “Hmm.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?” he asked, his voice carrying a rare hint of reproach.
“I… It’s nothing, I’ve already signed the papers. What department am I

not working in?” Rose is feeling a bit tired now.
Previously, in the company, due to concerns about Mrs. Roach, she was in a hurry to leave.
Lucy forced her to make an immediate decision, so she didn’t hesitate any longer.
“Just now, the HR department was waiting for my response, and I didn’t want to keep them waiting for too long,” she said. “I can be promoted in advance, and I am also very happy about it.”
On the other end of the phone, Darrin remained silent for a long time.
A silent pressure slowly flowed through the tranquility and reached Rose’s ears.
“Senior brother,” she couldn’t explain why her heart felt so heavy, “I’m sorry, please don’t be angry…”
“I didn’t.” Darrin almost immediately spoke up as soon as she finished speaking, with an urgent explanation, “I… Rose, where are you?”
“Hospital.” There was nothing to hide.
But Darrin clearly misunderstood: “What happened to Jenifer?”
“There was nothing…”
“I’ll be right there, don’t leave.”

When Darrin arrived, Rose was sitting in the hospital garden, feeling a sense of despair and hopelessness.
Sometimes, secondary harm can wear down one’s will more than the
first time.
“Rose, what’s wrong with you? Is Jenifer okay?” Darrin keenly sensed that something was amiss.
Rose looked up, her face calm and her expression gentle. “It’s alright, senior brother. Why did you come over?”
Chapter 58 He was just a fish in her pond (2)
Darrin breathed a sigh of relief, but then quickly explained, “I wasn’t blaming you just now, it’s just that you got the interview with
Maverick, so you could have been promoted in advance without having to transfer departments at all.”
Some words, when not said face to face, made him feel uneasy.
He knew that his personality had been formed and there were some temperaments that he couldn’t change, but he didn’t want to hurt her because of it anymore.
Rose smiled and her mood had already adjusted, “Is it not good to go to the finance department?”
Darrin hesitated to speak.
“Brother Shi has mentioned before that if there is an opportunity, I can go to another department,” Rose looked at him, “So, when the opportunity arose, I agreed.”
It was obvious that Lucy was using the condition of being promoted as a way to secretly force her transfer to another department.
What they said was that once we passed this village, this shop would no longer exist…
What was said before about promoting Maverick after interviewing her turned out to be a complete lie.
If today wasn’t so busy, Rose might have considered it more.
But now, thinking about it, there is nothing to consider.
Is it safe to stay in the entertainment club?
Darrin was worried about something, and Rose was well aware.
“Rose,” Darrin called her.
“Hmm?”
“Are you… alright?” Darrin asked.
Rose shook her head, “No, why are you asking like that?”
“You came to the hospital…” he wanted to ask something, but hesitated a bit.
“I got promoted today and also went to the finance department,” Rose stood up and tiptoed lightly. “How about treating my senior brother to a meal to celebrate?”
She interrupted him before he could ask the question.
Darrin chuckled and said, “Sure, what are you treating me to?”
“I am quite poor now,” Rose said, rubbing her fingers. “I may only be able to treat you to a street food stall…”
“I have no objection. Back in college, didn’t we also eat at restaurants outside?” Darrin agreed happily.
“Yeah, the small restaurants outside Rayvale Communication
University were all so delicious,” Rose said with a nostalgic expression as the topic naturally shifted. “It’s a pity that Rayvale was too far away…”
“No problem, the food and entertainment city outside Elland University was also abundant, shall we go take a look?”
12:42
“Sure!” the faint melancholy that had lingered around Rose earlier had dissipated, “But after eating, I’ll come back to check on Jenifer.”
Mrs. Roach is currently at Jenifer’s place, Rose didn’t come along well in the past.
Darrin nodded and joked with her as they walked towards the hospital exit, blocking Rose’s line of sight on one side while discreetly glancing at the garden behind them.

Judson stood there, staring at the receding figures of the two people without blinking.
The aura around him, could no longer be described as gloomy.
He was just one step behind, and she had already happily left with Darrin…
Rose’s fish, there were always more than just one.
“Go and get discharged,” he commanded Isidro.
Isidro’s heart was pounding, “Mr. Roach…”
Did Mr. Roach just come out of the operating room today and now he’s being discharged? Is he trying to kill himself?
Judson looked at him coldly, “You don’t want to do it, there are plenty of people willing to do it.”
Isidro followed Judson for so many years, and he can be considered as having done neither good nor bad. The most important thing is his loyalty, and he always puts his heart and soul into everything.
So even if he found some flaws in his work, Judson usually turned a

blind eye.
Chapter 58 He was just a fish in her pond (3)
Today was the first time, Judson threatened to replace him.
Isidro trembled as he went to the hospital to be discharged, while also filing a complaint against Mrs. Roach.
“Madam, Ms. Edwards was too impatient. Mr. Roach simply asked her to wait for a moment, but she followed Darrin and left! Mr. Roach was so angry that he wanted to be discharged from the hospital!”
Mrs. Roach…
Isidro’s only advantage was probably that he didn’t lie much.
Mrs. Roach shouted angrily, “Wait for a moment? I don’t know who the hell is taking Joe! If he wants to leave the hospital, let him go! Who does he think he’s threatening?”
She didn’t want to bother anymore!
Just pretend that I made a piece of flesh and destroy it!

“Ab bie, Rose will be reporting to you tomorrow,” Lucy raised her glass to Ab bie. “Have you decided what tasks to assign her?”
“We have had a lot going on in our finance department, we’ll see about it later,” Ab bie said with obvious delight. “Speaking of which, I thought Darrin was going to come and say hello, I had prepared a bunch of excuses, but, well, I waited in vain.”
“I had said before that Darrin couldn’t possibly have any genuine
feelings for her. Young girls, relying solely on their good looks, are just daydreaming,”
Lucy echoed Ab bie, “Could it be true that you’re really going to marry into a wealthy family? Wealthy families always emphasize the importance of matching backgrounds. Everyone knows about our Flourish Media, Ab bie, and you and Darrin, both families have already agreed…”
Lucy had initially wanted to stay out of it, to stay away from the chaos and danger. However, Ab bie found her and offered her benefits, clearly and explicitly.
Over at Flourish Media, there is currently a need for a second-in- command. Ab bie has promised that if Lucy helps her get Rose transferred to the finance department, she will recommend her for the position with a 90% certainty, ensuring her smooth promotion.
Man dies for wealth, birds perish for food.
Lucy then assigned Rose the task of interviewing Maverick.
According to the plan, this task was impossible to complete.
At that time, Lucy could use Rose’s poor performance as a reason to expel her from the department, and the finance department would step forward and take her in.
Unexpectedly, Rose actually got the interview transcript back.
This made things even easier.
Lucy directly threw out the bait, saying that she wanted to promote Rose in advance, but the condition was that she had to transfer to the finance department.
This plan, she discussed and discussed with Ab bie, and they
concluded that she would definitely go to Darrin to file a complaint.
I prepared a bunch of reasons in advance.
Unexpectedly, without hesitation, Rose signed the document and agreed to be converted to a permanent employee and transferred to the finance department.
And Darrin, also did not come to seek justice for a long time.
Things went so smoothly that after work, Ab bie and Lucy made plans to go out for dinner to celebrate.
The food court outside Elland University heard that a new and good barbecue restaurant had opened.
The two of them chose a window seat, where they could gossip and enjoy the view of the street.
At the moment, upon hearing Lucy’s flattery, Ab bie displayed a smug smile, but in an instant, her expression froze.
She stared fixedly out of the window downstairs, her gaze as sharp as a
knife.
Lucy followed her gaze and was instantly shocked, “That is, Darrin and…”
