Counterback of the Despised Luna by Diana West

Chapter 51 Argue with Me

Caden’s POV

Finished

The real reason I didn’t want to go back wasn’t just to avoid my mother finding out, but because I wanted more time with Rosaline.

Whenever I returned home, she would lock herself in her room and stay hidden away.

Grandpa had a point–I really needed to find ways to spend more time with her, just the two of us.

I wanted to understand her on a deeper level.

I narrowed my eyes and leaned back, but no matter how hard I tried, my attention kept drifting toward her.

Rosaline’s hands were firmly clutching the steering wheel as she drove, completely absorbed in the road, unaware that I had been watching her the entire time.

The streets were peaceful under the night sky.

The neon lights outside, shifting hues, flickered through the car window, casting an almost magical glow on her.

I glanced at her profile and spoke quietly, “Rosaline, Stella’s been let go from the company. What’s your opinion on that?”

“Hmm?” Rosaline seemed a bit confused, pausing for a moment before responding, “She had it coming. Plus, she hurt you tonight.”

I turned to her, my tone more serious, “What I meant was, I’m thinking of promoting you to head the secretariat department.”

Although Rosaline had only been with the company for half a month, her skills were more than sufficient

for the role.

I wanted to offer her more chances to grow.

To my surprise, she declined without a second thought, “No, thank you.”

I was caught off guard, “Why not?”

The position of head of the secretariat at Eclipse Group was one that many would eagerly fight for.

Yet, Rosaline had turned it down so casually.

She answered calmly, I’m thinking of what’s best for you. Think about it–there are still over two mo until we call off our engagement. After that, I’ll be gone, and you’ll have to find a new leader. It’s better make a smart choice now and pick someone you’re both satisfied with and capable of handling the role.”
