Chapter 207 A Battle of Wits

As Finley stared at the mountain of documents in front of him, he felt the urge to ram his head against the desk and end his life. All he could do now was hope that Jonathan would be merciful.

"Ms. Shaffer, truth be told, I only made it over there in time because of Mr. Finch and your husband... He was the one who told me to go over. He was the one who was most concerned about your safety. Knowing that Jonathan was listening. Finley did his best to placate the former. Rose looked at Jonathan. She could not hide how taken aback she was when she heard Finley's explanation. Jonathan was in a pretty good mood.

Seemingly demurring, he cleared his throat and said to Finley, "Since you're busy, we won't force you. You should go home and get some rest soon."

Finley felt like he had been given a second chance at life. He nearly fell on his knees in gratitude.

Once the call ended, the atmosphere became a little ambiguous. Jonathan had no qualms about looking straight at Rose, but the latter averted her eyes to avoid him.

"What about Mr. Gibson?" Rose asked as she looked away.

Jonathan did not even inform Zac about the dinner.

"I think... he's probably too busy to come."

Without them, it would just be him and Rose. A date without two tag-a-longs was a lot more enjoyable. Rose was speechless. Were they both too busy to come? Why was her husband giving her a strange feeling?

"I'll go out and take a look."

Ever since hearing what Finley said over the phone, Rose felt like she was going to suffocate under Jonathan's gaze. She came up with an excuse to head outside, and Jonathan did not stop her. Even if she took a look outside, Zac would not be coming, so Jonathan did not mind wasting a little more time. The thought of them sharing a candlelit dinner tonight made Jonathan's mood soar. Just then, a voice called out...

"You're here, Mr. Gibson."

Just from hearing Rose's voice, Jonathan could imagine the warm smile she had on her face. His smile froze.
