The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 88

In the days to come, the scar on her palm would likely continue to fade, much like what had happened between her and Jonathan. With time, it would all become less prominent, almost as if nothing had ever happened.

Rosalie gently clenched her fist and walked out of the Environment and Sanitation Administration.

She hadn’t gotten very far when a silver-gray Porsche blocked her path. Stepping out of the car was none other than the man who had been the subject of discussion among the girls from the Environment and Sanitation Administration. It was Calvin.

“Do you need something?” Rosalie asked.

“I’d like to invite you for a meal as a thank you,” Calvin said. He opened the passenger seat door, clearly expecting Rosalie to get in.

“You don’t need to thank me for the bracelet. I didn’t do much,” Rosalie replied, lifting her foot and attempting to bypass

him.

Before she could take more than a step, his hand abruptly rose, barring her path. His phoenix-like eyes fixed on her, veiled in an enigmatic gaze that left Rosalie unable to decipher his intentions.

“I’m not accustomed to being indebted to anyone, so I must treat you to a meal,” he insisted firmly, his tone leaving no room for refusal, and his gaze deepened.

Rosalie bit her lip slightly. A person like Calvin probably wasn’t used to being turned down. The more she resisted, the more he might persist. It might be easier for her to accept the meal.

Besides, if he had intended to harm her, he could have done so last night!

Rosalie didn’t say anything more and climbed into the

passenger seat.

Calvin then closed the car door and returned to the driver’s seat before driving away.
