Chapter 111

After all, when he first met that person, it was in this small town.

However, probing further now, he seemed to be overthinking.

“It’s not you,” he simply remarked that she was not the one.

“Not what?” Rosalie thought, confused.

“I have to drive later, so no wine for me, Calvin replied.

Rosalie’s expression suddenly darkened. Memories of the car crash and her unjust sentence for drunk driving, despite her being sober, echoed in her mind.

“Back then, your accident was also due to drunk driving, wasn’t it?” His voice abruptly broke the silence. “Is that why you found a job at the Environment and Sanitation Administration as a cleaner?”

“At least I still have work to do,” Rosalie answered with a touch of self-mockery.

“Would you like me to talk to the Environment and Sanitation Administration and get you a less strenuous position there?” Calvin offered.

“No need,” Rosalie declined. After all, it was a heavy burden to accept favors from someone like the scion Calvin.
