Chapter 57
No matter what Jacob’s intentions were, Rosalynn was still grateful.
Over the years, carrying the burden of being Wayne’s secretary, no matter how well she did, people would always give Wayne the credit.
He was one of the few who spoke up for her.
Jacob was also in a good mood, finally seeing a genuine smile on Rosalynn’s face, and even the cafeteria food tasted better.
After lunch, Rosalynn was heading to the downtown area.
“Most of the issues have been resolved, so you’ll have to work on the follow-up work,” Rosalynn returned to her indifferent professional demeanor.
“Are you going straight back to H City?” Jacob asked.
“I have a flight booked for tonight,” Rosalynn answered.
Jacob smiled, but deep down, he felt a bit unhappy for some reason.
Why was she in such a hurry to go back to H City? Who would she meet after she going
back?
“Secretary Tesdal, I hope you took my advice from yesterday to heart, Jacob couldn’t help. but add
Rosalynn glanced at him. She didn’t bother to explain any further.
What if she told him something and he immediately went to tell Wayne? Wouldn’t that effect her escape plan?
“Well,” she responded perfunctorily and reached for the car door.
Seeing this, Jacob quickly opened the door for her, “When I said I wanted to invite you to dinner in H City after we come back earlier, I meant it.”
“You’re too kind. I’m just doing my job,” Rosalynn paused, “If President Silverman knew about my private contact with you, he wouldn’t be happy either.”
Jacob’s hand stiffened.
Rosalynn then closed the car door, and the business vehicle sped off.
Jacob stood there, dust flying into his face.
He waved his hand in front of his eyes, and soon after, Wayne called him.
Jacob glanced at it, emotionlessly picked it up.
“I heard everything’s been taken care of over there?” Wayne asked.
Jacob could faintly hear Maddie’s voice on the other end.

“You’re announcing your engagement so soon?” Jacob gave an irrelevant answer
“Yeah Heatherway and I have agreed that we both want to complete these procedures as soon as possible so we don’t delay our upcoming tasks,” Wayne said, “Where’s Rosalynn Jacob didn’t respond.
Wayne thought his signal was poor, “Jacob?”
“Wayne, leave Rosalynn alone,” Jacob said sternly.
This time it was Wayne’s turn to be silent.
Since Jacob had already started, he went all in, “Didn’t Rosalynn say it the other day? Her mother was driven to death by a mistress, and she wouldn’t be a homewrecker in someone’s marriage. Now that you are about to announce your engagement, just leave Rosalynn alone and let her go.”
“Jacob,” Wayne interrupted him coldly.
“You’ve crossed the line.”
Jacob felt a chill down his spine, only to hear Wayne continue, “Since you’re so curious about how I will treat Rosalynn later, I might as well tell you. Rosalynn was mine in the past. she is mine now. And she will still be mine in the future.”
“Wayne, are you trying to drive her to death?”
“She won’t die, I’ll treat her even better than before.”
“You…”
“Enough,” Wayne scoffed, “You’re being so serious that I’m beginning to suspect you have some inappropriate thoughts about Rosalynn.”
Jacob was taken aback.
