Matthew and Rose looked at each other. "Rose, in my heart I think we are more like friends than colleagues."
"Mr. Matthew, we are subordinates when we are working together, but we are friends in life. It is my honor to have such a true friend like you." Matthew cared about Rose and had helped her a lot here, and he was kind, so she naturally became friends after getting along with him.
"My pleasure, too." Matthew took a sip of his coffee. "Is your grandfather all right?"
"Yes, he's fine," Rose said, "All we want to do now is respect his decision and fulfill his wish, and do our best to make him happy every day."
"That's good. It's more important to be happy every day than anything else," Matthew comforted her.
"That's what I thought, so I came back to work." Rose smiled, trying to suppress her bitterness, and then changed the subject, "What about you? Have you worked things out with Velina?"
"No, my mother is forcing me to marry her, but I really have no love for Velina. I only treat her like my sister. It's impossible for us to be together, and even if we get married, we will be unhappy in the future. So, it would be better not to start than to get married and get divorced. That's my respect for her, so I don't want to compromise just because my mother forces me to marry her." Matthew frowned when he talked about it.
"So, you haven't gone home, and you've been staying in the hotel? That's not to best way to deal with the matter." Rose was also worried.
"I know it's not the way to tackle the problem, but what can I do about it? It's my mother, and I can't break the relationship with her." Matthew rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache. "Or do you have any good way to help me?"
"Marriage is a private matter between you and Velina. If you can convince Velina to give up or ask her to tell your mother that she doesn't want to marry you, I think the matter can be resolved." Rose thought it was the best solution if Velina could give up the marriage on her own initiative.
"You can have a face-to-face talk with Velina, get to know what she thinks, and then talk the things over. Velina also seems to be a well-educated girl, and she should understand you."
"Yes, I will try," Matthew nodded, "By the way, your return to the office today is something worth to celebrate. I'll take you out to meet your colleagues."
"No, we all know each other." Rose didn't want to make a sensation.
"It's fine." Matthew got up to open the door and went to the design department with Rose.
People were surprised and happy to see Rose.
Matthew said to the suspicious crowd, "Designer Rose has returned to our design department since today."
And then he applauded. The crowd began to applaud, but some people did not want to.
"Well, to celebrate Rose's return, I'm going to treat you to dinner tonight and then to karaoke."
Matthew was very generous.
Rose didn't expect Matthew to make such a big sensation, but she knew that some things were just for fun, so she didn't say anything to spoil everyone's mood.
Rose went back into her office and Amy knocked on the door with a cup of coffee. "I'm so glad you're back, Rose," she said.
"I saw you grinning from ear to ear just now." Rose looked at the clean and tidy office and the feeling of those working days came back.
"I thought you wouldn't come back when you have gone so long, especially Lily and some guys... they wanted to sit in your seat. When Mr. Matthew said you would come back, I was sure you would, and it did."
As she tidied up her desk, Rose listened to Amy and smiled without saying a word.
"Rose, what are you thinking? You have no idea how much I've missed you since you took your vacation." Amy said sweetly.
