Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife-Chapter 598
Chapter 598: Chapter 598
Maria stared at Rosemary resentfully as Romeo insisted on her departure. With a heavy heart, she turned and left.
"I’ll get you a new mug later," Rosemary comforted the man before her.
"Could we get a few more?" Romeo bargained with her. "One just won’t do. Put it on my card."
The cleaning lady, Celina, entered the office to tidy up and was taken aback to see Romeo cradling a woman and speaking to her softly.
She had been cleaning at McMillian Corporation for almost a decade, and it was the first time she had seen Romeo so intimately close with a woman.
This woman must be one lucky lady.
Seeing Celina picking up the shattered pieces of the mug, Romeo promptly said, "Celina, I still need those."
"You still want them, even though they’re broken?" Celina looked at him in surprise.
"Aren’t we getting you new ones?" Rosemary thought there was no need to keep the shards.
"We could make a picture frame or a small piece of wall art," Romeo explained to Rosemary, then turned to Celina. "Sorry for the trouble."
"No trouble at all," Celina smiled. "Seems like this mug holds a special place in your heart. I see you using it daily. It must be a gift from this young lady here. At your level, you could have any mug you want. It must be from someone special that you still value it even when it’s broken."
At her words, Romeo affectionately looked at Rosemary. Every gift she gave him held a special meaning to him.
"This young lady is very beautiful. She’s just as lovely as you. You two are a perfect match," Celina praised as she cleaned up the shards.
"Thank you for your compliments, Celina," Rosemary replied gently. "Take your time. Don’t hurt yourself."
"Ah, alright, alright." Celina found Rosemary very gentle and down-to-earth, despite being with Romeo. She instantly took a liking to them.
"Shall we go to the cafeteria for dinner?" Romeo asked the woman in his arms. "Let everyone see how beautiful my fiancée is."
"No, I should head back," Rosemary checked the time.
"Join me for dinner." Romeo, who rarely got to see her, was not going to let her leave so easily. After much coaxing and with Celina’s help, Rosemary finally agreed.
It was quitting time, and McMillian Corporation was bustling with people, most of them heading toward the cafeteria.
Romeo and Rosemary walked hand in hand, attracting a lot of attention as soon as they stepped out of the CEO’s private elevator.
"Oh my god, is that Mr. McMillian? He has a girlfriend? Since when?"
"She looks so young and beautiful!"
"He’s actually holding hands with a woman at McMillian Corporation. Are they going public?"
"My god, am I hallucinating or dreaming? Someone pinch me. My dream man is actually smiling—and at a woman."
Many employees were surprised, their eyes fixated on the couple. The sight of Mr. McMillian in love, approachable and handsome, left them entranced.
"Who is that woman? Isn’t Mr. McMillian’s fiancée Serena from the Collins family?"
"Right, Serena even came to our company to find Mr. McMillian. Haven’t seen her in a while though."
"Did they break up? Does Mr. McMillian have a new girlfriend?"
"This woman is much prettier than Serena, and her aura is not something rich girls can match."
"Does anyone know who she is?"
Everyone shook their heads. They would have remembered such a stunning face.
All of the employees who passed by Romeo and saw him whispering sweet nothings to the woman beside him were dumbstruck, forgetting even to greet him.
Those who managed to snap back to reality just in time to greet Mr. McMillian found it impossible to take their eyes off the couple.
This was the first time Romeo had so publicly introduced a woman in a public place, not even attempting to hide his affection and love for her.
The rumors once circulated that Serena was his fiancée, but the two were rarely seen together—let alone in intimate moments like this.
When Romeo, hand in hand with Rosemary, walked into the cafeteria, the hundreds of employees on the first floor were stunned, unable to believe their own eyes.
"Are you satisfied with this reaction, Mr. Romeo?" Rosemary knew exactly what he was thinking.
Romeo didn’t hide it, smiling at the girl next to him. "If I could, I’d announce it to the world, let everyone know that you’re all mine."
"Mr. McMillian."
"Good day, Mr. McMillian."
"Mr. McMillian, you’re dining in the cafeteria today?"
With every step Romeo took, quite a few people greeted him.
He nodded in response, turning to the girl beside him. "You’ve never been to this cafeteria before. What do you think?"
Rosemary’s eyes scanned the surroundings. "The environment is quite nice. The variety of dishes is also abundant. Looks great."
Suddenly, she felt the layout of her company’s cafeteria was too small. It needed some improvement.
"Let’s get some lunch." Rosemary approached a counter, just about to pick up a tray when Romeo beat her to it.
"I’ll get it. Just tell me what you like."
The trays were a bit greasy. He didn’t want to dirty the girl’s hands.
This was a self-service station. They could take whatever they fancied, as much as they could eat.
"This one, this one, and this one." Rosemary pointed out the dishes; Romeo took care of grabbing them.
The employees sitting not far away were once again flabbergasted.
Mr. McMillian was actually serving the girl himself.
Soon, Romeo’s trays were filled to the brim. He asked the girl to hold onto the hem of his shirt as he led her up to the second floor.
This area was usually only accessible to executives, with few people. He purposely chose a table where the employees on the first floor could look up and see them.
Rosemary noticed his intentions and couldn’t help but laugh. "Really?"
"Of course. It’s rare that you come here. I want everyone to know that you’re the most important one. Wait here for a moment."
Romeo personally wiped the table and, after putting down the food, he wiped her chair as well. Only then did he pull out the chair for her. "It’s ready."
Rosemary chuckled. "I just remembered I haven’t read those love letters your office colleagues wrote you."
"Don’t read them," Romeo immediately said. "There’s nothing worth reading. It’s all nonsense. You eat first, I’ll go grab some more."
"This is enough." Rosemary was afraid they wouldn’t finish it all.
"It’s rare that you come here. Try a few more dishes."
Everyone watched as Mr. McMillian went to several counters to get more food, then carefully placed each dish in front of the girl, thoughtfully picking out the bones from her fish.
They were green with envy.
When did Mr. McMillian ever show such a tender side?
This girl was so lucky!
