“William?” Rosaline tentatively called when he did not say anything for a while.He only hummed in response and did not speak, making his displeasure evident.She turned over in his arms to face him. She held his face in her hands and made him look at her.“You look so cute when you are sullen and pouting. Did you know that?” Rosaline asked.William glared at her.“Why don’t you ask me the things that are bothering you?”“Three years, and you never asked anyone about me. You even interrupted people when they tried to tell you. Why?”“Because our relationship does not need interference from any third party, including Tessa.”“I think boyfriend/girlfriend is a temporary relationship, someone replaceable. I call you that for lack of a better word.”“But in my heart, I see you as my partner - equals, halves, and permanent.”“The way I see it, couples, husbands/wives, and partners are one unit - one united front. I don’t want someone else to tell me how you are doing. Or how you feel.”“I

The dinner ended on a high note as they stopped talking about serious stuff and started joking and sharing things they had missed out on over the last three years.William hardly talked but listened attentively to them, especially when Rosaline would share things.They finished the dinner and worked together to clean up.Tessa stocked even one-quarter of the bowl worth of remaining dishes. William found it funny.It was not hard to see that it was not just because the food was tasty but because Rosaline had made it.Once they had cleaned up, they slumped on the foot of the couch with wine and continued their chit-chat.William sat behind Rosaline, wrapping her in his arms. Tessa snorted at him but did not comment.Rosaline leaned into him as they talked endlessly.William had known they could talk non-stop for hours but was still surprised to see it firsthand.The other thing he was pleasantly surprised with was that they did not gossip.They must have spent around three hours chattin

The people from the Marketing and research team were indignant. It was one thing to be criticized by William, but for an unknown nobody to say the work they had spent three weeks on was useless was a heavy blow.Someone finally muttered discontentedly.“The people who play games don’t respond to surveys. The turnover has always been low.”“That’s because you ask the wrong questions and offer uninteresting incentives.”“Why would a person who spends over a thousand dollars in games every month care about some 10 dollars worth of shopping vouchers? Not only would it disrupt the game, but he would also have to spend more money to use the 10 dollars.”“What’s your suggestion then?”“Ask them if they want to be the VIPs who would receive the release or upgrade of the newest AR group software a day before the global release if they help you with the survey.”“What? How is it possible to release a product in advance for a select few people?”“William, can that be done?” Rosaline asked Willi

One day, Asteria happened to be alone with Rosaline in the pantry.She felt awkward. She thought she had done something wrong by liking her man, so she held her head low.Rosaline started the conversation to her utter dismay.“You are Asteria Scott, right? Danial Scott, global CEO of Scott group’s daughter.”“Umm, Yes.” “Nice to meet you. I should have talked to you sooner. I am sorry.”“Uhh?”“Ah, I guess Mr. Scott did not tell you. You made an oil painting that your father hangs in his office.”“Yes. What about it?”“It is brilliant - vibrant colors with unearthly innocence. I begged your father to let me study it carefully for some time. You have no idea how hard he grilled me for that.”“What?”“Yes, I bet he values that painting more than his company. He was afraid I would ruin your masterpiece, so he had a dozen conditions before he allowed him within one meter close to it.”“Really?”“Of course, Miss. Scott. Why would I lie to you? The truth is I owe you.”“You owe me?”“Yes.

The next day everyone had breakfast before they went to the CARE foundation of M city.William had been here before, so he directly left to check the security and other details.Tessa, Albert, and Felix had been heaping around for some time, so they also toured the grounds and talked to the people, getting to know everyone a little.Rosaline took Asteria to the art room, where Jasmine spent most of her time at her private desk.Jasmine smiled at Rosaline when she saw her. But she instinctively shrank herself on seeing a new person.Rosaline went up to her and talked to her gently.“Hey, Jas. How have you been, girl?”“I…I am okay, Miss Rosy.”“Rosy, just Rosy Jas. Remember what I said - my fellow art enthusiasts call me just Rosy.”“Ohh..okay, Rosy.”“What are you working on?”“This…this is you…you and your…your boyfriend.”“You drew William and me together. Oh Wow. Thank you so much.”“I…I hope. It’s okay.”“Of course. I just realized we don’t even have a picture together. I will han
