Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 284

Rosa?

How could it be?

It had been three months since the Jessica Dawson incident.

Back then, when Natalia had been on Fortuna Island, she’d received an anonymous email with a recording attached. The same recording that she’d taken and played for media and police.

Because it had been anonymous, Natalia hadn’t known who’d sent it, but there was no reason to look a gift horse in the mouth, so she’d used it anyway.

And taken down the Dawson family with it.

Afterwards, Natalia had sent people to trace the origin of the recording. After a few twists and turns, they found out that it was something Rosa had left her.

She’d been shocked back then and had wanted to find Rosa to make it up to her.

But no matter how hard she’d searched, she couldn’t find where Rosa had ended up.

Because there’d been videos of her publicly testifying for Natalia and accusing Jessica of bribing her to drug and frame Natalia, Rosa had been a target of online abuse for quite some time.

Even though there were still plenty of people who believed in her and supported her, most people doubted her.

So, even though she hadn’t found her at the time, Natalia thought of it as her changing environments to quiet down for a bit, so she didn’t keep up the search.

She hadn’t expected to see her resume here today.

Natalia thought about it and sent a text to Rosa.

Then she looked at the phone number on the resume and called it.

It only took a few rings before it was picked up.

A girl’s clear voice rang out from the other end.

“Hello, who is this?”

“It’s me, Rosa.” Natalia said softly.

The receiver went quiet for an instant.

Followed quickly by Rosa’s shocked voice.

“Na…Natalia?”

Natalia smiled. “Yeah. You sound surprised?”

Rosa was caught off-guard as she explained, “N-no, I didn’t think you’d call me. How did you get my number?”

Ever since that incident, she couldn’t take the online and media harassment and had changed her phone number.

So there were only a handful of people who knew her number.

Hearing her question, Natalia raised an eyebrow.

That was a little surprising.

“I saw the resume you sent towards Star Entertainment so I just called the number on top. Didn’t you send the resume yourself?”

“No.”

Rosa said, panicking. She paused, then added, “I’m sorry, I didn’t think she’d send it to you. I’ve troubled you.”

With that, she made to hang up.

Picking up on it, Natalia hurriedly stopped her. “Wait.”

She frowned. “Why do I feel like you’re scared of me? I don’t recall offending you. Discounting the time that I had Nancy take you to the hotel.”

Rosa laughed awkwardly.

“It’s not like that, Natalia. You haven’t offended me. It’s just that I can’t face you. I’m looking for a job right now and that resume was sent out by my friend. She must not have been paying attention. I know you must hate me after all I’ve done to you… I’m really sorry.”

Natalia chuckled.

“No need to apologize to me. If it hadn’t been for the recordings you left back then, I wouldn’t have won so easily.”

Hearing her say that, Rosa went silent for a while.

“My own conscience hurt; that was all. I had to follow Jessica because of my mother’s disease, and every time I looked at the things she did, I felt like it would come back to bite. I couldn’t stop her, and oftentimes even became an accomplice. But I really didn’t mean it. That’s why I left those recordings in secret. It was also because I was afraid that I’d know too much and she’d want to silence me, so I left something to protect myself with. Afterwards, I heard about your mother, felt like it could be helpful, and gave them to you.”

Natalia smiled. “You were right, it did help. Are you still willing to help me going forward?”

Rosa froze, not taking her meaning.

Natalia came out and said it. “I need a secretary. Are you willing to come over?”

Rosa was overjoyed.

“Me? I-is it really okay?”

“Of course.”

Natalia always had a good eye for people.

Other than her misjudgment of Shawn’s character, she hadn’t had any other misses all these years.

Even with Rosa following next to Jessica before, she’d felt that this little lady didn’t look like she was as cold and ruthless as she seemed.

So there had to be some other reason she was being Jessica’s accomplice.

And the truth had proved her right.

Rosa couldn’t believe her ears, but after a while, she held in her laughter and asked nervously, “But I used to…”

“Leave the past in the past. So long as you promise me you won’t do it again, we’ll have no problems.”

Rosa hurriedly agreed. “I promise I’ll never do anything like this again.”

Smiling, Natalia nodded, then shot a look at the time on her wristwatch.

“All right, it’s getting late, so I won’t keep you. You should know how to contact Elsa. If you’ve got the time these few days, go to her and she’ll arrange everything for you.”

Rosa said yes excitedly and thanked her again.

Natalia hung up.

Knowing that she was getting off work, Nancy drove over. They were shooting near Eqitin, so if she got off early, she usually went right back to Pinewood Manor to spend the night.

And Nancy was her bodyguard and driver.

Even walking over from a distance, Nancy could see her standing there beaming, so she asked curiously, “Did something good happen, Natalia? What’s got you so happy?”

Natalia relayed what had happened with Rosa.

Nancy was a little speechless after hearing that.

She shook her head. “You say you’re a good judge of character, but I still worry. She… probably won’t contact Jessica again, right?”

The Dawson family had been toppled, but Jessica hadn’t been locked up.

Natalia was too busy dealing with something else to trouble herself over her, and by the time she sent out people to investigate, they couldn’t pick up her trail anymore.

Whichever way you spun it, she was just a toothless mongrel now, and she didn’t bother wasting more energy on her, so she’d left it alone.

Hearing Nancy ask her that, Natalia thought about it and shook her head.

“Rosa’s a cautious girl, but she’d not a bad person. You can see that from the way she values her own mother. She might be a bit selfish in her love for her, but she can’t be that rotten. And considering she helped me by saving that recording, I should return the favor!”

Nancy frowned.

Natalia added, ‘After that incident, everyone knows she betrayed her employer. Even if they didn’t do anything wrong and never abused their assistants, not many people would be willing to give her a chance. She says her resume reached me because a friend sent it for her, but it might also be her way of testing my attitude by sending it to Star, since she’s got no options left. After all, other than me, who else in the entire entertainment industry would be willing to use her?”
