With You For the Rest of My Life novel Chapter 12

The next day, Rose was awakened by a series of knocking at the door. She rubbed her painful head to open the door. She did not expect that a strange woman was standing outside the door.

"Hello, Mrs. Gu. Mr. Gu and the old Mrs.Gu asked me to take care of your diet and daily life these days." The woman had her hair in a bun and didn't wear any makeup. She smiled at Rose gently.

Rose froze for a while and nodded.

"What's your name?"

"Mrs. Gu, just call me Sophie. Breakfast is ready on the dining table on the first floor. You can wash and then have breakfast. "

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." Sophie had been taking care of people for a long time, so she didn't feel nervous when she saw the tiredness in Rose's eyes. She went to the bathroom of the guest room and fetched some hot water and prepared a clean towel. She soaked it in hot water for a while before she took it out and dried it. She handed it to Rose, bowed slightly and went for quilt cleaning.

The woman in the mirror had cried all night with her eyes red and swollen. No wonder Sophie handed her a hot towel to cover her eyes.

Rose forced a smile towards the mirror and covered her eyes with the hot towel. Until she felt that her condition was getting better did she put on her clothes and went downstairs.

The breakfast Sophie prepared was some light food, which was exactly to Rose's taste.

"Mr. Gu said you like porridge and flowering cabbage. So I made some for you. Come have a taste." "Mr. Gu went out early this morning. I prepared seafood porridge for you, but Mr. Gu said that you didn't like it. So he asked me to make a new one," explained Sophie to Rose as she picked up the china bowl

"Thank you."

Rose took over the steaming porridge and held the spoon. She thought of what Xavier said to her the other day. Recently, the Gu Group did have a lot of trouble.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the ringtone.

Glancing at the caller's ID, Rose held her phone, walked to the balcony and picked it up.

"Hello."

"Mrs. Gu, I have prepared the divorce materials you want and the evidence has also been collected." The man on the other end of the line reported formulaically.

"Okay," Rose looked at her watch, "See you at three o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow in the same place."

In the CEO's office in the Gu Group's building, Burke was sitting straight at his desk with a straight face, throwing the documents in front of his subordinates.

"Explain it."

"Mr. Gu, it's..." The project manager who was standing on the other side of the desk was already sweating. He bowed and complained in his heart.

The new CEO, Burke, was young but not easily fooled.

The Gu Group had many old problems, and now as Burke came, he would readjust Gu Group in less than a year, dragging these middle-aged men to work overtime together.

It was nothing serious to work overtime, but Mr. Gu was very strict on all the work.
