Her Secret Mate
Chapter 48 Attract Another Man

Rose was about to kneel down. That was her only wish. As long as Jeremy stayed here tonight, she had her way to make him drunk as a lord. She failed last time, and she didn't know who got the advantage. But this time, she absolutely wouldn't allow herself to fail.

She was determined to get Jeremy.

As long as something intimate happened between her and Jeremy and got revealed, the Fu family would definitely let them be together under the suppression of public opinion.

By then, no matter how much Jeremy loved Fiona, the Fu family would not let them continue to love each other.

She would be well and truly married. It didn't matter if he didn't love her at the beginning. She had the whole lifetime with him and let him fall in love with her.

"Jeremy, please. I'm begging you." Noticing that Jeremy didn't change his mind, Rose took his hand and begged him again and again.

Ray was almost insane. He couldn't stand it anymore. He pulled away Rose and said, "Is that enough? Rose, you know that Jeremy has something else to do now, but you are still behaving like that. You and he are just friends."

"I know, but I want to drink with him. Ray, can you help me?"

Rose cried bitterly and swallowed the beer.

The smell of alcohol was very bitter. She was choked and felt uncomfortable all over. She kept coughing and begged intermittently.

Jeremy didn't want to drink it. If he drank it again and if something would happen, He couldn't explain it clearly.

He walked straight to the door. Just when Rose was about to catch up with him and Ray stopped her.

Rose stared at Adrian with anger.

She thought at least Ray would help her, and he also promised her to do so. But at this moment, he was putting a crimp in her plan. She could not bear it, and she was so angry that she was trembling all over. After they went out of the private room, Rose gave him a heavy blow on the chest.

She complained with tears, "You said you would help me, but now, you didn't take my words seriously."

"Rose, don't cry."

Ray was at a loss for words. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Jeremy didn't have a thing for Rose, but she herself couldn't see it.

Well, he had decided to help her and he wouldn't give up halfway.

He took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Honey, Jeremy won't stay tonight. Don't you understand? If I help you this time, I will completely lose Jeremy's trust."

At least, Jeremy was grateful to him just now. From now on, he could still get more information about him for Rose.

It dawned on Rose that she really made a scene tonight.

She looked down at herself and grabbed Ray nervously, "Was I not elegant just now? Oh no! Will Jeremy be disappointed in me?' I must be crazy tonight. I just want to get him this time." "Don't worry."

On the other hand, after Jeremy returned to the villa, he went straight to Fiona's room and found that the bed was huddled up, and then it immediately became flat and quiet.

He felt warm in his heart.

He walked quietly towards her and took the quilt off her head. "Can't you sleep?"

"I fell asleep."

Jeremy touched her forehead. He liked her behavior. She was worried about him all night. Even if she was very sleepy, she forced herself not to go to sleep, just waiting for him. For the first time in so many years, Jeremy had known the meaning of home.

No matter how much hardship he had gone through, he was satisfied that at least there was someone waiting for him.

He held her face in his hands and asked with a smile, "Will you stop pretending to be asleep? A sleeping person can still talk?"

Feeling awkward, Fiona had no choice but to open her eyes.

There was no change in his clothes except for the intensified smell of wine.

That was good.

"You are like a little mouse." He love to see her sniffing at him.

"You are so excellent. I am afraid there is another woman."

Jeremy liked her honesty. It was also because of it that tonight, he was thrilled and hugged her tightly.

"Don't belittle yourself. In fact, I'm not as good as you think."

"I'm not a good woman." The corners of her mouth twitched. She asked timidly, "Can you give me a chance to explain if you replace that I have cheated you one day?"

She hoped that he would give her a chance, and she was willing to.

Of course, Jeremy was willing to, so he nodded without hesitation.

They became closer and closer as time went by. In the following days, after finishing the final exam of the semester, Fiona had a problem that she had to intern with the cast. She had got the information from the school.

She was thinking about how to tell Jeremy. After all, it might take the whole summer vacation if she went with the film crew.

Seeing her being annoyed, Gail couldn't help but ask, "Fiona, you already have a successful life. Why do you still frown?"

"I did not have a successful life!" She had nothing but Jeremy.

"Think about it. Your husband is the second son of the Fu family. It's said that his brother can't have a baby in the future. Although it is said that the second son doesn't have the chance to inherit the fortune of the Fu family, who knows what will happen in the future? With your help, he has to concentrate on the company affairs and might have his grandfather change his mind."

Gail was really saying that for Fiona.

Although the appearance of Jeremy was good, the he couldn't bear the fact that he was described by the news as an idiot and had no status in the Fu family.

He nodded his head approvingly, "He is really outstanding."

The Gail snorted, "You're not modest at all."

"Why should I be modest? He is a good man indeed." As the problem occurred to her, Fiona grabbed the Gail's hand and asked, "What do you think I should say to him when I go to intern?"

"Go ahead to tell him directly. It's easy."

"But..." Fiona hesitated.

As an idea occurred to her, Gail said worriedly, "Oh, my God! Francis will be there too. Oh my God! Mr. Fu must be jealous."

This was exactly the problem which troubled Fiona. If Francis was not on the list, she could have gone there boldly, but now things had gone wrong.

Francis who had already given up this opportunity previously. But now he joined in the project again.

The two girls stood outside the classroom, ready to go home. Francis came and greeted them, "Hello, Fiona."

"Mr. Lu."

The Gail didn't leave. Instead, she kept her eyes wide open as if she was staring at an disloyal woman. Seeing this, Fiona almost laughed out.

Francis was a little embarrassed. He didn't know what to say. Everyone knew that the future would be like this as long as he and Jeremy decided to get married. But the way that Gail saw them seemed to mean that she was so afraid that he would do something bad to Fiona.

At least he was a gentleman.

Noticing the hostility in Francis' tone, Gail explained, "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry. We're friends. But we have to keep our guard up, in order that she won't attract other men."

Ignoring her words, Francis asked, "Are you an intern at the Studio City?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
