The Unbreakable Bond By Cornelia Darwin

Chapter 9

Rosalind was surrounded by compliments from people. If Rosalind was just a young girl, she would have blushed.

However, Rosalind was not a freshman anymore. She could tell if these prople were telling the truth or not.

Moreover, Rosalind knew that if she didn’t work for the BUT Group, she wouldn’t be flattered by these people even though she was now a famous designer. It was all about interest. Rosalind handled all the compliments decently

Before long, Jonas introduced Amanda to most of the big entrepreneurs

all. Rosalind greeted everyone courteously.

“You don’t like such occasions,” Jonas said firmly as he had been observing Rosalind’s actions for a while.

Indeed, Rosalind acted decently and graciously

But Jonas, who had been to various banquets all year round, found that Rosalind didn’t like this occasion very much. Rosalind’s every smile and every gesture was formulaic as if she were trained to do so.

Rosalind answered frankly, “It’s hard to say whether i like it or not. It’s just for work? Then, she raised her eyebrows at Jonas and said, “You’re quite comfortable with this banquet! You seem to be enjoying this kind of occasion very much!”

When they arrived at the banquet tonight, Rosalind was taken away by Jonas before she could react. She had no idea where Damian and Paulina went, so she could only follow Jonas

At first, RosMind thought Jonas was a bit frivolous, but now she overturned her previous impression of Jonas.

Although Jonas looked arrogant and unruly, Rosalind could perceive his confidence and dexterity when he chatted with those big shots who had been in the business for years.

Jonas was not an uneducated hedonist who came from a wealthy family. On the contrary, he was professional and his opinions were always on the mark and drew praise from those around him.

Jonas raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn’t expect Rosalind to say so, but he knew that what Rosalind said was not irony but real praise. His handsome face turned red suddenly.

At this moment, the water suddenly walked to Jonas and whispered, “Mr. Macaulay, the auction is about to start. Do you want to say a few words up

there first?”

Rosalind also heard the waiter’s words. Seeing Jonas looking at her apologetically, Rosalind said lightly, “it’s okay. Go ahead!”

In fact, she wanted to be alone for a while. She thought that the arrival of the water was definitely God’s best arrangement, so she hurriedly urged

Jonas to leave.

“Okay” Jonas agreed as he put the glass on the water’s tray and raised his eyebenss at the waiter,

Jonas ordered, “Take Ms. Amanda to the VIP seat. Ms. Amanda is my honored guest, so take good care of her!”

“answered the waiter with a slight nod. His etiquette was extremely standard, and it seemed that he was well–trained.

“Amanda, then I’ll excuse myself Jonas smiled apologetically at Rosalind and then turned to leave.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the entrance of the venue, and Rosalind noticed that people were moving toward the door.

“Mr. Brooks is here. Let’s go greet him?”

“Mr. Brooks attended this charity banquet in person! Looks like this is an important banquet, huh?”

“Don’t you know that? Mrs. Lauren Macaulay is the host of this banquet. Of course Mr. Brooks would come for her sake!”

“Well, that makes sense.”

Rosalind’s expression changed slightly when she heard the comments. Before she could eat the cherry in her hand, the juicy cherry fell from her hand and rolled to the ground.

She thought, “Mr. Brooks? Is it Leonardo?”

Before Rosalind returned home, she had already foreseen that she would meet Leonardo again. After all, they ran in the same circles, so they would meet agam Haldorin sooner or later.

Rosalind had anticipated countless scenes of meeting Leonardo again, but she still didn’t expect it to be so sudden

Aher so many years, Rosalind thought she should have forgotten Leonardo. After all, the years with him were not good memories, but Rosalind was sul a little nervous when she was about to see him.

However, when Rosalind thought about what happened to her father five years ago, the pain her mother suffered, and how she struggled with death, she took the glass of wine from the waiter and drank it down in one gulp Rosalind’s nervousness slowly calmed down.

Virginia wanted to hold Leonardo’s arm, but Leonardo dodged. Virginia was a little embarrassed, but in the face of those envious eyes, she felt no embarassment at all. She withdrew her hand, held her handbag, and greeted everyone with a smile.

Unlike Virginia, Leonardo’s expression was so cold that people could hardly see any other emotion on his face except indifference.

But everyone seemed to have been used to Leonardo’s indifference for a long time and didn’t feel strange at all.

Rosalind watched them walk side by side in the middle of the crowd with a wan smile. She had to admit that Virginia and Leonardo looked good together

Rosalind smiled bitterly and thought, “I should have realized t this long ago, shouldn’t I?”

Since college, Leonardo always stond by Virginia. As the president and vice president of the students” union, they were the golden couple in everyone’s eyes, and everyone thought they would get married.

Rosalind felt she was the third person, the extra one, inserted between them. Without Rosalind, perhaps Virginia would have been Leonardo’s wife already.

She thought. “Why was I so stupid back then to think I could capture Leonardo’s heart? What a presumptuous fool.

Thinking of this, Rosalind reached out to get another glass of wine but was stopped by a slender and powerful arm.

Damian walked to Rosalind and held her in his arms. He whispered in a low, magnetic voice, “My little sister, it’s all over. You should start your own Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Smelling the familiar smell, Rosalind felt extremely relieved. She thought, “Yes, everything was over. Now I had my career, children, and family. All that shit doesn’t concem me anymore
