Jirose part 3

When men's feelings towards women are concerned, even though a man may have seen a woman only once, as long as an impression has been formed, it becomes very easy to turn obsessive.

The feelings Jimin had for Rosé were somewhat complicated.

The first glimpse of her graceful form had left a favourable impression on him. However, when he found out about her situation, found out that she had once been enthralled by that man's charms, found out that he had kept her captive and captivated for several months, and then, found out that the man had finally been shot dead in her arms.... how should he express his thoughts and emotions? No one close to Jimin had ever encountered such a situation.

Inexplicably, he felt both oppressed and distressed on her behalf.

Two months later, Jimin once again visited Lin City and met Rosé. This time, it was in his capacity as a business partner.

He had originally intended to shift the focus of his undertakings to the southwest, and Rosé was now the owner of the strongest corporation in Lin City. Interaction between them was unavoidable. On the day of their reunion, Rosé was looking through several statistical reports in the company's top-floor office. The secretary came in to report, "President Roseanne, President Park from Beijing has arrived."

Rosé nodded, and felt a faint sense of delight.

It had nothing to do with love. It would definitely move you to have such a man pursuing you, caring about you, and teasing you during the most difficult time of your life. Although she had rejected him, they could still be friends.

After a while, a tall, clean-cut man walked unhurriedly into the room while hiding a smile. The secretary at the door had previously received flowers on Rosé's behalf on countless occasions, and thus a fleeting smile appeared on his face. Rosé smiled politely at Jimin and said, "President Park, please sit."

Jimin's initial plan to adopt a formal 'I am here to negotiate a major project' tone failed as he laughed suddenly. He raised his eyebrows, and spoke as if in disbelief. "What did you call me? President Park? Have we grown so distant after not seeing each other for just two months? Rosé, just call me 'Jimin."

Rosé had thought that they had turned the page on what had happened between them. When she heard his words, she looked up into his eyes, which bore an expression which was like a smile, yet not quite a smile. For a brief moment, she had no idea how to reply. Jimin then brought out a sheat of plans from his briefcase and casually handed them to her, saying, "Come on, let's get to business. There's no rush to talk about private matters."

Rosé: "..."

Some people are born to bring happiness to others.

Such as Jimin, Rosé had never met a company boss and scion of a top party official who was like Jimin. All day long, he was slovenly, while his mouth could spout nonsense like none other. There was nothing proper about him at all. Whether it was a business meeting, or a business lunch, he was capable of making people rock back and forth in laughter.

However, he was completely clear and logical when it came to real work. Rosé had learned how to conduct business only from Chanyeol, and had just started to figure it out, when it all came to an abrupt end. Moreover, Jimin's business style was different from Chanyeol's. He was not as ruthless as Chanyeol, but was even more cunning. Sometimes, when he came up with fresh ideas, Rosé would find herself dumbfounded and entirely at a loss for words. And, at other times, she was completely unable to follow his strategies for arbitrage trading.

Naturally, at such times, Jimin would take one look at her slightly glazed eyes, and would then sit down beside her in high spirits and smilingly explain everything clearly and carefully. As his concluding statement, he would always say, "Call me any time if there's anything you don't understand. I'm available 24x7!" Rosé really did call him at 3 o'clock one morning. It was the eve of some big project, and she had stared at the data on the investment report without being able to make clear sense of the numbers. She felt bad about asking her subordinates and ended up calling him. They talked until 5 a.m. Rosé thanked him sincerely, and was just about to hang up, when he interjected, "Ai ai ai! Don't hang up! I'm already at your office building, come down and have breakfast."
