Lukas picked up the internal line directly, "Mr. Parker, please escort Miss Gibbs out."
Rose awkwardly adjusted her shoulder strap, picking up her outer layer from the ground in a fluster.
Design Department.
Furious, Raven sat next to Reese, defending her, "How could that woman say something like that? She made it
sound like Rose Gibbs has already becour boss's wife!"
"Moreover, even if Miss Gibbs really marries Mr. Strakovski in the future, does that give Miss Styles the right to
be arrogant? She's just a third-tier minor celebrity, thinking too highly of herself. Besides, she's only Miss Gibbs's
best friend, not our boss's wife. Who does she think she is?"
Raven was fuming, thinking about Miss Styles attitude towards her and Reese earlier, it was driving her crazy.
Reese remained calm. She glanced at Miss Rivers and blinked, "Don't be angry. Maybe Mr. Strakovski is already
married!"
Miss Styles was just a clown, not worth her attention. So, she could remain unruffled.

Raven was a bit surprised, "Huh? How could that be! Everyone knows that Mr. Strakovski is a golden bachelor!"
Reese looked at her and smiled, not saying a word.
A hidden-marriage golden bachelor?
Although her marriage with Lukas was just a contractual arrangement with a tlimit, the fact that he was
married was indisputable!
When Rose cto the Design department, Miss Rivers was still chattering in Reese's, "Reese, I've been
thinking. How is it possible that Mr. Strakovski isn't married? After all, if he were married, how could nobody
know?"
Reese smiled and remained silent.
Just then, Rose entered, "Miss Roberts, where's Anika?"
Reese was momentarily taken aback and stood up, looking at her, "Miss Styles is
in the meeting room. By the way, Miss Gibbs can go in first. I'll get the design drafts for you to look at!"
Rose shook her head, "No need, | don't have any other requirements. I'll let you take care of the design. | believe
in your abilities!"
Reese's eyes flickered, "Alright, then. I'll accompany you and Miss Styles." Rose nodded.
Seeing Rose, Anika acted as if she had gained support. She cleared her throat and asked in front of Miss Roberts,
"Rose, why did you cdown so quickly?"
Rose's eyes flickered and she whispered, "He's busy today. | must understand him. We had a conversation, and
then | left."
Anika linked arms with her and walked towards the exit, asking ambiguously, "So, what secrets did you guys'
share?"
Rose glanced at Reese from the corner of her eye and didn't want to reveal her relationship with Lukas in front of
others.

She whispered, "He said he's too busy today to entertain me, but he'll compensatein the future!"
The word "compensate" carried significant meaning.
Anika immediately raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of envy as she smiled, and she even provocatively glanced
at Reese, "Did he say when he'll give you a status?"
Rose instantly blushed and looked embarrassed. She shyly whispered, "Don't make up stories!"
Reese's heart sank slightly. She watched the two of them and escorted them into the elevator.
Turning back to the Design Department, Reese began to ponder. If Lukas really intended to give Rose a status,
then it might be tto end this contractual marriage.
Lukas's influence still existed, and my father probably wouldn't dare to act recklessly now.
Before she divorced Lukas, she could arrange for her uncle to go abroad in advance. That way, her father
wouldn't have any leverage over her anymore.
Reese took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to Lukas.
Reese: [Mr. Strakovski, how about... getting a divorce?]
