Out Of Luck In Love

“Rose.”

“Hello, Miss Springs.”

Rose had gotten into her house and was sitting on her couch.

In front of her was Ninian’s perfume.

“This is my house. It’s not right for you to barge into my place like this,” Ninian said in a hostile tone as she stared at her.

She hated people who dropped by unannounced.

“Your house?” Rose smiled and twirled the keys in her hands. “If it’s your house, why do I have the keys?”

She got up and went over to Ninian. “Are you seriously telling me that you don’t know that this house was actually meant for me? I didn’t want it, so Conan gave it to you instead.”

Ninian’s breathing stuttered. As she stared at Rose, she pursed her lips and clenched her fists.

Even the house was for Rose?

“This perfume too.” Rose picked up the bottle on the table and spritzed it in the air.

“Do you have a habit of touching other people’s stuff?” Ninian reached out to grab the bottle.

Out of all his gifts, Conan had put the most effort into this one.

Rose easily avoided her and said coolly, “How would you know that this is for you and not for me? Do you know the name of the perfume? It’s called Stone Rose. Conan hired a perfumer to make this for me. It’s one-of-a-kind.

“Miss Springs, I’m being nice and giving you a reminder here. It’s time for you to accept reality.”

Rose left.

Ninian was the only one left in the house. At that moment, she felt as if the place was like a cage, and she was the bird being kept inside.

Rose was right. It was time for her to accept reality.

She threw away all of the gifts Conan had given her, aside from the handbags.

After she found a new house she liked online, she intended to move.

Once her ex-colleagues learned that she was leaving, they could not bear to see her go, so they invited her for a karaoke session as a farewell party for her.

The party was at Crimson. Ninian arrived at 8 p.m.

When she opened the door, Ninian immediately saw Conan. Rose was beside him. She immediately wanted to leave.

“Ninian, you’re here!”

But she was too late. Someone dragged her in.

“Ninian, look at how respected you are! Even Mr. Stone has come!”

Ninian frowned. If she had known that he would come, she would not have come here.

“Mr. Stone, who’s the person beside you? Why don’t you introduce us?”

One of the executives who had been working with Conan for years teased him. Ninian looked up and saw Conan holding Rose’s hand.

“I forgot. This is my girlfriend, Rose Charlemagne. She just came back.”

At that moment, Ninian could hear her heart shattering.

She had been looking forward to Conan admitting that she was his girlfriend for seven years, but he declared someone else as his girlfriend instead.

Things got awkward in the room. Everyone turned to look at Ninian.

Over the years, she was the one who had kept Conan company, and everyone saw all that she had done for Conan.

They had thought that she was the one who would marry him in the end. Even Ninian herself had thought so.

“Come, let’s toast to Mr. Stone’s girlfriend!”

The people started cheering. Conan looked at Ninian. “What about you? You’re about to leave the company. Aren’t you going to drink at least once?”

Ninian’s stomach was weak, and it was all because she worked too hard for Conan.

The doctor had told her that she could not drink.

“I can’t drink.” Ninian looked down and picked up the glass of water on the table. “I’ll toast you with water instead, Mrs. Stone.”

She practically hissed the last two words.

Despite drinking the glass of water, Rose was not satisfied with it.

“You’re not willing to give Rose a proper toast after resigning? You don’t respect her at all, Ninian.”

Her resignation letter was still in the car. At the thought of her throwing a tantrum with him, Conan felt frustrated.
