Chapter 101 Someone Is Secretly Helping Her
Rose didn’t dwell on it. When she arrived at the company, she was surprised to find that the office was now fully occupied with people. Everyone appeared to be handling their tasks efficiently.
She thought she might be having a hallucination. Just a few days ago, there were only five people in the entire company, including herself.
Despite putting out recruitment notices, no one had applied for the positions. Now, it was a completely different situation.
“Good morning. Ms. Shaffer.”
The lovely receptionist at the front desk greeted her with a smile. Rose checked the company’s sign once again to confirm that it was truly her company.
Then, she responded with a smile, ‘Good morning.”
As she walked toward her office, everyone she met greeted her with smiles and warm greetings.
When she entered her office, she immediately summoned William to inquire, “What’s going on here?”
William was just as baffled as he replied, “I don’t know how this happened, but this morning, a large number of applicants arrived; they all seemed to have significant work experience. They appeared to be well–suited for the positions, so I hired some of them. Now, Henry and Shane are handling their onboarding.”
Not only Rose but also William, Sherlyn, and others found the situation suspicious too.
Almost every applicant seemed to be a perfect fit for a specific role within the company, even exceeding the company’s immediate needs.
As a result, William had to make a selection and retain the individuals who seemed the most suitable.
“Ms. Shaffer, could it be that someone is secretly helping you?”
He thought of Jonathan, Sherlyn had mentioned to him that Jonathan was Rose’s husband. He had inquired with Halney about Jonathan’s background the previous day.
However, he received a cryptic response, stating that he was just an ordinary person. However, Zac didn’t believe it. If he were truly an ordinary person, why would Halney look at him with such reverence?
He had an instinctive feeling that Jonathan was not an ordinary individual. Rose also believed that someone was assisting her.
She briefly thought of her star escort husband’s involvement but quickly dismissed the idea. He wasn’t capable of orchestrating such a grand operation.
Given the grand scale of assistance she had received, she concluded that it must have been orchestrated by someone she knew, either Evan or Miles.
After the celebration banquet, Evan returned to K&K headquarters. He was probably unaware of Celeste Jewel’s difficulties. That left Miles as the likely benefactor.
She understood that Miles had been helping her because her eyes resembled those of his sister. However, she couldn’t help feeling somewhat guilty about accepting help without a valid reason.

She decided to call him immediately. Miles had just finished listening to his assistant’s report. He had sent applicants to Celeste Jewels, and only half of them had been accepted.
The other half had been replaced by another group of individuals. He knew these additional applicants were sent by Jonathan. Just then, his phone rang. It was a call from Rose.
He raised an eyebrow as answered the call.
“Mr Young, thank you! The payment for the materials you arranged the other day has been sent, and you’ve also helped me greatly today. Rose said.
She was confident that Miles was the one who had assisted her. Miles didn’t know whether she had also thanked Jonathan.
After the gratitude was expressed, he responded, “Is that all you’re going to say? Isn’t that too little?”
Rose was momentarily taken aback. She immediately proposed, “How about dinner tonight?”
“Sounds good,” Miles agreed.
He was pleased with the invitation. Rose then remembered her star escort husband’s request for her to come home early tonight.
After a moment’s hesitation, she asked, “Can we meet tomorrow instead?”
“Tomorrow?”
Miles furrowed his brow.
“Do you have other plans for tonight?”
“Yes, I promised my husband to go back home earlier tonight.”
“Your husband…
As long as she was not spending time with Jonathan, anyone would be fine. Thinking about Jonathan’s warning last night, he instantly made a decision.
“Well, isn’t that unfortunate? It seems I won’t be able to make it tonight. I may not be available in the near future. I don’t want to disrupt your romantic evening. Ms. Shaffer I’ve only done a small favor for you, so don’t worry about it.”
He spoke lightly, but Rose felt a surge of guilt. Miles had helped her multiple times, and every time, it was more than just a small favor. She needed to express her gratitude properly.
On the other end of the line, Miles’s assistant reminded him about an upcoming meeting.
Realizing that he was about to conclude the call, she quickly suggested, “How about having dinner at my place in the evening?”
“Can 17” Miles inquired.
“Of course,” Rose replied with a smile.
“I’d love to meet your husband as well. I’ll see just how remarkable he is, considering he managed to
marry you.
