She took two sips of water from the table, smoothing her chest to make herself comfortable.
Looking at the culprit in front of her, she curled her lips and said, “I don't like icebergs like you. Personally, | like spring better!” Ellen heard her and his eyes darkened. No one knew what was on his mind.
Joseph gave her a wicked smile and said, “Why?” “Can't you see I'm already frozen into a snowman?” She said and glanced at the masked man next to her.
“Do you want me to turn up the heat a little more?” Joseph pressed his lips together.
Rosemary rolled her eyes at him. It was not a funny joke, okay? Well...
“Well...So you're saying that icebergs like us are doomed to be single?” Asked Joseph, frowning as if fearing for his lifelong happiness.
“Just because | don’t like it doesn’t mean other people don't like it! You guys look good, and you're so... You guys are gonna knock a lot of girls off their feet.” Rosemary said seriously.
With that, she lowered her head to eat her steak. She was afraid that if she said any more, the ice sculpture next to her would make the air temperature drop rapidly! Joseph was sipping the wine thoughtfully, with a dark smile on his face.

“You had the nerve to call me?” Rosemary said into the phone with a look of disgust on her face.
Confused, Nathaniel asked, “Rosemary, what did | do to you?” “I was slapped three times today by someone who adored you. Do you think we should put this on you?” Rosemary said as she pursed her lips.
Nathaniel smiled cheekily and said, “I had no idea this was going to happen. Don’t be angry! Why don't | take you out to dinner tonight and make amends?” “Forget it! I'm gonna stay away from you. | don’t want to go to work tomorrow and get slapped again.” She just hung up the phone.
There was still a faint smile on her face. She did not notice that the temperature of the whole room had plummeted.
She turned to see Joseph's enlarged, handsome face frozen as ice.
Rosemary smiled awkwardly, “What are you doing here?” “Miss Harris, we've always been here!” Joseph replied coolly.
“What?” Rosemary turned to see Ellen's cold eyes on her. Her dry throat made her swallow and she moved aside a little unconsciously.
“Miss Harris, are you afraid of me?” Ellen asked as he cut the beef with a knife and fork.
“No...I'm not. Why should | be afraid of you?” Rosemary said with a smile, and looked down to gently slice the steak with a knife and fork.
The room was so quiet that the sound of breathing could be heard. Rosemary was cutting the steak gently with a knife in one hand and a fork in the other. But the steak seemed to defy her, and she could not cut it.
Ellen took a look at Rosemary, then he took her plate with his long hands and started to cut the beef slowly.
Joseph's hands were frozen in midair. His cool, frosty face looked at Ellen's movements in wonder.
Rosemary looked at Ellen in awe, unable to believe what she was seeing.
“There you go. Take your time!” The cold voice pulled back Rosemary's thoughts.
Rosemary took the steak carefully and said with a smile, “Thank you...” Ellen looked at her and said coldly, “Never mind!” Tittering...
At this point, Joseph spitted out a mouthful of wine. He said sheepishly, “I'm sorry! | didn’t see this coming.” However, the smile on his face did not diminish.
It was as if a basin of cold water fell on Rosemary's head, and she was freezing cold.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Does he think he’s great because he wears a mask? | was telling him thank you out of common courtesy. He really thought of himself as a king on high.” Rosemary chewed her steak and despised him.
“Miss Harris, does your face hurt? Do you want me to get you a doctor?” Joseph said tepid, catching Rosemary off guard.
Rosemary looked up with a charming smile, “Thank you for your concern, | AM FINE!" Joseph touched his arm and saw goose bumps. He might as well eat his dinner.
Just as the old saying goes, “You don’t want to win an argument with a woman.” “I'm glad you're okay!” It was getting late and Rosemary saw them finished eating. She said with a smile, “Thank you both for lunch. I still have a few things to do. | will treat you later.” She must be polite. They were not going anyway.
Rosemary thought to herself.
“Since you're so sincere, how about tomorrow night?” Ellen said quietly.
What?! No way! A man of his wealth would care about my dinner? Rosemary put her hands on her forehead. Wasn't she doing this to herself? Joseph was laughing so happily inside, but he pretended to be very reserved. “See you tomorrow!” “OK, fine. See you tomorrow!” Rosemary picked up her bag and quickly walked to the elevator, afraid that she would be caught back if she walked slowly.
“Ellen, didn’t you realize she wasn’t going to actually invite us to dinner just now?" Ellen glanced at Joseph and said dryly, “No, | was just trying not to disappoint her.” There was a faint smile on his lips.
“Rosemary, | was just on my way to see you!” Rosemary just got out of the elevator when she saw Tina walking towards her.
“Where's your friend?” Rosemary looked around.
Tina stepped forward and took her hand, “She has gone back. | didn’t expect to meet her here.” “Okay!” “What's the matter? Are you in a bad mood?” Seeing Rosemary was listless, Tina looked at her and asked anxiously.
Rosemary told Tina all about her dinner with Ellen. “Do you think I did this to myself? It took me a long time to get out of that freezer, and | have to go back in there tomorrow..." Tina patted Rosemary on the shoulder with a sympathetic look, saying, “Good friends should share the joys and sorrows, so...” “Tina, | knew you were the best!” Rosemary hugged Tina happily.
Tina shrank her neck and grinned, “You'd better go by yourself!”
