"What are you doing here? Isn't there a VIP lounge outside?" Roseanne said as she arranged her dress.
No sooner had she finished, she saw the man walking toward her.
His dark trousers were neatly pressed and his black shoes stepped down the three marble steps behind the door of the dressing room.
Seeing her sitting motionless on the sofa, Park Jimin looked at the hem of her dress, which she had been deliberately arranging, asking, "Your stomach is bothering you again?"
"No, it's much better than yesterday." Although she said so, her stomach still had a dull ache, but it was not as painful as it had been yesterday on the first day of her period. And she bought a warm paste at a nearby supermarket this noon, so now she felt less pain.
She asked, "Isn't the party a few hours away? Anyway, I've put on my dress and my hair has been done, so I don't want to bother with it anymore and will just sit here to rest."
Park Jimin glanced across her lightly made-up face and saw that she was in good shape indeed.
"Come here."
"What for?"
The man just looked at her without speaking.
Roseanne looked at him silently for a long time, got up and walked over. Although the pair of high-heeled shoes went well with this dress, the heel was high and slim. The tallest heels she wore in London were just 10cm, but this was at least 13cm. As she approached him, the difference between the two of them in height became even more apparent.
Ignoring the woman's eyes who had been measuring the difference of their heights, Park Jimin looked at her as she approached staggering. "Your shoes are not comfortable?"
"No, I was sitting in the wrong position and my legs went to sleep." It was not the problem of the high heels...
They were standing right in the middle of the large dressing room and their figures were reflected in the huge floor-to-ceiling mirrors on the wall.
Park Jimin motioned for her to look in the mirror. Roseanne turned her eyes, but her shoes were too high for her to turn, so she simply turned around and faced the mirror. "What's wrong with my look? Or is there anything wrong with my makeup today that will make you lose face?"
The man, however, lifted up the few little bits of gauze on her shoulders, and when she was about to speak, his kiss fell on her shoulder.
Roseanne was still looking at the mirror and saw this image. Before she could respond, he grasped her slender waist under her dress, and another kiss fell on her white neck.
Her neck was her sensitive spot. Roseanne shivered and was about to flee, when the palm holding her waist suddenly tightened, and as he fastened her to his arms, his kiss on her neck grew heavier.
Roseanne sensed what the man was trying to do and frowned. "Park Jimin, if you dare to leave mark on my neck, I..."
Before she could finish, she felt the pain of being sucked from the place where the man's soft lips rested on her neck. She stared at the man in the mirror in disbelief, only to find that he had no intention of letting go, even extending the kiss to her ears. When Roseanne's eyes were almost bursting with fire, he chuckle and his low and hoarse voice fell into her ears. "I've already left a hickey. What do I do? I might as well leave a few more?"
She angrily turned back to hit him, but before she could turn around, the man easily wrapped his arms around her waist to keep her in the same position in front of the mirror, while taking out a necklace. She saw at a glance that this was the classic white diamond necklace of Vca. Unlike the common necklaces in the market, Vca's classic white diamond necklaces were shaped with geometric figures. The white diamonds were arranged in regular order on the chain of the polyhedral stars, looking brilliant but not pompous.
The necklace perfectly covered the hickey he had just left on her neck. Under this necklace, only god, he, and she knew there was a hickey and no one else would see it.
When she saw that the mark was covered, Roseanne choked back the angry rebuke that was about to leave her lips.
This foxy and shameless man!
She did not know how many times she had scolded him recently in her heart, shameless, foxy, bastard. She scolded him in the heart repeatedly, but was still angry.
After helping her to put the necklace on, the man's slender and well-shaped fingers brushed against her soft earlobe, and she shivered again, wondering if he had also bought her earrings.
As she expected, he picked up a pair of diamond earrings matching the necklace and compared them under her ears. Although this was the first time he has worn them on a woman, his innate keen observation had allowed him to quickly figure out which earring to wear on which side.
After the earrings were put on, the man was obviously very satisfied with his masterpiece. He stirred the earrings she was wearing and his eyes deepened as he watched the glitter dangle under her white soft ears.
Roseanne pursed her lips and said deadpan, "CEO Park, these diamonds are too pompous."
The man smiled but his smile was cold. "Roses are not pompous?"
"..."
She knew it!
He still remembered the roses.
"If you say so. After I wear these to the party tonight, can I cut off all the diamonds and give them to others one by one? Just like what you did to my roses."
The man was still smiling but she could clearly feel the temperature around him dropped by two degrees. "Roseanne Lin, are you trying to piss me off?"
Roseanne pursed her lips, rolled her eyes at him, and then ignored him.
This was a resting room and there was no surveillance camera here. If Park Jimin shamelessly left a few more hickies on her neck and shoulders, she would be ashamed to go out tonight.
She realized that although she was now in her period if this man really wanted to have sex with her, he would still do it with her even if she had metrorrhagia.
Besides, the jewelry works of Vca were so well-made that she might not be able to pick the diamonds out.
_____
Roseanne caused quite a stir when she appeared at the banquet hall.
Everyone was stunned by her beauty.
But the most important reason was that she showed up with Park Jimin as his female companion.
These people belonged to the so-called "Capital Circle," so many people didn't know them, but with Park Jimin's influence in the domestic business circle, any circle wanted to draw him in. Many people were sucking up to him. But after all, the people of "Capital Circle" were very proud, even if they wanted to curry favor with Park Jimin, they just looked polite but not quite fawning. Although these people were self-important, as soon as they saw Park Jimin appear, they couldn't help coming over and proposing toasts to him.
They didn't know if Park Jimin had ever been married, but they all knew he never brought any women with him when he went out to parties.
They didn't expect CEO Park to bring a female companion with him who seemed to be a good match for him.
After all, there were a lot of ladies who pursued Park Jimin. It was said that there were several young ladies in the capital who even chased him all the way to Seoul but they all came back in frustration without even seeing him. No one could imagine what kind of woman he would like, nor could they imagine how well-matched they looked when he actually had a woman standing next to him.
No matter in temperament, appearance, or other aspects, they looked very suitable for each other. When they appeared, they caused a sensation.
Some people curiously inquired about Roseanne's identity, wondering which family she was from, or who had given her to Park Jimin. This girl was so lucky as to become CEO Park's female companion.
Roseanne took the glass handed over by the other party and answered with a graceful smile, "My last name is Lin and I'm the CEO of the AP Group. Nice to meet you."
The people who approached her to ask who she was were surprised to hear her answer, then remembered the rise of the AP group in London three years ago, and the famous female entrepreneur, Roseanne, who was ranked in this year's Forbes list.
No wonder she could stand shoulder to shoulder with Park Jimin. She was here not because of her family background, but because she was that CEO Lin of the AP Group who was very famous in recent years.
Roseanne never cared much about the looks of others, and they were all strangers she had just met today. As the night went on, she took the glasses that were handed to her and remained indifferent and graceful. There wasn't much champagne in each glass, only a sip or two at most. She drank a few drinks and followed Park Jimin.
She was so obedient tonight because she knew she represented the AP Group here and shouldn't act too arrogantly or lowly. Otherwise, these arrogant people of the "Capital Circle" would look down upon her. After all, there were many bosses of domestic well-known enterprises at this party, who could become partners of the AP Group.
On the other hand...
Before arriving at the party, Park Jimin reminded her that Busan was far more complicated than Seoul.
So she was safest with Park Jimin.
As the saying went, those who suited their actions to the times were wise. Although she did not want to make up with him, she'd better stay with him now.
Park Jimin was the No.1 big shot in the domestic business circle. Even in the "Capital Circle," no one dared to mess up with him. With him behind her, she could be safe.
Park Jimin took a look at Roseanne beside him, who kept her hands on his arm, never letting go.
The man grabbed a piece of cake from a passing waiter's plate.
"Why are you so obedient?"
"This is a banquet in capital. Neither the atmosphere nor the circle is the same as in Seoul. I don't know anyone else except you. But if I had a second choice, I would never follow you like this," Roseanne answered honestly and forced a smile.
The man didn't seem to mind her saying so but just smiled and handed her the cake.
Roseanne. "...is it proper to eat on such an occasion?"
He glanced at her. "So 'The Number One Beauty' dares not to eat in a banquet?"
Roseanne: "..."
She had attended many banquets since she was a child. She had long been used to secretly taking the delicious food and trying them at a corner after having small talks with people. Many times, she got drunk in some corner and was carried home.
Roseanne was not a glutton, but she had been attending these parties with Lin Mason since childhood. She had long ceased to be interested in these parties and was only interested in passing the time with something to eat, or she would be bored to death by those hypocritical faces.
Roseanne curled her lips and didn't say anymore.
Before coming to the party, Park Jimin knew she would be hungry at night, so he asked Xiumin to buy some food to put in the car, but Roseanne didn't eat it in the car, and the dessert was left behind.
She didn't want to get the car dirty, so she didn't eat the dessert.
But she was really hungry now, especially when she was in her period. In her period, if she was cold, tired, or hungry, she would feel weak.
She took the cake, found a single sofa in the corner, and sat down to eat.
There were people sitting around, chatting about work cooperation and casually drinking
Roseanne was brought here by Park Jimin. Although she was stunningly beautiful and she was the CEO of the AP Group and didn't look as cold as Park Jimin, those men with big stomachs dared not to hit on her. She just sat there eating and didn't even look at those men.
Park Jimin was talking to a man coming by, who was all smiles and saying something to him. His indifferent expression showed that he was the one who was flattered. People came and went, greeting CEO Park constantly.
