Female Novel
Chapter 210
Chapter 210 “Now, another man wants me to tie his necktie for him, but how long will we last?” Rosalie wondered. She didn’t know. Rosalie never dared think about a future with Jonathan, even though they both hadfeelings for each other now, and he had accepted her infertility. After all, the gap between them was massive to begin with. Although they were dating now, she wasn’tconfident there would really be a future for them. “What’s wrong?” His voice interrupted her wandering thoughts. “Nothing. Can you… bend down?” Rosalie asked. Because of their height differences, it was a little difficult for her to tie his necktie for him if he didn’tbend over. Jonathan bent down compliantly, which also closed the distance between their faces. She raised her hands and gently lifted his collar before placing the tie around his neck, beginning tohelp him tie it. “You know that I’m putting my life in your hands now, right?” Jonathan’s voice suddenly sounded in alow tone. Rosalie’s fingers abruptly stilled, and she gazed at the face that was mere inches from hers. “You just need to tighten the tie if you want to end my life now.” He smiled lightly, looking alluring andrefined. “So, in this life, you’re the only woman who can tie my necktie. There will be no other womenbesides you, Rosie.” When Rosalie arrived at the diner, Jonathan’s smile and the things he said still lingered in her mind.“He said… There will be no other women who can tie his necktie for him in this life…” she mused.
No matter whether his words would really come true in the future, he was extremely serious about hernow, at the least. Contrary to her, who feared picturing a future with him, he had already envisionedtheirs. At half past one in the afternoon, the diner received an order of 20 fast food meals in total. As thelocation was a little far from the diner, it would take 40 minutes to go back and forth.
Rosalie only learned that a shooting was ongoing at the location upon sending the food over, and the20 fast food meals were ordered by the staff there. At present, it was the film crew’s break time, so many people were either eating while standing,squatting, or sitting on a small stool. Of course, most of these people were either extras or regular film crew staff since the main casts wouldhave better benefits, such as a private lounge. Rosalie put down the food and was about to leave when someone stopped her. “Hey, why is there aninsect in your boxed meal?” Rosalie took a closer look and, indeed, found an unknown insect lying in the boxed meal. Sheimmediately frowned. This boxed meal didn’t look like someone had started eating it yet, and only thelid of it was opened. Earlier, when she entered the kitchen, she had seen the chef packing the food into the lunchboxes withher own eyes, and this insect wasn’t on the surface of the food then. Not only that, but each lunchbox was packed in its individual plastic bag, so it was unlikely for insects tofly into the lunchbox during delivery. “Then, this is probably…” pondered Rosalie. Sure enough, what the other party said next also indirectly confirmed her speculation. “How about this? We don’t wanna make a fuss either. Just refund us the money for these 20 fast foodmeals and pay us another 1,000 dollars as compensation. After all, some of us here have alreadystarted to eat the food you guys sent. Who knows if there are any insects in the rest of the lunchboxesas well?” After this person finished speaking, several others also stood up and surrounded Rosalie, obviouslywanting to put some pressure on her. Rosalie scanned the surroundings and noticed this was a semi-outdoor establishment-a coffee shopthat the film crew rented for the shooting. There was a surveillance camera on the left front of wherethey were currently situated, but she didn’t know if it had been turned on today due to the shoot. Further away, some fans were squatting outside, blocked by a circle of fence. Some of them were
resting while others were still holding their phones up, seemingly for the sake of taking photos of theiridols as they waited for a chance to see the celebrities. “Well, it’s not up to me. I’m just a delivery person. I’ll let my boss know about it.” As Rosalie spoke, shetook out her phone and called Amelia to tell the latter about the situation. After hearing Rosalie’s words, Amelia instructed, “Just come back first. Tell them I’ll talk to them afterthe diner closes today 1/2 11:13 Chapter 210 if they have any conditions.” Rosalie didn’t put the call on speaker, so the people surrounding her didn’t know what Amelia had justsaid. “Okay,” Rosalie answered before ending the call and putting away her phone. However, she secretly switched on the recording function of her phone as she put it away. “How is it? When will we get the money?” asked someone who appeared to be the leader. Rosalie chuckled lightly. “Did you know that 1,000 dollars is already considered a large amount in thecrime of fraud? If one is sentenced, the imprisonment can be up to three years.” The expressions of the people around Rosalie suddenly changed. “What do you mean by that? Are yousaying that I’m committing fraud?” “The evidence will prove whether you are or not. Look, there are still many fans holding their phonesaround here. Maybe some of them accidentally captured something on their cameras. In addition, thisorder cannot be refunded. As for this boxed meal in question, we can leave it to the police to handlejust to be fair for everyone.” Those people exchanged glances before the leader glared daggers at Rosalie. “I’m warning you; you’dbetter tell your boss to compensate us accordingly. Otherwise, don’t even think about operating thatdiner anymore.” novelbin
“Is this a threat?” Rosalie countered. “Yeah, it is. So what?” That person was blunt. Right then, Rosalie could say with certainty that these people had already plotted to extort money fromthe diner from the beginning. “I’m just an employee, so it’s unnecessary for you to threaten me. As for this lunchbox, you can keepthe evidence and let the police handle it. Also…” Rosalie trailed off, looking at those people coldly. “Ifyou guys really want to do something irrational to our diner, I can tell you that I will definitely file alawsuit and sue you. By then, it will no longer be solely a matter of 1,000 dollars.” Rosalie knew Amelia wasn’t well off, especially since Aiden’s hearing required a lot of money to treat.Even if he installed cochlear implants in the future, money still needed to be spent on training coursesto teach him how to listen and speak. Therefore, the moment Rosalie warned those people, she had already thought of asking Jonathan forhelp if necessary.
