The Ceo’s Convict Wife

Chapter 138

At present, many people in Strico knew that Yvette and Zachary had been engaged and would get married soon. However, when Elodia mentioned Zachary, she also reminded Rosalie that he was her ex-boyfriend as if to deliberately suggest something

Rosalie stared at Elodia and suddenly understood something.

Elodia was stared at by Rosalie, and a trace of uneasiness flickered across Elodia’s face. She felt that Rosalie could read her mind by looking at her.

But then she calmed herself down. After all, Rosalie was no longer the new star in their field.

In the past, she and Rosalie entered the law firm together. However, only Rosalie attracted everyone’s attention. Elodia was just a supporting character.

Everyone believed that Rosalie would be successful both in her career and in romance and said she would soon become an independent lawyer. Elodia could be nothing but jealous of her.

Every time Elodia made a mistake in her work, her instructor would ask her to learn more from Rosalie, which made her aggrieved but helpless. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Rosalie was a big source of her stress. As long as Rosalie was a member of the firm, others would always compare them at

the same time.

Then, Rosalie would always outshine Elodia

So, when Rosalie ran into trouble, Elodia was actually happy. She even felt that heaven helped her cause Rosalie trouble. Sure enough, after Rosalie went to jail, no one would compare her with Rosalie anymore.

“Sorry, Rosalie. I’m just concerned about you. It must be tough to be a sanitary worker. Elodia pretended to be sympathetic

to Rosalie.

“It’s okay. I’m fine,” replied Rosalie. She thought at least being a sanitary worker was much better than living in prison.

But Elodia obviously felt that Rosalie was telling a lie. She said, “Your life must be hard. You have to clean the floor and garbage bin every day. It’s said that when people have been sanitary workers for a long time, there would be an unpleasant

smell on them.”

As Elodia spoke, there was an evident contempt in her eyes.

“If you think I’m smelly, stay away from me,” Rosalie said bluntly.

Elodia’s face stiffened, and then she smiled “We’re old friends. I won’t mind it. By the way, when are you free, you can come back to the law firm! Everyone misses you.”

Elodia’s voice was warm as if she was inviting Rosalie, but in fact, her words were like a knife that pierced Rosalie’s heart hard.

Being a lawyer was Rosalie’s dream. When she realized it, she believed that one day she could become a famous lawyer who was able to punish evil people and spread kindness, working hard for justice,

But now, this dream was undoubtedly completely destroyed.

Elodia looked at Rosalie’s gloomy look, feeling even more excited. “By the way, I also have a boyfriend now, and he is a doctor. He is waiting for me outside now. How about introducing him to you later?”

“No need,” said Rosalie indifferently. “I also get a friend waiting for me outside. I’m leaving now.”

“What’s the hurry?” Elodia continued, “You don’t have a boyfriend, do you? My boyfriend is a professor in college, and he knows many people. Maybe he can be a matchmaker for you.”

Then she followed Rosalie all the way out of the bathroom.

Elodia yelled at a man who was of medium height standing outside the bathroom, and the man immediately walked over. Rosalie looked at the man who came over. He looked ordinary and middle- aged, but he was a little older than Elodia. It seemed that he was almost 40. Obviously, this should be Eluda’s boyfriend.

“Ronin, this is my former colleague, Rosalie. What a coincidence! I bumped into her in the bathroom today.” Elodia continued, “Rosalie, this is my boyfriend Ronin. He is a professor at Virtuoso University”

Elodia looked triumphant as she talked.

But Ronin quickly corrected her. “Don’t get her wrong. I’m just an associate professor.”

“After two years, you’ll be a real professor,” said Elodia disapprovingly, and then she asked Rolle, “Where is your friend why is waiting for you outside?”

Rosalie looked up but didn’t see Jonathan.

She wondered if he had left before.

However, Elodia thought that Rosalie just fabricated an excuse by saying that she had a friend, so she said, “How about we find a place to catch up? We can discuss with Ronin if there is someone suitable for you. Last time, he said that it was difficult for some back-office workers in his university to find girlfriends. There should be some guys that are of the same age as you.”

Then Elodia said embarrassedly, “Don’t you mind going on a blind date with those unimportant workers? Actually, I want to introduce some single male teachers in the university. But as you know, those teachers usually require the females they re going to date to be upright. You may not satisfy their needs. But don’t worry. Although those workers don’t have high salaries and are not well-educated, they are hard-working and good at dealing with people.”

Rosalie was amused by Elodia, who was talking nonstop. She had never said she needed a boyfriend and wanted to have a blind date, but Elodia was anxious to arrange a blind date for her.

“I don’t want to go on a blind date.” Rosalie declined Elodia with no hesitation.

Elodia’s eyes were wide open, and she looked at Rosalie in disbelief. “Are you dissatisfied with the guys I’m going to introduce to you? Rosalie, I think you should be more grounded. You are not as outstanding as before. It’s better for you to lower your standard, or you may lose the chance to find the right one…”

“Is there someone trying to arrange a blind date for you?” A voice suddenly sounded in Rosalie’s ears, which also made Elodia shut up abruptly.

Jonathan walked to Rosalie in a trench coat and handed her a cup of bubble tea. “I remember that you said you wanted to taste this brand’s bubble tea before. I saw the store just now, so I got a cup for you. Do you like this flavor? If not, I will buy you another one later.”

Rosalie received the bubble tea. It was warm. When she held it, she got some heat from the bubble tea.

She glanced at the brand name printed on the cup. She heard of this brand when a piece of news said that the bubble tea store was newly opened in Strico, and then she told Jonathan that this bubble tea brand got a lot of fads online. She said since there was a branch in Strico, they could have a try when they went shopping next time.
