Chapter 428: New Year’s Eve (2)
When Rose and Evan arrived in the living room, most of the family was in the room, chatting happily. Divided into two groups, men on the sofa near the fireplace and women in chairs near the television. Rose joined the women and sat down next to her mother.
She was in a good mood because Oliver had sent her a text message a few minutes ago to let her know he was on his way here with James and Danny. They’d probably arrive in five minutes.
"Mom, I invited my friends Oliver and the others to join us. Can you prepare dinner for them, too?" whispered Rose.
Molly was surprised. Her daughter invited her office friends, "Sure. How many?"
"Three. You know Danny and James. They’re my college friends. They are now the directors at the Wilson group...." When she saw her mother nod, she continued, "So they’ll be coming with Oliver."
"You did a good job inviting them to come. They must not have time to return to East City, right?"
"Yes, mom. They’ve been working hard since joining my company, and Wilson Group has made great progress this year. So, I was thinking of treating them when they are around. Tonight, they will come here straight from the office. I feel bad for them because I never had the chance to help them with their work when I was injured. I am grateful they continue to do their best when I’m not around. They helped me greatly to take my mind away from work and help expedite my recovery. So... yeah, I invited them to come..."
Rose smiled at her mother before continuing, "I hope you don’t mind me inviting them."
If it weren’t for Oliver and the others, the Wilson Group wouldn’t have grown so fast. Next year, they have made many plans to further the company’s development.
