Chereads / The Senator's Wife / Chapter 7 - Paving the Chase

Chapter 7 - Paving the Chase

Capping their meal, after finishing the bottle of white wine, Graysen orders an espresso. Rosa excuses herself to go to the wash room. She pretends going to the wash room's direction but looks around trying to find Madam Desta and Brie. She calls Brie.

"Where are you?"

"Madam Desta has to run to a meeting and I have to meet Skin Au Lait for your endorsement deal. Madam says you can go back to your apartment to rest and she'll just send you your stuff. I'll call you later for update, alright?" Brie ends the call.

Rosa is about to go back to the restaurant when Graysen appears from her back.

"So, where do you want to go now?" Graysen inquires.

She replies taking her bag "You startled me. Don't you have work?"

"It's Saturday," he explains.

"Oh." Rosa suddenly feels self-conscious.

To take away the awkwardness, Graysen invites, "Care for a walk around,"

They go down at the lower level of the hotel and window shopping around the high-end boutiques. Graysen follows her striking some conversations from time to time. They reach a boutique displaying its latest collection of bags.

Graysen asks Rosa, "Do you like any of those?"

"I already have some of those bags. They sent it to me a couple of months ago," Rosa casually replies.

"Let's look around the other shop you might want to get something."

"I don't like much," Rosa dismisses.

Graysen looks perplexed. "What do you like? What are your favorites?"

Rosa smiles, "How about desserts?"

Graysen chuckles . "Let's go over there."

Rosa holds her box of French macaroons as Graysen parks in front of her villa apartment.

"Alright, miss sweety tooth, time to type your contact number." Graysen gives his phone to Rosa.

Rosa puts in her number and hands the phone back to Graysen. He dials Rosa's number to make sure.

"Now, you can also save my number." He watches while Rosa saves his number in her contacts.

Graysen goes down to open the car door for Rosa. Rosa thanks Graysen. She strides about to go inside her villa when she hears Graysen.

"Call me if you want to get more desserts." Graysen makes a phone call sign.

Rosa nods and smiles, watching Graysen gets on his car driving away with another 4x4 black car following him.

Monday comes. Rosa hears her doorbell rings. Holding her cup of coffee she walks to open the door.

"Great morning, Rosy," Brie greets.

"I know it's you. Why do you have to press the bell too much?" Rosa complains.

Brie steps aside showing a guy holding flowers.

"Are you Ms. Rosa Eder?" The guy passes a clipboard to sign. Brie takes the initiative to sign it and takes the bouquet right after.

"Have a good day Ma'am." The delivery guy bids his farewell.

"Hmmm, yellow and pink tulips. Where did it come from?" Brie pries. She takes the card and read it aloud.

'Have a great week ahead. – Graysen Andrei'

"So, you got the senator Andrei hooked on you?" Brie goads on Rosa.

Rosa walks back to her kitchen and pour a strong cup of brewed coffee for Brie to keep her fidgety.
