Rosa comes back at the Andrei's villa handing her car keys to the security standing by the entrance. She goes straight to the bedroom not intending to talk to anybody. She enters into a dark bedroom. Finding it empty, she puffs out a breath of relief. She does not want to see Graysen's face. Happy to be alone, she hops to the bathroom. She relishes her time cleansing, toning, and moisturizing, putting a final touch of rosehip oil on her face. She is already fast asleep when Graysen arrives at midnight.
"Buon giorno dolce mia, I made you strawberry sans rival." Graysen greets while pushing their bedroom door open with a breakfast tray at hand. He puts down the tray on her lap and tried to hug her but she dodges it.
He cautiously speaks, "Nana Rosa said you went out yesterday with Brie. Next time you can tell me if you want to get out so somebody can escort you."
"I don't need it. Am not a muse," Rosa monotonously replies.
"I mean you need to bring body guards with you. You are now my wife," he reasons.
"You said it, I am you wife. I am not a detainee. I want my freedom to roam around."
He reminds her in a humble tone, "You still can. But for your safety you need somebody to follow and protect you."
Rosa responds, "Just go back to your work. Don't mind me."
Graysen blows out air from his mouth. He dejectedly steps out of the bedroom.
He goes out of the mansion walking some hundred meters and turns to the back door of his personal office. The Andrei's built an extended office with a gazebo in front of the villa for Ronia's visiting constituents. He is officially still on vacation so there's no fuss of visitors around. He looks for something to do to deviate his mind. He carries on working the whole day.
He goes back to the main house to have dinner with Rosa but he finds her nowhere. The security reports to him that she went out driving her own car.
He calls her. He hears a dropped signal. He cannot even track her whereabouts.
Rosa comes back late at night refreshed and in high spirits. She struts a little tipsy from the wine she shared with Brie and Desta during dinner. She sees a bulk in the bed. She puts down her phone at the side table and goes to the walk-in closet.
Brie and Madam Desta brought her to a spa salon. They come up with the idea of giving Rosa some beauty pampering to cheer her up. The three of them indulged in organic hair treatment, gold facial treatment and Mediterranean body wrap.
When Graysen wakes up in the morning, he notices a blurry figure moving to and fro. When he fully opens his eyes he sees Rosa fully made up holding her designer tote bag going out of the bedroom. He quickly reaches for his coat to follow her. He finds her at the breakfast nook. He sits in front of her. She keeps on eating, her eyes focus on the plate. She never threw him a look. He tries talking to her but Rosa gives him a cold shoulder and walks out. He hears the engine of a car revving up. He steps outside the mansion. His eyes affix at the back of Rosa's magenta mini cooper car speeding away.
He underestimated Rosa's kind-heartedness. He thought she can understand his decisions and simply let things slide. Now he is walking on a tight rope. He has to rack his mind in cajoling her. How to woo Rosa again? If he can only do what normal citizen's do like crowd sourcing.
