Rosa lets her new buddies bask in the morning sun at the backyard garden. The four dogs energetically run around almost tripping the specially built cart of Modena for her dragon fruit plant collections.
Rosa chills out sitting on the grass. Wizo lands its butt beside her and puts its head on her lap. She caresses the spaniel's head while her mind keeps drifting as far as her eyesight can reach.
Rosa's rage boils inside her heart. She feels abandoned and irritated. She wants to devise a plan to get back on Graysen's neglect of her.
Looming over her resentment with Graysen, her mobile phone rings.
Brie's high pitched voice blast from the receiver, "Rosa mia! Good news!"
Rosa contradicts her, "I don't think it is when you're the one calling me."
Brie banters, "You're getting better and better at throwing jokes these days. Do you want me to get you a stand-up comedy gig?" Brie pauses at the other end of the line and sighs, "If you don't like to hear it, then I'm going to hang up."
"What do you want?" Rosa hisses.
"You have a new endorsement. A well-known Italian shoe brand just offered me a deal for you. They are branching to bag designs. So they are getting you to model their sets of shoes and bag spring collections."
Rosa replies flatly, "Ok."
Brie keeps on blabbering, "And you can choose 3 sets for free, while I can also get a set. Don't you think it's a good deal?"
"Ok," Rosa dryly answers then she hangs up.
After muddling her thoughts with what Brie told her about her new endorsement, Madam Desta's call comes in.
Madam Desta says she enlists her to catwalk for the Paris fashion week. She hesitated at first thinking that she has to discuss it first with Graysen. But on the other hand let him be surprised once he sees her face in print and television gracing the public again.
She decided that it is time to go back to work. Just in time, to quell her irritation over Graysen's constant absence physically and most of the time even mentally when he is with her.
During the Liberal Party meeting, a colleague who was present in Graysen and Rosa's wedding shows him a video from his phone. When Senator Graysen sees Rosa's new advertisement, he just moves his eyebrows a bit and nods then returns to his poker face.
He turns his attention once again to the meeting. Mihai notes the important agendas and nomination while sitting at the back of the senator.
Rosa wiggles her legs on the bed when Graysen enters. She gives him a wide smile. She waits for him to say something. But he just goes straight to the bathroom to shower.
Rosa speaks when Graysen lifts the duvet, "Have you seen my latest ad?"
Graysen nods and lie down. He positions his arm on top of his head.
Rosa continue asking, "What do you think?"
He responds, "Whatever that makes you happy go do it." Then, Graysen closes his eyes and sleep.
