Rose's pov
And rest of the meeting went very well, we stood up from our seats to leave we handshakes with each other last time, "Rose?" I hear my name, I turned my head and saw Adam approached me " Yes?" I ask and he smiled. "To be frank I didn't think you more than a learner but today you talked like a boss, I was never impressed by anyone before you" His compliment hitting my heart, to be honest, I thought him a rude boss when dad told me that it's taken him lots of time to set up a meeting with adam he is more than what he is. " Thanks" I replied, he leans down a bit and kissed my knuckles in front of everyone when he looked into my blushing face, he chuckled "I hate to say but Until next time" he slowly whispers and suddenly goosebumps raised on my skin he made his way out of the door.
I stood there shocked what just happened? Why my heart is beating up so fast?
"By the way, there's something I want you to do Rose come to my office," Dad said and I silently followed him. " Stay away from Adam," Xavier says in my ears, not in low voice more likely he is telling this to my dad. I heard dad sighed heavily.
As we entered his office, he removes some documents from the locker that was inside of his desk, he handed me those documents to read, it's a contract of our deal that we made yesterday I moved my gaze back to dad who was waiting for me to finish my reading. " What's this, dad?" I asked confused. "I am sure you have read the whole paper sweetie" dad reply, I sighed irritated. " Yeah dad, I did but is this seriously necessary can't we make this deal personal?" I asked and he shook his head.
"This contract is happening between us so it will always go to stay personal but if you still have any problems then taking this as a part of your learning program that I have set up only for you in future you have to sign up biggest deals so this is nothing in front of them" My dad professional attitude irritates me sometimes but the way he explains he shuts my mouth he gives me no reason to argue.
Dad throws a pen in my direction, I caught, t and after reading one more time I signed up.
"Some time is still left do you want to attend the rest of the lectures in college?"Dad asked and I nodded, studying is the best way of distracting myself from the feeling I got from adam, I know it's nothing more than a business meeting for Adam and me but still.....
After signing up the papers, Dad, Xavier and I sat in the car time dad's car which is somehow most comfortable than Xavier's car, he is personally dropping me at the college that is no new for me he did it many times before but after his divorce its first time.
I removed my college book from the bag and started to read it even If I missed my couple of lectures I don't want to fail those lectures that I attended. After what happened in the college this morning I didn't have enough courage to face john and his jerk friends again, knowing very well that he isn't going to stop, at first, I slapped him and then Xavier's punches and kicks that he received but everyone knows it was all his fault.
But he is going to put all the blame on my head.
My college came and I get myself out of the car, saying bye to dad. Xavier told me he will walk me towards my classroom and seriously I wanted someone like him to accompany me there even if john is there he can't do anything to me.
Before entering the classroom I took a long breath " do you want me to pick you up after the class?" Xavier asked and I nodded in relief, I can't walk back home all alone " Don't worry I won't let him do anything to you, not even anyone, not even me, so relaxed and focus on studies" his voice was relaxing, his voice became serious in the middle when he said 'not even me' he kisses my forehead before walking back to his car. Again I feel blushed in an hour.
I entered the classroom and sat on the empty desk that was in the last corner of the room, Rita is seated at the front desk so after the class, I will able to take notes from her. I watched the time on the clock which was hanging on the wall I just missed my two lectures but in the future who knows how many of them I am going to miss.
One after one I attended the rest of the classes, I already got enough homework that will take my whole day to complete even the notes I took from Rita I have to finish that as well, I never thought the first day will be that stressful and then one class came I don't want to attend p.t means ' training' I was never good at this even I complained mom about this but as a doctor, she advised my exercise is good for health, etc, etc.
And she is right, I stepped inside of changing room where some random girls were murmuring about john, I ignored them and changed my clothes into a tracksuit and walked inside towards of training room where most of them were boys who were practicing, they stopped their practice when they saw me " You must be the new girl everyone is talking about" A man who was instructing the boys said to me, I raise my brows in confusion what he is talking about? " I mean your man beat up john and his friends I heard, you did a good job he was being a dick to everyone so someone should be there to punish him" he specifies but my face heated up when he said 'your man', so many things happened after I am gone with Xavier to dad's office. I haven't replied to his comment I just told him to show me what exercise I have to do and he did.
An hour later my training finally overs, I just run from there without wasting my time towards the changing room, I opened the tap and flashed some water on the face.
