Rose left the meeting room angry, Vivian had promised to have lunch with her but she had not shown up at work the whole day.
Ruth and the others avoided her since they all knew how she was when angry. Arthur saw his wife walk in with a frown on her face.
"Still angry?" he asked.
"What do you think " she blurted out.
Arthur got up from his seat and walked to her.
"Have you tried Harry's phone? She might be with him " Arthur passed her a glass of water
Rose grabbed her phone ignoring the water Arthur offered. Dialing Harry's number Rise waited impatiently for him to pick up.
"Hello " Harry's voice was heard.
"What did you do to my sister?" Rose yelled through the phone.
Confused Harry asked what she meant.
"She is not answering her calls and missed our lunch date "
Harry chuckled as he turned to look at Vivian who was making something in the kitchen. They both had decided to not report to work and stay home.
They had been cuddling and kissing all day after they woke up.
Vivian had seemed to forget about her date with Rose while he forgot about his presentation. After receiving a call from his office, Harry decided to do it on his laptop giving Vivian a chance to go to the kitchen and make something to eat.
But then Rose called yelling at him with anger. He got up walking to where Vivian was handing her the phone.
"It's Rose " he whispered.
Vivian took the phone, " Hello, Sister " she said in a sweet voice.
"Don't you dare call me that, you forgot all about me after being with Harry " she complained?
"I will make it up to you " Vivian promised.
"Just make sure you both don't appear in front of me for the rest of the week, " Rose said before hanging up.
Arthur watched her take the glass he had offered before from the table and drinking all the water.
"Let's go have some ice cream," he said.
Rose turned meeting his green serious eyes.
"You mean it," she asked.
Arthur nodded getting up as he held her hand.
"I love you " she smiled. All the anger she had a minute ago had melted on the sound of ice cream. And Arthur who had always refused her from having it was offering it this time.
Arthur laughed kissing her lips, " I love you too, butterfly " he said. They left the office leaving all the other meetings for Sean to handle.
"That bastard " Sean had cursed when he found out that Arthur had left early dropping everything for him.
Rose who had two servings of ice cream was smiling at Arthur who had watched her have them without stopping.
"Feeling better?" he asked.
"Am happy " she smiled.
Rose begged him to take a walk with her back home.
"Won't the journey be long for your body?" Arthur looked worried.
Rose shocked her head, " No am fine "
They moved slowly along the road pavements heading home. Rose held Arthur's left hand as she smiled childishly.
"I like this very much," She told him.
"I like it too " Arthur replied.
He wanted to tell her how he had found out something about her father, but her smile had changed his mind. Her father was planning something even after being defeated by them. He had grown tired of seeing Rose being hurt by him so he decided to handle it on his own.
But he had promised not to keep secrets from her anymore. He looked down at her hand holding his hand sighed.
Rose stopped and turned to him, " "What's wrong, love?" she asked.
Arthur met her eyes, " I have information about Richard " he said.
He felt her hand holding his tighten as she told him to tell him more.
"First I have to tell you something," he said, Rose noticed his face get serious.
