"Arrogant?" Rose asked puzzled. She could understand what he meant.
"Yes."
"Did he say anything to offend you?"
"Not really but I could easily tell that he is a smart guy."
"He is a genius but he uses really ruthless methods," Rose voiced her observation in a low thoughtful voice.
"Ruthless?" Eric asked with his brow furrowed.
"Nevermind. I will only advice you not to get on his bad side although I doubt if he will hurt you even if you do."
"He doesn't dare. He said my mother saved his life."
"Yes and from the party, I think he likes you. He tends to stick to those he likes.
"That's what he did to me while I was in the hospital. He was also a good companion," Rose commented sincerely.
She had a soft heart but due to her situation, she didn't have the luxury to like people but Carl was surprisingly very likable.
