"Young Miss"
"Sorry we are late, something came up"
"It's ok, Young Miss"
Damien moved forward and opened the door for Rose. He then went to pass through the other door.
"To a famous steak restaurant" Rose said.
"Yes, Young Miss." The Driver said as he put the partition up. His Miss finally has a guy that she likes, he wouldn't want to intrude on his Miss privacy.
As the car zoomed off, someone emerged behind a piller and took a picture of the plate number of the car. He then brought out a system from the bag on his back. His small hands moved speedily across the keyboard, as he typed away.
***********
Rose had Damien go ahead into the restaurant and order for both of them, because she was on a call. It was her Dad, and with the way her Dad is... she fears if he hears Damien's voice with her, she'll never hear the last of it.
Damien suspected it had something to do with him.
'Is she embrassed of me?'
Damien thought as he walked away from the car.
"Dad, I'll say it again, I'm really fine. Why don't you believe me?"
"You haven't even thought to call either me or your mother and you expect me to believe you?!"
"I was busy dad. I totally forgot"
"Oh busy huh? I never knew my daughter had a job. It must be because of that guy that you don't wanna come home again huh?"
"Dad, what are you talking about?"
"Don't think I don't know that's it's a guy. Regardless of how your brother tried to hide the truth. I'm no fool, you won't act this way if it was girl that was injured."
Rose rubbed her forehead, she had known this wouldn't be an easy call.
"Dad, I'll come home this night ok? He's been discharged. But we still have to punish the culprit."
"Of course, that is a must. I wanted to help but can you imagine That Robert boy insisted on doing it his way" Bob said as he humphed at the end of his statement.
Rose laughed, her Father is a really interesting character.
"Dad, Robert just doesn't want you to be stressed with all those troubles"
"What trouble? I'm avenging my daughter, that's no trouble"
This statement brought little tears in Rose's eyes as she said, "Thanks dad"
"No need for thanks, my little pumpkin. Take care of yourself, I'll tell the cook to prepare your favorite tonight."
"Ok dad."
It was then Rose remember that Damien must have been waiting for her, she immediately wanted to end the call.
"Bye, Dad"
"Ok, and bring that guy along when you are ready"
"Ok Dad, bye Dad" Rose tapped her fingers against the car's window, as she cut the call.
"Bring him soon, so you can finish him... fat chance." Rose said to herself as she came out from the car and walked briskly to the restaurant.
**********
When Damien was about to enter the high class steak restaurant, he was stopped at the door by an attendant.
Isabella has been having a bad day. She has a lot of customers who ask her to accompany then, whenever they come to the restaurant. Of course, Bella enjoyed the attention. But today, she was told to accompany a new customer.
This customer was all dressed up nicely, with a six piece suit, a good watch and expensive hermes shoe.
With his appearance, Bella could tell that she had hit the jackpot, her tip was going to be high today.
But afterwards, after she had satisfied the "rich" customer, $10!!! She found out he wasn't so rich at all... she could not bare to dissatisfy him because if this went out, she might not be able to keep her job again. She came out to calm her anger, that's when she saw another "poor" customer.
"Excuse me, you are not allowed in here" Bella said to Damien.
"Why?"
Bella saw the way she replied to her, she didn't care about handsome he was, but about how he was dressed, 'Who cares about how handsome you are, as long as you don't have something to support it... it's all for nought' She thought.
"Of course it's because you can't afford it. Have you seen you in the mirror? What make you think you can just waltz in here?"
Damien just kept mum and didn't reply her any longer. Bella saw this and it further proofed her assumptions.
"Humph" She humphed proudly, before continuing, "You can go to that other restaurant"
Damien looked at the restaurant she was pointing to and he saw a run down restaurant, even the signboard was already in tatters.
"It's more befitting if your status... ha" Bella was clearly enjoying this. She took this her means to vent all her inner anger. Damien took a breath in and reminding himself that Rose wants to eat steak, so he said one more time,
"Reservation"
Bella of course would not interpret this as he's already made a reservation, she said, "If course you'll need a reservation to eat here. Not any Tom, Dick or Harry could dine in here?"
"Oh... so would you mind telling me who's then is worthy of dining in your high-class restaurant?"
'Rose'
It was unknown when Rose got there.
Damien immediately turned to face her as he walked towards her, he thought, 'Since when has she been standing there?' He looked at her again and thought, 'She's mad'
"Rose?" he called out.
'How dare this non-entity talk about my man like that?! Calling him a random person, humiliating him, hurting his pride and ego... If I don't teach her a lesson today...'
Bella watched all this and scoffed,
"Tisk... So you even found yourself a sugar momma." Bella said not paying any attention to Rose. She was about entering into the hospital again when Rose spoke up.
"Call out your manager for me this instant!" Rose hollered at Bella. Bella in response, laughed and turned back to say, "And who the h*ll do you think you are, ordering me around? You think you are qualified to meet our Manager humph... fat chance"
The noise attracted the attention of another attendant.
"What's going on out here?"
"Oh it's you Bella, why are you not allowing this customer in?"
This lady attendant happened to be Bella's competition for the promotion they were both recommended for, she was Maureen.
Maureen observed both Rose and Damien, her eyes lit up when she saw Rose's outfit. It was the latest season. This was my opportunity to finally rise.
"It's none of your business, Maureen." Bella answered.
Maureen was delighted at her response, she ignored Bella and moved towards Rose, before she asked politely.
"Dear customer, what's going on?"
"Customer? I don't dare." Rose as she humphed angrily Damien held her hands to calm her down. He's been accused and talked down on before. This is the first time someone has stood up for him. He looked at Rose who was annoyed, 'She was annoyed for his sake' with this, he smiled.
Both Bella and Maureen immediately became love-struck at the sight of his face.
Rose noticed how they looked and finally looked at the man that was smiling beside her. She frowned immediately.
'How dare he smile after he was been looked down upon?'
She immediately used her hands to cover his mouth.
"I thought I told you not to smile when we are in public?"
Damien's lips immediately became flat.
The two ladies immediately sighed when he did, Bella came to her senses almost immediately, 'How could I think that miser was handsome?'
Rose continued talking,
"And why are you so happy? Don't you know how to stand up for yourself?"
Damien didn't say a word anymore as he bowed his head to hide the smile that was threatening to bloom on his face again.
But unfortunately, Rose took this as him reflecting on himself, so she immediately turned to the two ladies.
"Lead me to your manager this instant!" Rose said.
"As if"
"Right this way, ma'am"
Both Bella and Maureen said almost immediately, as they also looked at themselves afterwards.
'This fool, she still hasn't realize med what was going on. Well, let her keep been foolish, till her doom... haha... it's been so long that she as always used to oppress us all but now...' Maureen thought within herself enjoying all that was going on.
"This way, Sir, My lady"
Rose nodded, clearly pleased by how the attendant gave due respect to Damien first.
She tightened her hold on Damien and walked in to the restaurant.
Of course, Maureen and Bella followed right after.
In the Manager's Office,
*Knock knock*
"Yes" A deep male voice sounded. The door of the office opened and they all entered.
Almost immediately, Damien drew out a chair for Rose as she sat down comfortably. Only he knows how hungry Rose was, not only did that female man delay them, now this... He wouldn't allow his babe to stand through all this. Of course since Rose has also told him to be more considerate to himself, he gladly took a seat too.
Mr. Josh looked at the two that just entered into his office, as he observed them he found that the girl looked quite familiar, but he's never seen the guy before but he had a kind of silent aura if oppression oozing from him.
