"So are you gonna go for dinner? Or you can just drive me home since you've said all you wanted to say in the car."
Rose immediately interrupted the sweet atmosphere that was likely to take over and it was equal to pouring a bucket of cold water right on Rowan and the man immediately sat up straight and started the car, a lingering sigh coming out of his mouth finally.
It was akin to be slapped on the face, but at least he was able to put forth his feelings. And looking at her, she just kept quiet and looked outside. He couldn't help but feel that maybe the silence was better.
He knew how poisonous her mouth could be and at the moment he was not trying to be on her wrong side…again.
"Rose…."
"Hmm…."
"I am sorry."
"Okay."
"Just okay? You're not gonna say anything more?"
"No."
"And what if I still begged you?"
"I wouldn't want the mighty president Lee to be reduced to a begger."
