"I never knew such an elite school would carry such bullies..Oh, I'm so disappointed!"
Rose's sweet but icy voice immediately echoed in the ears of the boys who had planned to scold her for interrupting their activities, but instead hot blushes rushed up their cheeks as they tried to compose themselves and look presentable.
Instead of saying a thing, the boy's immediately picked each other up as they rushed out of the restaurant. Rose lightly chuckled as she turned to look at the other boy.
The moment the boy's eyes came into contact with Rose's eyes ,he couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, and his eyes felt a little bit teary.
Rose, on the other hand, slowly observed the young man and she couldn't help but frown. She felt something similar in the man. She felt something similar in this young boy that she couldn't just point out exactly what it was.
She had rebranded herself back to her cold nature but this young boy… She couldn't help but frown once again as she felt her protective instincts immediately shoot up at an alarming speed.
First It was Diana, and now it was this young, unknown boy. She looked at him, his rough hair, his dirty uniform, the eye bags under his eyes and couldn't help but feel pity but she tried not to show the pity on her face, because she felt like the young man before her was just like her.
She hated being pitied. She hated being looked at with eyes full of soreness. She despised it.
"Thank you so much, I appreciate and sorry to disturb you."
The young boy softly raised his voice as he looked up to Rose, Only for her to give him one warm smile before she nodded her head.
"You're welcome. And please do not let them bully you. Stand up for yourself. You are a man. Show them who you are. Do not let them bully you."
The boy brightly smiled at her and as if she was busy contemplating, Rose thought for a second before she lifted her hand and slightly ruffled the guy's head. The boy closed his eyes as if he was experiencing love for the first time, as Rose snapped out of whatever she was in and couldn't help but frown inwardly but trying to keep calm and composed on the outside.
She looked back at Diana and looked at the counter, and just by her eyes, the girl already understood what she was telling her. She was telling her to go pay the bill for the young man and almost immediately, Diana settled everything.
Rose picked up her pace as she walked out of the restaurant, not wanting to look back at the boy because she felt like this young man was stirring something in her heart but she did not know what exactly it was and no, it is not anything romantic, nothing romantic involved. She just felt so protective over him all of a sudden.
Diana, on the other hand, was busy trying to understand what was happening to her president because they were about to leave after their meeting their appointment with Mr. K but all of a sudden Her president showed interest in a young man, and from what she knows, after working with her for just a day, she can already tell that Rose is someone who is cold but for the right people, her heart will melt.
She turned to the boy and gave him an awkward thumbs up before rushing after her boss.
Rose, on the other hand, was busy contemplating a lot of things when her phone rang. She picked it up, only to realize that Cora was the one calling her.
"Hey, girl. Why don't we go out for eer..Just a meal? I don't know. I miss you!"
"Cora. Really now girl? The last time we saw each other was, I don't know, two days ago?"
"Exactly! Two days, Girl! I'm used to seeing you everyday. Don't you get it, Rose?"
Rose sighed as she rolled her eyes dramatically, and as Diana quietly watched the interaction between Rose and her best friend, her lips couldn't help but curl up in a sad smile. She also wished to have a best friend. She wished to have someone who she could casually chat with, casually sing along with, casually make jokes. She wished she had someone who would be so eager to see and meet her. But it's OK. At the right time, she was going to find her best friend.
Being keen, Rose had already noticed the reaction from Diana and couldn't help but contemplate on whether to invite her or not. But because this was the day she planned to talk to Cora about Diana, she chose not to and instead have to find another day for the two of them to meet up and slowly make Diana feel the love. that she is supposed to feel.
Rose quickly got into her house before taking a quick shower and changing into a beautiful white turtle neck, accompanied by a tight brown thigh high slit marbly skirt. She then let her hair flow freely before putting on white thigh boots and hanging her brown trench coat on her shoulders since the night already seemed cold.
She rechecked her accessories before heading out just on time as Cora's call came in.
"Hello uncle Mark!" Rose greeted the Aldrich driver with a bright smile making the old man's heart feel at ease because he has always treated the young girl as his own daughter.
The two girls greeted each other As Rose took her seat. They decided to head to one of the best hotel under Lee conglomerate.
The Aldrich driver had raised the partition as the two girls started talking because he did not want to pick up anything he was not supposed to because he knew the two girls very well.
