The use of 'Dear' caught Rose like a merry-go-round. She loved the sound of it. She almost blushes but his next word caught her by surprise and her blush had to turn to a frown.
"So if they are policemen, you will not help me?" the way he said it annoyed her. He had his hands folded on his chest as if he was some sort of superior. His question looked like an accusation and it was unnecessary. She had thought they were policemen and had helped him.
"Mr. Man…"
"My name is Asher, dear," he corrected.
"Well, I can only classify you as an ingrate…by your question, you have shown that you don't deserve to be helped," she said as she walked away. She knew that staying back will only make her more annoyed with this man who she fell for as well as annoyed with easily.
She was the kind of lady who never got provoked. But right now, she is being provoked over matters that can slide away.
