Her hand inadvertently began to slide down before she made touch with her dampness. There was a knock on her door. She sat down quickly on the bed, and the knock got louder. She said, "Adam, is that you?" "Yes, are you Okay?" he inquired. She stood up to open the door; he was in his shorts, resting against the wall. Water droplets were falling from his hair on his shoulder; he just showered. He pulled his hair back with his hands in an attempt to fix it, but that one stray strand kept returning to his eyes. That one lone drop landed on his lips, irritating him; he peeked his tongue out catching it. She was drawn to this facile action, which made everything else fade away. The moment that drop between his lips disappeared, she came back to her senses. "What?" stated Rose. "Are you not paying attention to what I'm saying?" Adam asked. He looked at Rose, who had disheveled hair and red cheeks. "We will talk in the morning; you better clean your hands by them," Adam winked at Rose as he turned to head for his room. Rose instantly flushed with embarrassment and shut the door to her bedroom. This is the second time he taunted her for the same thing. Her breathing became ragged, making her aware that her desire for him was openly placed on a plate for him to notice. She's going to seem really ridiculous facing him after this. Even though he didn't bring it up the first time, he might bring it up this time. Rose washed her face with cold water before retiring for the bed.
Rose woke up to the sound of the alarm clock. After taking a shower, she changed swiftly into a navy blue pant suit and scarlet heels. She had a sophisticated, gorgeous appearance. emanating vitality all around her. She couldn't determine what to talk about on the way up to the kitchen to avoid bringing up the incident from the night before, but there was nobody there and the table was set up with her breakfast. She was rather disappointed that Adam hadn't even left her a note. She ate her meal quickly, cleared the plates, and headed to the office. There was a man waiting for her in a black suit as soon as she pulled into the parking lot.
He gestured for her to go to the elevator as she cast a doubtful glance at him. Her first query was, "Who are you?" He answered like a robot, "Mr. Black, send me to accompany you, ma'am." She was perplexed but complied. He guided her directly to Adam's office after seeing her inside,He left. Rose sat down on the sofa near the high ceiling glass, viewing the hustle and bustle on the streets. She studied her surroundings intently, hoping to see something significant. She circled the round table in the middle of the space, which is next to Adam's chair. At the side, she saw two enormous drawers, one of which was locked. She spotted the identical lock closed in his walk-in closet. he moment Rose went to touch it, she was startled by the opening of the doors.
Liam, Adam's secretary, stood there looking suspiciously at Rose. "Mr. Black will see you in a minute. Would you mind coming and sitting on the sofa, ma'am?" Liam instructed. Rose's heart was beating erractically, as if she were caught in the act. And to prove his point, Liam stood there for over fifteen minutes, not leaving her alone in Adam's office.
Adam entered the room, followed by a large group of people. His eyes looked for her as soon as he walked in, and hers looked for him. She felt a knot in her stomach as she turned to face him. For them both, time stood still. The realization hit them hard after yesterday's incident as during his shower, he noticed a fire eagle engraved on the skin of his chest shining brightly. Adam was in denial from last night about the meaning of this, but this very moment she made sure of her presence; the outfit fit her body flawlessly, emphasizing her breasts, and her red lips were the most alluring of them all. While Rose stood there staring at Adam, overcome by all the emotions at once, he should have called her later, but now was crucial.
Was she falling for him? Was the first question that came to her mind? She collected herself and moved forward, greeting him good morning. Adam trance broke, and he schooled himself and nodded. He introduced her to his overseas client: "She is the assistant director, Ms. Rose; she will be looking after our merger." The man wearing a gray suit stepped forward and took her hand, kissing it at the back. Hello," I am Robert Coste, the founder of sensex enterprises. You are beautiful," he bluntly remarked. Rose smilingly answered, "Thank you, Mr. Coste." You have a good eye." After she said that, Robert laughed heartily. "You have a clever one here, Mr. Black; if ever he fires you, come join me, Miss Rose," he responded.
Rose led the way for everyone to the conference room so Sam could review the presentation. Rose arrived in the hall to find Sam fumbling with the arrangements. When she went to aid her, she noticed that Sam was trembling her hands and perspiring. "What happened? Are you alright? Rose enquired. "I think I left the file with detailed explanation at home; I took it with me to study to be prepared," Sam said, looking at Rose nervously. "The one where I provided feedback on each floor's plans?" Rose enquired. "Yes, that one," Sam exclaimed in response.
Rose questioned, "How come you don't remember you reviewed it before finalizing it?" Sam snapped back, "Are you making mockery of me? Leave me alone." Rose gave her a sly smile and sat down.
Once everyone took a seat, Sam gave her introduction and started the presentation. She continued to add points to the running slideshow by glancing at her laptop. She was uneasy, which made her lack confidence and cause her to overlook some of the inputs that Mr. Coste's company had mentioned. Sam finished and waited there for any question, but Mr. Coste immediately called her out for her incompetence. "Where are the adjustments I recommended? "Miss, this is not the whole report," he said, sounding dissatisfied. Sam was aware that she might be fired and that this was the last straw. "I gave the file to her to make the said changes, but she was too lazy to get it done," she said, pointing to Rose to save her ass.
She returned in a hurry. Rose stared at Mr. Coste while she sat there silently. "I apologize for the confusion; could you please give me a moment?" Rose requested. Mr. Coste nodded for her to proceed. Rose got up from her seat, making her way to the front, holding a blue file in her hand. She projected the whole scenario of studying the file for a minute, then looked up, smiling at everyone. She kept the file down.
Rose started presenting outlining the detailed plan in the manner the sensex enterprises have suggested, improvising and giving her input on the plan. Mr. Coste looked pleased with this advancement; after Rose finished with her presentation, Mr. Coste remarked, "Good work, Miss Rose; send me a email and a hard copy, including everything you just explained by evening." He walked out of the meeting hall. Adam looked at Rose with admiration in his eyes but controlled his emotions, smiling; he nodded and left.
When everyone left the hall, Sam grabbed the blue file, looking at its contents shocked. "What is this? It's not the file you just presented," she asked, bewildered. "I know I had read that file once I knew the contents, so I presented it," Rose said smirkly, walking towards the door. "You think you can just humiliate me," Sam furiosly said, charging towards her. Rose dodged, resulting in Sam falling face first on the ground; she got up the very next moment but found herself alone. There was no trace of Rose.Sam stood up, gathered her thoughts, and made her way to her office. She was still in shock at what had transpired. Rose has evolved overnight from being a submissive and quiet girl to suddenly acting shrewd and intimidating. Later, she intended to confront her.The timid and submissive girl has evolved overnight, and Rose is suddenly behaving all smart and bullying. She considered confronting her afterwards. Sam didn't know Rose's history; she was destined to govern, therefore she naturally had leadership and power. Though she has always been this way, she has only become more mellow over time to fit in with the public; in the past, her strict demeanor caused her unnecessary problems. Adam was greeting Mr. Coste, who was pleased with the work made, at the main building's entrance. This was his fourth endeavor that ultimately resulted in the blueprints he desired. As Adam turned to head back after him, he noticed Rose exiting the elevator.
He walked up to her, asking, "Where are you going?". "I am going to grab a coffee just two streets away; you want some?" she asked Adam. "No need; I will get Liam to get it for you," he suggested right away. Before Rose could refuse, Adam was already on call with Liam instructing him, which surprised Rose about the type of coffee she likes, which was on point. After he finished, he looked at her with a small smile. "Why is this merger so important to you?" Rose asked right away because he seemed so invested in this to go through."The location is more important than the merger since we superbeings are not allowed in some locations managed by other clans. As the Belmont dynasty inherits the land where long-lost kingdom of Devana is buried, and I am forbidden from entering his territory and he from entering mine", Adam explained. Rose looked at Adam with suspicion in her eyes, as what he wants from the doomed Kingdom.
