He chuckled softly, and then moved closer to her and kissed her on her lips, this time it was stronger than before. He pushed her back slightly causing her to lean on the desk. With his hand on her face, caressing her hair as little strings feel on her face. Rose was almost enchanted by his moves, and attracted by his flawless masculinity. But as he progressed,she bent her head slightly away from his face. "No Sebastian, not like this" she said now removing herself from his grip, but he held her almost tightly, causing a light scare that almoy made Rose panick.

Samuel hesitated briefly, unsure of how much information to share. Jim was dismissed today, ma'am," he said after a little pause. You didn't cause it in any way. Mr. Wayne thought it was time for a change because of certain problems with his performance".Rose's surprised eyes widened. Such an unexpected turn of events had surprised her. In an effort to make sense of the circumstance, her thoughts raced. She couldn't help but wonder whether Sebastian was in any way involved. Maybe the small interaction she had with Jim had made him feel envious, or uncomfortable, or maybe he didn't want me speaking casually with workers. Her mind raced through what Sebastian really wanted,at that moment she felt vulnerable to his choices, there wasn't anything she could do to change any of them. The mood inside the car was a bit tight as Samuel drove Rose home. Rose couldn't get rid of the suspicion that Samuel knew more about Jim's abrupt termination than he was letting on. Only the gentle hum of t

"There she is" Sebastian's voice echoed through the crowd of people in the room. All eyes were still on Rose, staring intensely In an identical manner. She struggled to force a smile from the corners of her lips as she now took steady and precautions steps towards him who was already holding out his hands, smiling strangely, she hadn't seen him smile before.As she glided slowly through the room, she could notice the familiar stare from the people inside. It was like the one she got at the office, but this was more intense. Some looked at her with full contempt, frowning and almost biting their own lips.

Rose was closely seated with Sebastian in one of the VIP tables. Sounds from the mic and from the band playing the soft music filled the air, the festivities of the night continued but the thoughts from Rose's mind were louder than the sounds that came from the room and the sounds particularly in front of her.She had been shouted at and dragged by her father, severally. But only when he was under the influence of vodka, which was almost Every Time.She remembered the week that he died, how he had a fight with her mother, about money, the loan he had taken from a finance company, which he squandered.

"I'll manage"Samuel Looked at her as she opened the door and struggled to get out, the tightness of her dress Revealing her curves and some unwanted body parts.

Emily was now being moved to tears as she listened intently to Rose's honest confession, she tried to put herself together and didn't want Rose to see her tearing up also. She didn't expect Rose's reaction, a clear one that she was confused and didn't know what to do. She expected for them to have a brief time to wind back the years, but even though it was reaching out to her for help and companionship, she would be there to help no matter what.
