“The guts you have to dare go against me! You have been too comfortable in the position that was given to you, is that why you feel you can tell me what and what to not do!" Cobra spoke. His entire facial expression and demeanor completely swapped from what he had when Rose was in the office. He glared at where Ax was kneeling down with a murderous expression, it was like he could kill Ax in an instant. He slowly walked to him again and crouched down in front of Ax before wrapping his hand around his neck making him raise his head to look at him. Now, the tackless and rash Ax was replaced with a scared and frightened Ax. " I……I apologize for dis…. disrespecting you, Boss. I was just……saying what could harm us in the future…..” Ax apologized and tried to explain himself. " How competent you are! Did you think I and your two other seniors are too dumb to realize it if there is a danger?” The grip around Ax's neck tightened, almost choking him to death. Ax gasped for air because of t
“Um….. I have already paid off the money you owe those people so you can rest assured that they wouldn't disturb you or your business from now on.” She snapped out her little thought and informed Maya. Maya's eyes widened in surprise when she heard Rose. Originally, when Luthor and Amelia came to announce their presence, she hadn't been patient enough to listen to any explanation and rushed outside to come and see Rose. She turned to look at Luthor and Amelia. "You wouldn't listen when I tried to tell you.” Luthor also added. "R-rose, how…... .how can I repay you for this great assistance you've rendered to us. We just met you for the first time and you're already helping us like this. Thank you, thank you so much." Maya eyes filled with tears she bowed at Rose who frowned at the gesture and quickly lifted Maya's body up. “You don't have to do that. Besides, I have known your son for a couple of days now and he turned out to be a very good and trustworthy youngman. There is only o
“What are you talking about? I will definitely work harder to pay you back the money……” " Stop being stubborn, because you know I'm right. Besides, there is no harm in receiving help from someone powerful once in a while.” Rose suddenly cut him off. Her words suddenly killed Luthor's determination. She was right, he knew he can't pay her all of the money but he wanted to try. However, it seems like even a little girl he had met for only a few days also knew how pathetic he was. Rose raised her head up from the window and glanced at Luthor's expression through the rearview mirror. " But if you so badly want to pay me back I know of a way you can.” She slowly added with the corner of her lips raised. Luthor's expression suddenly brightened when he heard her and quickly turned to look at her. There was a way! " What……" “Please focus on the road!" Before he could finish his sentence, Rose yelled at him to face the road back when she saw how he turned to look at her. Even if she was
He knew Rose wasn't an evil person judging by the days he spent with her. It's just that she seems to be out on a dangerous mission and was ready to use anyone and anything to accomplish that mission. She might look young but he knew she was hiding a secret from everyone but that wasn't his concern as long as she didn't harm him and his family he would continue to see her as a mature young girl. In fact he has been viewing her as a younger sister in his mind, but he was curious about one thing. Why? Why was she helping his family? “Now, now, what is your decision?” Rose suddenly asked. “I will take up your offer to be your personal…..driver. However, I have a question to ask before I fully agree to it.” Luthor finally replied. He needed to satisfy his curiosity and be sure of what he was getting into with Rose. Rose raised a brow when she heard him. What did he want to know? “Alright, I'm listening.” She replied with a nod of her head, wondering what Luthor has to say to her. “Wh
“My question is what do you see in me and my family to keep helping us? I obviously have nothing that someone like you would want, so you must have seen something in either me or my family that you can benefit from. What is your real purpose and mission?” Luthor stated the obvious and asked so that she wouldn’t use something else as an excuse. “Like you said yourself, I don’t render help for free. And you’re about to guess the kind of person that I am, but there is a slight mistake you are making. I’m a business woman and I invest in things that would earn me more money and power in the future. In your case, it might seem like I’m the only one going to benefit from this but you and your family are going to be enjoying the bigger part of it. The benefit I'm earning from helping your family isn’t money.” Rose replied back to him. “Are you investing in my family?” Luthor connected the dots of what she really meant and asked. This just made him even more scared to mess with Rose if his
“We didn’t have proper evidence and strong backing.” Luthor replied.“Hmmm….. That could be a side reason. The real reason was money and power. You don’t fucking need an evidence to destroy someone’s life. First of all, your family has no money to get a proper lawyer for the case, you guys have no money to fund the case, those were your flaws. The company in charge of the contract was a big corporation, even if they knew that your father was being framed after listening to the evidence you provided. They surely wouldn’t want to lose face and have to apologize to a small construction company because of the mistake of their general manager. The judge in charge of the case has also been settled properly so no matter what evidence you have to prove your father’s innocence was completely useless.” Rose explained to Luthor as if she was present when the whole incident happened. Luthor just stared at her in awe and admiration. She was a real genius than he actually thought. “But the company
She didn't realize that when she was talking earlier, her expression had really darkened into a murderous one. Luthor could sense pure hatred and killing intent when she talked about serving justice to the people who harmed her. It seems clear to him now that she was out of payback or something. “I'm confident and sure of you and your family that you guys won't let my investment go to waste so let's just go along with that answer and don't question me any further.” Rose remarked, waving her hand casually signaling him to not ask any more questions. “The more time you spend with me, the more you would know about Roseline Gray." She added. Luthor paused his lips in order to shut up because he had already gotten enough answers to most of his questions even though he still had more to ask. “Fine, I would agree to be your personal driver until I pay back the money you paid for my mom's debt. I would have to think carefully about what you just told me about helping my family." He said.
Earlier when they left Cobra's place, Rose had told both she and Luthor in the car when they were heading back to the shop to keep her from buying the entire Azure Prime Property Managements and her becoming the new chairwoman a secret. She even told them to not tell Maya and if Maya asked them how they sorted the matter, they should tell their mother that Rose was just able to pay back the money which Maya would believe because she was aware of Rose's background. Rose knew that Maya's attitude toward her would change, she had barely gotten Maya to address her casually and it could change if she knew Rose was the new chairwoman of Azure Prime Property Managments. Amelia was not slow witted to not figure out that Rose has an hidden agenda apart from her family background. No matter how Influential Gray family might be, they don't possess that kind of connection to do what Rose did. “It has nothing to do with you guys' age and her family status has nothing to do with what I'm saying
