“Haha, I like you’re very honest. Anyways, I heard that you are around so I came to say hi to you. Aren’t I a good house host?” Leo replied, making Rose roll her eyes at him. She was only to spend the weekend here but she had to keep up with this guy. “Thank you. And you are indeed a good house host but Aunty is very much better than you.” Rose said with a bored expression on her face. “Now that you have greeted me, I will close the door.” She added and without waiting for Leo's response she closed the door and went back to lay on the bed. Leo chuckled at the closed door and was about to walk away when he heard a voice from behind him. “Leo, what are you doing here?” Leo froze when he heard the familiar serious voice of his older brother behind him. He turned around and smiled at Nicholas who had a frown on his face with a file in his hand. “Brother, what are you doing here?” Leo asked. “I asked you a question first. Don’t ask question with question, Leo Anderson.” Nicholas r
After dinner, Rose returned to her room but remembering she had something to say to Julian, she stepped out of her room and luckily she saw a maid walking by so she asked her to take her to Julian study room. Julian was busy working on some unfinished paperwork in his office when there was a knock on his door. “Come in." He gave his permission thinking that it was one of his sons. The door pushed open and Rose slowly walked into the office and closed the door behind her. “What can I do for you, Nicholas?" Julian asked, his head buried in the file he was going through. “Uncle Julian?" She called, making Julian raise his head up when he heard a different voice from what he expected. “Rose? I didn't know that it was you." He said, surprised to see Rose in his office. “Is there any problem?" Julian asked. “No, I just came here to discuss something with you. I apologize if I'm interrupting your work." Rose said, glancing at the pile of work in front of Julian. “Don't worry, child.
Julian's mood couldn't help but brighten when he saw her smile. "You are very welcome, Rose. Whatever you need, let me know. I will always try to help you out." Julian replied " I understand. That is all I came to see you for, so I will take my leave so that you can get back to work.” Rose nodded and stood up from her seat and walked towards the door. Just as she was about to open the door, Julian suddenly called her. “Rose, just remember that you are part of this family so never hesitate to tell us your problem." He told her, making the corner of Rose's lip to raise up. “I will keep that in mind, Uncle." She told him before walking out of the study room. ………. The next day, Rose followed the Anderson family to the Anderson family house. Only Nicholas didn't come along with them because he claimed he had something to do. When they arrived at the family house, as expected, Anne quickly snatched Rose away from Karen who was already getting used to Rose. Seeing that Rose was pretty
"Think properly? Then you must have been playing games like this for a very long time.” Nicholas remarked. “Nope, I only downloaded this game the second day I came back to California.” Rose replied and closed the game after she completed the level and earned her reward. Nicholas raised his brow at her. She only started playing a game as hard as that one just a few weeks ago. ‘How talented she is. She is even better than most of the professional QA tester employees I have at the company.’ He thought. “About what you asked me to do for you, I'm still working on it." He said, making Rose turn to look at him. She knew what he was talking about and it was the secret investigation she asked him to do about Beatrice for her. Of course, she didn't expect to get any result so soon because it might take a little while for him to figure out anything related to Beatrice. She was the only one that knew that Beatrice was the person behind her mother's accident apart from her mother being p
The next day, Rose had the mindset that it would be a good day at school today. However, fate had other plans for her and her entire peaceful mood was completely ruined that morning. When Rose arrived in the classroom, there were already a lot of students in the room which she felt was very unusual. Upon seeing Rose strut into the classroom, everyone showed a surprised expression. Rose noticed their stares but didn’t care about them. She walked straight to her seat and planned to ask Kehlani what was wrong with everyone. However, she raised her brow when she saw that there were a lot of things that were on her desk. And the things that originally belonged to her had disappeared. Rose brow knitted together as she looked around and finally saw that her belongings were scattered in the trash basket that was placed at the back of the classroom. All of a sudden, the mood of the classroom turned frozen. Rose's eyes fell on Kehlani. “Kel, what happened here?" She asked. “I
"You little rude brat! This is Senior Nia and shows some respect when you talk to your seniors." One of the lackeys behind Nia yelled at Rose who was unfazed by the yell. “Rude? There is a difference between being rude and asking a question. Besides, I'm not the one walking up to someone and asking their name in that delinquent manner." Rose retorted back to the girls who spoke before turning her attention to Nia. “I heard that someone called Senior Nia was the one who did this to my desk. So I want to ask you directly if it's true and why did you trash my personal space?" Rose question. Unlike the other students, she didn't find any of the girls in front of her scary or intimidating at all. “Yes, I'm the one who did this to your desk. The reason is because you dared to insult and bully my younger sister publicly a few days ago. I was not quickly informed about it but my sister has been in a bad mood ever since then. You should be glad I only did this much, so get lost and don't
Rose didn’t answer Nia’s question. She held the knife in her left hand and pointed at her right hand. “Let’s gamble a hand.” What the hell? Gamble a hand? Was she mad? Rose paused for a moment before she continued, “Show me evidence and this hand is for yours to cut; If not, your hand is for me to cut off.” Her voice was slightly childish and would be considered even slightly sweet. However, the words that came out of her mouth were quite scary. She held the scalpel in her left hand and it stayed suspended ten centimeters above her right wrist. It seemed as though she was ready to cut down at any time. Although her words were soft and weak, the way she did things had a force that Nia didn’t have. “You’re crazy and sick!” Nia said. She felt as though Rose had completely gone mad. Everyone else also widened their eyes in surprise. Rose's actions were frightening. Even Kehlani was also at a loss of what to do in this kind of situation. “If you have evidence, there will
“Rose, let's go and report to the teacher's office. I say we handle it ourselves but those damn teachers would eventually intervene.” Sandra said to Rose as she dropped her bag on Kehlani's desk. “Don't worry-" Rose was unable to finish speaking when the assistant Head of Teaching arrived in the classroom. The assistant head of Teaching was a middle-aged man in his early fifties. He had little hair and his hairline almost reached the top of his head. He had a thin body and narrow eyes. In the minds of all the students of the school, he was given the nicknames, ‘Ghosts avoid him’ and ‘Avoid him at all costs’. As soon as the entire class room saw the assistant Head of Teaching, they immediately went back to their seats for the fear that they would be called out for doing something wrong. Sandra, who was used to causing trouble and isn't scared of getting into trouble, stood in her spot and leaned against Kehlani's desk. Nia and her followers followed after the assistant He
