Her stunning attractiveness was enhanced by the dress's exquisite lace and lovely stitching. The tight neckline emphasized her slim body, while the skirt cascaded down in graceful waves, giving an ethereal appearance with each stride she took.Rose tried to focus her attention on her hair. She decided to let her hair down in free, romantic curls, enabling golden strands to frame her face. She added a few delicate flowers to her hair, carefully chosen to match her gown and lend a bit of simplicity to her entire look. She smiled awkwardly as she caught a glimpse of her mirror, not knowing if Sebastian would notice the change in demeanor.She decided to add a trace of makeup to complement her natural features.

As Rose prepared for the day ahead, the morning sun shed a pleasant glow through the windows of Sebastian's mansion. She'd spent the night in a separate room, the one he had assigned to her, her heart heavy with unfulfilled expectations. Sebastian had unexpectedly gone the previous evening for a rendezvous with her in the garden of his estate leaving Rose feeling even more distant, not knowing what his next step or demand would be and what he might want from it.Rose stood in front of her vanity mirror, her fingers delicately combing through her the flowing curls of her hair as she considered her appearance. She chose an attractive yet modest attire, a dress that showed both professionalism and her own distinct sense of taste.

As the day came to a close, Rose had Already started feeling comfortable with Hilda, she was smart and could quickly adapt to people's emotions and reactions. Like when Rose told her to call her just Rose and not Mrs Wayne, she never made the mistake again. She somehow knew that Rose's sudden change in reaction was maybe because she faced some issues with Sebastian. Dealing with people saying all sorts of things about the boss's relationship was enough for anyone to be uncomfortable, especially rose.As they headed down the hallway, through a crowd of employees clearing their desk and rounding up for the day, mostly with an exhausted look on their faces. Rose couldn't help but wonder how much work they were required to do everyday, considering she didn't do much of any work rather than getting to know more about the Wayne group from Hilda.

Or maybe it was a mistake, a butt dial probably.She laid down on her bed, reaching out to her foreheads, remembering the pain that had lodged there for the past few hours.
