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. Some of them still stared at Rose with contempt and sneer,some with a subtle look of pity, some acted weirdly when they approached her."Hello Mrs
"Ma'am, ma'am" . Rose shifted, she could no longer hear the sounds of the streets and the honking of cars and shouting of drivers. Instead it was silent, cool, too quiet. "Ma'am", she kept hearing as she struggled to open her eyes. It was Jim, his head out of the car now, and the door was opened. She had been asleep. She wondered how long she had been asley as she looked around and immediately recognized the lush and serenity of the Wayne I residence. They were already home. She looked again and Jim was stariy at her, now with a slightly questioning and funny look,as if to say aren't you coming out. She didn't realize when she dozzed of, or for how long she had been asleep for. She crouched and moved as she came out of the car, Jim holding her hands as she balanced her foot on the ground."Thank you" she muttered. "Thank you ma'am" Jim said, not looking into her face. She turned and smiled at him, "you're supposed to say you're welcome". Jim turned and looked at her, appreciatin
Rose felt good that her brother was calling her when she wanted to do the same. It felt like she was thinking about him the same time he was about her. But as she smiled at her phone and attempted to pick up the call l, the call went dead. It had only rang for few seconds.Rose tried to call back but there was no answerShe tries until she had to stop herself from trying. Maybe he changed his mind she thought. 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. Rose looked at the time and it was almost midnight. She could tell Sebastian wasn't home yet. She pondered on the kind of relationship they had, and the one she would actually want. She sighed as she went through her thoughts.Since she knew him they had never spoken through the phone. He always sent someone to deliver his messages or gifts when he had any for her. She had his number,but calling Sebastian w
Jim opened the door with a smile on his face, his face wasn't as straight as it was the previous day. "Good morning Mrs Wayne" he said his voice sounded like he was getting comfortable. That was one of Rose's attributes, she had the ability to make people feel at ease, regardless of the position they held. Rose was wearing a grey dress, one adorned with small and countless glittering beads..She seemed more glamorous thanks to the outfit, which glitterd with each step she took displaying its countless tiny, sparkling beads. She could not help but feel a reassuring sense of peace encompassing her as she walked because the outfit enhanced her inherent beauty. It wasn't an all look dress but it was definitely just alright for Rose.As they moved through the main areas of Chesterfield which was gradually getting busier as people hurried to their business for the day. She had decided to leave the house earlier than usual. She had a plan of getting breakfast at a not so popular place.
As Rose walked up slowly but calculatedly to Sebastian's office, she wondered why he wasn't at the house yesterday, he was probably caught up with work. But she hadn't seen him at the company since the day he came in with her. Hilda was still by her side, giving her directions to his office which was at the top of the building. From her side eye she could see that Hilda was observing her movements, she struggled to keep calm, and tried to keep her emotions in check and not show any signs of nervousness."I think I'll be able to find my way from here" Rose said as they got to the elevator. "Okay ma'am", "when you get to the last floor, it's the last office at the end of the hallway". "Thank you" Rose said, now already inside the elevator, she avoided Hilda's gaze as the elevator doors slowly joined together. The hallways were beautifully adorned with flowers and exotic portraits, it was slightly long and from where she stood she could see his door, it was big and plated with gol
He walked up to Rose, who was noey standing with the glass still in her hands. He took the glass from her and dropped it gently on the table. And then slowly his hands went to he dressy, slightly and gently guiding his hands up. Rose flinched, moving slightly away from him causing her dress to fall back in place. 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. He let go of her arm, and picked up his glass. He chuckled softly again as he walked away In his almost perfe
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
Rose carefully took off the dress and headed towards the bathroom. She entered and shut the door behind her to enclose herself in the solitude of the room. She took a moment in the bathroom to gather her thoughts and consider the complex feelings and unstated power dynamics that seemed to permeate her present circumstance.Time passed as Rose struggled to find clarity and resolution in the midst of her inner turmoil. She considered her relationship with the relevant individual or people, assessing the ramifications of her decisions and any potential repercussions they might have. The restroom turned into a haven for her, a brief haven from the outside world where she could process her emotions and gather the fortitude to face whatever lied ahead.Rose made a decision at last, after what seemed like an age. As she put on her robe, a sense of resolve and self ease came over her. She left the bathroom with a newfound assurance in her deeds, and the door softly clicked shut behind her.R
