Rose stopped the car in front of ‘Plum Garden BBQ Korean restaurant’. The name of the restaurant surprised Alex.
“Rose, I never knew you like to eat Korean cuisine,” Alex said.
“This is the only fondness of my mother I didn’t inherit. Although it’s not my favorite cuisine, every year, on her Memorial Day, I visit this restaurant to eat all her favorite dishes and recalled my very little time with her.” Rose said with a heavy heart.
She once again drowns in the painful memories and couldn’t help but regret the fate that she got little time with her mother.
They both walked in together and welcomed by the manager who acquainted Rose well, after all, she visits every year on the same date and booked only one table.
The manager escorts them towards their table, both sat on the chair and started looking towards the menu while talking casually.
“You can order. I hav
The person's speech who is addressing Alex as ‘boss’ pulled the floor beneath Rose’s feet.‘Who is he? What kind of proof is he searching for on my laptop? Is he want to peek in the file of JE Industries’ presentation or bid amount for an upcoming project or what?’‘But how did he come to know about mine and JE Industries’ connection and he could find its presentation on my laptop? No, no, this can’t be possible it’s definitely something else.’‘And how did he come to know, what is my laptop’s password?’Rose, while thinking about all the possibilities, continued to listen but the person at the other end of the phone not talking to Alex anymore. The person was talking to some third person.“Boss is not answering.” The person on the other side of the call was talking to some third person.“But the phone is still on and
“Let’s break up.”“No, Rose, I can’t let you go from my life,” Alex yells.“It’s not you who decides. The base of every relationship is trust, we should have a hundred percent trust in each other, you have lost a few percent trusts in me, now it's meaningless to carry a relationship without trust,” Rose said.She wasn’t calm either, but she was sure in her decision that she doesn’t want to continue the relationship which is a lack of trust.“I will not accept this break-up, you are my woman. I won’t let you go from my life,” Alex said while pointing his index finger towards her and his side.“Scram, I said get out. Get out of my house, get out of my life, never show me your face again,” Rose yell at the top of her lungs.Rose was suppressing her anger for long. Finally, it burst out, he, at first yell at him, and then she st
Justin switched off the television and looked around for his mobile. As he found the mobile, he immediately dialed Rose’s number.Ring went on and on, but nobody picked the call. He dialed again it’s also gone as a missed call and after that, he did several calls but nobody answered his call.After thinking for a little, he dialed Laura’s number.“Hello, Laura?” Justin said.“Hello, brother Justin?” Laura said in a baritone because she was in the café and currently dealing with the customer.Justin’s out of the blue call to Laura made her confuse. Usually, he always calls Rose, but today, suddenly, why did he call her? “Brother Justin, is there something important?”“Laura, where is Rose? I am calling her for a long time, but she is not answering my call. Is she alright? Laura, there is something very important; please make me talk to her. It's ur
The victim identified as an industrialist Alan Lee and investigating officers were in dismay.Including Jack, they all were almost sure that Alan could be the next target but did nothing. It was their recklessness that the killer killed Alan as well.Alex called the spy who is liable to watch over Rose and got to hear that she didn’t come out of her apartment. Even she didn’t show up in the café as well, the whole day.Alex was again getting two minded. Either these crimes have nothing to do with Rose, or someone else is helping her.Photographer was taking pictures of the corpse and the crime scene as well when Alex’s hawk gaze captured something.He came near the corpse of Alan and looked keenly. As like every murder, he was also tortured before killing and he was killed by cutting his throat with a sharp dagger.Alex observed Alan has something in his fist. When they open his fist, they foun
Rose remains expressionless, but her heart was deeply hurt. If the officer didn’t even introduce himself, she still recognized the voice of the officer by listening to just one word from their mouth. He was on the call yesterday addressing Alex ‘Boss’ he could only be his subordinate.Last evening when she burned her laptop she was sure that the police will come to her soon, but she didn’t realize it will be so fast. She didn’t expect Alex will take this step to her.“May I know, why am I suspected?” Rose asked.“You will get all the answers to your question, first come with us.” An officer said in her strict tone.Now, Rose recognized her voice too, she was beside this officer when the call was ongoing.She is Riya, who has never come across Rose but still has resentment for her. Definitely, after last evening’s murder news, her hatred towards Rose has been increase
“My apologizes to you officer Riya,” Rose said.She looks straight and concealed her expression into the colder one while talking to Riya and clearly avoiding Alex’s presence.‘slap’ Alex felt she slapped her without using her hand.Riya is in disdain spare few glances to Alex then one glance at Rose and stormed out of the room.She left Alex and Rose alone behind her in a small interrogation room with a deadly silence that they could hear even each other’s heavy breath sound.Alex was staring at Rose intensely, whereas Rose kept her eyes straight with no expressions. Her face is harder than a stone.Alex so wished to talk to her, make it up to her, held her face and make her look towards him, ask her to forgive him, hug her tightly so that her all anger will melt. Alas, he can’t do that. He is on duty and she is in police detention.Alex also walked out of the room and
“It’s broken,” Rose said.“Broken?” Alex chided. He didn’t imagine she will take action so fast. “How did it break in one day, till yesterday it was fine?”“I was walking in a daze with the laptop in hand, accidentally tripped by the couch, fell down with the laptop and it was broken.”“What? Did you fell down? Did you get hurt?” Anxiety wasn’t hidden in Alex’s voice.Rose turned and her gaze met Alex’s impatience gaze. They both bind with an intense eye lock for few minutes. This is the first time she looked at him since he entered the investigation room.Rose withdraws her gaze from him, and once again fixed it to the blank wall.“Miss Rose, we want your old laptop. No problem if it’s broken, we will make it fix with the help of our engineers’ team. Please tell us the whereabouts of your old laptop,” Henr
Alex orders Henry to switch off the camera of the investigation room making him stopped at the door.“But boss……” Henry wanted to stop his boss from doing anything inappropriate that too in the investigation room, but his words again stuck in her throat by his boss’s one sharp glare.Rose’s indifferent face change to a frown; she didn’t expect Alex to cross his limit when he was on the duty and he even wanted the TV monitor to be off is a matter of worrisome but she quickly concealed her expression but it was too late to hide it from Alex.Alex felt immense pleasure when she saw the change of expression on cold-faced Rose.He took two steps towards Rose, and she took two steps back.“Officer, what are you doing?” Rose asked.“Nothing, cross-questioning to you. I want to ask a few questions and you have to answer.” Alex said.Alex moves forward t
