“And here comes the one that is always late among us." The playful looking man remarked as he got up from his seat and walked towards Rose who was still on the floor. He stretched his hand towards her to help her up. Nicholas still had frowns on his face, his gaze was glued on Rose wondering why and what a girl was doing here. “Are you okay?" The playful looking man asked after Rose managed to take his hand while using her other hand to rub her head which the door had hit. “I think I'm fine. Thank you Mister." Rose slowly replied and got up to her feet. Just as she thought, she was still short just by standing next to the man. “Nicholas, you came late today? What is the cause of your lateness today?" The second man asked as he glanced at their fourth friends who were still standing by the door with his gaze on Rose. “I had something to take care of.” Nicholas replied and finally looked away from Rose and glanced at his friend. " You're alway have something to do and keep us wa

"What a beautiful and cute young girl she is.” Christopher couldn't help but remark in admiration after Rose closed the door. The moment he saw Rose, was the same moment he liked her and wanted to dote on a beautiful young girl like her. She was the little sister he never got the chance to have. "You should see how scheming and cunning she is.” Alex suddenly remarks, recalling his two recent encounters with her at the jewelry shop and at the boutique. However, his remark suddenly made his three friends turn towards him with a questioning gaze. “What do you mean by that, Alex?" Nicholas asked. “Have you met her before? Do you know her?" Edward also added. “I won't say we knew each other. After all, she was my girlfriend for five minutes." Alex calmly replied. “What?! Have you lost your mind completely? How can you choose a beautiful and innocent young girl like her as your girlfriend?.....wait! Did I hear correctly just now?!" Christopher, who was ready to lash out at Alex, sudde

A few minutes later, Rose walked towards the dining table where she met Beatrice, Sophia and William sitting on their respective seats. As usual she walked towards the seat at the end of the table opposite William who was sitting at the head to table. The three stare at Rose with different thoughts running in their mind as they watch her walk towards them with a calm and collected demeanor and take her seat.“Good evening, father." Rose greeted William after sitting down. William nodded his head without saying anything. Beatrice quickly gestured to the maids to serve the food and they all left, leaving the four people alone.No one said anything to each other and started digging into their food. Rose was the only one who wasn't eating like the others and it was because her stomach was still filled with the food she had eaten with Alex and his friends.“So, Rose. How was the exam you took today?” William asked, breaking the silence at the dining tables."It went well. I thought my s

“What are you going to do now, Frank?" Anthony asked, cutting Frank out of his thoughts. “Do Anne and the young Masters know about this?" He added. Frank shook his head and looked at Anthony. "Anne does not know about this. However, I have already sent this image to Julian but not yet to Tony.” He finally replied. Anne was his wife who was out of the country with his first daughter-in-law. “I will call Julian to know what he thinks about this before I make my move and tell Anne about this." He added. “I understand." Anthony nodded his head. Just like that, the two old men began talking about what to do. Julian Anderson was sitting in his study room after having dinner with his two sons. He had received a call from his father who told him to check the thing he sent him so he was going through it. “This….. this can't possibly be Ruby's daughter?” Just like his father, he quickly recognized Rose as Ruby's daughter. At the same moment while Julian was still in bewilderment a

“Hey, calm down. These are just baseless rumors from jealous people. If a dog bites you, you can’t bite them back. It would only make you more crazier than the dog.” She quickly interrupted Leo. These rumors will not affect her in any way. There were also rumors like this in her previous life when both Sophia and Beatrice had painted her reputation in a bad way. Leo let out a sigh while looking at her. He couldn’t help but pity his new little junior. She is just a weak young girl in his eyes. He shook his head. He is the only capable person right now to protect his little junior in school seeing how everyone disliked her. He clenched his jaw, determination visible in his eyes. From now on, he will be the one protecting his little junior. He will not allow other people to slander her in any way. What he didn’t know was that Rose would eventually turn out to be more than just his junior in the future. But currently, if Rose could hear his thoughts right now, she would surely die fro
