Attitude He was genuinely curious about what she would say next. She smiled after a while. "I thought as much" Francis said after seeing the smile. The next thing she tore the paper into pieces and there it at his face. "You can have your money, arrogant man," she said with a sick smile on her face. "I am so sorry I am the one at fault for expecting an apology from someone with your kind of personality. An apology from you will definitely reduce me to your level. So way beneath me. Do have a good day" She said and turned and walked out to the next street. "Boss should I go after her" Francis' eyes were on her till she turned a corner. "Sir" The driver said getting his attention. "Get in" The driver got in and drove of to their initial destination. ★ROSE HAVEN★ This place is just like it name, roses are everywhere of different color. The place was a lovely place for picnics but it was privately owned not for the public. Maria walked through the gates and took a deep breath. She walked further, her hands touching the roses as she walked pass. she stoped at a place with a clear opening where a tombstone was. The tombstone read: Hailey Diana Brooks 1976-2020 Forever in our hearts ♡ This place was owned by her mom and it was bought in Maria name reason her father didn't take it from her. This is the only closest thing she have of her mother with the photo frame at home. Her father made sure to burn all her memories. That vile man. But that is not why she is here, no negative memories. Maria sat in front of the tombstone. "Good evening mom," She started, her voice filled with emotion. "I know you are doing fine over there," she said looking briefly at the sky. "I finally got the job and I'm so happy, finally I can start helping Aunt May with some bills though I doubt she will let me" she smiled at that. "You know mom, sometimes I wonder how my life would I turned out if not for her. She is more than a God sent. I really miss you but she fills your space though not completely" "I wish you were here to watch me grow, it's been 6 years but it still feels like yesterday. I still remember how you cuddle me to sleep, how you comb my hair, taught me to cook. Even when you took me on my first dentist checkup. Why did death take you form me? Just why?" A tear slipped and she wiped it. "I am not here to cry but to celebrate the good news" "Though I met this guy today, he is so full of himself. Like his car nearly hit me and instead of an apology he threw money at me. Like what does he take me for. A cheap girl. Well trust your daughter I made sure I left with a huge comeback" "The worst part is he is so handsome maybe that is why is arrogant and the cherry on top he is filthy rich. But I'm not moved by money, so he can have them all to himself" "I know you would have handled him much better like you di to the boys who bullied me at school" She said as she reminisces on beautiful memories. She removed the former roses she placed the last time though she noticed one that looked at bit fresher than the others. She shook the thought off feeling she was over thinking. She plucked fresh roses including the ones her mother loved the most, white roses, and replaced the old ones. "Well I have to go now mom, I promise to come celebrate again with you when I fully resume on Monday. Bye" She left after closing the gates. Moments later a figure in black enter the Haven, with a white rose in hand and placed on the tomb. The figure stared at the tomb for a while. Then turned back and left as quietly as they came.
