Chapter 22

Rosebud Martinez

Celine blocked my way as I tried to walk past her. I was going to ignore her.

“I see you are still hanging around Bruce even after years…” she smiled. “Why don't you give it up already, Rosebud? He doesn't even like you.”

“Why don't you get a man for yourself and stop lurking around Bruce?”

“How is that supposed to be your business, Celine?” I crossed my arms in front of me.

“Why? Do you want him back now?”

She rolled her eyes.

“What if I said yes?”

“What happened to Tony? The dude you cheated on Bruce with? Has he left you already?”

Back then, Bruce loved her so much, but she didn't bat a lash before betraying him, hence why they broke up then.

She clenched her jaw tightly, glaring at me.

“That is between Bruce and me. Not your business.”

“I didn't say it was, sweetheart. You were the one putting your nose in my business.” I smiled at her softly, and she huffed.

“If you will excuse me, now.”

I brushed shoulders with her as I walked past her, but my hear

    Chapter 39 Rosebud Martinez ‘Appointment with CEO of Kent’s corp’ The reminder popped up in my phone as I got ready for the office. I stood in front of the mirror to admire myself briefly. White suit always hits differently. Its elegance is always unexplainable. My phone rang as I reached for my handbag. It was Clara. I picked on the first ring. “Clara…” I exited the room, walking along the hallway. “Good morning, Ms. Martinez. I called to remind you about your appointment with Ms. Kendal. It's in two hours.” “Yes, I know. I'll be in the office soon.” The call ended as I walked inside the living room. Mathew wasn't anywhere around. I guess he didn't come home last night, or even this morning. That's his business anyway. He was the least of my worries. I drove to the company, and headed to my office. Clara wasn't on seat, so I called her as I walked inside my office. “Where are you?” I asked. “I'm sorry, ma. I went to the canteen to grab breakfast.” “Alr

    Chapter 37 Rosebud Martinez “What's my schedule for today, Clara?” I didn't spare Clara a glance, as my gaze was fixated on my computer screen, slowly scrolling through the market stock. I started working as soon as I arrived at the company thirty minutes ago. “Appointment with Mr. John by noon. Sightseeing by 2pm, and board meeting by 4pm.” I paused and rubbed my temple, groaning silently. That's a whole lot of work to do today. I was already exhausted from yesterday, but they were all important, so postponing any of them wasn't even an option. “Alright.” I nodded. “Ms. Kendal of Kent corp reached out, ma. She said she needed to discuss something with you directly.” “Not today, Clara. Tell her Thursday when she reaches out to you again. I will send you the details of the place and time before then.” I waved my hand in the air dismissively, reclining on the chair. “Alright, ma.” “You can go if that's all. I'll call you if I need anything else.” I dismissed her. ***** My p

    Chapter 36 Rosebud Martinez I stepped out of the car the moment it pulled over at Mathew’s parking lot, heading inside. I stepped into the quiet apartment, its air heavy with unspoken tension. I walked ahead, past the dimly lit hallway, straight into the living room. “Rose… honey… Hear me out, please.” Mathew ran after me, but I didn't spare a glance, nor falter my steps. “I can explain, honey.” I was forced to halt abruptly when he held my hand. My skin recoiled with disgust, so I yanked his hand off, turning to face him. “What is it, Mathew?” “Let me explain what happened, honey. You misunderstood everything that happened.” I scoffed. “You already explained, Mathew. You stood in for Megan's boyfriend. What's there to explain to me again?” “But you are still mad at me.” I closed the distance between us. “Or were those lies? Is there something else you want to tell me? He batted his eyelashes, swallowing whatever it was in his throat as he took a step back.

    Chapter 35 Rosebud Martinez “Shame. She didn't stay for dessert.” He chuckled softly. “Why'd you do that? Megan probably had something to discuss with you.” I glared at him, and he scoffed. “Nothing. I thought we could all hang out together.” His eyes said otherwise. He did that deliberately, but I didn't press on. “Enough of Megan. Why don't we talk about you, hmm? You don't look fine. Is everything alright?” It amazes me how Bruce could always read through me like I was a book. Even when I try to hide my emotions, he could always tell. “I'm fine.” “No, you're not… Come on, talk to me.” He propped his chin with his elbows on the table, eyes on me. I bit my lip hard. “Don't worry about it. It's nothing serious. I can handle it.” Not that he could do anything about it if I told him anyway, so what was the point? And I didn't want to look pathetic. I mean, this is about my work, so I should be able to handle it without his help. He smirked. “You know I'm not giving up jus

    Chapter 34 Megan Martinez “Hello, Mr. Collins. I am calling regarding your warehouse construction. I was wondering if we can work together.” I spoke on the phone, barely confident. “Who is this?” I frowned as Mr. Collins' annoying raspy voice sounded through the phone. Seriously? We'd spoken before. I even helped him land a property once. Mr. Collins and I have worked together on a project before. I had helped him secure a property before, so it was surprising he didn't know it was me. “It's me, Megan… Megan Martinez or Meg realty.” He went silent for a moment. Like he was trying to process my words, or he still couldn't recognise me. “Mr. Collins…” “I'm already talking to a realtor about it, ms. Martinez. Thanks for reaching out. I'll let you know in the future if I need your help.” “Mr. Collins…” The call ended with a beep. He didn't wait for me to say a word. I sighed, dragging my nails through my hair. I was going to strike a deal with Bruce last time, when he
