Rose, picked up the dress, after she had her bath, The dress was a special garment composed of delicate, blush-colored silk that emphasized her innate elegance and delicacy. Her stunning attractiveness was enhanced by the dress's exquisite lace and lovely stitching. The tight neckline emphasized her slim body, while the skirt cascaded down in graceful waves, giving an ethereal appearance with each stride she took.Rose tried to focus her attention on her hair. She decided to let her hair down in free, romantic curls, enabling golden strands to frame her face. She added a few delicate flowers to her hair, carefully chosen to match her gown and lend a bit of simplicity to her entire look. She smiled awkwardly as she caught a glimpse of her mirror, not knowing if Sebastian would notice the change in demeanor.She decided to add a trace of makeup to complement her natural features.

As Rose prepared for the day ahead, the morning sun shed a pleasant glow through the windows of Sebastian's mansion. She'd spent the night in a separate room, the one he had assigned to her, her heart heavy with unfulfilled expectations. Sebastian had unexpectedly gone the previous evening for a rendezvous with her in the garden of his estate leaving Rose feeling even more distant, not knowing what his next step or demand would be and what he might want from it.Rose stood in front of her vanity mirror, her fingers delicately combing through her the flowing curls of her hair as she considered her appearance. She chose an attractive yet modest attire, a dress that showed both professionalism and her own distinct sense of taste. She couldn't help but wonder what was in store for her at Sebastian's office as she dressed herself with discreet trinkets.Meanwhile, Sebastian was standing in his study, fixing his tie with detached care.

A flood of nostalgia and longing washed over her, reminding her of simpler times when their lives were filled with laughter, late-night study sessions, and shared dreams.With an unsteady v hand, Rose accepted the call and brought the phone to her ear. "Hello?" she said, her voice betraying a hint of nervousness.Rose! Oh my goodness, it's been ages! How are you?" Emily's voice bubbled with enthusiasm, instantly filling the room with a sense of familiarity and warmth.A sense of relief washed over Rose as she heard her friend's familiar tone.

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

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.
