"Look baby, I'm sorry if my words got you upset. The past few days have been quite challenging for me as I've been under immense pressure to secure a new client for the company. I'm on the verge of finalizing the deal and the stress, lack of sleep, and deep contemplation have been taking a toll on me." He explained, and when Rosie didn't comment, he continued. "I understand, I know, it's my fault that I let these things affect me. It's my life and I have the power to decide what affects me." He added, sounding remorseful. "Oh no Baby," Rosie said, touching his face. All that anger she was feeling minutes ago, suddenly vanished. "Not this one," she said. "You do not have the power to push this one away. This is work," she added. "Yes, I know," Owen responded, twitching his lips, happy and satisfied that his tactics worked perfectly. "Thanks for understanding." She nodded and hugged him, caressing the back of his hair. "I'll always be here if you need me." She assured him, still ho

Rosie walked into the Coastal-inn and found herself swallowing hard. The space was too beautiful and she suspected instantly that she might not be able to afford a meal there. "Good afternoon Ma'am, welcome to Coastal-Inn. This way please." The Waiter at the restaurant saw Rosie in and directed her to a seat. "Good afternoon, thank you so much." She said walking to an empty table. "I'll be back to take your order ma'am" The Waiter announced before leaving. Rosie nodded and picked up her phone, placing a call to Owen. "Babe, are you almost here, I'm at the Coastal-Inn already." She said. "Oh, that's great. I'm headed to the Coastal-Inn. Just left Festers. I should be there, say give or take in the next 45 minutes or less." Owen replied. "You're still so far away. Gosh, Owen! You should have told me you'll be running late. That way I can come much later. Why make me come this early?" She complained. "Not now, Rosie, not now. What's your problem? I'm being held up here an

"Dad, what was all that with that lady at the restaurant?" Angie asked her father. "What was what?" "No... no.. no, don't even act like you don't know what I'm talking about. You were staring at her. I saw you give her that look. Don't deny it." "What look?" "The I-love-what-I-see look." Gregory chuckled, then went ahead to narrate his encounter with Rosie. "No way!" "I would have said the same thing if you told me the story." "But who doesn't know you? She must really be from another planet. Maybe she was upset that the person she was waiting for didn't show up. She was looking so beautiful. I kind of liked her dress. I would also be mad if I put in so much effort into my appearance and get ghosted." Angie said. "Or maybe there was no boyfriend. She may have said that to get rid of me." Gregory shrugged. "No, there was definitely a boyfriend. She looked the part. Poor her, It's possible she ran into her colleague and decided to tag along. A girl's dress and makeup can't just

Rosie walked into the premises of Brass Enterprise. The company was situated at the center of the city. It is a very big company that had her gushing at its beauty and class. Earlier at ZED agency, Owen had made her day at the office a living hell. Having waited for the signed contracts all through Monday but didn't get them. He placed several calls to Brass Enterprise and was told Gregory was in a meeting. He even dropped a series of messages with his secretary but received no reply. So, once Rosie came in to work the following morning, he didn't allow her any breathing space. He literally forced her to Brass Enterprise to see Mr. Gregory and apologize for what she did to him at the Coastal-inn over the weekend. Because he felt Gregory might be stalling with the contract as a form punishment for Rosie being rude to him. Stepping into the reception, Rosie was met by Gregory's Secretary who looked everything but friendly. She greeted the secretary "Good afternoon." The secretar

Getting home later in the day, Gregory Johnson sank into the sitting room chair, fatigued and exhausted from a very hectic day. As hectic as it was, Rosie's brief appearance made it bearable. At the thought of Roseline, he smiled broadly. His soothing thoughts were interrupted by Dean who brought in his briefcase and the Gift bag he got from Roseline. "Thank you Dean. I'll take that." He said and collected the gift bag from him before waving him off to his room with only the briefcase. Angelina walked into the house just as Dean left for Gregory's room. She was dressed for an event, with a silver attention-grabbing purse in her hand. "Look who we have here. Someone decided to grace us with her presence today." Gregory said in a manner of announcement. "Oh Daddy." Angie called, hugging him, a large grin splashed across her face. "I missed you too. I have no doubt that's exactly what you wanted to say." She said, smiling. "I was headed to the TS center, I have a client th
