The day Rose heard the truth

"What do you have planned for tomorrow?" Liam inquires as he eats his noodles, his left hand resting on his thighs.

"Not much," Rose says, nodding to Liam.

"I think I'll show them my sketches from today." as Rose adds after finishing her food.

"I see.....so you went around merely to acquire ideas," Liam adds, rubbing his palms together.

Rose was exhausted after their dinner, so they both went to bed.

Rose and Liam awoke the next day as usual, their individual dress up session having developed into an hour shoot.

Rose wore a sober white gown, while Liam wore a formal suit.

Both appeared to be newlyweds, but their age disparity made them appear to be sister and brother.

"Michel, when are you coming?" Liam, gritting his teeth, asks Michel over the phone.

"Wait up, I'm in the lobby," Michel adds as he hangs up the phone.

"I'm sorry for the delay, but we're going immediately because Michel is inside the lobby," Liam explains.

Rose nods, and they both exit the room at the same time.

Rose and Liam arrived in front of "De cafta," a 50 million dollar apartment, and they both entered.

One of the staff says to Rose and Liam, "Hello sir and ma'am, we have the reservation booked from Mr. Jones the supervisor, please be seated on the sofa."

"Would you like to have anything?" While seated on the sofa, the waiter inquires.

"No," Liam responds, shaking his head, "but I suppose we'll have some drinks."

"Very good then... Mr. Jones will be here in ten minutes," one of the employees adds, nodding and smiling.

"These days in Korea are forcing me to run a business...nice to meet you young lady" Mr. Jones appears, unbuttoning his coat and kissing Rose on the hand while greeting them.

"Ahhh- the dashing gentlemen....how long has it been since the celebration in New York?" Mr. Jones shakes Liam's hand and chuckles.

"Please take a seat...so our directors have chosen to put on an expensive exhibition next month, and we're attempting to meet our target on a variety of issues. The president of the cake boutique will be present that day. They want you two to deliver a full report and proposal of your work in front of the exhibition, and the details will be communicated to you." While looking at his phone, Mr. Jones says.

"Would you like to view some of my work, then?" As she makes eye contact with Mr. Jones, Rose inquires.

Mr. Jones smiles and rises from his seat, saying, "Sure, let's take it to dinner time since I have an important interview to do, excuse me."

Mr. Jones points to Liam and says, "Well, you best be ready with the lecture." Liam nods as he introduces himself as a company employee.

Rose sat on the sofa for hours, making phone calls to her coworkers.

"Liam I'm heading to the hotel since I'm not feeling well" Rose says this while her hand rests on her forehead.

"Are you sleepy?" Liam inquires as he walks her through the exit door on his shoulder.

"You barely made it to the bathroom?"

"Do you think you can rest in the hotel?" As they approach the restroom door, Liam inquires.

"I'm not sure we should end the dinner session," Rose adds, her stomach clenched.

"Should I make a call to the lady servant?" As he observes a blood mark on her dress, Liam inquires.

"Ummm...I think you should change into something more comfy," Liam says as he looks down.

"Get the lady servant, I'm OK," Rose adds, looking at him.

As he exits the restroom, Liam nods in agreement with her offer.

As he approaches a lady servant, Liam says, "Please peek into the toilet, a lady needs to change her clothing."

"Sir, please choose the dress for the lady," the lady servant replies with a nod.

"Well, I would like her to dress in some dark colour with some excellent neck piece," Liam shrugs and says.

Rose entered the room wearing a robe and holding a warm glass of water.

The servant says, "Sir, I think the lady will look beautiful in this piece of black clover dress with a high neck," as Liam nods and says, "carry it to her."

Liam and the servant with the dress approached the room from the front.

Rose shouts "get in" as Liam knocks.

"Here's your dress, and make sure you don't wear any dark makeup," Liam says as he places her dress on the bed.

Liam exits the room without saying anything, and Rose nods.

"Well, ma'am, I believe you would enjoy this piece of clothing, as he carefully selected it." Rose is told by the servant.

With a smile, Rose remarks, "Really, he has an excellent choice in apparel."

Rose emerges from the room an hour later, elegantly clothed in black flat heels and make-up.

"You took a long time.... Jones, he just arrived an hour ago," Liam shouts angrily to Rose.

"I was hesitant to come out since the dress did not feel very nice because it is basic," Rose explains, pulling her hair behind her ear.

"Well, whatever, come on, we've got to go," Liam replies, his fist clenched.

"Oh my goodness, you guys look so fresh...did you change your dress?" Mr. Jones makes a statement while sitting in a chair with his legs crossed.

"You know, you're an irritating man I've known since high school," Liam adds as he sits in the chair.

"Sit here," Liam instructs Rose.

Rose nods and takes a seat in the opposite chair.

"Have you two known each other since high school?" Rose inquires as she sits on her chair.

"Well, you have the upper hand now, Rose, if you pose the question now." Mr. Jones smiles and says.

"Remember when Madalene approved your love letter and you fell out of your chair?" While sipping his wine, Liam says.

"Do you not recall the first year when Madalene stated she made a devastating confession to you?" Jones asks, laughing while making a hand gesture.

"That was a real pain. I had to make her think I was a moron, "Liam explains.

"I still recall Sasha and you kissing in front of the class so you could leave Madalene."Jones tells Liam.

"Well, now that we look, she's in Africa with Drevin and has a two-year-old daughter, isn't she?" Liam inquires, his gaze fixed on Rose.

Jones says, "Yeahh."

"Can I ask you a personal question, Rose?" Jones inquires as he stands in front of her.

"Are you sure, sir?" Rose explains.

"Have you known Sasha for a long time?" Jones inquires, his gaze fixed on Rose.

"Sasha is, um, my cousin. She used to reside in Berlin, but now she works as a director at a new company." While panicking, Rose says.

"Oh, well, you see, she's my bride-to-be for next year, so I just needed to confirm that she talks about you all the time, so you're welcome." Jones says to Rose with a light smile.
