Rose found it incredibly frustrating that Andre would try to make small talk with her after he had been so harsh. It felt insincere, and like he was trying to cover up his earlier behavior. She knew she had to be polite, but she couldn't help but feel a bit of resentment. He had no right to act like nothing had happened, and she was determined to make sure he knew that.

She was angry, and she wanted him to know how much his words had hurt her. She was more determined than ever before to make her point.

As she stood up from her chair, their eyes locked. It was clear that he knew she had heard his question. Without another word, she turned and walked out the door.

The silence that followed was deafening, broken only by the sound of the door closing behind her.

Dante, the butler, stood there in shock. In all his years of service, he had never seen anyone treat his master with such disrespect.

Andre sat there, stunned and embarrassed. He had never been disrespected like this before, and it left him feeling uncertain and exposed. Rose's boldness had caught him completely off guard, and he struggled to process what had just happened. He had always been the one in control, but for the first time, he felt out of his depth.

Dante had been standing nearby when Rose left, and he had seen the look of anger and determination on her face. He had never seen her like this before, and he wondered what had happened to provoke such a strong reaction. He also wondered if this would have any lasting impact on his master, who had always seemed so confident and in control.

After a few moments, he turned his attention back to his duties, but he couldn't shake the feeling that something big had just happened.

Rose ran up the stairs as her anger bubbled up inside her. She slammed the door to her room as she paced back and forth, trying to process what had just happened. As she thought about it, she started to feel guilty for losing her temper, but then she remembered that he had been out of line. She needed to establish boundaries and let him know that she wouldn't put up with his behavior. She couldn't afford to let him push her around anymore.

Andre on the other side went up to his room, he tried to forget what had happened but he was unable to. She caught him off guard.

The next morning, Rose and Andre both emerged from their rooms at the same time. As they locked their doors, Rose felt Andre's eyes on her. Her hands were shaking. she knew she had to maintain her demeanor from the day before, in order to keep Andre from continuing his unwelcome advances. She straightened her back and steeled herself for the day ahead.

Throughout breakfast, Andre acted as if there was no one else in the room. As they left the dining room and got into the car, he continued this attitude, not saying a word.

Once they arrived at the office, Rose sat at her desk and tried to focus on her work. But then, her phone rang. It was Andre, asking her to come to his office. With a sinking feeling in her stomach, Rose got up and walked to his door.

As Rose stepped inside, Andre looked up from his desk and gestured for her to sit down. Rose did so, keeping her expression neutral. Andre closed his laptop and looked at her.

"About last night," he began, "I want to apologize. I don't know what came over me, but I'm sorry for how I acted. So why the cold shoulder today?"

Rose took a deep breath and steeled herself to speak.

"I appreciate your apology, but with all due respect, we are all matured, you should know that words hurt people, I honestly feel like you are intentionally trying to frustrate me" she said, choosing her words carefully.

Andre wanted to make things right but at that point she was beginning to piss him off, but for the first time ever he wanted to make things right.

He felt the tension last night, he didn't want that to happen again.

"How about I take you out for dinner?" He asked with a smile on his face.

Rose was caught off guard, she wanted the date but she wanted him to beg her a lot more.

"I will take your silence as a yes". He said.

After a minute of silence, he spoke again.

"That will be all for, you can go back to work". Andre said.

This time they didn't follow their normal schedule of going straight to the mansion after work, instead of going to the Hiltons mansion, the chauffeur drove to a Restaurant.

The car pulled up to the restaurant, and Rose stepped out. The outside was decorated with flowers and fairy lights, and it seemed like something out of a fairy tale. She had never been to this restaurant before, but it looked like it would be an amazing experience. As they walked up to the door, she took a deep breath and tried to calm her nerves.

Inside, the restaurant was even more beautiful than she had imagined. The decor was elegant and luxurious, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting.

As they walked into the restaurant, a hostess walked up to them. She greeted Andre with a smile, and he greeted her back warmly. It was clear that they knew each other, and that the hostess was giving Andre a great deal of respect.
