Chapter 31: Jealous
As Rose sat on the sofa, she was mesmerized by the view outside. She can see a river that divides the city between the business district and the district where her campus and her homes are located.
It was rare for her to come to this business district during her stay in this city. And this is the first time she sees this city from a tall building. The view is so stunning. She wanted to see how it looked from up here at night.
"What do you want to drink, Rose?" Suddenly Evan asks her.
Rose immediately looks at Evan. He was sitting on a single sofa. He looks handsome, even though he only wears his gray slim fit shirt and black trousers. His charisma was no joke. Her fragile heart beat faster, and her hungry eyes could not turn away from his deep blue eyes.
"H-Hot coffee. Thank you, Evan...." She needs caffeine to make her focus so as not to be lulled by his charm. Gosh Rose!!
Evan took a landline phone from the side table. He gave orders to someone.
"Evan, I like your office. What else is the scenery out there..." Rose said after seeing Evan hang up the phone.
"Well, I rarely come to this office, don’t have much time. I mostly work from my home office...." Apart from that, he is more comfortable working in his quiet home. He is also too lazy to spend 30 minutes driving to the business street. What more if he has to come here during rush hour, the traffic is hefty. He didn’t like it.
"I thought you came here every day..."
Rose suddenly remembered. Earlier she saw a pretty secretary with bobbed hair outside. When she first saw the woman, she felt a weird feeling; Scared, insecure about losing something. That woman looked like a threat in her eyes.
"The location of this office is quite far from my house. I don’t like to waste my time coming here when I can do my work from home..." Evan smiles, looking at her before he continues. "But, I thought from now on, I will work from here because my pretty girlfriend will accompany me...."
