Rebirth: Dancing In My Destiny -
Chapter 134: The Plan
Chapter 134: The Plan
When Rose finished getting ready, she went to the living area and found Evan neatly dressed in his white slim-fit shirt with gray trousers. Evan’s sharp gaze was fixed on her but this time his gaze was so gentle and charming it made Rose flutter.
While on another sofa, there’s Sam. He is also neatly dressed in his black suit with his back facing Rose.
Rose joined them. She sat beside Evan. But the moment her eyes looked at Sam, she was surprised. Sam looks miserable like someone has just scolded him badly. She could only chuckle silently in her heart, wondering if Evan was punishing Sam for a mistake he didn’t commit.
"Morning, Sam!" Rose greeted Sam cheerfully, but Sam awkwardly answered her greeting.
Rose felt weird looking at the forced smile framing Sam’s gloomy-looking face. She was pretty sure Evan really got mad at Sam. Feeling sorry for Sam, she looks at Evan. She draws closer to him and whispers.
"Evan, stop scolding him. Yesterday’s incident was purely my fault. Not Sam’s fault. I feel bad to see his gloomy-looking face." Rose’s voice was so low that only she and Evan could hear. However, Sam was so worried when he saw Boss Evan’s expression was the same, stolid.
Rose felt relieved when she saw Evan nod, understanding what she was saying. She didn’t want others to be blamed for her mistakes.
After reassuring his girl not to worry, Evan turned his gaze at Sam opposite him with an expressionless look. He said, "Sam, can you take off that gloomy face of yours?" His voice was soft, but Rose and Sam could hear how cold and intimidating his words were.
Sam was confused by Evan’s words, but he didn’t say anything. In a hurry, he tried adjusting his expression to the happiest face he could manage to show. But, Boss Evan’s last words are like a big blow hitting Sam’s head,
"My woman can’t stand your gloomy face, so never ever show that expression again before her... do you understand?" Evan continued his words as he stroked Rose’s back. His gentle smile is like asking Rose to praise him for his actions.
Sam immediately nodded quickly without forgetting to smile widely. "L-Lady Boss... don’t worry, I will never show my gloomy face again." His cheerful tone echoed through the room.
Rose was utterly speechless. She glared at Evan as if she scolded him with her sharp gaze; How could you say that to poor Sam?
Now Rose felt awkward facing Sam. She quickly stood up from her seat and said goodbye to Evan. She didn’t want to linger in the room, afraid her boyfriend would continue to bully her assistant.
"Let me take you there..." Evan stood up, walking with vast strides. With only a few steps, he was already walking right beside Rose.
"Evan! No need, Sam and Oliver are going with me. I will call you when my business is done. We can have lunch together later...." Rose didn’t want to trouble Evan. Besides, Sam and Oliver were going with her.
"Alright! But, you can’t go alone. Make sure Sam is always with you...." This is Evan’s more significant concern now, her safety. After yesterday’s kidnapping. He was also worried that Willard Harper’s fans would discover his lover’s identity.
Another problem that gave Evan a headache yesterday was the fuss on social media about a new actor following Rose’s private Instagram account. Evan has used his network to threaten Willard Harper’s Entertainment Agency. If those actors don’t make a statement soon, the Agency will go bankrupt in a short time, and Willard will be boycotted from this country.
"Evan, I promise you, I will stay beside Sam!" She buries her head in his embrace as she smiles silently.
Rose liked when Evan was very protective of her, but sometimes she also felt like a fragile person. She didn’t like being treated like a weak woman. She wants to be a strong woman physically and mentally.
For the mentally is no doubt. But physically? She needs extra practice. Apparently, she had to speed up to make her body stronger. Or she should find something that can be mastered quickly to protect herself.
Rose saw Sam standing beside her as soon as the elevator doors closed. His face was still grim.
"Did Evan scold you?"
"Y-Yes, My Lady Boss!"
"Well, Sam... you have to remember. You are currently working for me. No need to worry about Evan’s threat. I got your back."
Sam saw Lady Boss’s face. A smile framed his face for a moment. "Thank you, Lady Boss, you are such an angel. I promise you... an incident like this will never happen again. I will be around you no matter what!" Sam’s promise wholeheartedly.
Rose could only chuckle slightly. How could he follow her everywhere? What if she goes to the women’s restroom? Can this big man disguise himself as a woman?
Rose’s laughter almost broke when she thought of Sam in a long wig and women’s clothes. Gosh!
"Sam, do you know how to quickly learn how to protect me?" Rose glanced at Sam. "Don’t tell me. I have to practice martial arts or any other self-defense skills. But it takes a long time to master it, and I need to master it faster...Is there any self-defense skill that I could master quickly, Sam?"
Sam nods, "Y-Yes, Lady Boss! I might know one skill you can learn faster than martial art...."
"Really!?" Rose felt excited. She turned to look at Sam with sparkling-looking eyes. "What is it?"
"Shooting with pistol or gun skill!"
Instantly, Rose’s shoulders slumped. She never held a pistol or any firearms in her entire life. In fact, it was the first time she had seen guns with her own eyes when an incident happened yesterday. And she immediately fainted as soon as she heard the sound of gunfire, even though it only sounded faint at that time because the firearm used was using a silencer.
What if she heard an actual gunshot? She might faint forever. Gosh!
Suddenly another idea appeared in her mind. Archery is an option other than shooting guns. This could be an option. She can learn it quickly, and there are no horrible sounds when she shoots an arrow. But... wouldn’t it be weird if she carried a bow in her daily activities?
If something like yesterday happened, the criminal would have shot her first before she could draw the bow. NO! Archery is not an option for self-defense.
Sam was right. The quickest is to learn how to shoot a pistol.
But the question is, will she be able to deal with her fear of hearing gunshots?

In the Presidential Suite.
After Rose left with Sam, Evan immediately took out his cellphone and called Gavin, his assistant. "Gavin! Change of plan! Move the event to the Rose room in Dream Hotel. And execute it now...." Evan said as he walked into the study room.
"B-Boss! Are you sure? I think I need more time...."
"Do whatever it takes before Rose comes back from her meeting," Evan said as he smiled sweetly, imagining his plan for his beloved woman today. He couldn’t wait...
