Chapter 64: Childhood Friend
"I can’t hold myself anymore... I miss you terribly, Rose!" Evan said softly.
His mind betrays him. Every minute Rose’s image always appears in his mind. Not only his mind, but he can feel like his heart also torture him. He wants to go back to East city and meet her. But again, he remembered Rose once said to him to settle everything in the capital before he could come back to East city.
Actually, he wanted to go back and forth between East and the capital because he only needed 45 minutes using a helicopter. Still, Rose forbade him to do so because his girl was too worried that he would be exhausted and just wasting money.
"All your business done there?"
"Yes! Your apartment is now clean and ready. You can move in anytime. Also, your office is ready to use. As for your company, the registry is also finished once you sign the paper... I will tell you the details when we meet." Evan could have asked Marvin to do all of this. However, he wanted to make sure everything was perfect. So that his girl can move comfortably.
Rose feels grateful that Evan is considerate of taking care of everything for her. She wanted so badly to help him, but she couldn’t leave her mother right now. She needed another week to train a new maid and ensure her mother’s condition improved.
"Thank you, Evan... it feels like a ’Thank You’ is not enough to repay all your kindness," Rose muttered, but Evan could hear her clearly. She continued, "Evan, please, don’t treat me like this... It’s getting harder for me to leave you if you’re too nice to me like this."
Rose felt her eyes warm and blurry. Evan really touches her heart now. "I will fulfill whatever you wish if we meet later, Evan..." She casually said that.
"Don’t think that, Rose!" He said firmly, but later, he paused hearing her last sentence. She wanted him to make a wish?
A playful smile instantly appeared on Evan’s face as he stood from his chair and walked near the window, looking at the scenery from his apartment.
"I’ll say my wish when we meet. You better grant my wish, Rose!" Evan felt joy as he continued his words.
For a moment, Rose stared at the black screen of her cellphone. She immediately regretted saying those words. She had a bad feeling she was about to fall into her own trap when she heard Evan excitedly shout on the other end.
"Gosh! What have I done?" Rose murmurs silently. She hopes Evan will never ask anything weird, such as us signing their wedding registry! Evan had been talking about it lately. And several times, she was almost tricked into his trap.
She didn’t want to marry Evan yet, not because she didn’t like him. But, she still has not met his family. What if they do not accept her? She knew Evan was the only son of the powerful Collins Group.
His family is so wealthy but never wants to be exposed in public. Their private lives never appear in the media. Even in her previous life, she only knew from business news that Evan Collins was the heir of the Collins group. Still, his picture that appears in the media is only an old picture. Only those who knew him closely would see that he was that person, the heirs of Collins Group.
"Lady Boss... we have arrived." Rose looked out the window. She was surprised because the car was parked right in front of the new stylish two-story building with a massive sign on top of the main entrance written in the gold font; King Game Center.
A faint smile frames Rose’s face. She immediately got out of the car and walked into the building. At the same time, Sam followed behind her.
"You finally come, young lady!" A playful voice could be heard. Rose looked in the voice direction and saw Oliver Hester, her best friend sitting on the sofa in the lobby corner. He looks so thin with his weird shoulder-length black hair.
She couldn’t help but smile happily at the man she hadn’t seen in a long time. Quickly she walked toward him and stopped just a few steps near him.
"Oliver! Why do you look so pale? I can’t even tell you apart from the wall behind you!?" Rose playfully teases him while stepping forward and makes a fist bump with him.
"Damn it! This is all because of you...." Oliver gestures to his best friend to sit.
"W-Why because of me?" Rose sat next to him while raising her brow. Confused.
"You always said you would visit me, but you never appear. Feeling betrayed, I just bury myself in this building waiting for you...."
Rose rolls her eyes. This man always talks nonsense. She took a glance across from where they were sitting. She saw that all the computer desks were full. There are about 50 computers on the floor. She feels proud looking at how successful her friend’s business is.
"How is your business? This place is quite successful... you fulfill your dream now, become a rich man, huh!?"
Oliver deeply exhales when he hears Rose’s words. How could she say he had succeeded when he had no time to play? Now, he only focused on taking care of his own game center. And until now, his dream of making King Game Centers open everywhere in the country seems gone.
He was already exhausted, only managing four branches, which made him have to postpone expanding his company. Still, now he is bored because his business is running in place. And he felt no longer challenged to continue this business.
Can he be considered a success? No. He felt that he had not succeeded. There was something empty in his heart.
Is he supposed to be rich? Yes. He has a lot of money. But having a lot of money can not buy the happiness he wants.
"Well, as you can see...." Oliver could only chuckle. Then, he remembered Dustin, their friend, Rose’s crush.
"Rose, congrats... you are finally free from him!"
"What do you mean?" Rose was confused.
"You finally awake. Dustin is not the right man for you...." Instantly Rose’s face turns frosty hearing that asshole’s name.
