Love After One-night Stand with CEO novel Chapter 88

Rosa saw the man's upset expression.

She bit her lip and took a step back.

He got up and strode towards her till she was pushed up against a wall with nowhere to go.

"Rosa!" He called her name between gritted teeth. "Your middle name should be 'mean'. You're so heartless!"

Rosa frowned and looked up at him unhappily.

"Why are you pouting? You think I'll stop talking if you pout? Although it's autumn soon, you should know how hot the end of summer is. I went to the supermarket to buy so many things for you in such a hot day. You didn't even give me a glass of water and now you're driving me away?"

As soon as the man finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the windowsill, looking lonely.

It was obvious that he was angry, extremely angry!

"I... I..."

Seeing this, she opened her mouth but did not know what to say.

His words flashed across her mind and remembered that he was a man of high status. He bought that kind of thing in the supermarket for her.

He must've been...

...put in a spotlight!

It must've been quite embarrassing for him that time...

For a moment, Rosa really felt guilty!

She really felt like a heartless and ungrateful person!

Suddenly, she lifted her head, which had been facing the ground, and looked at his back. She hesitated for a moment before saying carefully, "Then... then stay here tonight..."

The corners of the man's lips curved into a pretty smile.

But he already hid his smile when he turned around.

"Alright, you're not feeling well. Hurry and go to bed!"

"Oh!" Rosa's mind was blank.

Just like that, she followed the man's orders and entered the other bedroom.

She was still in a daze and even helped him lift his blanket.

Seeing her adorable and obedient actions, Henry couldn't help but smile.  

However, the smile only lasted for a second before it vanished.

It was because she went back to the master bedroom and brought over another blanket.

"One for each of us!"

The man's deep eyes darkened little by little.

"Good, Very good!

"Rosa was really good!" He thought.

"I'll sleep first. I have class tomorrow!"

The man's eyes were very gloomy.

She was a little scared, so she ran away quickly, regardless of the pain in her feet.

She got on the bed and covered herself with the blanket.

After a while, she didn't hear any sound.

Could it be...

"He's gone?" She thought.

Rosa was a little confused.

She carefully lifted the blanket and wanted to have a peek.

Only then did she realize that the man had taken off his shirt.

His body was perfectly sculpted. From his defined muscles to his flawless face.  

For the first time, she understood what Miranda meant by 'aesthetics'.

"What are you looking at?" He came over and looked at her as he chuckled.

Rosa was stunned. She realized that she had been staring blankly for a long time.

"Ah... I..." She was caught on the spot. She frowned and defended herself. "I... I was just thinking about something!"

When the man noticed her unusually red face, and immediately knew that she was lying.

But he didn't expose her. He got on the bed and threw the extra quilt on the ground.

Then, he grabbed her quilt and leaned closer to her.

Rosa was stunned and screamed in shock.

"What are you doing? This is my quilt..." She wanted to pull it back and wrap it around herself, but she couldn't pull it at all.

The man wrapped his arms around her waist and leaned closer to her. "The salesperson said that if a woman feels uncomfortable, she can use heat packs to make it feel better. Well, my hands are warm, it'll help you feel better!"

Rosa stopped moving, and her ears were so red that it was almost burning. 

He clung to her and could smell her unique and soft fragrance. He felt very comfortable.

"Just now when you... went to buy that... It must've been very embarrassing..." Rosa was silent for a while, but she still asked the question.

"Huh?" The man closed his eyes, looking a little tired.

"I'm sorry, that I put you... in the spotlight..."

Rosa felt that it was necessary to apologize for this matter.

"For You, I’m Willing to Do It!" The man curled his lips slightly and did not want to explain too much.

Just now in the supermarket, he wasn't embarrassed at all.

On the contrary, he was surrounded by countless women.

The women introduced all kinds of products to him.

They were all praising him. He was not only handsome but also gentle and considerate towards his girlfriend.

They kept praising him, entitling him as the best man in the entire world and so on.

He didn't care about that.

However, the word 'girlfriend'...

It was obvious that it was what he wanted to hear the most.

'For you, I’m willing to do it!'

These words shocked Rosa deeply.

She was in a trance for a long while.

And when she finally comprehended these words...

She found that the man behind her had already started breathing softly.

In the quiet environment, she could feel the warm breath from the man behind her.

She felt as if...

She was no longer so lonely!

———————

The next day, she followed her usual routine.

She went to the hospital to check on Cecil.

Then she went to school.

Miranda didn't come to school today.

She was a little worried.

On the way, she gave Miranda a call.

She learned that her grandmother had kept her at home and arranged a blind date for her.

Rosa was a little shocked.

"Her Grandma is really strict!" She thought.

However, it was not over yet.

Over there, she received a call from Grace asking to have dinner together after school.

They hadn't seen each other since the last time Grace came.

She was really worried about her.

However, she was more worried that the man would pick her up from school.

Subconsciously, she sent him a text message telling him that she would go with Grace after school.

After sending this message, she always felt that something was out of place.

Why was she doing this?

What was she trying to explain?

Before she could figure out what was going on, she received a text message.

'Don't be too late. Go back to the Silver Beach at night.'

After reading the text, Rosa immediately deleted the conversation.

After classes ended, she walked out of school.

She was a little confused.

"Where's Grace?"

Didn't she just say that she was outside?

"Rosa!" Suddenly, Grace opened the car door, walked out, and waved at her.

Next to the car was a fashionable girl wearing a hat, expensive sunglasses, and trending carmen red lipstick.

She was giving off a different presence.

Rosa frowned and limped over.

"Rosa, what happened? Did you injure your leg again?" Grace took off her sunglasses and looked at her, frowning as she asked.

Looking at the unfamiliar Grace, Rosa frowned and said, "You..."

"Huh? What's wrong?" Looking at her frowning and staring at herself, Grace chuckled and said, "How is it? Is it fashionable?"

Rosa didn't say anything and looked at her in this state.

She should be happy for her.

But somehow, she felt a little uneasy.

"What's wrong? I'm here to see you, and yet you're frowning!" Grace pretended to be upset.

"No, I just haven't seen you for a long time. I'm not used to seeing you like this."

"Oh, what are you not used to? Didn't I tell you earlier that I will live like this sooner or later?" With this, she opened the door and said, "Get in the car, I will take you for a ride!"

Rosa looked at the car. It was not a luxury car.

But the price was certainly not cheap, it should be at least 200,000 dollars.

"Is this your car?"

"Yeah, I knew I would own a car someday. The driving license I got this year is not wasted." Grace chuckled and urged her, "Get in the car quickly. I already booked the place!"

Rosa didn't say anything, but she still got in the car.

On the way, Grace drove very smoothly.

Obviously, she had been driving this car for a while.

"Grace, is your car worth at least 200,000 dollars?" she asked cautiously.

"Yes, this was the best configured model. It was a bit over 200,000 dollars." She said it casually as if she was buying groceries."

Rosa frowned. "Where did you get so much money?"

Grace paused and continued, "My boyfriend bought it for me!"

"Um... Grace, I know it's normal for a man and a woman to get along with each other. But don't you think this car is too expensive? It won't have a bad impact on your relationship in the future?"

"It doesn't matter. I'm his girlfriend. If he doesn't buy it for me, who will he buy it for?" Grace didn't take it seriously.

Rosa was unable to refute.

After thinking for a while, she said, "Has your grandma met him yet?"

Grace's face changed slightly. "Not yet!"

"Have you ever seen his parents? I think if you two get along well, you can meet each other's parents. I think he is so willing to spend money on you that he should love you very much!"

"There's no hurry. I just started dating. What's the rush for marriage?" Grace averted her gaze, obviously not at ease.

"Oh!"

In fact, she really wanted to ask about what she was wearing, her car, and everything she had.

It didn't feel like a normal boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.

Instead, she felt as if she was being kept as a mistress.

However, it seemed that Grace didn't want to mention it.

Perhaps she was overthinking it!

On the way, Rosa stopped asking.

Soon, the car arrived at the destination that she booked.

After getting out of the car, Grace held her arm and said with a smile, "The dishes in this restaurant are really delicious!"

Rosa smiled and said nothing.

After sitting down, the waiter approached them.

"Rosa, go ahead and order. I'll pay for it!" Grace was very happy.

"There's no need. You can order the food!"

"All right then!" Grace was about to order from the menu.

"Don't order too much. I can't eat that much. Don't waste it!" Rosa had a habit which was to not waste any food.

"Oh, no problem. I have the money!" Grace said, looking at the waiter.

Suddenly, the waiter seemed to have bent down more respectfully.

Seeing this, Grace smiled slightly.

"This, Yes, and the speciality dishes. Here, this, yes, one of each." Grace raised her eyebrows and spoke very arrogantly.

Looking at her dress and tone, the waiter thought she was a rich lady.

His service was even more respectful.

"Okay, Miss. Please wait for a moment!" The waiter bowed twice and then left.

"Did you see that?" Grace immediately stepped forward.

"What?"

"That waiter's attitude. Ha, this world only cares about money. If you have money, they will fawn over you. If you don't have money, they won't care about you, haha!" Grace sneered.

Rosa frowned because of her words.

From the beginning to the end, the waiters had never looked down on them.

So why did they think they were superior?
