Chapter 91 - Unblock Him?
"Welcome Noah," Anna said hugging Wayne's girlfriend.
"Oh thank you," Noah replied with a bright smile before she hugged Rose and Debby.
"Hey, we are going to the spa do you want to come with us?" Debby asked hugging her arm.
"Uh? Sure but . . ." She glanced at Wayne and hesitated.
"Wayne will take care of himself. We are going for a fashion show at night and I want you to come with us," Anna told her as she hugged her other hand.
"If you think you are going to busy, you can refuse," Rose said trying to offer the girl a way out from the clutches of her sister and friend.. "If you want to rest since the journey must have been stressful, you can stay and rest."
"A spa is the best place to rest. You can get a massage. It will help you relax," Anna continued as she glared at her sister playfully.
"Sure," the girl agreed since it seems the girl did not give her a way out.
Rose sighed as she watched her sister and friend drag the obviously tired girl out of the house. She smiled at Wayne who appeared so downcast and gave him a friendly pat on his shoulder before going after them.
Rose froze at the entrance of the building as she saw Liam who was well guarded with six men at his back dressed in black suit. She frowned biting her lower lips as she turned away.
"Wow, he is hot," Debby said standing aside along with the many other people who did.
"He is," Noah agreed nodding. This was the first time she was seeing him.
Liam glanced at Rose who turned her face away from him where she stood aside with some other people. His could not prevent his feet from pausing. She was clearly ignoring him. She did not meet his gaze at all unlike the other times they met.
She always had a fearless look around him although he could sense that she respected him and feared him to an extent but this time, she looked away. He wondered what he did so wrong to earn that from her and it pained him.
"Boss," Gray whispered to Liam when he noticed his boss was not moving forward and kept his gaze on Rose.
Without answering or looking at Gray, Liam took his gaze away from Rose and kept walking. He felt lucky that Gray stopped him or he would have gone to her to talk to her. He would have asked her there for the answers he could not sleep thinking about.
"What do you think she wants?" Liam asked Gray when they entered the elevator.
"I don't know boss," Gray replied sincerely. He never dated, he did not even live with his mother to know what women wanted or to even know anything about women.
Liam sighed frowning. "Ask Charlie to come when he is done," Liam told Gray before walking out of the elevator.
She was angry with him, he knew it but that was not as important as finding out the reason why she was angry with him. She shouldn't be this angry only because he told her to stay away from Star city, right?
He had played the conversation they had over and over again on his mind but he could not get to a conclusion.
***
Rose could not help thinking about how handsome he looked in the black suit he wore. It made him look so powerful as well as scary, it made her heart race.
She really felt a strong urge to unblock him and reply his messages but she held herself back determined to remain cold and distant from him till she gets an apology.
At this point she was slowly forgetting why she needed the apology but she kept it locked up in her mind to stop her every time she glanced at her phone with that urge.
"If Wayne ever makes you angry and you need an apology will you block him?" she had to ask Noah who sat beside her.
"Uh?" Noah asked shocked by the sudden question.
"You like Wayne a lot, don't you?"
"Hmm, I do," Noah replied nodding with her brow now furrowed as she wondered why Rose was asking her such a question.
"Will you let Wayne control your life?" she asked.
"No, but it depends on what he is trying to make me do," Noah replied sincerely despite her confusion.
"Ok, but what if he warns you to stay away from Star city?" Rose asked seriously.
Seeing the serious expression on Rose face, Noah relaxed a little since she knew Rose was not trying to tease her or bully her. She could only guess the girl needed some relationship advise.
"Will you get angry?" Rose asked when Noah did not answer her earlier asked question immediately.
"It depends too. He has to give me a reason. If he can't give me a reason and insists that I stay away, then I will get angry."
"When you get angry, will you block his number?" Rose asked anticipating Noah's answer. Perhaps she needed a reason to unblock his number.
"Yes, until he comes to me himself," Noah suddenly answered making her almost groan in frustration. Now, there was no lie she could tell her very prideful self to make her unblock his number.
"Oh but . . ."
"I might unblock his number if he comes to me with a flower. I love flowers and he might make me forgive him with a bouquet of flowers," Noah replied with a smile.
"Oh really?"
"Yes, but it also depends on the type of relationship and the personality of the girl. If the girl wants to have his full attention she should not unblock him and that is especially if she needs an answer. If she wants to know the reason why he told her that," Noah explained.
"Oh . . . I guess Wayne has a lot of work to do to please you. I hope he never makes you angry," Rose said when she realized she had been to obvious about her feelings.
"Uh?" Noah asked returning to her earlier state of confusion. It looks like she guessed wrong, Rose did not seem to be asking for a relationship advise with the last remark she made.
"What are you two talking about?" Anna asked walking back to her sister when she noticed the Rose had been walking with Noah ever since they got to the spa.
"About how much she likes Wayne," Rose replied smiling as she took her sister's hand while Debby went to hug Noah's arm.
"So how much do you love Wayne?" Debby had to ask curiously.
"Very much," Noah replied.
"Is that why you stole our friend?" Debby asked with a pout.
"I did not steal him," Noah replied with a nervous smile. Wayne said his ex-girlfriend left because he spent most of his time with his friends. The time she spent with Wayne was enough for her.
"Relax. Our friend's girlfriend is our friend, okay? Wayne is like an elder brother to us. We will never be a problem in your relationship. Wayne loves you and because he does, we like you too. We could be friends and hang together just like this," Debby explained in a very friendly manner.
"Oh ok," Noah said unsure of what to say next after Debby's long speech.
"We brought you here to punish Wayne for not coming with us yesterday. We don't have anything against you," Debby tried to persuade her since it seems the girl was skeptical about her motive.
"Ok."
"Sorry about dragging you here. If you find it uncomfortable, I can ask the chauffeur to take you back to the apartment," Debby apologized.
"No, I'm okay."
