After dressing up, she snuck out of the house. She went to the special elevator leading to the penthouse and stood in front of it thinking if how she could get to the penthouse when she wasn't invited and she could not open the elevator without the entry card.

She sighed, it seems she was only thinking too. She scolded herself for imagining it was easy to talk to the richest person in the kingdom. From what she heard, he barely even stayed in the penthouse.

She scratched the back of her head when she realized she had been just too foolish all along. She had no plan and even with a plan it was impossible for her to get to the penthouse.

"Rose I'm sorry but there is nothing I can do," she murmured under her breath as she turned to leave when the elevator opened and she felt a presence behind her.

She turned to see a tall guy with neat brown curly hair dressed in a simple black suit. There were two other men behind him.

"Please excuse me," she called from a safe distance to show she meant no harm or she might get stopped by the security officers around.

Charlie paused easily recognizing the girl as one of Rose's friends. She was the girlfriend of one of Rose's friends to be more precise. He gave her a look that said it was okay for her to come over and nodded.

"I have something to say," she said looking around hoping her timing won't fail her. The last thing she wanted was to get caught talking to them. Her eyes fell on the teacher who seemed to have just walked into the building.

She froze and her eyes opened wide. This was not what she wanted. That man will definitely find it weird, right? She immediately bowed to the handsome man with the brown hair and ran off to the elevator that leads to the floor she stayed on.

Charlie found the whole encounter confusing but when he met the gaze of the man who Rose's sister was in a relationship with, he suddenly understood something. He wondered how someone could look so innocent and nice in a manner that no one should ever be.

He simply acted as though he brushed the thought off and kept walking.

The teacher turned his back and looked them with his eyes staring daggers at Charlie's leaving back. "You should all shine while you can," he murmured before looking at the elevator that was about to close with Noah in it.

He smiled when he met the girl's gaze but the girl immediately looked away perplexed. He could not remember offending the girl. He took quick large strides to the elevator and stopped it just before it could close.

"Good day," Noah said with a slight bow as she kept telling herself to remain calm and not get too obvious.

"Oh hi," the teacher said with a simple smile but it was still efficient at making her shiver, the elevator suddenly felt cold. "How is Anna?"

"She is fine," the girl replied as she visibly relaxed due to the simple question he asked. "She is still crying but she is fine."

"Just like you said, I believe Rose is fine. If she could walk out of the building, then she is fine," the teacher said in a gentle voice.

She nodded with a slight smile happy that someone understood her.

"Who were those men you were talking to?" the coldness in the teacher's voice when he asked her made her shocked and confused.

She met his gaze and he was so expressionlessly cold. Meeting her gaze, he gave her a smile that was supposed to make someone feel comfortable around him but it had her praying the elevator gets to its destination early.

"I was just greeting them. I don't know them but from what I saw, they seem to come from the penthouse. It won't hurt to be respectful to someone who is powerful, right?"

The teacher chuckled and nodded. "You are right, they are powerful," was all she heard him reply her as the other sentences that followed, she could not pick a word from them.

Soon the elevator opened and Noah hurried out like a bird set free. She was fed up of the suffocating feeling his presence gave her.

As soon as she got to her room, she ignored Wayne who kept asking her where she went to earlier as she packed her bag and wore her jacket.

She grabbed the plane ticket Wayne left on the table and pulled her suitcase out of the room and out of the apartment without saying goodbye to anyone.

"Hey, young lady. You seem to want to say something to me earlier," the man she met at the elevator earlier said sitting beside her on the bench.

"I think Rose was attacked," she said immediately.

"What makes you think so? But I guess it is true we saw it on the TV."

"The teacher, he makes Rose feel uncomfortable. Rose left for the restroom as soon as she met his gaze in the restaurant. He smiled at her. I think he sent someone to kill Rose," Noah said angry with herself for feeling so scared in the teacher's presence earlier.

"Be careful of what you say," Charlie warned coldly. "What do you have to prove what you just said?"

"Nothing. From the first time I met the teacher, I knew he was abnormal. You can find information on him. He is definitely not a nice person. Rose once said he acts like he doesn't like her. I saw it. It is obvious that he doesn't like Rose much," Noah narrated frustrated with the fact that Charlie did not believe her.

"What made you tell me this?" Charlie asked.

"I don't like the teacher either. I also feel threatened in his presence," Noah replied truthfully.

"That does not give you the right to condemn him as a murderer. Why did you tell us, you could have told the police."

"I saw him talk to the police yesterday and they seem to respect him and that was what made me come to you. He seems to be someone with connections. No one noticed it but I did. Please believe me."

"You could have told Rose's parents."

"No, Rose is not particularly close to her parents. I am telling you this because I saw you in the fashion show with Mr. Hale. I know Rose is in a relationship with Mr. Hale and he is the only one who can help her."

Charlie found himself surprised by the girl's observation skill. She seemed like someone who won't let a single detail escape her notice. This was just the perfect narration he wanted although he had to investigate carefully.

"Please can I ask you something?"

"Go ahead."

"Rose, how is she?"

Charlie narrowed his eyes immediately after the question was asked. This is girl was smart. "I don't understand."

"It is obvious Rose is safe for you to sit here talking to me. You have been busy for a while but you are not under much pressure like you should be when looking for your boss' girlfriend. So, how is Rose?"

"Be careful with what you say. If the teacher is as dangerous as I think he is, you will have to be very careful," Charlie advised as he stood up before walking away.

Noah moaned with her head bowed. "I said all I said to know how Rose was doing. She might have not survived it but I am glad she did," Noah murmured and shook her head when she remembered the pool of clotted blood that was found in the restroom.

"What are we going to do?" Valerie asked Justin as she sat down behind her work desk in her study while Justin sat opposite her with a cup of hot tea.

"I spoke to Mr. Hart but he does not have as much power here as he does in B city. His son would have been the best person I could ask for help but the Royal family won't be pleased to find out that I went to him for help."

"What about your cousin? Why don't you ask the king for help. Rose was obviously killed in the restroom before the fire. She might still be alive although that is almost impossible but we need to find her body no matter what," Valerie said angry at the calm countenance her husband wore as he sat before her drinking tea.

"She must have offended someone strong enough to do what they did in a restaurant in the middle of Star city. Do you have any idea how strong the security in Star city is? However someone could do that just to kill a young fashion designer?"

That made Valerie begin thinking towards that direction. What could be the reason? Who could Rose have offended? "I don't think she offended anyone. She was a sweet young girl," Valerie stood by Rose sincerely.

"You never know. If we get too involved in the girl's life, it might as we bring our whole family to ruin," Justin said coldly.

"What do you mean by that?!" Valerie asked angrily as she stood up from where she just sat.
