Black Rose: Revenge Of The Callous Heiress novel Chapter 27

Rose frowned when she heard Cara’s words. What does she mean flat? Yes, she might be young but she definitely isn't flat Cara had made it sound. She just isn't curvy yet just because she is still young.

Feeling a gaze on her, Rose raised her head up and saw Alex staring at her. ‘Did he think I'm flat as well?’ Annoyed, she pouted, glared at him.

"Move away from me. If you're also having the same thoughts as that woman." It somehow only came out as a whisper and was only audible to Alex.

Alex reacted swiftly, let go of Roseline and stepped away with a deep frown on his face. Not expecting him to let go of her like that, Rose lost balance and was about to have a heavy fall. She closed her eyes, acceptingly, though more helplessly.

‘What bad luck. Now everyone is going to watch me fall. How embarrassing!’

However, she did fall, but into Alex’s arms as he caught her again quickly. "Behave yourself, Roseline Gray and stop being jealous." Alex's cold, deep voice sounded next to Rose's ear. He sounded a bit irritated at the way she was being rebellious to him.

Rose opened her eyes to see a charming-looking face right in front of her. His enchanting scent of cologne bewitched her, and they lingered. Without realizing it her cheeks reddened.

Alex, who was staring at Rose, saw how her cheek turned red and he raised a brow at it. Unconsciously, he reached out and stroked her face with his long slim fingers.

“Your cheek is red?” Alex remarked, completely clueless as to why it was red. He actually thought that something was wrong with Rose.

Hearing Alex, Rose raised her hand and touched her cheeks as well. ‘What a clueless idiot. It's called blushing?’

‘Besides, why would I be jealous? Nonsense. I don't even know you. How irritating and rude can a man be!’ Rose was so mad at him as thought. But the word ‘rude’ came to her head and she finally remembered where she had seen Alex. ‘He is that man that I met at the airport. The one that caused me to lose my wallet as well.’

It took her awhile to realize that she was still lying in his arms with everyone watching. She frowned and pushed him to imply that he should let go of her, but Alex made no response.

It truly pissed Roseline off. ‘What's this supposed to mean? If he wants attention, then why the hell is he getting me involved in this?’ Rose wanted to tell Alex to let go of her again. However, thinking that her step-mother and Sophia had been watching her, a wicked smile graced her lip as she composed herself and said as calmly as she could, "Please let go of me."

Alex frowned again seeing how she had quickly changed her tone of speaking. ‘Well played, girl. You must have been on a roller coaster emotionally. Not bad at disguising your anger at all. You can definitely push yourself. Hmm. Intriguing.’ He thought.

Their intimacy exchanged, though Rose was left with no other choice to give in to Alex, aroused great jealousy amongst the spectators.

Cara was mortified, but she dared not utter anything disrespectful to Alex again, since she had already disrespected him earlier. Instead, she turned her attention to Rose and targeted her, "Roseline Gray. I shall kindly remind you. Don't get fooled and lost in the fantasy thought just because Mr. King picked you as his girlfriend. It's just a matter of a few minutes because I challenged him.”
