Black Rose: Revenge Of The Callous Heiress novel Chapter 53

Mr. Hughes was taken aback by surprise when he heard Rose confirm it. However, he was more taken aback by the strange aura that surrounded her, she was acting way more than her age.

“Mr. Hughes, since Miss Rose had already confirmed it, please take her to where she would be taking the exam.” Headmistress Moore decided to speak up seeing that the atmosphere was about to get more intense than she planned.

She turned to look at Rose. “Mr. Hughes would be the one to be in charge of your exam, Miss Rose."

" I-I understand Headmistress Moore. Miss Rose, please follow me." Mr. Hughes said nothing else and gestured to Rose to follow him. Just as Rose stood up from her seat, the boy who had been quiet since Mr. Hughes entered the office, also stood up.

“Mr. Anderson, I don't think there is a need to follow them. I'm sure Mr. Hughes would take care of Miss Rose.” Headmistress Moore said when she saw him stand up as well.

“I would like to follow her. Like I said I brought her here so she is technically my responsibility." The boy coldly replied.

Rose frowned upon hearing him again. ‘What a lame excuse.’ she thought before glancing at him. “You don't have to follow me. You've brought me here already, so I can manage on my own. Don't let me disturb you-”

"I didn't say you were disturbing. And I told you earlier, when someone is doing a favor for you, you have to say thank you." The boy interrupted Rose who just narrowed her eyes at him. She said nothing and looked away from him before following Mr. Hughes out of the room.

Headmistress Moore couldn't help but frown as she watched Rose walk out of the room. ‘Is Beatrice aware that her step daughter seemed really close with Mr. Anderson?’ She thought, seeing how the boy was treating Rose like they knew each other.

Mr. Hughes led both Rose and the boy to a big classroom. He opened the door and beckoned Rose to enter. “This is the place you'd be taking your exam, Miss Rose." Mr. Hughes said.

Rose quickly scanned the entire empty classroom. It was only filled with tables and chairs and nothing more. Since she was the only one taking these exams, she didn't expect to see another student.

“I understand.” Rose said, nodding her head at Mr. Hughes.

"Please wait here, I will go and get the exam paper for you.” Mr. Hughes stared at Rose's calm face before walking out of the classroom leaving only Rose and the boy alone.

"Are you really sure you can handle this exam?” The boy suddenly asked Rose after Mr. Hughes left the room.
