" You have nothing to be sorry for. And I appreciate you thinking that I'm beautiful.” Rose finally stopped laughing and said to Nancy who blushed in embarrassment.
" I only told the truth and everyone who sees you thinks the same too.” Nancy retorted.
“Thank you and you're also beautiful, sister Nancy. I would love to be on my way now." Rose remarked as she stood up from the couch and made her way to the exit.
Nancy quickly jumped to her feet and called out to Rose who had almost reached the door. “Rose, wait. Let me escort you out."
Rose turned around and raised her hand to stop her. “There is no need for that. Though I appreciate the offer, you must have other things and tasks to complete, so I can take care of myself. Please give me a call tomorrow when the card is prepared.” Rose politely rejected her offer to walk her out of the room.
“I will." Nancy nodded her head.
“Oh well, see you tomorrow." Rose waved at her before opening the door and walked out of the room.
The moment she arrived at the lobby, Rose noticed the change of staff's attitude towards her. They would instantly bow respectfully anytime she walked past them and even those two who were sitting would stand up and do the same for her. However, she ignored them sometimes and finally made her way to the exit.
She entered the Uber car and told the driver to take her to a very good restaurant to eat, it was still late afternoon so she still had the chance to eat lunch.
A few minutes, the Uber driver announced that they've arrived at the destination. Rose nodded her head and looked out of the car window. As expected of a famous and reputable restaurant in the country, there were a lot of people dressed in fine and expensive clothes walking in and out of the restaurant.
Although she would have chosen to eat at a regular restaurant, she had no knowledge on where to find a regular restaurant to eat. She didn't venture much into social life in her past since she was always locked in the mansion and rarely made an appearance outside.
The driver might have misunderstood when asked him to take her to a ‘good’ restaurant. He thought she was telling him to bring her to an expensive place to eat.
“Is there a problem, Miss?" The driver suddenly asked as he glanced at Rose through the rearview mirror and saw her just staring out the window.
“Oh, it's nothing. It's just that this place looks a bit more expensive than the place I expected you to go to. I was expecting a regular restaurant." Rose looked at the driver's seat while pointing towards the restaurant.
