With uncontrollable pain on her face, Rosie said, "I know what you mean, but I just can't control myself. I seem to be crazy."
In fact, I also knew that love cannot be solved simply by my explanation. For example, my missing for Rogelio wouldn't stop, I knew that it is impossible.
"Is there anything I can do for you?"
Rosie shook her head. "I want to anaesthetize myself now. I want to drink."
"But I don't have wine here. Please don't solve your problem by drinking wine. Let's think about it, and we'll find a way. "
Raising her head, Rosie looked at me. I had never seen such helplessness and sadness in her eyes.
"Drink with me. There's no wine here, but nightclubs have."
"Stop drinking!"
"Don't try to persuade me. Just tell me if you want to accompany me or not."
I looked at Rosie helplessly. I really didn't want her to choose this way, but when I hesitated for a moment, Rosie stood up unhappily. "If you don't want to be with me, that's fine. I'll go by myself."
I was worried that she would be unconscious again, just like what she drank the other day. It might be dangerous. So I stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go, I'll go, okay?"
Rosie smiled with satisfaction. "I knew you would be with me."
But the smile on her face last for only a second, the expression returned to before.
"Wait a minute. I'm going to change my clothes."
I went upstairs to change my clothes. Then I greeted Xenia and told her that I would go out with Rosie. Maybe she would go to a nightclub or a bar.
Xenia dragged me, "Why did you go to that kind of place with her? It's okay that you go to the hospital in normal times. But you have no idea what's going on with you now. It's okay that no one recognize you. If some reporters see you, they may say something terrible."
"But Rosie seldom asks me to do anything. I can't let her go out alone at this time. I promise I won't drink, and I just go and watch her."
Looking at me, Xenia frowned and kept holding my arm, "No, I'm worried about you."
Xenia hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Don't be so reckless. I'll make up for you. Try to hide your identity."
I didn't refuse Xenia's arrangement. Although I don't care what others think of me, I don't want to hear any gossip.
I let her do my make-up and pick my clothes obediently.
But when I looked into the mirror, I was really speechless.
In fact, when I looked at myself in the mirror, I couldn't even recognize myself. I wore heavy smoky makeup, long fake eyelashes, dark red lipstick, black T-shirt and leather vest. Apart from that, I had tied a ponytail. I seemed to be the second Xenia.
I became Tang Xenia's work in her eyes. When she finished it, she exclaimed, "It's perfect."
I was not used to it, but Xenia had taken a lot of time to do these. So, Rosie started to urge us downstairs impatiently.
Xenia pouted and murmured, "What's the rush? Look down on me as she have a good family background. I still think you and Robbie are suitable. So what? Am I standing in her way? "
"Rosie is a nice person. Don't speak ill of her. There are something you don't know, she has her reasons."
"Nonsense!"
After making sure that I was ready, Xenia continued, "Okay. Send me your location. I will pick you up. Call me before you come back. I will drive the car. She can't drive as she drank some wine."
I nodded, "Okay, I see."
Xenia patted on my shoulder and said, "Okay, you can drink it if you want. Just relax yourself. I guess you haven't adapted to the report in these two days."
When I went downstairs, Rosie was pacing up and down the stairs impatiently. She was stunned for a while when she saw me, and then realized it was me.
