Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose) novel Chapter 338

She might as well claim so. "Yeah. So what if I like him?"

Jay's indifferent expression shattered instantly into hideous pieces.

"Have I indulged you too much, Rose Loyle? Is that why you’ve become so unruly?" His hand quickly reached for the back of her head, tugging hard to leave a painful tinge on her scalp.

With Rose forced to tilt her head back, his lips domineeringly attacked forward.

Rose’s scalp was numb with pain as tears fell from her eyes.

Cold tears dripped onto the back of his hand like an ice shard into raging flames.

Slowly, Jay let her go. Staring back at the infuriation i n her eyes, the raging fire within him quelled as every chunk of ice seemed to rid his heart of its warmth.

"Get out," He turned and rebuked.

Rose fled.

At the shut of the door, worry bled uncontrollably into Jay's violent eyes.

Like a wild beast with its mouth wide open, the night

threatened to swallow everything in its wake before conceding.

On the pedestrian walk was a petite figure. It was aimlessly floating and swaying about as it walked bleakly with its arms wound tightly around itself.

A tall figure followed behind, not too far nor too close.

The figure accompanied her all the way to Bell Enterprises' Central Building. It stood soullessly on the same spot even as it watched her enter the building safely.

Central Building, the president's lounge.

Standing before the floor-to-ceiling windows, Sean stared with his arms crossed at the figure downstairs.

Mocking and sarcasm flared in his gaze. "Oh, Master Ares. Didn't you know the beauty of Helen caused the downfall of Troy?"

"Mr. Bell." Rose pushed open the doors.

"You were looking for me?"

Sean turned around to find Rose with reddened eyes." Did he bully you?"

Rose remained silent.
