The street lights outside shone into the car and lit the dark corner. The spacious car was silent. Rosiley lowered her head and immersed herself in her thoughts.
Instead of disturbing her, Bertram watched her quietly. Knowing that she could not see him, he didn't hide the intense emotions in his eyes at all.
Even though the light was dim, he could still see her beautiful face.
He was reluctant to move his gaze away. He even hoped that time would stop at this moment.
This way, he could keep staring at her, and she was by his side.
If the blind date picked by Sachin father came to Benin City, Rosiley and Sachin might not have a peaceful time in the coming future.
Rosiley scratched her hair irritably. Suddenly, her hand stopped, and she furrowed. Was that why Charles had come to Sachin?
In other words, Sachin knew about it, but he didn't tell her.
Was he afraid that she would think too much and worry about it?
Rosiley bit her lip and slowly put her hand down.
Judging from Sachin's personality, he should be hiding it from her because he didn't want her to worry.
However...
She took a deep breath. Now that the date was here already, it wouldn't help if she was overthinking. She believed that
Sachin would solve the problem.
Let it be.
She turned around and wanted to say thank you to Bertram for telling her, only to run into his affectionate black eyes.
Stunned for a short moment, she looked away and said with a smile, "Bertram, thank you for telling me this.”
Judging from her reaction, she did not show the slightest bit of helplessness or sadness because of the date.
Disappointment quickly flashed through Bertram's eyes. He formed a faint smile. "No problem. I just feel that you need to
know this. Because..."
He paused for a moment and watched her black eyes affectionately. "I don't want you to get hurt at all."
Rosiley felt very sorry when she recalled his confession in the hospital and what he just said.
He had made his feelings so clearly, but there was nothing she could do.
She could only—
"Thank you, Bertram."
The simple words were enough to explain everything.
Bertram chuckled and hid the bitterness in his eyes. He reached out and gently stroked her head. "We don't have to be so
polite to each other. I don't like it,’ he said softly.
"You don't like it?" Rosiley turned to look at him, her eyebrows up and her eyes brighter in the dim car.
He nodded seriously, "No, I don't like it.”
He did not like her courtesy, for it was too strange between them.
Rosiley raised her eyebrows playfully, "So I'll be cheeky and won't say thanks to you anymore."
Bertram smiled warmly, "I will like the cheeky version of you."
With that, he gently touched her head while his eyes were occupied by affection. She smiled and tilted her head as she looked at him.
To Bertram, everything looked so perfect now. He wished that time would stop here.
But it was only his wild wish. In the end, they would separate.
Rosiley received a phone call from Raye and was told that the press release had been finished and that she needed to come to check it.
This was a big deal. After her confirmation, the news would be released directly.
So there was no time to delay.
"Bertram, we'll talk again sometime’
