Rosemary was eating with her head down. When The Old Mrs. Grant asked her, she looked up and said, “I will, Grandma.”
Darren Grant finished his meal, wiped his mouth, looked at Rosemary and said, “Rosemary, tomorrow is your day back, so I’ll have the housekeeper prepare the gift, and have Chad drive you there.”
“I’m full. Mom. Take your time.” Darren Grant wiped his mouth, stood up and headed to his study.
Rosemary suddenly stood up and shouted nervously, “Dad, I’ll just have the driver take me home tomorrow. Chad has to go to work too, it needn’t be so much trouble.”
Darren Grant stopped and looked back at Chad Grant at the table, then looked at Rosemary and said, “Whatever.”
“Thank you, dad.”
Rosemary sat back down at the table and saw Chad Grant eating as if he hadn’t heard anything.
The Old Mrs. Grant saw that she was not eating and urged her, “Rosemary, eat.”
Rosemary smiled at her, then looked down and continued eating.
The next morning.
“Dad…”
Rosemary got out of the car and saw Andrew Harris waiting in the doorway. She threw herself coquetry into Andrew Harris’s arms with tears in her eyes.
“I’m so glad to see you back. Let’s go inside.” Rosemary took Andrew Harris’s hand in hers and walked happily inside.
“Rosemary, hi!” Rosemary’s smile froze. Why was John Sawyer here?
Andrew Harris did not know that Rosemary had dated John Sawyer. He said quietly, “Daisy and John are going to be engaged. I will let you know when the date is set.”
Rosemary adjusted herself, gave John Sawyer a faint nod, and there was nothing wrong with her expression. “Congratulations and good luck.”
Rosemary was so angry and she stomped on Chad Grant’s foot. “Ouch!”
Chad Grant let go of Rosemary in pain. The smile on his face became ambiguous.
“Rosemary, I really like you.”
Rosemary was about to cry. “Chad Grant, what are you trying to do?” she said.
“What do I want? Didn’t you just see that?” Chad Grant said with a cheery grin.
There was a bang and a maid ran out in panic.
Rosemary’s face turned black with fear. If it got out, she would never be able to explain it.
She was terrified. And Chad Grant comforted Rosemary by saying, “As long as you would listen to me, I promise it’ll be fine.”
