Chapter Seventeen: Jin-Rae only strode forward, giving a protective stance on Rose.

Later that evening, Rose only wore the simplest gown she could find. A simple off-shoulder, white silk dress that clung to her curves delicately. She wore four inched beige stilettos to match.

Rose put her curls up into a delicate bun and let some loose curls fall freely to her face. The only thing that she put on her face was a red-tinted lip stain.

Her cellphone rang from her purse, she took her phone out delicately and answered. "Hello?"

"I'm outside."

"Okay, I'm coming down."

Rose looked once more on her vanity mirror and then moved towards the door. She turned the knob, but her purse got caught from one of the hooks, making the contents spread the floor.

"Ugh!" Rose frowned and started to lean but she was stopped when a dark-haired man picked them first. The man was wearing a black three-piece suit, his black hair was styled in a way that suited him without any trace of styling gel. His blue eyes contrasted with his look that you would feel thrown in the ocean. For a moment, Rose felt her tongue go numb and her brain flew someplace else. She could not figure out who this man was not until Jin-Rae touched her and gave her the contents of her bag.

"Oh my god!" She blurted out.

Jin-Rae only chuckled and took her palms to his. "Let's go." Rose looked at him in shock, her eyes never leaving his gorgeous face. He looked handsome before, but the way his hair looked now made him look ten folds more. Rose couldn't keep her eyes from leaving his face.

"Is it too much?" he asked, meeting Rose's eyes.

"No! it's just that you look good!" Rose blurted, then she gasped with her words and covered her mouth with her hand.

Jin-Rae laughed, his laughter filled the walls of her tiny apartment. Rose joined in, seeing him genuinely happy made her heart almost burst in tears. This is the first time she's heard him laugh in a long time. The sound of his laughter was really pleased to hear.

"Come on. we'll be late for the event." jin-Rae offered his arm to Rose which she gladly put her hand to.

"What is the event anyway? and where?"

"It's just a Charity event, MS group is invited."

"Okay."

Jin-Rae opened the passenger door of his Black limited edition Rolls Royce and helped Rose slide in and noticed the slit on her gown.

"Always stay close to me when we come to the venue."

Rose only nodded and fastened her seat belt.

Jin-Rae drove unhurriedly to the venue, he gave the key to the valet before he could open the passenger door. Rose took Jin-Rae's hand and carefully slid out of the car.

Both of them almost went blind from all the flashing lights that welcomed them.

"Mr. Mo, who is your date?"

"What is her name?"

"President Mo, are you and the heiress from the Ling family over?"

Jin-Rae only strode forward, giving a protective stance on Rose. Bodyguards from the event went out to control the crowd and escort them inside.

Once inside, Jin-Rae checked on Rose and noticed some of her hair are out of place. Blocking her beauty. Jin-Rae lifted his hand and moved some of the hair and pinned an intricately designed pearl hair clip.

"what was that?" Rose asked, touching the pearl.

"To complete the look." The press outside caught the affection Jin-Rae made to Rose, and all of those were caught with their expensive cameras.
