3 Rose Future Plan

Two hours of business talk felt too short. Moreover, all the keynote speakers are influential figures in this country, Astington. Hearing them share their success story amazed her, though she has often read about them in magazines. She also knows two people on the stage will become influential business owners in the future.

Many plans have filled Rose's brain now. She will build her own empire in this country and live happily with her mother. She has memories of what happened 10 years in the future, which are still vivid in her mind. Now, she can grow her business by using this cheat. She will be mapping her business and becoming an independent woman.

Seeing the talk show participants have started to leave the auditorium, Rose remained in her seat while looking at her cell phone. She read a new message from Dustin. He told her he passed the audition to the next round. He asks to meet to celebrate his success.

Rose felt like she wanted to block his number, but again she held herself. She couldn't just cut ties with Dustin. Everyone will be confused if she does that. Because people around her knew they were very close, even though Dustin had never asked her to date. So far, she was the only one who seemed to be chasing Dustin too much.

She turns off her cellphone while smiling and remembers Dustin will fail in the next round. Meanwhile, she made it through to the final round and stopped in the big 5 round. Her career as a singer started to move after participating in a singing competition. Still, she gave up her career because she was pregnant after being married to Dustin.

And suddenly she remembers her mother, her heart tightening. She felt like she wanted to go home immediately, to see her. She will take her mother to the hospital and check on her condition. This time she would not let her mother die.

"Rose…" Suddenly Rose could hear a man's voice ringing in her ear. When she lifted her head, she saw Evan already standing before her.

"What are you thinking? You look so serious that you don't even notice I'm standing here?" He smiled and sat beside Rose.

"Nothing…" Rose sat straight and took her backpack under the chair. "Evan… you looked so stunning on the stage earlier. Your aura as a great businessman is already radiating from how you talk among business experts and high-profile entrepreneurs." Rose raises her two thumbs as she praises him sincerely.

"Really?" Evan's eyes delight when he hears Rose praise him. He couldn't help but smile widely while rubbing his nape.

"Yup! Evan, you know what? Now you open my eyes and mind… I wanted to follow in your footsteps. I will build my own business and make it bigger like what you do…." Rose's eyes are beaming when she remembers her business plan. She knows what companies and businesses will be trending 10 years from now.

"Wow! That's great, Rose! I will support you. Tell me if you need anything…." Evan felt astonished seeing the expression on Rose's face, which looked different from usual.

This was the first time he saw her talking about her business plan. He knew Rose was brilliant, but she had seemed unconcerned about the business world in the past two years. She hangs out more with Dustin, making her often refuse to attend business seminars. She is more interested in pursuing her music, just like Dustin does.

"Hahaha, I will trouble you later, Mr. Evan Collins… don't ever avoid me if I'm going to bother you with all kinds of questions." Rose threw a joke at Evan, and his laughter immediately boomed, making some of the staff who were tidying the stage look at them.

Rose hid her face while signaling Evan not to laugh too loudly.

She feels embarrassed.

"I will not, Miss Rose Wilson…." Evan smiled widely. Indeed he will support the girl he likes. As long as he can be close to her, he will do that.

Rose feels happy to chat with Evan like now. Because her mind was focused on Evan, it made her realize many things she hadn't seen before. This handsome man beside her is gorgeous and, more importantly, feels sincerely caring for her. And he also smells good.

"Gosh! Where have you been, Rose?" She scolds herself in her mind.

Rose wanted to slap her face because she only saw Dustin, who looked good in her eyes, but he was so wrong behind her.

"Should we go out now?" Rose stood up from her chair after a few lights had started to turn off. She also wanted to hide her emotion because she remembered Dustin's betrayer. She didn't want to spoil the happy atmosphere with Evan right now.

"Let's go! Tonight I will take you to dinner at a restaurant. You can, right?" Evan stole glances at Rose beside him as they walked towards the entrance. Today, he tried again to take Rose out to dinner. Usually, this girl always refuses for various reasons, just like the invitation to attend the talk show this afternoon.

He did not expect Rose would attend. He thought Rose would reject him like she always did.

They both walk to the parking lot near the building. When they approach Evan's car, Rose feels strange when she sees Evan open the car door for her. Although this is not the first time, she feels this time the feeling is different.

"Where are we going, Evan?" Rose glances at Evan, who is driving the car seriously. His eyes focus on looking ahead, but later he glances at her and their eyes meet. His blue ocean eyes made her heart slightly waver.

"We will have dinner at a special place…." He turns to look at the street after he smiles mysteriously at Rose. Not hearing Rose's reaction, he glanced again before continuing his words. "Are you hungry right, Rose?"

"Hmm… I feel hungry. But, Evan…" Rose paused, looking at her clothes. She only wears her blue jeans, white shirt, and white sneakers. It felt like their appearance was really different when Evan wore his full suit. He looks so dignified while her?

She felt a little insecure about her carefree appearance. And this feeling was the first time she had ever felt in her two lifetimes. Never once had she felt this way. And, she could guess, Evan would definitely take her to dinner in a nice place.

"But what?" Evan is feeling nervous. Worried Rose would be scared because he would take her out to a fancy restaurant and cancel tonight's plans. She always cancels their plans on the way and takes her home instead.

"Look at my outfit? It feels like our appearances are too different, Evan. Can we eat at a regular restaurant? Not the fancy one…."

Evan was relieved because Rose didn't cancel their dinner plans this time.

"Don't worry, Rose. We will eat in a private room. Nobody could see us. After all, for me, it doesn't matter what clothes you wear… you look beautiful as always!" He silently smiles while focusing on looking at the road ahead. Rose blushed, hearing Evan's flattery words. She turns her gaze outside the car to hide her smile.

Soon Evan's car entered the entertainment street. This street has many hotels and restaurants. He parked his car right in front of a very fancy Italian restaurant. Meanwhile, Rose was stunned when she saw the place.

In the past, Evan brought her to this place. That night he asked her to be his girlfriend. Unfortunately, she was so blinded by the asshole Dustin that she rejected Even right away.

Since then, they have become distant. Not long after, Evan finished his studies and returned to the capital, Fort City, his hometown.

Will Evan ask her again tonight?

Instantly Rose felt her heart starting to beat faster than usual. Her hand felt cold. She was utterly nervous.
