Chapter Ten
forty minutes later they arrived at their destination which was the university zoo
Lucy driver/bodyguard opened the door for them and bowed respectfully
" Raman you can wait in the car, " Lucy told him
" Alright mam " he replied
Rose studied her surroundings she then realized that Lucy brought them to the zoo she smiled faintly as she thought
" no one could understand me better than Lucy I guess "
Lucy who was staring at Rose caught sight of the faint smile on Rose's face before it disappeared
she smiled remembering those days when Rose was sad about a thing or two and they would both go to the zoo to cheer her up
today while she was thinking of ways to cheer Rose up she suddenly remembered their " age-old tradition " she didn't think it would work but seeing Rose smiling she realized that it worked after all
sighing she tapped Rose on the shoulder and whispered to her
" let's go in ''
Rose nodded and they went in
after getting their pass they went to the animal's section
while they were in the aviary section where you feed the birds that drink nectar
they saw a girl who had a fake flower on her hair suddenly a bird flew into her hair and pulled out the stamen, and it got mad when it was fake and threw it on the floor
the people around busted out laughing Lucy who was finding it hard to hold her laughter stared at Rose and was shocked to find the latter giggling
" The plan worked better than I expected, " she thought
after they finished their tour in the aviary section they headed to the tigers
and there they witnessed a funnier drama
someone dropped a child's shoe in the exhibit and the baby tigers were having so much fun with it.
they would throw it and drop it and run around
the zookeepers tried to get them to put it down and come inside so they could take it, but to no avail, as the tigers were having too much fun to listen
this time Lucy and Rose busted out laughing while holding their stomachs
after which Lucy took some pictures and videos and sent them to Adam
thinking about Adam she already missed him like mad Even though she saw him about seven hours ago she's feeling like a lovesick puppy she wanted to call him but decided against it
" Rose just broke up and I can't go ahead flaunting my perfect relationship that will be cruel right," she thought
they stayed in the zoo whilst touring for about two hours more before they decided that it was time to have lunch
they went to the nearby restaurant to have some snacks
by then Rose who had forgotten her sadness was grinning like a child
Lucy was pleased to see her friend like this
" so Rose when are you going back to your modeling duty, " Lucy asked
" Monday I guess you see I was thinking of starting fashion designing and opening a boutique " she replied
" wow that's awesome but we can partner together you know right ???? " Lucy suggested
" yeah I was thinking of the same too," Rose said
" so it's sealed then I will start the preparations, " Lucy said
while they were still discussing Rose's phone rang glancing at the caller's ID she frowned seeing it was her manager
" Hey Ellie " she greeted after answering
" Hey Rose how are you doing, " Ellie asked
" am gud why did you call " Rose asked
"I got a job for you," she said
" no no no why now " Rose pouted
" Stop being so lazy this will also boost your fame " Ellie convinced
" yeah I know but I am busy now" Rose replied
" hmmm that's why I called you earlier the shoot will be done on Wednesday so be ready," Ellie said and hung up before Rose could respond
Lucy who heard their whole conversation decided to tease Rose a little
" Rosie babe why are you angry after all you still have a week left to prepare you should be thankful that Ellie told you earlier unless...
" earlier my foot why didn't she tell me a week ago why now " Rose snapped
" don't blame her Rose it's not her fault for the short notice '' Lucy convinced
" whatever " Rose replied not prolonging the conversation
after they finished their meal they paid their Bills and left the restaurant.
