11 11 - Ecstacy

E/N: I wanted to tell y'all this but, since I know nothing about China's geography, this story is taking place in some random country but don't worry, the name of cities won't affect the story for you.

***********************************************

After their dinner and a stroll, Rowan dropped Laura at her home and left.

Laura reached her home by 11 o'clock at night.

Usually, her routine is very regular and punctual.

She would work and then go back home, she rarely got later than 9 o'clock. Even after she got back, she would have to deal with some problems at work.

Since she was a woman with ambition, she was not interested in parties like other rich kids.

For the first time in her life, these two nights, she went out to spend time with someone.

'Not only do I not feel tired, but I enjoyed it.'

The relationship between the two quickly stepped up.

'I can call him a friend, but he is a little bit more than a friend to me, but he is not my boyfriend but I think he can be my boyfriend because he is more than a friend to me.'

'WAIT! Am I falling in love?' Laura blushed and felt less and less like herself. She had never felt like this for a man before. 

Once Laura had freshened up, she settled onto her bed and grabbed her phone, noticing several texts waiting for her.

Sara: Babe, I'm coming back to see you.

Sara: Strange, why haven't you replied yet? You're home by now usually.

Sara: Are you busy with work again today?

Sara: How busy are you at the hospital?

Sara: It's 11 at night, reply now, you're making me scared.

...

Sara was a very good friend of hers. The two met in elementary school and stayed together till university. They have known each other for more than ten years, so they had a very good friendship.

Both of them talked about almost everything, every day.

Laura replied right after she noticed Sara's text.

Laura: Yes, yes, I'm here, don't worry.

Sara too, answered immediately.

Sara: I almost thought you were kidnapped! What have you been doing for the past two days? Why are you replying so late?

Laura: I was with a friend.

Sara: With a friend? Besides me, which friend do you have huh? Moreover, you were with them at night...

Sara: Tell me honestly, were you with your lover? Good for you Laura, you are cheating on me with a man behind my back. Do I still have any place in your heart? 

Laura: What nonsense? If you don't stop talking like this, I'll block you.

Sara: Well, as long as you tell me who that man is, I won't talk like this hehe.

Laura: …

Sara: I care about you. You are an adult already but have never been in a relationship. You have too little experience. What if you are deceived by some trash? You are someone who has a lot to lose.

Laura: As if you've dated someone.

Sara: Y u hurts me?

Sara: Although I have never been in a relationship, I have read hundreds of romance novels, and I have read countless people's experiences online. My eyes are like a trash identification machine and I'll help you.

Sara: Come on, tell me, who is my brother-in-law?

Laura: Well, let me tell you, his name is Rowan and he is 20 years old. BUT we've only known each other for two days. We're only friends.

Sara: Rowan? Are you telling me that your interest is in the trashiest person possible, the young master of the Mills Group who spends all his time drinking and clubbing?

Laura: Yes, it's him but he is not like that...

Sara: Laura, you've lost your mind. How can you fall in love with a playboy? He is a real trash, a big red flag!

Laura: He is not as bad as the rumours about him. He may be a bit fussy, but he is actually a responsible, considerate and gentle man. I am very happy whenever I am with him. I think he is the one I have been waiting for all my life.

Sara: Laura, you've really fallen in love!

Sara: He is considerate and gentle to you, but that's just a mask. He must have done this to every woman he has had in his bed. After you also get to his bed, he'll leave you.

Sara: We women must protect ourselves from men like this.

Sara: I advise you to break up with him quickly, or it won't be good.

However, regardless of what her best friend said, Laura always believed in herself and her own decisions.

Laura: I'll decide about that myself. It's getting late, I'm going to sleep, good night.

-At a luxurious penthouse on the other corner of the world-

A stunningly beautiful woman lay on a bed and said indignantly, "It's concerning how quickly she's become attached to him. No matter how much I try to talk to her, she won't listen. What's so appealing about him anyway? Someone who parties all night and constantly sleeps around. He's even impacting our friendship. I need to go back and help Laura!"

With that said, she immediately packed up two bags and prepared to go back home.

At this time, she found an invitation letter that was full of dust on the floor and her eyes flickered.

-Two days went by without any issues-

During these two days, Rowan visited Linden every day.

He was, without any doubt, ecstatic to see him still lying in bed.

After visiting Linden, Rowan would go to the Crown's Hospital to pick up Laura, have dinner with her, have a stroll, go shopping with her late at night, or something else.

Both of them enjoyed it, and their relationship got much better.

But on the third day, the Mills family butler suddenly appeared in front of Rowan with a girl.

"Young master, the master has said that you are not a kid anymore. It is time for you to start managing the group. This is the new secretary he has hired for you. She has a master's degree in management from an Ivy League University and has worked in a well-known investment company on Wall Street for two years. She is very capable. You can ask her anything you want to."
