Chapter 26 - Slap on face, Blow on ego!
Rose cursed herself for taking an initiative to greet Rhehan and join him for breakfast.. She was walking back to the penthouse grumbing under her breath.
"Why did I even say h.e.l.lo to him? Did he think i am a stupid girl who will sleep with him? Who does he think he is? That pevert! I was just trying to be nice to him and he took advantage of it!"
Rose entered the living room and kicked away her slippers with great force. One of them landed on her brother who was sitting sleepily on the couch.
"Hey! Are you an idiot?" Complained James, throwing the slipper back at her.
Rose easily evaded his attack and the footwear ended up hitting an antique vase, one of their mother"s priced possessions.
The two siblings gaped panic-struck as the vase hit the floor and broke in numerous tiny pieces, creating a loud thud.
"What did you two break now?" Came a shreiking voice from another room. As soon as the two heard their mother approaching they quickly fled the scene of the crime in their respective rooms , locking themselves up.
Cafe Island
Rhehan was lying on the ground and was stupified when Rose"s slippers had touched him. He could not believe he gave somebody that much power to insult him. By that time the entire staff had come to help him get up.
"Boss, are you fine?"
"You look hurt. Should we call a doctor"?
Rhehan came back to senses after hearing their concern.
"I am fine. Don"t bother," replied Rhehan softly getting up from the floor as gracefully as he could. He could feel the heat escaping from his cheek due the high impact. The stinging sensation on his cheek was not comparable to the blow on his ego and public image.
Chapter 27 - Revenge over s.e.x.
Rhehan quickly drove back to his beach house , anger still brewing up in his head. He was not somebody who picked up fights or even raised his volume, unless he felt he had been wronged. The status and image he had built up in these years was extremely precious to him, having tasted poverty and asault in his childhood. He, thus never even shouted at his employees and treated a janitor and manager with same respect.
Rhehan abruptly applied breaks of his car when his eyes fell on the mirror at his own face"s reflection. It looked like his cheek had been painted crimson red to create a palm and five fingers. The mark was highly noticeable and this increased his fury even more.
"How dare she slap me and touch her dirty footwear to my face? Doesn"t she know who i am? She is lucky that she got my attention but now she is going to be very unlucky".
Rhehan entered his home and rushed to his study to make a few calls.
"h.e.l.lo, Ms. Su, Kindly transfer all my meetings to Bangkok HQ. I plan to stay here for one week."
" h.e.l.lo, Jake. I need the list of all the shareholders of Fabiosa. Make it quick please. Thank you."
"Hi sweetheart.....
You once told me the fabiosa"s lead model "Cheryl" is your best friend....
Can you please send her number.....
Offcourse not! I don"t want to sleep with her. Its just you babes...
I just want to sign her for a new product....
Thank you....Bye."
Rhehan hung up the phone and a wicked smile sprung up on his face.
After back-to-back video calls and phone calls, Rhehan stepped out of his study at around 8:00pm and entered the bar. He avoided going personally to any meetings due to the imprint on his face. He desperately needed his favourite wine to calm himself down. The whole day he could not help but think about the audacity of that girl. After three hours, Rhehan was seven drinks down and his anger fuming up higher with every drink. By the end of tenth drink he had decided to confront her the next morning in the same place.
He did not realise that he was so engrossed in planning a revenge against Rose, he spent yet another night alone on his bed. Tossing and turning on his bed, Rhehan felt uneasy the whole night but it was not due to lack of s.e.x but due to his craving for revenge.
Chapter 28 - Pervert is back!
CAFE ISLAND, 8:30am
Next morning at sharp 8:30 am,Rhehan entered the Cafe Island with his usual charming smile and grace. The entire staff was stunned to see him. They did not expect him to ever enter the premises after being humilated so badly. They rushed to welcome him and began preparing his breakfast. Unlike the previous day there were quite a few people sitting inside the cafe, munching their morning meals.
Times Square Penthouse, 8:30am.
Rose stepped out of her bathroom after taking a hot shower. Her morning fiesta generally consisted of three hours of rigorous gyming and martial arts practice with her brother, followed by a hot shower and a hearty breakfast in Cafe Island.
That day Rose was perplexed about going to the cafe.
Will that pervert be there? Will I be tortured to see his face again? I don"t think so. Yesterday"s lesson was enough for any man to behave himself. He wouldn"t dare show his face again.
Rose smiled at the thought and hurriedly put on her dress. She looked at her reflection in mirror and couldn"t help admire her flushed cheeks and pink dress which were complementing her fair skin. The bodycon short dress highlighted her tonned body and perfect curves.
Well, I really work hard on myself so I can admire myself a bit, every now and then, she wondered.
Rose"s field of work required her to look gorgeous and stylish everyday. She was an icon for many celebrities , owing to her extremely s.e.xy looks and choice of attires. The clothes she designed were worn by the most famous celebrities, who always took her advice for every important appearance.
She quickly blow-dried her hair and put on her makeup and high heels. She planned to rush to her studio directly from the cafe.
Chapter 29 - How can anybody be this beautiful?
9:00 am
As soon as Rose entered the cafe, she could feel all eyes staring at her. Rose was quite habitual of this feeling and it never made her feel nervous or shy. She knew that people and specially guys check her out all the time which made her feel even more self - confident.
Rhehan was sitting in one corner with his back towards the door. He was casually sipping his coffee when he realised that most of the people were gazing at the door with awestruck expressions. He too curiously turned his head to look at the door and saw a beautiful girl, in a fitted pink dress entering the cafe. Her dress was much above her knees and her legs were somthing to drool over. Her dress had covered her cleavage completely but anybody could clearly figure out her busty and well tonned b.o.o.bs which were complementing her slim waist.
Rhehan could not help but gaze at her from head to toe in amazement. How can anybody be this beautiful? I have never seen anybody more beautiful than her. Why do i always feel weak in front of her? Her skin looks so smooth and white. I just want to touch her cheeks once and feel its warmth on my fingers.
Chapter 30 - Too s.e.xy To be Taken Revenge!
As soon as Rose entered the cafe her gaze fell on a man sitting at a corner staring at her wide-eyed.
He was surely very good looking and eyes catching but sadly a pervert. A good looking pervert, she thought to herself.
She ignored him and turned her head towards a vacant couch. She purposely chose the couch on the other end of the cafe to avoid any other encounter with Rhehan. Not that Rose was scared of him , she was actually scared for him. She knew if he tried to misbehave again, she might actually break his few bones in anger.
Rhehan could no longer focus on the papers in his hand. His mind was filled with contradictory thoughts.
She is too s.e.xy to be taken revenge with but she had insulted him. Why does she need to look this beautiful? I can"t deviate from my goal. She had slapped me. How can I forget that?
Rhehan turned his head in her direction and saw her sitting on the couch. She was sipping her drink and sketching something on a huge note pad. She looked so innocent and engrossed in her work. Rhehan was amazed at her concentration. She was oblivious of the fact that every second person in the cafe was staring at her.
He then noticed her legs which revealed themselves even more while sitting. How could anybody look s.e.xy yet elegant at the same time? Her short dress did not make her look vulger at all. Her poise and elegance was pretty evident from the way she sat on the couch. Rhehan tried to glance in between her thighs so as to take a peek of any visible a.s.sets. Sadly, the girl knew how to handle such fitted dresses perfectly.
Rhehan quickly snapped out of his thoughts reminding himself about his motive. He had stayed back in Bangkok just to destroy this girl"s image and career. His hand touched his cheek still slightly burning from yesterday"s impact. He quickly stood up from his chair, his cold eyes showing his craving for revenge. He was not just going to hamper her career or image but also make her beg for forgiveness.
