Chapter 389


    Rose dashed toward it, only for the wall around the hole to move just as she reached it, blocking the


    hole.


    Then, the room''s lights switched on.


    Rose turned around to see Jay with a dark look on his face. His hand was pressing on a knob on


    the wall.


    Rose stared at the knob, then turned around to stare at the blocked hole.


    Did he close the hole?


    "Sir Ares, I... I think I''m lost. I wanted to go to the bathroom..." Rose spoke slowly. Her eyes stared


    at the ground as she made the subconscious decision to hide what just happened from him.


    Jay reached out his hand. Stunned by the gesture, Rose ced her hand in hisrger one.


    "Come on. Let''s get you out." The scrunch between his brows from realizing that Rose was no


    longer beside him when he woke finally rxed now that he had found her.


    Rose’s gaze was fixed on the knob as if it was an enormous ck hole that threatened to swallow


    her whole.


    What was the secret behind this ce?


    Was Jay hiding something from her?


    "What a gloomy room. Wouldn''t you say so, Sir Ares?" Rose fidgeted as she asked, trying to probe.


    She nced secretly at Jay when she spoke.


    His wless side-profile exuded manly cleanliness. From his straight nose to his thin lips, to every


    lock of his hair, everything was immacte as if he was basked in a holy glow.


    However, was this open and frank appearance all a mere facade he had put up?


    "Do you not like it?" he asked inly.


    Rose nodded. "It gets a little dim since there''s no floor-to-ceiling window. There''s too much negative


    energy, s o you''ll attract visitors."


    "Superstitious." Jay criticized.


    With that said, his defined brows furrowed again. Perhaps they should sleep in another bedroom if


    she did not like it here.


    With her hand in his, Jay brought both of them out of the dark attic. He did not seem to have any


    intentions of letting her go even when they had returned to the bright space downstairs.


    "Come eat lunch with me out front."


    Meals were not to be skipped, for one only had the energy to do things when they were full.


    Rose nodded dutifully. "Okay."


    Jay''s ''out front’ apparently referred to the banquet hall the Ares family used to entertain guests.


    With her head held down, Rose was deep in thought a s Jay pulled her along. Only after bringing


    her to the packed banquet hall did Rose snap herself out of her humbled thoughts.


    At the same moment, Sean stood elegantly among the flow of people in a white suit. His smile was


    radiant while his posture was gentlemanly.


    Seeing him, Rose turned to run away.


    She never expected her predictions toe true. Not only was Sean in attendance, but they would


    have to face each other head-on!


    She was screwed. It would be prudent to leave first.


    However, Jay had insanely fast reflexes. Tugging her back, he pulled her strongly against his chest


    and walked forward with her in tow.


    "What are you so afraid of?”


    "I... I''m not afraid! I just have this rare disorder that''s driven by ces with a lot of people. My face


    feels hot, my heartbeat''s too fast..." Rose rambled on from the top of her head with a serious


    expression.


    "That''s called being shy." Jay saw through her facade.


    Rose was confused. How did he guess it?


    All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    As a student, this man was distinguished. As a businessman, this man was odds-defying. Not to


    mention his craftiness had been sharpened by himself. He was quite the object of envy.


    "You see, Sir Ares. I have trouble walking when I see attractive men, so can I not follow you there?”


    Merciless, Jay exposed her lie. "Yet you seem to run pretty fast whenever you see me. You mean to


    tell me I''m not attractive, yes?"


    Rose replied, ashamed, "Of course not. You''re an attractive man. More attractive than any other


    man."
