Embarssment was an understatement to what she was facing right now. Fate really does has a cruel way of playing with her,the man she ignored was right here in front of her and she has to interview him. She felt like the ground ought to swallow her whole right now.
"Miss Fox,what would you like to drink" she jolted back to reality at the sound of Damien's voice.
"Water would be fine Mr Walker" Rose replied formally spiking his curiosity once more on how a girl like her could be this mysterious .
[One minute she's cute and innocent And the next minute she's another person,it's like she has two personalities inside of her] Damien thought in his mind whilst still staring at her like a predator locked unto his prey.
"Okay" damien said signalling the waiter of their menu.
*********************************""""""""************************************************************
After about 20 minutes Rose explained her proposal to Damien who looked impressed but still has his poker face on.He cleared his throat and then said
"Miss Fox,mr snow wants to be my partner for my company's upcoming project. I'll give it to him,but have a condition" Damien smirked muttering the words with authority making Rose shiver in fear,but who wouldn't fear after knowing who is seated in front of them.
Rose tried to call her nerves before replying to him.
"What is your condition Mr Walker"
"You see miss Fox any company I'm partnering with has to be top notch,knowing fully well that the project is an elite reality show so I'd need to be in touch with the representative closely. I hope that wouldn't be a problem with you miss Fox,because you are your company's representative so...". He didn't have to talk much for her to understand what he meant.
"While you have your conditions I also have mine Mr Walker, I'll send a file to you stating my conditions,maybe then we could come to a fair compromise" Rose stated confidently amusing Damien once more.
"Okay agreed,but to start of you'd be following me to a ball party on Saturday" he said with a lot of authority while his eyes still shine with amusement like he was enjoying their back and forth.
"Im sorry sir,I can't....." She hasn't even completed her words when she spotted her brother.
(Pls don't see me,pls God let him walk past us)She prayed in her heart but it seems like God had some other plan because Raymond still walked up to her table.
"Hmm I see someone is on a date "Raymond teased
"No we are..."she didn't get to finish her words when Damien cut her off
"Of course we are,wanted to spend time with my woman" Rose looked at Damien who was smiling mischievously.
"Thank God I wasn't wrong, I told Mom about you both" Raymond stated
"What !! Why the fuck would you do that Raymond,you don't get to interfere in my personal life okay,God you're so annoying" Rose angrily said to Raymond who just smiled at her making her fume even more.
"Well mom is out to watch you both,so if I were you I'll showom what she want to see,if not you know what Mom was capable of doing" Raymond threatened and she knew fully well what her mom could do. She turned to Damien who was watching her and her brother's banter witha trace of amusement on his face.
"Im so sorry Mr Walker"
"Mummy issues I see,well I am willing to act with you,coz something about you makes me curious and I want to woo you" his straight forwardness caught her off guard, how can a man be so shameless she asked her self feeling her heart race at this words.
Raymond left them both to their business while they both chatted for a while before leaving for their homes.

NEXT DAY AT WORK
As usual Rose went to work,she was in her office when she heard jumai her assistant knock
"Rose you have a delivery"
"What, who is it from" Rose asked feeling confused as jumai handed her a bouquet of white rose which were her favorite.
"Sorry who is it from? She asked once again but jumai pulled out a note from the flower and red to her hearing.
"They said happiness starts with Letter H,but mine starts with you, because your name alone rose me back to life, yours sincerely D.W" jumai began to tease her
"Oh my God, Rose has an admirer "jumai teased playfully poking Rose's shoulder .
For some reason Rose brought the flower to her nose to scent the flower's fragrance and then places it in her vase,she could feel her cheeks warm up,only then did she realized that she was blushing,she tried to compose herself by dismissing the playful assistant away.
