Caesar looked at her quietly. He could find no trace of the old Rose anymore.
The woman had the same face as the Rose he had once known, but that was all.
"Rose, I have a lot of houses. If you are willing..." Caesar said.
There was a villa which had been renovated a year ago for their wedding, the abandoned plan.
Caesar would love to provide Rose the best house, even if she refused his love now.
Rose, who was checking those house photos, paused and asked, "Mr. Peterson, do you think I am poor?"
Only then did Caesar realize that Rose was no longer that silly girl who had been sold on the ship.
She was the daughter of the Xiao family, who took root in the United States more than one hundred years ago. It could be said so that Rose was vastly rich.
She could still live affluently if she kept idling all her life.
Now, Rose made her own investment with financial aid from the Xiao family. She personally might not so rich as Caesar, but poverty had nothing to do with her now.
"Rose, that's not what I mean. I just want to..." Rose interrupted before Caesar could finish his sentence.
"Mr. Peterson, I don't care about what you think. I can't drive you away if you insist on staying. However, please don't interrupt my business. Thank you."
There was a strong aura coming out from her bones now.
The agent was sensible to keep silent. After a careful comparation, Rose selected a house.
"Show me the detailed information of this house."
"Okay, Miss, One moment, please."
Rose chose a fine-decorated apartment, covering an area of about 140 square meters. She had a fancy on its design.
She would live alone, so it was unnecessary for her to buy a luxurious villa.
"Miss Xiao, there are what you ask for. Its owner prepared it for his wedding."
"Unfortunately, the lovers broke up before the wedding, and the man went abroad. This house has excellent daylighting and location."
"The key point is that the price is cost-effective, as it was not an investment from the beginning."
After a scrutiny of the documents, Rose said, "I will have this one. Bring the contract with you and take me to this apartment."
"Yes, Miss Xiao. I'll take you there right away."
Rose already got rid of her indecisiveness, and her moves were swift and firm now. She made a great change in the past year.
Looking around the apartment, Rose felt satisfied with it and signed the contract right in the apartment.
Rose produced a card before Caesar made the payment, "Mr. Peterson, we were over long ago. Take my card."
Rose liked the apartment very much and moved in that day.
Now, she realized her dream of owing one apartment in City A.
Her current life was different from her past imagination, but that was not bad.
The agent left soon, but Caesar lingered at the door. Rose couldn't help saying, "Mr. Peteron, I am sorry that I am too tired to entertain you. Could you please leave now?"
The long flight from abroad and the time lag put
Rose in a state of exhaustion.
Caesar was about to speak but stopped, "Rose, I just want to see you."
