Caesar stared at the emoji and giggled for a long time. Seeing this, the driver was really shocked. What happened? Was he dreaming?
Mr. Peterson, the man known for his ruthlessness, was giggling like a young man in love?
Rose didn't get his response, so she sent him another message. "Mr. S?"
Caesar replied with one word, "Yes?"
"Are you still abroad?"
Caesar thought for a moment. It was only a matter of time before they met.
"No. I'm back."
Rose's face changed. Did it mean that she needed to give the house back to him?
The problem was, she had fallen in love with this house. She already had in mind what it would be like to sleep in the round bed or bask in the sun on the balcony.
Caesar seemed to know what she was thinking about. He added, "I won't go to that house for a while. Take care of it for me. I'll treat you to dinner some other day."
Only then did Rose smile again. "That's very kind of you. But let me treat, okay? You've already helped me a lot. I wonder when you're free."
"I'm not sure, but I'll call you when I am." It wasn't that he didn't want to see her, but he didn't want her to know it was him.
"Okay. I'll keep that in mind." Rose sent him another emoji.
"Okay."
"Are you used to it?"
He seemed to be very succinct. Rose thought for a moment and then realized what he meant.
She sent him a voice message. "Mr. S, your house is really beautiful, just like a small castle. I'm so gonna get used to it and love it."
Hearing her smiling voice, Caesar felt that the whole world suddenly became warm.
How long had it been since he had laughed so happily?
"I'm glad you like it."
His reply made her heart beat faster. It was like a conversation between a couple.
She shook her head. "What am I thinking? Maybe Mr. S is a 60-year-old man!"
"Bah, bah, bah. Even if he is a young man, it has nothing to do with me."
She wanted to thank him, and it was not about who he was.
"I like it very much. I'm going to clean the room." Rose began to clean the room after that.
The housekeepers arrived soon. There were six people, so it seemed that she didn't need to do anything.
She brought her luggage here, but she still left some things in her dorm room. She decided to go get it.
She reissued her old number when she passed the cell phone store. The phone Caesar gave her could have two sim cards at once.
She put the card in the phone and immediately got a call from her supervisor.
She was so nervous when she saw the caller ID. Because of Sofia, she had completely forget about the part-time job thing!
