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 placed her hand in his larger 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 relaxed now that he had found her.
Rose’s gaze was fixed on the knob as if it was an enormous black hole that threatened to swallow her whole.
What was the secret behind this place?
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 glanced secretly at Jay when she spoke.
His flawless side-profile exuded manly cleanliness. From his straight nose to his thin lips, to every lock of his hair, everything was immaculate 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 plainly.
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.
