Chapter 445 - Rose's Secret
Rose fell silent when she heard Daniel's story about how broken hearted Aaron Sean Connery was. If she had heard everything Daniel said from other people, Rose might not have believed it. However, because all of that was said by Daniel, who incidentally was Aaron's closest person, Rose finally believed everything the bespectacled man said.
"So I beg you, Miss Rose, never bring this news to the public. Leonardo Ganke's ex-wife is a very good woman, she must have been devastated when news about her past was published and made the headline of a magazine," said Daniel, quietly closing all the stories.
"Oh my God, actually was she stupid or an idiot?!! How can she let her husband be taken by the woman she has helped? If I was in her position, I would have killed that disgusting couple," said Rose passionately with every emphasis on every word she said.
Daniel pursed his lips. "That's why the boss liked the woman so much, even though in the end he was rejected outright."
Rose turned to Daniel. "I want to see what kind of woman we were discussing earlier, Daniel, do you have a picture of her?"
"Unfortunately no."
"Oh, that's too bad, I'm really curious. I'm very curious about that woman," said Rose full of disappointment.
"Do you love my boss, Miss Rose?" asked Daniel suddenly changing the subject.
Rose was silent. She couldn't answer Daniel's question. Even though she's been quite talkative while discussing about the affair between Leonardo Ganke and his current wife, for such a trivial question from Daniel, it seemed to be very difficult for her to answer at the moment.
"Mr Aaron, he hasn't laughed again since the last two years until he finally met you. I'm sure Master must have told you about the woman, Candice Skyriver, that messed up this afternoon, but believe me, Rose, even though he was engaged to Candice at that time, he received a much deeper pain in his heart when he was rejected by Miss Anne."
"Anne?"
"Leonardo Ganke's ex-wife, Miss Marianne." Daniel emphasized his words.
"Does Aaron still love Anne until now?" Rose unconsciously asked Daniel the question.
Daniel smiled. "No, I can guess with great confidence."
"Why are you so sure when you're not Aaron? I mean the one with those feelings is Aaron, so what makes you so confident to say that, Daniel?"
Stupid, why am I talking like this!!
Rose cursed herself in her heart, she regretted the words she had just said to Daniel.
"Because by now my master has fallen in love with you, Miss Lily-Rose Joseph, the only daughter of the Portuguese Minister of the National Defense."
Rose's eyes widened, her mouth opened wide when she heard Daniel's words. She had no idea that the big secret she had kept for the past two years from everyone she knew in England was known to Daniel.
Seeing Rose's surprised expression made Daniel chuckle. "Since the day I first met you, I've managed to figure out who you really are, Miss Rose. But I still keep this very tight because I know it's a secret you're keeping."
"Aaron, does he know that I..."
"Sure, Master was the one who told me about your secret." Daniel cut off Rose's words quickly.
Rose lowered her head, she didn't know what to do now. The secret she had kept so tight was easily discovered by Aaron Sean Connery, a man she had only known for the past two weeks. It felt like all the disguises that had been running well for two years were shattered in an instant.
"Calm down, Miss, Mr. Aaron is a very discreet person and good in keeping secrets," Daniel said softly as he patted Rose's shoulder, trying to calm the beautiful woman who looked very frustrated.
"A secret won't be a secret anymore when someone already knows it, Daniel." Rose's weak voice was heard clearly even though she was looking down, keeping her head between her knees with her hands holding her head.
Daniel chuckled. Apparently, what his master said was true. Rose was a magical girl and he saw her current strange behavior firsthand.
"Believe me, Miss, Master is very serious about you."
The few words that Daniel had just said managed to make Rose get up and sit up straight again. Her eyes were gleaming at Daniel. "Why do you know so much, Daniel?" Rose snapped in irritation. She still couldn't accept her secret being revealed.
"Because I know Mr. Aaron better than Mr. Aaron himself," Daniel answered simply.
Rose was silent again, she was not in the mood to talk to Daniel. Having just sat alone with the man, her big secret was revealed, she chose to lock her lips tightly because she didn't want her other disgrace to leak out again. Her intention to find out more about Marianne, Leonardo Ganke's ex-wife, who was betrayed by her best friend, was lost because Daniel said the big secret he knew from Aaron. In Rose's mind now there were hundreds of questions she was ready to ask Aaron. She was very curious about Aaron, how could he possibly know her secret so easily even after she changed all the personal info about herself including her last name?
Instantly, Rose was like a person who had no passion for life when she thought of Aaron who managed to find out her true identity. Rose sat back on the sofa silently and continued to stare at Aaron who was sitting not far from her. Meanwhile, Daniel could only smile at the devastated Rose.
"You are indeed a match for my boss, Miss Rose," Daniel said in his heart.
***
Stefi who was enjoying her dinner in her room was actually almost went crazy. Leon left her since they arrived in the room and hadn't return to the room until now, when it was very late to finish dinner. If only her stomach was not so hungry, Stefi wouldn't be able to eat. She really took care of her body shape, her future asset to maintain having Leon as her husband.
"I've dressed so pretty for you, Leon, where are you?!! You son of a bitch, Wayne, I really can't wait to chop your body up for tigers to eat! You've exhausted my patience, Wayne Scott, you asshole!"
Stefi slammed her fork on the plate, making a pretty loud sound, thinking about Wayne made her lose her appetite. Ever since Wayne came into Leon's life, she became left out. Leon slowly started to distance himself from her. Although, at first, she felt it was just a feeling, but as time went on, she became more and more convinced that Wayne Scott was the male version of Medusa who tried to influence Leon and changed Leon not to pamper her any longer.
Even though she was very angry at Leon, she couldn't do anything but wait for the man to return to the room. Stefi didn't want to ruin all her plans. She had been waiting for this night for the past month, so she tried to hold herself back a little longer to be patient.
The footsteps of several people who stopped in front of the room managed to wake Stefi from her daydream at the edge of the bed. Instantly, she got up from the super large bed and prepared to welcome her husband who had returned.
"Leon..."
"Master is very drunk, you'd better not bother him, Madam." Wayne immediately cut off Stefi's words when he brought in Leon, who was already in a semi-conscious state.
"I know, Wayne, take it easy," Stefi answered quietly, acting to win Wayne's sympathy as always.
Wayne smiled sinisterly. "It's good that you really love Master."
There was no more answer from Stefi, only a hateful gaze that was currently on Wayne from the sexy woman. After making sure Leon was sleeping comfortably, Wayne immediately left the master's room, leaving the drunk man with his wife who was very lustful and ready to pounce on him.
After locking the room tightly, Stefi then walked quickly to the bed. She then took off her sleeping pajamas just like that on the floor and exposed her sexy body which was wrapped in lingerie.
"Drunk you say? We'll see, Wayne...I'll make Leon awake from his drunkenness in a moment," Stefi said quietly as she took out a drink that could make someone sober in an instant. It was a gift from one of her best doctors from South Korea.
