Call or text??

Rose has finished washing her dishes and has placed them on a shelf in the dining room.

As she turns off the lights in the room, she takes her laptop and the piece of paper with her. When she arrived at her room, she immediately texted Liam to express her gratitude for the breakfast.

After that, Rose went to bed to sleep.

Liam was awake all night because he needed to decide when he was going to announce the launch of a new idea in front of a few employees. He didn't pay attention to his phone and eventually fell asleep at his desk.

The following morning, Liam washed himself before dressing himself in casual clothes. He checks his phone and discovers that he has received a message from an unknown sender. He clicks on the inbox and discovers that it was Rose who was thanking him for his efforts earlier the day.

Liam quickly texted her a good morning message and dressed in his hoodie and sweatpants.

After gathering his belongings, which included his phone and some work files, he exited his room and went downstairs to have his morning breakfast. While Michel was already sitting in his chair, listening to music, Liam's mother was having a conversation with the neighbour aunty, who came to their house regularly with her 18-year-old daughter, as Liam approached to take a seat on the couch.

Michel interrupts the conversation in the middle and says "I'm talking about you, brother!! Isn't it true that you'll be away for three to four days to visit the restaurant you've mentioned wanting to visit with someone special?"

Liam gives him a cold stare and says "Are you insane? I have an urgent task to complete in preparation for the meeting in Seoul, where there will be a large number of companies in a competitive position, and you are continuing to say stupid things...."

"Well, let's have breakfast first, and then we'll hang out to pick out your suits and clothes for those days," Michel says with a laugh.

The young man nods as he consumes a large portion of his plate of breads and pastries, finishing a whole glass of juice in one sitting, and then dismisses himself without greeting his mother or the other guests.

"We're on our way!" says Michel as he takes the keys. During this time, his mother is watching them as they rush out of the house to get into their car.

Rose woke up late, her hair was a mess, while staring at the ceiling, as she checked her phone, she found a message in her inbox from Liam, wishing her "morning."

As she gets out of bed to get ready for her meeting with her aunt for the second time in a week, she growls and throws her phone on the bed as she remembers that her aunt always makes great coffee and cookies whenever she visits their house in the east as her only child, a boy named Derff, has grown up quickly in the past few years, and her mother did not like to bring her child to coffee shops because the customers would only glare at him and say things like "he is cute or Rose's aunt divorced her husband when Derff was eight years old because Derff's father was a low-wage bartender who had sustained some injuries years before, and as a result, the family's savings were depleted and Rose's aunt was left with absolutely nothing".

Rose tried numerous times to persuade her aunt that she could pay off the rents and other bills, but her aunt was adamant.

Rose eventually came to the conclusion that the needs of a family are more important than the needs of the individual family members.

Rose quickly washed her face and brushed her teeth as she began to consider what to wear. As she looked at each and every dress, her gaze was drawn to the black bow-style knee-length dress, which she nodded and smiled at as she did so.

A simple flower pendant and a pair of white sneakers completed the look, which she practically reached for. She styled her hair into plates and applied a light dusting of blush to her cheeks.

When she stepped out without having breakfast, she wore a simple watch and took her clutch and car keys with her. As she starts her car, she considers getting some gifts for her aunt and her baby boy.

"What are your plans for tomorrow?" Michel inquires as Liam was simply scribbling over the working pages in the back of the car when he is apprehended by Michel.

"Why?" asks Liam.

As Michel clears his throat and inquires, "Get yourself a lady!! You're beginning to look like an old man! We have arrived at our destination"

Liam grins and steps out of the car as Michel pulls the car up in front of the shopping mall, just as Michel rushes over to be on his side and takes the lift to the top floor in search of some good-looking suits and some casual clothes for the meeting days.

Rose pulls into the parking lot and realises that the car she parked was next to Liam's because she didn't realise it until she crossed the parking lot and rushed over to the gate to take an empty lift as soon as she sees an empty lift she rushes over it and takes the top most floor to make up for gifts as Liam arrives their, Michel had already procured a black suit with a nicely shaped four clove of pin on the pocket, but it was far too expensive for his budget.

As Michel points it out, and Liam responds, "suit yourself, don't bother me, I'm going to go buy some see-through shirts for the light weight clothes."

Liam was wandering around and the light weight clothes were just beside the female counter of the ages when he caught a glimpse of Rose choosing clothes for not her age as Liam thinks she still looks young and beautiful but Liam takes his eyes off Rose and finally sees a black see through shirt with a pair of black pants that he takes and dismisses himself on purpose of work.

Rose finally manages to procure a white and purple printed floral dress for her aunt, and she believes that her son would prefer foods rather than clothes in the future.

Rose rushes to the clothes checking counter because her dress is only thirty dollars, and she pays and waves them goodbye as soon as she gets there.

Michel appears in front of her without her knowledge and says "Oh my goodness! Do we miss you around here?" Rose smiles and says, "I'm out of time, but can we continue this brief conversation later?" Rose dismisses herself and disappears into the throngs of people to get to the lift, as Michel nods.
