They left behind the people gossip about them. None of them cared about anyone else. Rose was still skeptical of Faith, but she kept it for now. The garden was cared greatly the flowers are fresh and there are no people around. After surveying the surrounding they sat at the seat situated at the side and had a conversation.
Rose said looking at the man beside her, "Nowadays there are always surprises waiting for us to reach in every situation like today. Mr. Faith must have felt disappointed due to the earlier show." As the party of East side, she has to be courteous about the talk with the influential figure like Faith, who is admired by many. About Boyle, she is not even concern because Boyle would be dealt by her company that is under Rose. The reason she left her free like this is all because she doesn't want to cause any trouble in this life and just want to stay in peace. If she did something even a little Rose will be fine, but peace will never be in anyone's life. Boyle and others sin shall not let to tension for Rose's family.
Faith chuckle seeing her being cautious," Miss Rose doesn't needed to be so formal. Things like this is not only in the eastern but in every society, it is very common. Vicious people are everywhere." Like he himself is one of them. Of course, he will never do something to her.
Rose nodded her head in consented manner and Faith couldn't help but comment," Did anyone tell you, that you are too beautiful Miss Rose? Oh, you must have heard this comment a lot." He truly felt like this. His mysterious eyes glint for a while before dropping to his usual emotionless eyes.
Rose blanked out at his unreserve praise. The monstrous businessman Faith seriously praised her for being beautiful. Her ears and eyes can't believe it for a long time. She felt her cheeks burning up, she cursed in her heart, what the hell is happening today. In other times she could just reply in a plain tone but today she felt butterflies in her stomach and her heart almost jumped out. She blurted out while jumbling with her thoughts, "Ahem, Mr. Faith is being modest. I'm nothing compared to other ladies that Mr. Faith must have definitely met before."
"You are the one being modest. I am not a fan of modesty." Rose cannot help but feel a little pressurized under his gaze. He is ridiculously straightforward. For a straightforward person doing business must be very tough, as he could offend anyone with this level of truthfulness. She replied plainly, "I can see that."
Faith smiled and nodded, "But" his smile deepened as he added, "this is a great way to deal with people who are truly fools." Rose can understand where his thoughts are pointing. The smart and worthy opponent will never be manipulated by modesty. This kind of act is only suitable for those who are fools and can only play mind games. Faith saw her transforming into a tigress with sharp predator like gaze.
"Business worlds are about knowledge and smartness. If a mere modesty helps every situation than what's the point of these knowledge." We can just bow when situation goes out of control and be modest to deal with it. Other necessary traits can be regarded as something of no great use.
"You are the most successful person of this era, so for you to be this kind to me must have some reason behind it." She will never believe that Faith is just naturally friendly. For him to spend this much of his precious time must have some hidden agenda. As expected, he admitted but the reason was somewhat unexpected.
"Yes, I have." Faith squinted his eyes and lowered his head as he proposed an idea, "Let's corporate Miss Rose. I want your company to transport goods. What do you think?' He added with few thoughts on this matter, "I was initially here for this purpose. Likewise, you have the largest transport company under you so I think it would be better to have corporation with you directly. The southern part of west is in desperate need of metals and ores, the price and the time is negotiable."
Rose was surprised by his proposal. She nodded after seeing that he isn't kidding, Rose was expectant to have a deal with such a high company. She was so happy that unknown to her, the slight discomfort disappeared as she excitedly agreed, "For this, we have to prepare documents and a contract. I will tell Jenny to make the documents ready in two days." As it is of very importance, she will make sure that nothing will go wrong. This large company which comes to number one is asking to corporate with her, she is not an idiot to deny it out of fear. She added after thinking for another while, ''Is Mr. Faith staying here for a long time? If not, I will email this document and you can send someone else to negotiate too."
Faith looked at her cold face which conceals excitement, he replied leisurely, "I will be here for two weeks. Make an appointment with my assistant. Two weeks should be enough I guess."
Rose smiled calculating the timing and the deals everything. She went silent for a while and Faith who saw this didn't disturbed her. He just stayed staring at her with his beautiful blue eyes. Rose called Jenny to make the arrangements. This is an urgent matter. Everyone in these heaps of business web tries their best to have contact with big companies. She is not an exception. As for why he is doing this is not her concern. She will never be able to defend herself even if she tried to. He is way too powerful. Even if he did something to her, at least it won't be now because he doesn't seem like a person who will take advantage of a guard less woman. [says who; a person who has four guards]
Rose looked at him and saw him frowning slightly. She asked with some consideration,"Mr. Faith are you, by chance, having any kinds of discomfort?" She tended to ignore it, but he appeared like in very much of irritation. She cannot feel pain, but it must be very uncomfortable for other people. Like how she felt discomfort around certain people.
Faith replied, "No why did you say so?"
"Are you sure?" Rose asked again as she shook her head, she replied, "Nothing major, just your eyes seemed tired, and your voice is dull too, moreover," She paused here and added touching his head acting like she is normal person, "it seems you have a headache."
Faith felt her soft hands touching his head for a moment he felt the pain subsided a little. He had headache because for a long time he hadn't had a peaceful sleep. This time the reason was Rose. He was very expectant to meet her that's why he had wasted his sleep to do half of the paperwork of the week in advance which cause more painful headache. But not even George could tell his health even after spending so many years with him, yet this lady just knew after meeting twice moreover with Cipa as her disease. Really incredible. She is observant, thoughtful, and sharp when needed.
Feeling pleased and warm he took a deep breath before saying, "This was due to working overtime." Hearing him Rose passed him the medicine and didn't ask further. She felt sympathetic because every CEO is like this, a machine who have to work without rest and full of worries, but she didn't say anything else to burden him. They are all pen pusher in different company.
Faith took the medic and said thanks as they return to the hall. Rose asked about the condition he talk before, but he just said, "I will let you know when I think through it." Rose and Faith happily shook hands as to depart to go separate ways. Her parents were also waiting for her in the parking load and Faith also has to inform George about his stay in the East for two weeks. But more likely to show off to his single friend. He smiled and strode towards the other VIP way to go out.
