Chapter 367
Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)
Chapter 367 William and Grace Roberts had been on a business trip for several days and did not inform Rose of their return date. Therefore, she had no choice but to look for her brother at the pier after work.
Rose felt bored at Frankâs office playing video games every day. On the other hand, she had no intention of running a sideline business either.
Therefore, she had a lot of time on her hands.
Rose had chosen pediatrics by chance, mainly because she liked children.
Rose curled up on the sofa and shook her legs while racking her brain about what to do next.
Her brotherâs office at the pier had no atmosphere whatsoever. Everyone there was serious and cold.
Other than the occasional imposing manner Frank Roberts called out to his subordinates, the office was quiet and severe most of the time; Rose felt oppressive, Suddenly, she heard a disgusted voice coming from a nearby desk. âYouâre going to get Parkinsonâs, for crying out loud!â
Frank stared at Rose shaking her legs, and scolded her; it made him go crazy.
Rose lay on her side and sounded her brother out. âDonât you ever feel bored, Frank? Do you want me to help you improve the atmosphere here? I wonât charge you a cent.â
Frank stared at his sister suspiciously for a while. âWhat are you going to do, huh? 1 donât have time to clean up the mess after you.â
He was swamped lately, preparing to take over the Roberts familyâs business. Therefore, he was involved in all the ongoing projects to familiarize himself with the companyâs operations.
In addition, he had to keep an eye on his sister.
Rose thought of an idea. She thought it was such a good idea she had to share with Frank. âCan I have some fun here, Frank? Iâll create a unique atmosphere at the pier for your sake.â
Frank did not bother to chat with her. He did not expect Rose to cause too much trouble when he was around. âUp to you,â he said casually.
Rose was ecstatic by his permission. She immediately jumped up from the sofa and walked outside. Frank did not ask Rose what she wanted to do. If she left him alone, she could roam around the pier as she pleased.
Frank would keep an eye on her anyway.
Not long after, Frank heard a voice mumbling outside. âOh, please donât!â He frowned and had a bad feeling but did not go out to check.
Rose stood in an empty lot in front of the office, directing with her cell phone in hand.
A dozen or so good-looking lackeys stood before her. Rose nodded satisfactorily and asked. âDoes anyone else want to train?â
Those standing afar who managed to dodge the selection immediately shook their heads, indicating they did not want to be a part of it It was a blessing Rose did not choose them; none wanted to be made monkeys.
Rose looked disappointed. âHey, guys. Arenât you afraid your legs will stiffen if you stand there all day? Ignore them, the rest of you. I promise they wonât be as agile as you guys in the future.â
âCome on. Cheer up! Donât look so lifeless. From today onward, we will organize a fitness team at the pier. As a doctor. Iâve decided to lead you out of your sub-health zone for your sake. You donât have to thank me. Iâm a kind person by nature,â Rose said confidently.
Tom, who was in the lineup, looked like he had nothing to live for; he had problems coordinating his limbs and hated group exercises. He wanted to say, âMiss, youâre a pediatrician, not an internal medicine doctor. But he held his tongue.
Rose could change her occupation at will just because she was their bossâs sister.
Just then, a lively song for dance exercise filled the empty lot as a bodyguard held up a cell phone.
Rose led the group in front, followed by the lackeysâ lackluster moves.
After one round, Rose turned around and looked at the crowd. She was dissatisfied with their performance. Only a few made the cut; the rest looked like they stepped on collon.
They were helpless weaklings, in Roseâs opinion.
The music continued to play but did not affect those unloading the goods. Everyone felt the pier had become much livelier since Roseâs arrival.
The energetic music excited the workers, who even hummed along. âMiss Roberts is quite cute.â
An older worker complimented Rose.
âIsnât it? The atmosphere at the pier has become much livelier recently. Itâs quite an improvement from the lifeless state before.â
Frank was drawn to the commotion at long last. He opened the door with coffee in hand. He was shocked by what he saw and choked on his drink.
âCough, cough, cough, cough!â
A lackey quickly ran into the office to get a tissue and handed it to him. âFor you, Frank.â
Frank took the tissue and wiped his mouth. He then narrowed his eyes and looked at his sister, who commanded the bodyguards with all seriousness in exercising. Confused. He asked his lackey. âWhat is she planning to do?â
The young man replied truthfully, reciting Roseâs words verbatim. âMiss Roberts said chatting and standing idle all day were bad for our health.
Therefore, she wanted to lift us out of our subhealth zone free of charge. We donât have to thank her for being a kind-hearted doctor.â
Frankâs head throbbed after he heard that. He handed the coffee to the lackey and pinched between his eyebrows. His sister would think of the weirdest ideas to make his life difficult.
Frank did not think it was about his bodyguardsâ subhealth issue. Instead, he was sure his sisterâs brain was fried and could not think straight anymore.
However, Frank did not intend to stop Rose. He did not want to be bothered by her and would rather it be the bodyguards who suffered than him.
Frank took a video of Rose while leaning against the office door. Then he sent it to Grace Roberts and thought, âThank goodness she will be back in a few daysâ
Otherwise, the pier would become a stage if Grace was not back anytime soon.
Moments later, Grace sent a message. [What does Rose want to do?]
Frank replied. Sheâs gone crazy.-]
[Iâll be back when sheâs back to normal.] Grace texted.
Frank was speechless.
Grace sounded like she did not intend to interfere and let Rose do whatever she wanted. Frank put away his cell phone and. walked into the office.
He thought for a while and sent the video to Ava.
However, there was no response for a long time. Frank assumed Ava was in class, so he placed his phone at the corner of the table and ignored it.
He went back to work after that. Focusing on building his career was Frankâs priority.
Just then, a white Mercedes-Benz slowly drove toward the pier. The tinted windows were closed, so people from the outside could not look in.
However, those inside the car could look out clearly.
They could, in fact, see everything around them.
Kyle Jenkins was in the driverâs seat, wearing a white shirt. He turned to look at Edward Landor in the front passenger seat beside him suspiciously.
The latter narrowed his eyes as if he did not believe what he saw Kyle was equally bewildered by the scene before him and could not believe his eyes.
Apparently, Rose Roberts used the pier as an open stage to train the bodyguards in dance exercises. Both men were dumbfounded.
Kyle was in a daze. He firmly believed Rose had somehow conquered Edwardâs heart because she was unique and special.
Therefore, he was curious about how Edward felt when he saw the unusual situation. âDo you have anything to say, Boss? Miss Roberts seems a little odd.â Kyle said.
Edward looked away after a while and replied calmly, âEveryone has their own way of expressing their passion for life. Each individual is different, thatâs all. What you do may seem odd to others too.â
Kyle smiled and said without hesitation, âI understand what you mean. You donât think sheâs strange at all. Instead, you admire her initiative.â
âCan you stop overthinking everything I say? I meant everyone lives differently. Donât misconstrue me,â Edward protested.
âI think you can live in another way, too, like the bodyguards before you. Hoping and jumping-â
Kyle suggested with a half-smile.
Edward ignored him as the car drove to the side of the road. He chuckled for no reason when he saw Rose trying to teach the bodyguards to dance.
She chose to live freely by turning the pier into a stage and did not care what others thought.
Rose Roberts was the one and only woman who dares doing such a thing
Kyle glanced at Edward and smiled. He said nothing, believing his intuition was spot on as usual.
Meanwhile. Rose cheered enthusiastically. âOne, two, three, four. Two, two, three, four. Three, two, three, four. Letâs do it all over again!â
Rose cried with zest like a professional dance instructor. In fact, she had learned dancing for quite some time in Sapphire City to overcome depression. She would dance until she was drenched in sweat to vent her frustration.
The upbeat energy seemed to have a rippling effect after a while as the workers at the pier began to move to Roseâs rhythmn.
Someone shouted. âOne, two, up!â
Another echoed âOne, two, up!â
Both voices seemed strangely harmonious as the workers moved in sync, motivating each other to work. All the cells in their bodies appeared to be stimulated by the beat of the sound When Kyle and Edward exited the car, they saw the hardworking workers smiling. They were speechless.
Edward glanced at Rose agam, his gaze dark and unreadable. He could feel Roseâs uncontrollable vibe as if she was born with it Rose focused on teaching and did not notice anything else. She said to the exhausted bodyguards, âLook at your state, guys. Practice with me every day to free yourselves from the subhealth zone. Itâs free for all; I wonât charge you. You donât have to be nervous.â
The bodyguards were too tired to say anything.
Rose sweated profusely; she finally found an excellent side hustle. Although she did it for free, she would save lives in one way or another. Helping others had always been Roseâs true spirit.
Out of the lot, Tom was the only one who exercised every morning for his job as Roseâs bodyguard. He did not want to slack. off training his body daily. The rest of the bodyguards seemed to be more lax compared to him.
Since the Roberts familyâs business got on the right track, many bodyguards had earned their keeps and lived comfortable. lives thanks to Grace and William Roberts. They neglected exercising, and most had piled on some weight. A comfortable life made them lazy.
The bodyguards panted after Rose finished practicing with them. On the other hand, Tom felt that Roseâs method was an excellent way to perk everyone up. He enjoyed the workout thoroughly.
When Rose eventually walked into Frankâs office, the latter looked at her and teased, âYou have finally found your calling in my office.â
âHey, donât you think itâs such a good deed? Look at your lackeys; theyâve all grown fat. How can bodyguards afford to be so fat? Do you think they can manage to run long distances should something happen? They can bearly finish 700 feet and are already out of breath,â Rose said sternly.
Frank agreed with her. However, things were different now. The bodyguards did not need to risk their lives in their jobs, so Frank neglected their training.
âIn that case, I will pay you for your effort, Frank suggested.
Thereâs no need for that. Weâre family. However, if you insist, Iâll not resist. I will accept it graciously.â
Rose gave her brother a polite look. âGo ahead and pay me, then,â she thought.
âI thought you wanted to be superwoman. I didnât expect you to want to be a savior too. Youâre quite an ambitious young lady. Rose. Tell me when youâre about to become immortal. My humble office may be unable to accommodate you.â
Frank continued to tease his sister without looking up.
Rose understood what Frank meant, but she could not be bothered to chat with him. She had no intention of being Edwardâs backup lover, thinking only a fool would be a substitute. Although handsome and refined, Edward already had someone in his heart. Rose did not want to compete with Natalie.
Although Rose did not regard herself as outstanding or particularly likable, she did not prepare to be a stunt double to win Edward over. She rather enjoyed singlehood.
Now that Rose found a side hustle she enjoyed, she could give Grace Roberts a hand in mentally and physically lifting the bodyguardsâ morale. It was her gesture of helping the family.
With this thought in mind, Rose felt confident her idea was indeed a good one.
She then walked into Frankâs bathroom with a towel to wash her face.
