âWe are quadruplets. Iâm the second oldest among them, and I resemble my eldest brother. My third
and fourth brothers resemble each other, and they both take after my mother.â
Axel would usually never bring up family matters with others. But for some reason, he wanted to
answer Rozaâs curiosity. At the same time, he used this to distract her attention from the previous
incident.
Rozaâs eyes lit up. âOh⦠Then it seems my master got an equal balance of both her motherâs and
Chairman Thompsonâs features. Máster is really lucky, getting the best of both worlds.â
Axel couldnât help but smile at that.
He noticed how thin Roza was, even more so than Bella. Her beautiful, slender shoulders made her
look like a clothes hanger. But where there should be flesh, there was no shortage at all.
Somehow, Axel felt a little bit of pity for her. His hand on her shoulders slowly tightened.
âWho were those two people who bullied you? How did you end u with them?â
Roza suddenly shook her shoulders, her delicate body leaning back. Her eyes deliberately avoided his
concerned gaze. âThey are people I met in the business. I didnât have much contact with them before,
so I didnât know they were such rude people.â
Axe asked anxiously. âBusiness? I heard from Bella that youâre a fashion designer. Donât you just stay
in the studio to sketch and sew?
Is it necessary to mingle in such a setting?â
Roza coldly raised her eyebrows. âOh? So, you think designers are just sewing machines? Donât we
need to promote our brand and expand our channels?â
âSo you just drank with those two men until you were drunk? Didnât you realize their dirty thoughts
towards you?â Axel became even more anxious, his eyes turning red.
He stared straight at her and asked, âHow can a girl like you have no situational awareness at all? Or
are you willing to do anything for your brand?â
âYes, after all, I have no one to rely on. I can only rely on myself.â Roza felt inexplicably bitter and
turned her face away, not looking at him.
Seeing her nonchalant attitude, Axel was furious and pushed her down on the car seat. âRely on
yourself? How? By selling your smile and time?â
âThatâs not something for you to worry about.â Roza clenched her teeth. The light in her eyes dimmed
somewhat.
âDo you know what would have happened if I had come a step later Arenât you afraid at all? Do you
want me to be the prosecutor in a case where the victim is you?!â
âI donât want to know. Besides, youâre here now. Even if you hadnât come, I would have found a way to
escape.â
Roza bitterly pursed her lips, her clearly visible knuckles lightly pressing on Axelâs chest. She
mercilessly pushed him away, saying,
Next time you see me, remember to stay away so you donât get into trouble.â
âYou! Youâre simply unreasonable!â Axel was so angry that fumes were coming out of his ears. He
stared at her with eyes that were completely red.
âMiss, please listen to him. Iâve been working around this nightclub for more than two years now. Iâve
seen many girls who have been drunk and taken away!â The driver advised kindly, âYour boyfriend is
also doing this for your own good. Young lady, you shouldnât come to places like this.â
Axel and Roza spoke in unison. âItâs none of your business! Donât talk nonsense!â
âAlright, alright⦠You two are just having a loverâs quarrel.â The driver excused himself and then asked,
âHey, since youâve quarreled and fought, where do you want to go next?â
âIâ¦â
Before Roza could speak, Axel preemptively gave an address.
âWhere are you taking me?â Roza asked in a hurry.
âMy home.â
âAxel! Youâre out of line! How dare you take me to your house?â
Rozaâs face blushed with a mixture of embarrassment and anger.
If it werenât for the fact that he had saved her, she would have considered punching him in the head.
âThose two men tonight are quite powerful. Until Drew deals with them, I canât let you go back alone.
You could be followed, and your safety is at risk,â Axel explained urgently.
With a sudden move, Axel grabbed her wrist tightly, holding it like a pair of handcuffs. âAnyway, youâre
not leaving my sight tonight. Iâm in charge of your safety!â
