18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 565

Chapter 565

Rosie was at a loss for words, feeling a mix of anger and embarrassment. Men of all ages seemed to find reasons to hover around her and Poppy, their

attentiveness both flattering and overwhelming. Just the other night, when she got home, there was this absurd scene of them playing the knight in shining armor. Rosie was so irritated she could have dislocated their arms.

"He's alright."

Stella probed further, "Alright in what way?"

Rosie paused, "Well... because of you and my brother."

Rosie looked even more confused, "No, what's wrong?"

Stella opened her mouth, then closed it again. "Nothing, just that he's all talk, never really serious." She suddenly found herself unable to continue the conversation.
