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.

Stella sized up Rosie, blooming with the grace of youth. Not just the restless men, but even women found it hard to look away. Add to that her family background and wealth—it was enough to make anyone drool with envy. Never mind Rosie, Stella thought to herself, if she and Jasper ever split, there would probably be a line of men ready to break down her door. Such was the brutal reality!

"He's alright."

Stella probed further, "Alright in what way?"

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

"So..." Stella hesitated, "has he ever said anything inappropriate to you, or done something?"

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.
