At nine o'clock the next day, Rosalie was woken up by her phone ringing.

She opened her eyes, and realized that she had overslept. She usually didn't wake up this late.

Rosalie was still feeling woozy as she sat up on the bed. She reached for her phone, and saw an incoming call. Her heart leapt, and she answered the call immediately. "Hey, Mom."

"Rose, are you up?" Sydney asked.

"I am," Rosalie said as she combed her fingers through her hair, feeling slightly guilty. She looked like a little girl who got caught by her mother for sleeping in, and she dared not admit it. "What's up, Mom?" "I'm meeting Geoffrey for lunch later. Join me."

"Join you? Are you sure, Mom?"

"Do you want me to meet that cunning businessman all by myself?"

"Well, no," Rosalie said hurriedly. "Of course not, Mom. I'll go with you."

She had a part to play in this meeting between her mom and Geoffrey. She introduced them for the sake of helping Sebastian, and had begged her mom to meet Geoffrey. She couldn't possibly leave her mom in the lurch now.

She just didn't expect the meeting to happen so soon.
