Chapter 1457

"I'm doing really well." Rose's eyes narrowed as she flicked ash off her cigarette. "The world is my
home. I have no family or kin to my name.” "What are you talking about? If you don’t have family, who am I then?" Alyssa held Rose's arm
lovingly. "The moment I become your mentor, you'll always be my... you know how it goes." "Taking advantage of me now, aren't you?" Rose teasingly pinched Alyssa's chin with the hand
holding her cigarette. Rose had a natural physique, taller and broader than Alyssa. Their affectionate and teasing
movements made quite the sight. They looked like a couple of lesbian lovers. Meanwhile, Silas was in the crowd some distance away, watching Rose's every move. He didn't like people who smoked. Every time Axel started smoking, Silas would try and find a way
to snatch the cigarette away. Yet for some reason, as Silas gazed at Rose holding the cigarette with her slender fingers, the smoke
swirling around her face, and the relaxed look in her eyes, he couldn't help but be mesmerized by
her. Right now, Rose was the most stunning creature to Silas, especially while doing something he hated
the most. His breathing quickened. He quickly looked away and downed an entire glass of iced water from the
table. It had been some time since Silas had met Rose. They hadn't contacted one another prior, but Silas
would look at her social media account nearly every single day. He had followed her and constantly
paid attention to any updates from Rose. Silas had thought he and Rose would naturally grow closer tonight because of what happened last
time. But Rose hadn't spoken to him nor so much as glanced at him. It made Silas uncomfortable. So he snatched a glass from the table and downed it quickly, uncaring
of what was inside it. "Fuck me, Silas! Good on you, man!" Cyrus exclaimed, smacking Silas’ back excitedly. "That was a
shot of El Lukadore tequila with 55 percent alcohol content. I myself needed to take a break after
taking a sip yet you downed all of it in one shot? What a lad!" Silas was stunned Tequila? 55 percent alcohol content? Silas felt his internal organs and digestive tract burn in the next instant. He dashed right to the
washroom. Rose glanced in Silas’ direction as he ran off, her eyes twinkling slightly. "Your heart isn't that strong. Why don't you quit drinking and smoking, hm? Even my man was able
to quit smoking, though he's been doing it for years, so I'm sure you can do the same.” Alyssa still duly played her role of Rose's caring mentor and grabbed her cigarette before
extinguishing it. "I know you need inspiration to draw. And there are many ways to get inspiration—
ruining your body for it isn't the wisest option. Plus, your face and teeth will turn yellowish after
smoking too much. You'll look ugly.” "So what? I don't need a man. All that matters is that my designs are beautiful.” Rose smiled
nonchalantly, though there was a hint of self-depreciation in her words. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the ƒind ηøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "You may not need a man, but there are some men who can't even focus in life without you."
Alyssa's eyes narrowed as she glanced at where Silas was sitting, only to find the spot empty. "Huh?
Where's Silas?" "He didn't look too well earlier. I think he's had too much to drink," Rose said faintly, though she
was a bit concerned. "Oh. Then hurry over to check up on him." Alyssa nudged Rose gently. "Go on then. Silas did help
you last time. You should go see if he's doing okay."
