Rosa's POV

*

My knuckles rapped on the door twice as I tucked my phone into my pocket.

"Come in!"

I made my way into the infamous Gonzalo Romano's room and he looked up the minute I entered.

These past few days had been really busy for everyone. I only had time to constantly check on my siblings when they got back from school to make sure they were doing okay because we'd had to deal with more and more paperwork and meetings.

"You sent for me sir." I told Gonzalo as I entered his room. My eyes were trained on him, already used to entering his room and keeping him company or working together. He mostly preferred his room to the study for working.

Also, he loved laying down on his bed for a few minutes break every now and then while working.

"Ah, Rosa dear. How are you?" He made for conversation, giving me a smile.

"I'm good." I studied him. He was in a good mood, judging from his cheerful tone; but then one couldn't rely on his mood, seeing as he was always quick to switching moods.

"Please have your seat. There's something I'd like to ask you?"

I furrowed my brows, taking my seat and wondering what he could probably want to talk to me about at this time of the night. I mean, it was getting dark already.

"What do you want to tell me?"

"Is it possible that you won't leave my presence at all?" He gave me a dimpled smile while asking.

"Why?" I got even more confused.

"You know, you should attend to me at all times. I could need someone to talk to or need some help with some paperwork." He shrugged.

"That's not possible sir. I can't attend to you in my own personal time, when I'm off work. We do the office work together in your office but I have my personal time for myself." I replied curtly but made sure my tone was firm.

I must make sure to not neglect my siblings. Being in this kind of world, where I was working for someone as ruthless and dangerous as Gonzalo Romano itself was already a form of endangering my siblings lives. The mansion was safe though, with bodyguards constantly taking turns on their duties but that didn't mean I would let my guard down.

The best I could do was to try as much as I could to keep Leonardo and Greta from harms way and also give them as much motherly and fatherly upbringing as my parents would've done.

I looked up from my nails to see him puckering his lips, sporting on a sad expression.

"Are you tired of me already? Is that it? Do you want to leave me soon, because you sound like you do." He asked with curious eyes and I shrugged, not giving in to the manipulative question. "Oh, so now you're giving me an indefinite answer. So you are tired. Is that so?"

"Well-"

He raised a hand and picked his vibrating phone, pausing me from my response.

"Sí?" He paused for a few seconds and huffed. "No." He gave me a levelled stare while speaking with whoever was on the phone with him. "When?"

He eyed me from toe to my head and back. Then his eyes drooped and he licked his lower lip. My insides were screaming as I watched the whole movement and I didn't know how to react.

I mean, did he just stare at my lips with a dreamy expression and then lick his own lips?

My cheeks warmed a little but I shifted my gaze away from him.
