Axel''s statement that Roza was his responsibility now tugged at her heartstrings.
Still, Roza took a stand and pushed him away, escaping from his embrace.
"Don''t worry about it. I''m not that easily bothered. It''s not my first kiss. You don''t have to take things so seriously and take care of me for the rest of your life."
Roza flicked her hair back and waved her arm carefreely. "You''re hot, but I like bad boys, Mr. Prosecutor. I''m not interested in dating a fine, upstanding young man of thew." Bad boys?
That meant Drew and Ryan were likely her type of guys.
Ryan was taken, but Drew was avable. Besides, the party tonight was a st, with men and women socializing freely, like it was a mixer. Even Axel was attracted to Roza, but for all he knew, Roza could take a fancy to Drew instead.
With a potential rival on the horizon, Axel said, "Don''t you want to try something different?"
Roza was able to keep herposure up until then. She pressed her lips tightly together, nearly losing her poker face.
"I don''t mind that since it''s all about novelty and the thrill when ites to rtionships."
Roza grinned like a little nymphomaniac. "Though I wouldn''t put my money on a ky non-marriage advocate like you."
Roza hurried back and excused herself, saying that she had work to attend to. Her assistant came and gave her a ride. Worried and curious about Roza''s interaction with Axel, Be went to get answers from the source.
Downstairs in the living room, Axel slumped grumpily on the sofa and gulped down a hangover remedy from Wilma. "What happened? Did you get on Roza''s nerves?" Be came up aggressively.
Either way, Be took her best friend''s side.
"I kissed her." Axel did not see the point of hiding, so he came clean.
Maybe Be could give him a few ideas.
"Ow!"
Axel felt pain in his forehead. Be plucked one tiny grape from the te and threw it at his head.
"That exins why Roza looked teary and dejected when she came back. You upset her!"
Be made use of both her hands to grab the grapes and throw them at Axel, her face flushed with rage. "You''re a bastard! You hit on my best friend want to put a gun to your head and make you put a ring on her finger. I want Roza to be my sister-inw!"
Axel stared at her in a daze, brushing off the grape attack. In fact, he even caught one to put in his mouth. "Did you say that Roza left with teary eyes?"N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.
"Duh! You got on her nerves, so I sent her to check up on you. Whoever told you to get handsy with her? Are you a prosecutor or a criminal? Alcohol changed you!"
Be put her hands on her waist andunched a tirade. "Well, you''re not leaving Roza hanging like that unless you want to take over Dad by bing the biggest womanizer."
"Do you think I wanted to? I told her that I had feelings for her, but she wouldn''t ept me. What am I supposed to do?"
With red-rimmed eyes, Axel jolted to
his feet. “I admit I like her, so I told
her about my feelings. Sure, I know nothing about dating or making girls happy, but I wanted to at least give rtionships a go. She''s not
interested in me. She said seve
just
wanted to fool around. What more can I do? Are you going to make her fall in love with me?"
Be blinked in shock.
Jesus Christ. Did Axel profess his love to Roza already? He sure was a straight shooter.
Still, no decent woman would be pleased if a guy took their lips.
As the siblings did not keep their voices down, Justin quickly shifted closer to them.
Despite having a lot to drink, Justin believed his mind could not be any clearer He made a beeline to Be, put his arms around her waist, and asked in a raspy voice. "Why are you arguing with Axel?"
While wiggling her way out of Justin''s grasp, Be took her anger out on him. "You men are the same!"
