The Eternal Tulip

"This really was a big deal. I don't think I should used a backdoor like this." 

Jessica ambition has never been high. As long her mother legacy continues alive and on top like today, she always live in a low profile despite of being the only one Michael here. All she wants to have a simple family so she could live happily together. 

Now... ever since she alone and Michelle Legacy already on the top with Lucas help now Jessica even more less ambitious. 

She is very satisfied with the life of being able to design and occasionally travel. Back and forth to Europe.

Besides, she has always disliked to owe other people especially with the business partner,

"There are many projects in fashion, but the only one who can really get into my friend eyes is your design. He has seen your famous designs and he very satisfied. Don't be in a hurry to refuse. I hope you can think about it carefully. I'll give you three days and give me an answer in three days. Is it possible?" Rozy spoke sincerely, but Jessica was embarrassed to hear. 

Jessica couldn't refuse, so she answer stubbornly.

"Then I'll think about it. I really want a long rest before accepting a new partner." 

The two chatted for a long time. 

Jessica don't know when the sky outside had been dark.

Just when she got up and to bid goodbye, Jessica saw Shawn was sitting there across tables. The man who talked to him was getting up and leaving. He already stood up and walked in their direction.

Jessica suddenly turned her back and raised her feet to leave. 

Shawn had walked to the front and called her.

"Jessi. You wait a minute, I'm leaving right away with you." He took out an exquisite gift box from his pocket and handed it to Rozy. 

"Hey. Congratulations on the opening of the new store." He congratulated her.

Rozy stared at the two of them, and her eyes were dim for a moment. She finally recognized that the men clothes on Jessica were Shawn clothes, and he called Jessica "Jessi". 

Shawn was gentle to Jessica which was by no means the tone that he should call a friend. 

As Rozy didn't feel good at the bottom of her heart, but she still kept a smile on her face. 

"It's really appreciated for busy person like you to come to congratulate me in person. When did you come? Since we all know each other, why don't we come and sit together?" Rozy suggested.

She guessed Shawn and Jessica have that kind of relationship in her heart.

So Rozy couldn't help asking.

"Your girlfriend?"

"No!"

"Yes."

Both of them answered in opposite sentences.

Jessica stared at Shawn, his face was gloomy, and his mood was dark for a moment. Unexpectedly, by his answer as Jessica remembered their past school friendship. 

His answer sounds so ridiculous to say it out of his mouth at this moment.

"Mr Shawn really likes to joke. Don't listen to him. He and I are just classmates. So I'll go first, bye!" Jessica said before waved to Rozy left.

But Shawn quickly caught up and took her hand.

"Jessi. Where are you going? I'll send you there." He adamant.

When Rozy saw the two of them leave, she suddenly seemed to be discouraged. She weakly leaned against the door, and the smile on her face could no longer be maintained.

Jessica was dragged directly to the parking lot. The more she struggled, the tighter Shawn palm was clenched.
