Rose and Sia got out of the car. Thomas accompanied them to the door of Jayden's villa.
Sia thanked Thomas once again, "Thank you, Thomas."
"Don't mention it, Sia. We are friends from now on. Don't be so polite." Thomas was thanked all the way and was a bit embarrassed now.
"Thomas, you go back first. I'll send her in." Rose did not want to delay Thomas's time any longer.
"Today is Jayden's birthday and I have nothing else to do. You send her in and I'll wait for you here. Then, we can go back to the restaurant together." Thomas stood there straight, his face handsome under the warm light.
"I have arrived at the door. Ms. Rose, you don't need to see me off. You and Thomas should go back to celebrate Jayden's birthday for him. He will be sorry for not having you guys there." Sia pushed Rose to Thomas, "Don't worry. Go ahead."
Rose took her hand, "Then we're going."
"OK." Sia raised her hand to wave with Rose and Thomas.
Rose and Thomas said goodbye to her and then turned to leave. They walked for a few minutes to Thomas's car. Rose was wearing high heels, did not step steady, and almost fell down. Thomas was eagle-eyed and quickly stepped forward to hold Rose.
Rose immediately backed away from Thomas and kept a distance from him after standing up.
"Thanks."
"You are welcome." Thomas looked at Rose, froze for a second and shook his head, and then pulled open the car door, "Get in. Please be careful."
Rose got into the car. Thomas lightly closed the door. He looked at Rose through the window glass for one more second before smiling and getting into the car to drive away.
At the same time, the person standing behind a lush tree slowly walked out. He looked at the distant car, took out the phone in his pocket, and clicked on his photo album, which just recorded the picture of Thomas hugging Rose.
Rose and Thomas did not know it at all. After all, they did not notice that there were other people at that time and the light was not bright.
Thomas drove out of Springhill Villa and headed for the restaurant. After driving for a while, Thomas spoke, "Rose, do you remember when Jayden took you and Nora to play with us when we were studying?"
"Jayden used to have a birthday party every year on his birthday. Jayden and I were classmates in high school and became good friends. Then, I got to know you guys. At that time, you and Nora were still young girls. But now, you've grown up to be a goddess that everyone likes." Thomas said about the past, trying to evoke Rose's memories.
"I was very impressed with you and Nora at that time. One of you was quiet and the other was dynamic. One was passionate and the other was elegant. It's hard for others not to notice you guys. You must not have been impressed with me."
"No. I still have some impression." Rose actually didn't have much impression on Thomas. But she had to spare his feelings and couldn't speak too directly. It would make her look silly.
"Then I'm really honored." Thomas looked very happy, "I went abroad when I was in college, and then stayed abroad for six years before returning. But I haven't seen you since. I heard from Jayden that you went to work in another city."
"Yes." Rose nodded.
"So are you back to City H now? Where are you working? How is the job? Are you tired?" Thomas asked several questions.
