She turned to Wayne, "Could a hacker unblock their number on your phone?"

"Yeah, definitely. They can do anything to your phone depending on how good they are," Wayne replied. " I am really tired now, I want to go back to rest," he complained to Anna who seemed to not want to leave anything soon.

"Hey," a male voice said from behind Rose.

Rose was shocked when she recognized the voice immediately. "Eric. What are you doing here?" She asked with a smile before turning to face him.

"I got here today. You hid the good thing for yourself," he told with a playful glare.

"Don't say that, I invited you but you rejected my invitation," she said with a frown.

"Oh come on, I was only joking. This was amazing. I have watched fashion shows on TV and seen it in magazines but I have never been to one. It's a whole new experience," he said sincerely as he stared around with a very obvious admiration.

"Same here. I enjoyed it. I could see those clothes really close and I almost wanted to touch one of them. It had a unique pattern," she told him with a hint of excitement although she tried her best to suppress the excitement she felt and wanted to appear calm.

"They ignore everyone as soon as they begin talking about fashion," Anna said coldly.

"When are you leaving for B city?" Rose asked Eric after they talked about fashion and the fashion show for a while.

"Next week if I don't get too bored," he replied.

"We are going on a tour on Wednesday do you want to come with us?" Rose asked.

"Yes. Call me whenever you want to visit any fun place and don't leave me out," he told her.

"I met the Queen designer. She was nice," Rose said smiling.

"Really? I already wanted to meet her but I will when I get into the university."

"I will talk to mum before we leave" Anna said to get her sister's attention. She wanted her sister to see the clothes or touch them since it sounded like she wanted to earlier.

"Are we leaving as soon as you get back?" Rose asked as she got tired.

"Yes," Anna replied and watched her sister turn back to talk to Eric. She thought Rose was going to follow her to tell her mum they were leaving but she was too busy talking to consider doing that.

"I heard she also finds talents to work in the palace," Eric said.

"Yes she does." Rose's mind drifted off to the fact that she wanted to be chosen to work in the palace although she was not very sure of her decision.

"I don't want to work in the palace. I just hope I can get a nice company like this to work with or simply start mine."

"Eric," Debby said when she could not stop staring at how good he looked in what he wore. Every single piece or accessory he wore seemed to fit perfectly and the slightly glistering jacket he wore might not appear good on anyone but fit him perfectly.

Eric turned his attention to Debby with a smile as he noticed her presence. "Sorry I did not greet earlier," he apologized like a gentle man. "Hi Debby, Wayne and . . ."

"My name is Noah. I . . ." Noah said stretching her hand to Wayne for a handshake.

"She is my girlfriend," Wayne said with a proud smile.

"Wow, you are beautiful," he commented with a sincere smile. He took her hand for a brief friendly handshake.

"Thank you," Noah appreciated with a very slight blush.

"You always make Anna annoyed," Wayne commented. "She must hate you a lot."

"I don't think so," he said shaking his head at that thought. He knew why Anna disliked him but her reason was not justified because he had told her over and over again that he did not have romantic feelings towards Rose but liked her as a friend.

"We can leave now," Anna said as soon as she returned. She glared at Eric before hugging her sister's arm.

Eric gulped, Anna will definitely be a very terrible sister-in-law.

"I will call you soon," Rose told Eric with a smile.

"Oh, sure. Bye then," he said waving them as they left.

Noah jubilated over the gem she discovered. It was an important secret that nobody knows and it will be easy to make a wonderful story online with this information.

She put a stop to her jubilation when she remembered how powerful Liam was and she did not want to mess with him.

"I saw dad," Anna said when they got home hoping to get a change in Rose's expression but she was disappointed when Rose nodded and went into her room.

Rose closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She glanced at her phone and smiled. She was in a really bad mood before Liam arrived and her mood got better when Liam sent her text.

She did not want to lose the joy she felt by worrying about other things. She groaned in need of a hot warm and sleep and headed towards the bathroom.

The following day, she called Eric over and they went shopping together with Wayne, Debby, Anna and Noah. The city looked a lot more interesting the more Rose stared.

She made a list of all they needed to buy so, after shopping around for a short while, they went to the grocery store.

The girls helped to pick the right item while the boys helped move the things they bought and they bought a lot. It was fun for the girls as they watched Rose chose the right item among many others.

"I have never done this before but I want to do it again," Anna said excitedly when Rose began choose meat in the show glass.

"Same here," Noah said as she looked at the fresh meat in the show glass. "I did not know steaks looked this way before it was served into my plate."

"Funny, what about cooking classes?" Rose asked in disbelief. She had a lot of cooking classes in the orphanage. In her past life, she also had to cook for herself after leaving the orphanage.

"We hated them and never attended any," Anna confessed easily.

"I never attended any cooking class in school either. Seeing the fresh meat makes me not want to eat it," Noah complained beside Rose. She appeared to like Rose a lot and she wanted to be Rose's friend.

"I heard some people eat raw meat and fish," Debby said. "I also watched it in a video."

"Really?" Rose asked. She have not been very interested in anything except fashion, her academics and the kingdom. She had no idea about that.

"Yes. I saw it in a vlog. Should we try it? Should we try raw fish?" Debby asked to satisfy her curiousity. Ever since she saw it in a video, she always wanted to try it.

"Try it when you get home, nobody will stop you," Anna said shaking her head at her friend before turning away from the show glass and walked to another part of the store.

"This place is getting a little bit crowded, I think we should leave," Eric said from behind when he began feeling uneasy.
