Chapter 41

Not Sincere At All Rose knew that it was wrong to judge people like this without getting to know them really well first but she didn't think that she was completely wrong. After all, every time that they met, he was always subtly trying to flirt with her. He only met her twice and he already said that he likes her. How can something like that even be sincere? She was sure that he wasn't sincere at all. She definitely wasn't going to waste her energy on him. Matt was shocked when he heard the words that she said. It turns out that she did not believe that he was sincere. But he thought that he was already sincere enough. What part of him looks like he isn't sincere shoot this? He is already very sincere alright. "Hey, how can you say that I'm not Sincere? I'm already very sincere. How can't you believe it?" Matt asked. He really didn't know what she was thinking in her head. How did she even manage to come up with this kind of conclusion? He really did not know at all! "You are sincere? Someone like you, I'm sure that you don't even know what the meaning of sincerity is! The word "like" is probably very easy to you. But as I've said, I really don't have the time or the energy for these kind of games. I already said it. Thank you for helping me that day. I'll treat you to dinner when I'm free. Good bye" Rose said. It was already best to decisively pit an end to these things before they got out of hand. It was only going to be a hassle then. She did not want that at all. Rose tried to get up again but Matt held her down. There was no way that he was going to let her go if he did not get to bottom of this. What is going on here? He really wanted to know. It would be even better if she rejected him. He could put more effort in chasing her and win her. But she said that she wasn't sincere. How on Earth is he supposed to work around that? He felt that his sincerity was clear enough. Why did she even come up with such an idea? "You have to explain it to me before you go. What do you mean by this? I said that I like you. It's true that the both of us have only let twice but haven't you heard the saying that it takes only a second to fall in love? How can you just brush me off and say that I'm sincere?" Matt asked. There was no way that he could accept such an out come. Rose smiled discreetly. The more she sat here and listened to this person, the more she was sure that he want sincere at all. There was no way that this sort of person was sincere about anything he said. "You know, the more I listen to you, the more I'm sure that there is no way that you are sincere. Just take for example. The main reason why you are trying to stop me from leaving is because of your pride? If I just rejected you outright, it won't be so bad. You'll just have to try harder. But your pride won't let you let me leave without giving a proper explanation. Because you weren't able to get it out of me, your pride is hurt and you are going to do anything to get your pride back" Rose said. There was some mist in her eyes. Suddenly, Matt could no longer tell what this woman was thinking. Matt "....." The more he listened to this woman, the more he found out that she could leave someone completely speechless as long as she wanted. She was cute when she was shy and blushing but when she got serious, even someone like him who had never lost an argument before suddenly could not win against her. Because everything that she said was the truth. He had to admit it. The real reasons he did not want her to just leave was because of his pride. He didn't even get a proper rejection, like he was great but the both of them are not compatible . She didn't even bother to say such fake words to him. She just told him that he wasn't sincere out right. How can his pride let him let go of something like that? He did not want to at all! "I..." Her words made him doubt himself. Was he even serious about her at all? He suddenly did not know at all. "I'm going to leave now. You aren't sincere at all so I don't think that we have to waste time with each other. Besides, you can basically tell a person's character from the company that they keep" Rose said. Matt "....!!???" Hey, what is the meaning of this?! What type of company does he keep? "What do you mean by that? What type of company do I keep?" Matt asked. He won't be accused for something that he knew nothing about at all ! "You should know yourself. For someone who's fronds with Ryder Thompson...I really don't have much to say" Rose said. It was as if she was looking at him. Matt "....!!!" It was the first time that he really regretted being friends with Ryder! He really regretted it! Why did he say hi to him in middle school?!! He was sure that her decision was 80% influenced because he was friends with Ryder. He had to be careful with that type of friends that he kept from now on. He didn't even do anything and his reputation has been gravely affected by Ryder! "Goodbye. I hope that you'll meet the girl that will make you really think about the meaning of the word "like"" Rose said and walked away. Matt did not try to stop her. He just watched her figure as she made her way out of the café. A girl that will make him consider the meaning of the word "like"? He had a feeling that he just met that girl..... ***** A few days later Vanessa was very happy that her daughter was married. She thought that because of what happened between her and her husband, her daughter was never going to get married. She was already starting to think that she was a failure of a mother. She could not give her daughter a good life and she had to suffer a lot growing up, causing her to grow up at a faster pace. She even went into the entertainment industry at an early age so that she could give the both a good life. She was already almost feeling depressed because of those thoughts. So when Scarlett got married to Ryder, she was really very happy. She was even more happy that she agreed to go on the honeymoon. It meant that thier relationship was good. She really hoped that they would be able to live happily for the rest of thier lives. Even though her daughter was in the entertainment industry, she did not follow the local news well. She did not know about Ryder's reputation. She thought that he was a really good person. She did not care about anything else as long as her daughter was happy in her marriage after. Because she was in really high spirits, she came out to meet a few friends She shopped with them for some time and then they went to a café to talk some more before they left. Normally, Vanessa won't be even able to meet these people. But because Scarlett was now the talk the town, she could hold her ground in front of these rich women now. No matter what, she was still a woman in her middle ages. For middle aged women like them, they did not have much to do. As long as thier children were doing well, then it was okay. They would gather to talk about the achievements of thier children from time to time. It was a really good feeling. Vanessa found out that for women her age, Scarlett was considered someone who had succeeded to a certain degree. Even though she could still do better, she was already doing well enough. And she even married Ryder Thompson. Even though he had a bad reputation, it was still quite envious that Scarlett actually married him. It was already quite late when Vanessa left her friends. She walked to the underground parking lot of the mall to drive her car out. As she was driving out, a car was driving out. The driver definitely did not have any considerations for the fact that this was a parking lot and someone might be coming up so she drove straight up with speed. The car crashed into Vanessa's car. Vanessa was scared at first. After a few minutes, she calmed down seeing that it was nothing serious at all. It was just a small crash. But still because she had a alarmed, she took a few minutes inside to settle down. In those few minutes, the woman driving the other car came down from the car. "What the hell is the meaning of this?! You just drive more carefully! Would you be able to afford if you cause any damage to my car?! Do you even know how much my car costs?!" The woman who came down from the car was a fashionable looking woman in her late twenties. She was dressed in designer clothed from head to toe like she was afraid that someone won't know that she was rich. Because Vanessa was still trying to settle down from the impact of the car crashing into hers, she did not hear the words that the woman said. She just heard that the woman was yelling loudly outside. The woman was angry when she found out that the person inside the car wasn't coming out at all. "What are you doing? Ehn! What do you think is the meaning of this? You hit my car and you don't even have any intentions of coming out to see the level of the damage that you caused? What kind of irresponsible attitude is this? If you did something wrong , then you have to take responsibility. Do you think that hiding in the car like this is going to save you?" The woman continued to yell. Her voice wasn't low at all! Vanessa finally could not bear it anymore. She opened the car door and came out. She was really losing her temper. When she came out and saw how young the woman was, she was even more angry. She is the one who crashed into her car and she did not even think of apologizing to her. She is even making a scene here right now. What is the meaning of this? What kind of a person is this? "Miss, I think that you got something wrong here. Your car was the one who crashed into mine. To begin with, you were driving carelessly in a parking lot. You should know that this a parking lot and that there might be people coming out. Your actions were irresponsible" Vanessa said. She did not plan on making trouble with this woman. As long as she apologized to her and acknowledged that this was her fault, Vanessa could very well let this incident go. She wasn't that petty. But the woman in front of her did not have any intentions of making peace or letting it go at all. "What nonsense are you talking about? Your crashed into my car and you think that you can talk your way out of it?" She asked. She looked at the woman's car and realized that the car she was driving was less expensive than hers.
