Chapter57

Since he wants to give her a ride, she would let him. "Thanks for the ride director" Rose said. Matt's hand froze on the steering well she. He heard her words. Director? His brain froze at that second. It was clear that she was trying to draw a line between them and treat him as a stranger. As an ordinary colleague. She didn't want to admit that something had happened between them. He had already suspected this when the both of them did not talk to each other for all those days but he still wasn't sure. Hearing the woman call him director so distantly right now confirmed his suspicions. She did not really want to have anything to do with him. Why? He knew that he was quite good looking. He already made it clear that he was serious about her...why does she want to keep her distance from him? "Is there a problem Director?" Rose asked when she saw that Matt wasn't driving. Matt turned to look at her. The look on her face was calm and indifferent. Because of what happened between them when she saw him, she would at least try to avoid his gaze but now she was looking straight at him with indifference. He was really happy when Rose agree to get in the car immediately. He thought that it meant that she wasn't completely opposed to him. But it seems that he was wrong. It was because she thinks him as only a colleague and a superior. There was no reason for her to reject his help if he was only her superior. Matt really thought that it would have been better if she refused the ride. It would mean that she was still thinking about him and what happened between them. He wanted to say something but he did not know what he was supposed to say. In the end, he shut his mouth and drove started driving. Rose suddenly thought of something really important. He doesn't know where she lives right? It won't be too much of trouble for him right? "You don't know where I live right? Why don't you just drop me off at the bus stop if it's too much trouble for you?" Rose asked. Matt turned to look at her face. she was staring at him with the same indifference. She wasn't bothered much about him. She just did not want to make things hard for him. "It's nothing. It's not as if we don't know each other. I can drop you off at home" Matt said he was trying to act close with her. But Rose wasn't buying it at all. "I think it's going to be too much trouble for you. Just drop me off at tht bus stop" Rose said looking out of the car. She was really regretting it. What was she thinking getting into his car? Rose really thought that she would be able to treat him indifferently as if nothing happened between them but she soon found out that she was wrong. There was no way that she could do it Especially when she kept feeling his hot gaze on her. She felt as if a thousand ants were crawling under her skin. She was trying her best to make sure that her facade did not fall off but she knew that she was going to give herself away if she did not get off this car anytime soon. Suddenly, Matt stepped on the brake and brought the car to a stop. Rose looked outside. They weren't at the bus stop yet. What is wrong with this man? What is he trying to do? "What are you doing?" Rose asked him. "Are you trying to avoid me?" Matt asked her. Rose almost choked on her spit. She is trying to avoid him? Why would she get into his car if she was trying to do that? What kind of a logic was that? She wasn't trying to avoid him at all! What is he talking about? Well, she did think that she would be able to treat him indifferently. Turns out that she had over estimated herself on this. "What are you talking about Director?" Rose asked. She kept pretending to be indifferent. "What am I talking about? This is exactly what I'm talking about. Why do you keep calling me director?" Matt asked. For some reason, he really did not like those words coming from her mouth. Rose blinked. Of course she was going to call him Director. What else would she call him if not director? "Of course I'm going to call you Director. You are my superior after all" Rose said. Matt looked at her, trying to figure out what this woman was thinking in her head. Is she pretending to be dumb? But that innocent look on her face told him otherwise. When this woman was involved, he really did not know what he was supposed to think at all. "Is it too much trouble to take me to my place? Just drop me off at the bus stop. I can get home from there" Rose said. She would accept his favour but that did not mean that she was going to beg him at all! Rose removed her seat belt and tried to open the car door but Matt reached over and slammed the door shut, trapping her in the car so that she could not leave. Rose blinked her eyes again. She was really shocked. What is this person trying to do now? What games does he wants to play with her? "Why....why are you trying to distant yourself from me?" Matt finally asked the question that has been tormenting him all day. Rose gulped. It seemed that there was no way that she could avoid this situation in the end. "I'm distancing myself from you? Were we close to begin with?" Rose asked. Matt "....." He really did not have anything to say because she was right. It wasn't as if they were close to begin with. The both of them met because of an unfortunate incident twice and the second time, he asked her out, blowing all chances that he had with her. But Matt could still tell that there was something wrong with the way that she was treating him right now. Before, she tried to avoid him, but she wasn't this cold and indifferent to him. He suddenly thought of something. She isn't like this because of Kaira? It was possible. After what Kaira did, it was easy for her to misunderstand and come up with all kinds of conclusion in her mind. After all, her option of him wasn't even good to begin with. She already told that he was a player, just like Ryder. Seeing Kaira today must have confirmed what she thought of him. "Are we really not close? I like you. Even though we can't be considered "close", there is no reason for you to be so indifferent to me right?" Matt asked. When dealing with women like Rose, he knew that he had to be shameless or else she was going to slip out of his hands. Rose felt her face heating up when he mentioned that. She did not really think that he was going to bring that up. "You....." It was Rose's turn to be speechless. "What me? What happened to me? Didn't I make it clear last time that I like you?" Matt asked her. In the end, Rose hardened her expression and looked outside the car. "Don't joke around" She said. "Who said that I'm joking around? I already said that I like you, why can't you believe me?" Matt asked her. Even though she already said a lot last time, he just wasn't willing to accept that reason. "Because someone like you doesn't know what it means to like someone" Rose said. She knew that if she did not put an end to this conversation, Matt won't let her leave. She knew that this person could be completely shameless when he wanted to. She wasn't a match for him at all. Matt chuckled to himself. It was still the same story again. "How do you know that? How do you know that I don't know how to like someone? Even if I don't know how to like someone, I'm willing to learn because of you!" Matt said. Rose's heart skipped a beat when she heard that. He said that he was willing to learn what it meant to like someone because of her. It really was a sweet feeling. But she knew that she must not let herself be fooled by this man. She mustn't fall for his words or else she would be the one on the losing end. She did not want that at all! Rose smirked before turning to face him. "Do you really think I'm I'm going to believe that? I'm not going to fall for such lies" Maybe he said the same thing to that girl in his office earlier. "Why can't you believe it?. Tell me!" Matt demanded. "Don't you think that you are being too much right now? Tell me, did you say the same thing to that girl in your office earlier?" Rose asked. She didn't want to seem petty by bringing her up since it didn't even have anything to do with her anyway. But she knew that this person wasn't going to let her off easily. She had to do something if she wanted to get away from it. Suprisingly to Rose, Matt smiled when she said that. "So, are you jealous?" Matt asked. He could almost figure what was going in her head right now. She thinks that he has something to do with Kaira and so she is bring indifferent to him. Rose scoffed. "Jealous? Is there a reason for me to be jealous?" She asked. "Look, I don't have anything to do with Kaira. She is an old friend" Matt said. "I must be really stupid if I believe that!" Rose said. .she did not wait to hear anything else that Matt had to say. She opened the car door and got out. Matt sighed. what should he do? ****** TBC
