chapter two 

       "The Viceroy is the richest family in New York, their company, The Viceroy Enterprise is the top company in America and has made in the top 5 in the world. There are tons of hotels, restaurants, buildings, that are under The Viceroy Enterprise. So it will obviously make sense how this project is so important to your boss, Belle. They're just so fucking rich and successful." Max explained.

His explanation made Rosabel understand everything right away. "Do you think I can do it, Max?" She asked unsurely.

"Absolutely! You will do great in this project. You're Rosabel fucking Palmentere, there is nothing in this world she can't do. Just like I said just now, I believe in you, and you should too."

"Thanks Maxxy, you the best." Rosabel feels much better. She felt more powerful and his words make her believe in herself that she is capable and she'll do great.

Rosabel took some fries and shoves them into her mouth, "THIS IS SOO GOOD!!" She moaned.

"See, I know you'll like it." Max said, "And Belle, would you promise me one thing?"

Rosabel turned her head towards Max, "Promise what?"

"I know that this is a big project that you have to handle, but promise me, no matter how busy you are you should never forget to eat okay? I don't want what happened back in Amsterdam to happen again." Max was really worried about her.

How could he not? Remembering the accident about a year ago, when Rosabel was so busy preparing for her finals and rarely eats. She ended up passing out and was brought to the hospital, she had to stay there for 3 days to make sure she got all her nutrition back on her body.

Max and Lucas are always there for her, cause they promise Rosabel's grandparents who lived in Amsterdam to look after her. They have this guilty feeling that made them feel it's their fault Rosabel was laying unconscious and weak on the hospital bed.

And now since they left Amsterdam and move to New York, Rosabel has no other relatives here. It's only them. So they are a little bit more protective of her. Especially when her parents trusted them to look after their daughter and will make sure she's fine.

Rosabel sigh, "Max, you know it's neither of yours and Lucas's fault right? That happened because of my own careless self."

"I still felt the guilt, Belle. Till now actually, call me that I'm being too much, but that's really how I feel. I just never wanted anything to happen to you. Especially now, your parent relies on Lucas and me to have an eye on you. Do you remember how they react when they know you are very sick at that time? They were so worried.

And that was when we're back in Amsterdam with your grandparents. Now, we're here, neither of your parents or grandparents is here, so if that happens to you again, can you imagine how worried they'll be?" Max spoke.

"I promise Max, I won't let that happen again. But please don't worry and get stressed out just because of me. I'll be fine, Max. Trust me." Rosabel assured him.
