Later that night, the transaction happens as normal, except there's no money involved, only goods. The procedure of transferring large shipments of advanced tech is monitored carefully by the supposed buyer's men, both sides are still tense from the earlier conflict.

"He will not be happy about this, boss..." Gael's man whispers to his boss, reminding him about the other buyer who was supposed to have the stocks.

"Fuck, I'm actually considering his offer after this." Gael grunts, observing the process in barely concealed anger. "These fuckers have been on the top forever, and now they think they can do whatever the hell they want."

"Didn't think he would pull this shit on me, fucking threatening me with a god-damned gun. I should blow his head off right now, god-damned!"

"Boss, calm down." His man reassures him, taking notes of the watchful glances of the opposite syndicate's members, who are all ready to use their guns if needed.

"We'll have our revenge." He mutters, his eyes full of determination. "Let me handle this."

The next morning

Rosalie

I step in the shower, feeling droplets of water hitting my skin.

It feels good, being in the warm flow of water. I let my mind wander around a bit.

Sudden remembrance of Keith makes me feel sad. He did not mean that right? Yeah, he was probably drunk. It was my fault, I dressed up so nicely...

I hope later when I meet him to figure everything out, it will be fine again.

...

I clear my head a bit.

Only to think about...

Him...

Out of all the things in the world, my brain just decides it's great to think about that sexy ass stranger, again.

Oi brain, you got some obsession with him? I ask it, no answer. It ignores me... Rude.

But damn, he was unbelievably hot, even if his face was not clearly made out in the dusky setting that night... I wonder what he looks like in daylight... Wonder if I'm ever going to see him again...

Wait hol' up.

Rosalie, stop. You shouldn't be daydreaming about another guy when you already have a boyfriend. You should be thinking about how to solve the problems between you guys instead!

Ugh... *facepalms oneself.*

10 minutes later

I walk to the sink, which is only a meter from the shower and look at the mirror. I gaze into my blue eyes and smile. I always admire my beauty whenever I'm near a mirror, alone.

I plug the hair dryer electric receptacle in a socket next to the light switches by the door and turn it on, blow-drying my long wavy ginger hair.
