Caesar's Rose

Chapter 65

My heart picked up.

Caesar is here?

Which of the Caesars? It can't be CJ, right? If it was him, mum would not be this calm and...confused. She knows CJ.

It is Mr Caesar.

Oh God.

"Do you know the person?" Mum asked.

"Huh? I...."

"Let's go out there." She retorted, making my heart drop.

"Come on,"

I nodded slightly, fiddling with my fingers as I walked towards her. I walked past her and out of my room. I walked along the mini hallway with my mum following me behind.

My heart pounded as I took slow steps. If it is really Mr Caesar, then I am definitely dying today.

My mum is going to kill me.

I went to the living room and my heart dropped.

There he was.

Mr Caesar. He is dressed in a black suit, looking gorgeous as always. His guards are standing close to the door, showing off how small our house is for them.

Mr Caesar got on his feet at the sight of me. A smile formed on his lips and my heart raced.

God, why is he here?

"Rose," he said, looking at me with that charm in his eyes.

My legs weakened.

"So, she is here." Mum's voice sent shivers down my spine.

"Yes, she is." Mr Caesar said, smiling at me.

I furrowed my brows slightly.

What is he doing here for pit's sake?!

"Do you mind telling me how you know my daughter?" Mum asked.

My temples became sweaty.

"Well, Mrs Adams, I am...."

"Mrs Adams?" Mum retorted. I sensed her looking my way.

I dropped my gaze. My heart begged to explode.

"Uh, she is Rose Adams. So I thought you must be Adams too," Mr Caesar said.

"No. I am not married, and we changed our last name to Roberts," Mum said.

"Oh. I am sorry. I didn't know." Mr Caesar said, making me look at him momentarily.

"Pardon me, but can you tell me who you are and how you know my daughter?" Mum asked.

I clenched the sides of my dress.

"Yes, ma'am. I am...."

"I'm sorry, but please stop with the ma'am thing." Mum retorted, adding to my discomfort.

"I think we are probably the same age, or maybe you are older than I am." She added.

Geez, mum!

She just had to say that.

I looked at him momentarily and we locked eyes.

"Of course, ma...."

"Claudia." Mum corrected.

"Claudia. Thank you. I am Caesar Imperial. CEO of Dynasty Empire and your daughter was my employee."

I looked at him.

He is smiling at me.

"Oh my God. Really? You are her boss?" mum asked.

"Yes," he said.
